We are confident that a GB with be in the show we have not included on our site as it is not here yet and only include machines we have confirmations on. In saying that there is an excellent chance you will be seeing it there.

The 2016 Edmonton Pinball and Arcade Expo is proud to partner up with Kids Up Front who provides event tickets to underprivileged kids in the Edmonton area. It is an excellent cause and the event will be donating any of the unused sponsorship weekend passes to this organization to give underprivileged kids an opportunity to come out experience the world of Pinball and Arcade. This is just one way that YEGPIN is helping give back to a community that has been so supporting of them.

All pre-orders get the VIP treatment you just made it, all VIP's will receive an email next week on how they access their tickets and free stuff, glad you are making the trip out, see you there.

The preorder tickets site will be removed When they will no longer be available and I can tell you it will be really soon probably before the March 31st deadline as we will sell out of them.

YEGPIN has 98% of the pre-sale VIP tickets sold, as we are so close to the cutoff date, we will continue to sell VIP tickets up to March 31, 2016 @ 9:00pm MST as stated on the website, and will allow any last minute purchases to go through. Get your VIP tickets while you can as the window of opportunity is quickly closing. A reminder Pre-Sale VIP ticket sales receive the following benefits:

Less than 24 hours and the website pre-ordering VIP ticket window closes, you will only be able to purchase your weekend or daily admission with no extra benefits. Don't miss out going to be a hell of a show!!!!

We have officially sold out (100 VIP spots) but will honor any of the tickets purchased until Thursday March 31, 2016 @ 9:00PM PST.

I am proud to announce that Nitro Amusements has moved up to a Gold Sponsor for the event, they have donated five (5) The Big Lewboski translites for the event. Thanks to Nitro for their generous donations, these items will be available in the silent auction, show up to make sure you get a chance to get one of these beautiful pieces of artwork.

That is the beauty of this event there will be approximately 70plus machines in the main hall and in vendors booths too enjoy, if you have a VIP pass you will have 2 plus hours of access on everything in the show. We have tried to strike a good balance an awesome tourney for competition players and good selection for for general public players that just want to play some pinball.

Okay the powder coating is complete on the machine that will go to the winner of the Western Canadian Pinball Championship, if I get all of the pieces installed this weekend I will announce the machine and provide pictures. Going to be one sweet prize for someone.
I want to give a huge thanks to Chris Priebe from Addictive Powder for hooking us up on this donation, he does awesome work I and a few other collectors have our machines done by him and he does awesome work, so if you are looking to pimp your pinball machine don't hesitate to contact him. 780-720-3063

Centaur_(resized).jpg

As much as I would like to play I will not be participating in the classics tournament unfortunately, have to keep you guys under control and also run the tournament, one of the many sacrifices you make to run a good show.

Never played my Centaur it was restored as soon as I got it.

Paragon - 2.7m this before I added the seven digit display
Eight Ball - 500k have not played it much as it has been getting restored.
Altantis - 15,080

These machines are all in collector shape and will be tough as nails for the tournament I would be very surprised if anyone got to these scores all weekend including myself if I were playing on them but you never know

You caught me 150,800

Ya never seen that high my settings, but you never know haven't decided whether to turn extra ball off or not too don't want to make it too hard for everyone.
