Quoted from Gritty:

I also had a run in with the curly haired guy. I traveled to the show with my 12 year old son to setup a game in the free play area. When I registered the game they gave me a wrist band for free admission and when I asked to pay for my sons attendance he told me my son would have to wait outside for a ticket until the show started. This was at 10am Friday and the show started at 12. When I told him I wasn’t going to send my son outside he got very abrasive and told me security was going to escort him out. I can understand they have strict policies around admittance but they should be able to pre admit/sell tickets to family members or helpers that come along to setup games. Friday was a nasty weather day and to make people wait outside for tickets that helped setup the show is stupid.
All in all I thought this was the best Allentown show I have attended. One jackass is not going to deter me from attending or bringing a game again next year.

Congrats on the domino cool game.
And I'm sure curly was doing just what he was asked to do - strictly enforce the rules. He was dealing with a machine trying to wheel itself out the door every 10 minutes by lunchtime so it's no surprise he was getting grumpy.
I'll bring a game again, I didn't feel like the experience was a pain at all.

Quoted from Ivan1496:

So I’ve spent the better part of my day reading and responding. I’ve done a lot of thinking about this issue and so many others. I think the best solution is for me to hire security to deal with all this. A lot of it! The battered looks on faces of my crew are something I never want to see again. These guys aren’t just help they’re my friends. I’d like to keep it that way. They and I had a particularly tuff time this year. I think its best that Pinfest staff stay out of it altogether. We really don’t want to deal with it anyway. We wish to maintain the reputation for being a courteous and helpful staff.
This won’t be cheap and I’m not paying for it, the community is. You can expect admission, early withdraw, vendor and flea market fees to increase to cover the costs of security. You should expect that security to be there on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. You deal with them. We will do our part to make sure everyone understands the rules. There should be no more excuses. Its my hope that the increases will be modest as I’m burdening everyone with the cost. For most of you it won’t be a problem. For some, it might, I apologize.
