Fans can meet their favorite actors in a fantastic city.

FanSided followers who live in Detroit already have access to some of the country's best sports teams like the Tigers, Lions, Red Wings, and Pistons. However, this spring those entertainment-minded who love to boldly go to conventions will have the opportunity to meet some of Star Trek’s most beloved actors at this year’s Motor City Comic Con.

Star Trek: The Next Generation and Picard’s Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner will both be on hand. However, the Kelvin Timeline’s own Dr. Leonard McCoy (Karl Urban) and Scotty (Simon Pegg) are also scheduled to appear at the upcoming MCCC.

The Motor City Comic Con runs Friday, May 15 through Sunday, May 17, at the Vibe Credit Union Showplace just outside Detroit in Novi, Michigan. Spiner and Urban will be onsite all three days of the convention. Frakes is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, while Pegg will only appear on Saturday. Now, just how much will it cost fans to procure autographs and photo opportunities? Here’s the breakdown:

Jonathan Frakes (autograph $60 | selfie $60 | photo op $70 | premium autograph $80)

Brent Spiner (autograph $60 | selfie $60 | photo op $70)

Karl Urban (selfie $80 | autograph $100 | photo op $100 | premium autograph $120)

Simon Pegg (autograph $100 | photo op $110 | premium autograph $130)

Star Trek fans can also take a duo photo op with the Kelvin Timeline’s Urban and Pegg for $200 and/or a duo photo with TNG/Picard’s Frakes and Spiner for $130. For more information, including admission prices for adults and children — there’s even a FREE child’s pass available on Sunday — visit the Motor City Comic Con’s official website.
