    Me and 80spit will be up again from PA and will try to drag along at least 4-6 pins. I think we did 6 last year! I'm sure we can help unload pins on Thursday like last year.

    I don't usually like booking things so far in advance, but it's done now, so no backing out at this point

    The Australian invasion is on the way too. Hotel booked, flights in and out of Bradley booked. Even hired a car and will try this driving on the other side of the road so watch out! Wife and 3 kids in tow with me this time, and a few bottles of Australian Port to be consumed in the evenings - I think my last bottle lasted 6 minutes when I was in Texas.

    We need our pinside alias badges so I know who to avoid/sniff/kiss when I meet them.

    Leave room for Lobsta!

    Hey Gabe.
    Trying to order my passes, but the drop down menu for address doesn't believe overseas people will be attending. I can only choose usa or Canadian states.

    I looked into it and it seems to be working fine. When you click on the country area you can scroll through and choose. I tried it and seems to work fine. Let me know if you still have an issue. Thanks

    Is there any advantage to buying passes now vs. at the door?

    #130 8 years ago
    Quoted from mrgregb123:

    Is there any advantage to buying passes now vs. at the door?

    Yes...you get $10 of your 3 day pass till May 1st than it goes up. Also it helps the show determin how many shirts to order so everyone get the size they want. Thanks

    #131 8 years ago

    But if we can only go for one or two days there is no discount ahead of time?

    #132 8 years ago
    Quoted from mrgregb123:

    Their is only a discount on the 3 day pass. You can buy your other passes ahead of the time so you don't have to wait in line. Easy scan in your QR code and go!

    HOTEL AND TICKET UPDATE!

    I was just at the hotel and got an update. The hotel is 40% full as of today. So I suggest you reserve your room a.s.a.p. and don't get forced into one of the back up hotels. Keep in mind we have yet to make any announcements. Trust me when we start announcing who will be coming to the show people will want to travel to see them. Announcements will commence after the Texas pinball Festival has ended.

    Also our new web site and ticketing system is up and running. VIP 3 day passes are available at a $10 discount till May 1st than they go up to the regular price. With this pass it gives you access to the Friday after party and the free play room till 2am Friday and Saturday nights as well as Thursday 6pm till 12 midnight. www.pintasticnewengland.com

    Thanks Gabe

    Pintastic is proud to announce The 200 Foundation as one of our 2016 charity vendors/sponsors. These guys will be at the show doing good. Swing by and shake their hands!

    The 200 Foundation and One Mission Partner on Annual Raffle to Assist Those in Need

    The 200 Foundation is excited to announce our 2016 Annual Raffle.

    This year we have partnered with One Mission, the kids cancer support foundation.

    In partnership with One Mission we will be raffling a brand new Wizard of Oz pinball machine manufactured by Jersey Jack Pinball. Once you experience a Jersey Jack Pinball machine, you will understand the attention to detail, innovation and mechanical magic that they have captured in creating the Wizard of Oz.

    All proceeds will be split between The 200 Foundation and One Mission. On top of supporting The 200 Foundation and One Mission, both organizations have decided to donate a Wizard of Oz pinball machine to the Boys and Girls Club of Boston. This is the perfect example of community, caring and commitment at work.

    The raffle is limited to 500 tickets. Tickets will be available at all of The 200 Foundation’s 2016 annual events and One Mission’s Buzz Off for kids with pediatric cancer. More details will be released on the 200 Foundation’s website towards the end of the month.

    A special thank you to: Jack Guarnieri, Jen Guarnieri, Mike Daddona, Jr., Jersey Jack Pinball and Automated Services.

    About The 200 Foundation:

    The 200 Foundation was established in 1964 to assist those most in need. For the past 52 years The 200 Foundation has assisted countess organizations that focus on the basic needs of food, clothing, shelter and rehabilitation service. The 200 Foundation’s Board of Directors is 100% all volunteer based. For more information, please visit www.the200.org.

    About One Mission:

    One Mission is the kids’ cancer support foundation that puts the kids before the cancer by providing help, hope, and care to kids and families impacted by the disease. Rather than funding long-term solutions like cancer research, One Mission funds immediate relief initiatives that alleviate the relentless wrath cancer unleashes every single day while helping to bring happiness back into the kids’ world. One Mission’s programs and services lift the spirits of patients and their families, help the healing and recovery process, and make life more livable during treatment and hospitalization. One Mission was inspired by the founders’ Ashley and Ari Haseotes’ own journey with pediatric cancer. For more information, please visit www.onemission.org.

    Is there an official Pintastic show thread with more details?

    I will be in Boston area that week and thinking about extending travel plans to be able to attend the show on Friday and Saturday, but was not able to find a show thread.

    I have checked out the website but wanted to hear from people that went last year on what to expect.

    It was awesome. Lots of stuff to do, plenty of speaker sessions, lots of games, lots of vendors, a few different tournaments, raffles, kids activities, after party, plenty of opportunities to meet other enthusiasts...I was very impressed. Can't wait for this year's show

    #143 8 years ago

    I was finally weakening and thinking of going with someone...THEN I realized it was the weekend of the Monster Bash Convention...

    IMHO, single show threads are unwieldy. A better approach is to open the Events sub-forum (from the left side of the Forum "front page") and you'll see several threads for each of the shows. Pintastic has buying/selling, seminars, tournaments, and of course a free-play room for Northeasterners to show off their games. These may be the subjects of separate threads. You can use the Forum Search feature to look for "Topics" containing the word "Pintastic" and get plenty of info.
