Pre-registration for the 2015 Texas Pinball Festival is officially open! Bring a game for free play and get in free! I'll post show updates here as they are announced.

In the meantime, looking forward to seeing everyone at Pinball Expo in Chicago and Houston Arcade Expo next month!
Quoted from Gov:Ed, a few of us have been trying to register since yesterday and when we click on the pre-register link it just takes us to a blank page.
Hmmm... several folks have already registered without an issue. I know last year some folks using older versions of Internet Explorer or that have firewalls set up (mostly at work) had trouble. What browser are you using? Have you tried to view it from another computer (or on your smartphone)?

If you are still having trouble, shoot me a PM and I can register you on my end.

I'm having the same problem. I've tried using IE and Chrome, neither work.
Quoted from ita47:I'm having the same problem. I've tried using IE and Chrome, neither work.
I've just tested IE (10 & 11) and Google Chrome on Windows 7 and 8 with no issues. Also works on my iPhone 5 (Safari). I'm thinking it's a firewall or older browser issue.

I tried it on my phone and I was able to register. It must be a firewall issue, its just weird it just keeps the registration page from coming up. It doesn't show it's blocking anything the page is just blank. Thanks for checking it out! I can't wait for TPF.
IN, with 6M$M, Black Pyramid and of course, The Acrylic Pinball Project! (Sonic Super Straight) With any luck, and cooler weather, I should also have EBD and SI. Go Bally Alley! See y'all there.

I can verify that last year they only used the card I supplied to 'hold' the reservation. They didn't charge anything to the card until we checked in/out. (I know that for sure as I reserved it with a credit card and paid with my debit.)
I reserved it this year with a credit card and nothing's been charged to it.

Bring your Joust. It is wasting away spending its life as Christmas decorations. 
Quoted from Quiddity:I think my kids' top three were the Warlords cocktail, Joust, and Varkon/Granny and the Gators. (If I had the money and the room, that Warlords would have been mine...)
Varkon was awesome. I put at least five games on it. Won't be back in 2015 sadly. Marc sold his and I can't think of another in the area...at the moment anyway.
I TRIED to enjoy GatG... sadly, apparently, I'm not that good at it! I did spend a good amount of time on the Joust with the wife. When she finds a game that appeals to her, we'll play a lot of games. TOTAN, CC, KISS and even some on the Gilligans Island. Neat game. Also put a dozen or so on the Mirror Universe. That thing is amazing.
Banzai Run stole the show for me last (this) year. There were two, both played great. Varkon, Joust, and Orbitor 1 are always special treats when you're lucky enough to get to play one.
i played Orbitor 1 and Tempest cabaret mostly.
did get a lot of time on Predator and Iron Maiden.
saw my first robocop there.
Quoted from Pdxmonkey:Will
AFMr be there?!?
image-361.jpgEd, you guys gonna have pink hats or is that just a tease on the site? Me and the kids have hats from the last two years, but Jennifer doesn't have a hat yet. 
*Edit* Apparently I'm supposed to edit this because she did get a hat, and I forgot.
Though honestly, I think the red AFM-ish TPF logo will look pretty cool on a pink hat, so I'm still asking if they will be available anyways.

Unfortunately no. We ordered 12 pink caps for the 2014 show, we sold 5, gave away 6 as prizes and we still have one (available in the TPF "Vault Edition" store).
One of the highlights of Pinball Expo in Chicago is taking a tour of the Stern pinball factory. Of course nothing can replace the awesomeness of visiting a pinball factory in person, but for those that can not attend Expo or have never been to Stern, TPF presents An Exclusive Visit to Stern Pinball! Enjoy!
