If you already have the book you cannot go to the signing because you need a wristband, which you get the morning of the event when you buy it at the location. If you already bought a book you would have to buy the book again to get the wristband and come back later that evening to the event. That's how they make money.
For a signing? I recommend going early as their will be a line to meet with who ever is there.
