The link to Creation's auctions site. This is where you find out about meet & greets, jam sessions (when they had them), and other special Supernatural con treats beyond a con ticket. You will not find these items on the main site with the con info. It lists all of the auctions for all of their cons so be careful if you're placing a bid to make sure you place a bid on the thing you want.

Creation calls this a "Dutch auction" but as I understand a Dutch auction, this ain't it. So if you're familiar with Dutch auctions, this may not be what you expect. A few people have been confused by this process expecting it to be operated as a true Dutch auction and they say it's not.
Most people who are familiar with Dutch auctions expect this (taken from Wikipedia):
A Dutch auction is a type of auction in which the auctioneer begins with a high asking price which is lowered until some participant is willing to accept the auctioneer's price, or a predetermined reserve price (the seller's minimum acceptable price) is reached. The winning participant pays the last announced price. This is also known as a so-called clock auction or an open-outcry descending-price auction.
This is what Creation says is a Dutch auction:
Dutch Auction – A Dutch Auction is another name for a multiple item auction. These listings are for selling more than one identical item individually in an auction format. Buyers can submit a bid for one, or multiple items in a Dutch Auction listing. When there are multiple buyers for a Dutch Auction, the item’s final cost is the lowest successful bid by the highest bidders.
Creation's wording has confused many a person. From what I've seen in watching Creation's auctions & from what people who've bought these things tell me, these items don't go down, they go up. I'm going to continue to watch the process. If it becomes a actual DA, I might would try to get M&G.

Also thanks for the heads up on the auctions and the bidding. 
Enjoy January. 
Good luck and hang in there Supernatural fans.
