Wanted to see how much interest there would be? Maybe Saturday 12-4
(Topic ID: 252550)
For those that are ignorant, what is Pinball Olympics?
And I guess by playing in it, I could take myself off of this? https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/who-do-i-not-know-in-chicago-area
Quoted from Coz:Is this at expo or someone’s house?
It would be at my house, 40 mins from expo
That video is from my house as well
I'd sure like to attend, either Sat of expo or 12/4.

I meant the time would be 12-4 p.m., short and sweet
Quoted from cosmokramer:Wtf...
Indeed.
Quoted from Gryszzz:Is Donald Fagen driving the shuttle bus?
Yes
Quoted from timtim:Honestly it makes me want to come out just for this.
Always loved these crazy ways to play games
Come pick me up.
Quoted from bangerjay:This will cost some money for entry, just not sure how much yet
I will split my 13 cents with you. But I'm keeping the nickel.
Quoted from JayDee:I want in!!
Ok, in!

I’ve seen your house, I know you have money
Quoted from Toppers:Sounds and looks like a blast! Some of those I’ve scene at pinball life
Unfortunately they’re out of room over there this year, so I’m doing this

Charge a fuckton to cover your building expenses, olympic games, and tacos. Most people have no idea how much you've invested in all this. Cheapskates who don't appreciate it can hang out at Expo.

I’m in for that. Please make my invoice out to [email protected]. Lol. You really should charge for this rather unique even and effort. Looking at the videos your creativity is something to see.
Dang it !!! not attending Expo again this year 
& have been anxiously awaiting another Olympics! best Pinball event I have ever attended!! Enjoy everybody it should be right up there with PBL open house as the must do events at this years expo

I would easily pay a nice entry fee/donation to support my attendance!
I agree that most have zero idea how special this is, how much time/effort/energy you have put in, and how lucky we all are to even get an invite.
I have a feeling most won't complain about any sort of fee
Quoted from Scribble:I'm in for taco guy.
Taco guy is [fire emoji]

Gimme a starting number
Quoted from bangerjay:Gimme a starting number
$600 per person. Seriously though I would pay literally whatever you think is fair for how awesome this is.
Also I'm down for this unless I somehow survive to day 2 of expo tourney and then I will be a sad panda. Any way for it to be a bit later in the day to avoid that? I'm not sure how long into Saturday the playoffs will go though...
Quoted from bangerjay:Gimme a starting number
$50 with food/tournament included. Price goes up $1 each day after ticket sales start.
How's that? Too cheap?
I also like the idea of price goes up each day. Set a limit for number of people is likely a good idea also?
Quoted from Whysnow:I also like the idea of price goes up each day. Set a limit for number of people is likely a good idea also?
What about 2 tournament waves, once your tourney is done GTFO. Taco party between events.
BYOB is a good idea. Have water and soda.

I don’t think 4 hours is long enough for 2 waves (might over complicate things also as far as score entry and such ) Even with 4 hours most people in the tourney will not have time for every game in the Olympic event .
$40- $50 is fair for event and food .
I was thinking $50 too even before everyone else said that. Great minds think alike.
...or even $100, is that insane? Would definitely limit attendance to a manageable number. Call it a construction fundraiser? Anyone who's seen your new building knows you basically built a house for this.
Quoted from Gryszzz:I'm thinkin $11.27. Per carload.
