Have a question?
Let’s talk pinball.

Only certain charity and pindemption tournament games need money to play. All games in all the free-play rooms are free with your paid admission.

On our web site and in handouts at the show.

Yes! Many of the games you’ll see at the show will be for sale. We provide a “game card” to place on your game to indicate if it is for sale or not, how much it is, and who to contact for more information. When you register the game on-line, it gets entered into a game list that will help people find it at the show. We do ask whether or not your game sells to keep it on the show floor until the end of the show.  See the Free Play Game Registration page for more details.

You could set up in the outdoor flea market if you have several. If you have just one, best to advertise on-line before the show that you will have it in your vehicle. You can also post a for sale flyer on our bulletin board (suggested 5.5″ x 8.5″ max) with a phone number and/or email for contact.

Yes! Many of the games you’ll see at the show will be available for purchase directly from their owners & authorized distributors. If you purchase a game from one of the free-play rooms, we ask that you not remove it until the end of the expo. [Games bought elsewhere, such as in the Vendor Hall, can be removed immediately.] Check the confirmed 2027 game-provider terms for removal times and any applicable fees.

No. You can bring any number of working games to place in the free-play room until the early-removal time on that said day or else the early-removal fee will apply. These games can be labeled as being for sale.

You do have to register as a flea-market vendor to offer games to people walking through the parking lot, but you do not need to register if you only use the parking lot to deliver games or parts in a pre-arranged sale. Vendor packages are usually reserved for businesses who sell more than just games or who wish to have a more “visible” presence with signage and a central location.

Choose a Thursday, Friday or Saturday Day Pass, or Friday/Saturday Evening admission after 8 PM. For early entry and Extra Ball Lounge access on Friday or Saturday, choose that day’s Extra Ball Pass. Compare the 2027 passes.
