I can agree their time has value and they should be paid to be at conventions etc, unless they are there promoting a show, but to just charge a fan seems like a cash grab.
I'm assuming they have a fee for an appearance, then the actual expo charges for the autographs/photos to make up for that fee. It's not like if you bumped into Jeremy Renner at Bass Pro Shop he'd ask for a hundo to take a selfie with him.
