Well, it looks like we might be having a waiting list this year for our free-play area.
We are almost at capacity with registered games. If you want to make sure you get your game on the floor you might want to get it registered.

If you registered and we are at capacity I will reply to your registration and let you know that you are on the waitlist.

FYI regarding shirts at the show and pre-order. We picked the four colors we plan to have available at the show. The four colors that did best are, dark grey, burgundy, purple and wait for it……black! Who would have thought? Anyway, if you preferred one of the other colors in a specific size, you have a few more days to order on line at Pinfestival.com. It’s where you order tickets at Afton. The colors chosen will be available for a bit longer. At some point we need to pull the order process and what’s at the show is what we have.
See you all soon,
Ivan

We are offering every shirt color to be bought on-line, but we will only have about 3 color shirts for sale at the show and your favorite shirt options might not be available to be purchased. Also be aware there is a very high chance that we might be sold out of shirts by the time you attend the show as that has happened in the past few years.

If you run into any issues, please reach out to us.
SHIRTS MUST BE PICKED UP AT THE SHOW.
Thanks,
Ivan & Karen

Our Free-play area is almost at capacity if your game is not pre-registered, we cannot guarantee entry into the show that way. So, if you want to make sure you can get in thru the free-play area please make sure you get your pinball machine registered. Go to www.pinfestival.com/freeplay.html and click on Pinball registration. If we meet capacity I will reach out to let you know that you are put on a waiting list.
