    Should have the block up for the new Four Points in a few days. They are offering a great rate this year. Significant upgrades have been done to this hotel according to management.

    Holiday inn (formally Wingate) and Holiday inn Express blocks are up in the lodging section of Pinfest site. Working on a couple others as well.

    Quoted from djreddog:

    Ivan - any updates on the 4 points room block?

    Yes it is up on our site. They are offering a great rate of $99. I suggest that everyone that wants to stay there book soon. I pretty sure they will sell out. I’m keeping an eye on it so I can request an expansion of the block.

    #21 4 years ago
    Quoted from djreddog:

    It’s sold out.

    I will see about expanding that tomorrow. I’ll report back what they’ve done.

    You could try calling. They did say that they would expand the block. I’ll have more details tomorrow.

    #24 4 years ago

    Four points will have our block expanded by 12 noon today if not earlier. They will continue to expand on a per need basis. Feel free to let me know if you can’t book due to sellout.

    There our other hotels on our lodging page as well. The former Gateway is now a full service Holiday Inn.

    Days Inn at the airport has adjusted for the new date. They are on our website and they maintained the price. We are adding Allentown Park hotel and the Holiday Inn both in Breinigsville, pa. They are both about 10 minutes from the show. They are not on our site yet. Allentown Park is offering $85 per night and Holiday inn is offering $119.

    Four points claim to be sold out for the new date. This could change as time goes on. There is a large lacrosse event going on the same weekend at Lehigh.

    Quoted from Kawydud:

    surprised it is the second weekend of May, figured it would be the friday the 30th and may the 1st.

    It could be provided the space is available. The show typically is the first Friday and Saturday of May. I’d prefer 30th and 1st. I also need to check if other shows go on that weekend. I’ll look into it.

    #92 3 years ago
    Quoted from Hammerhead:

    Please move it to the weekend before Mother's Day. I'm already in the doghouse for going to a pinball show on the weekend, don't need to make it worse by skipping out on Mother's Day too

    I will if I can bro. I answer to a higher power, the venue manager. I seem to think I compete with a gun show which is as big and all weekend. They don’t like Mother’s Day weekend either.

    It’s confirmed and the date is locked provided that conditions allow. We just haven’t updated the site yet.

    Days Inn Airport and Sheraton Four Points are on our lodging page. We will also have Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express and Hilton Garden Airpot next week. We’re waiting on links. Will likely get a few more as well.

    Quoted from tomdrum:

    I'm spending two nights in Allentown as a 1st time vendor. Can any locals recommend the best restaurant for seafood? Not Red Lobster style, but local joints? Also on night #2 a place with great Buffalo chicken wings, again not a chain.

    Henry’s salt of the sea and Fairgrounds Hotel are supposed great sea food places. Both are walking distance from the show. I haven’t tried either but plane on it. I’ve heard plenty about Henry’s.

    FYI Days inn has set up a block. We are waiting on a link but you can call the hotel until this matter is resolved. They are offering 105/110 a night or something in that range for King or double bed. It’s 10 to 15 minutes from the show by highway mostly.

    We will have our others as well as soon as we can.

    Days Hotel Allentown Airport/Lehigh Valley
    3400 Airport Rd, Allentown, PA 18109
    Hotel Main: 610-266-1000
    Call direct and ask for the PINFEST block rate.

    Checked this morning and Four Points still has rooms. I’m hopeful that we have the link up on our site later today. You can call in and ask for the Pinfest 2022 block rate.

    Quoted from Irishbastard:

    What will they change the price to? When I looked, it was basically the same price as the Renaissance...which is beyond stupid.

    $139 is the Holiday Inn Rate for this year. The contract will be signed tomorrow. The link will be up when my guy can get it done. Details about calling in here tomorrow.

    Quoted from Buckaroo:

    Put your reservation in at Holiday Inn if you want to stay there. They will change the rate once the block is confirmed. Some people already have done this including me. Just mention Pinfest. I spoke to the person in charge this morning and this is what they told me. Hope to see everybody at this great show.

    I was told the same today.

    #266 2 years ago

    Official announcement!

    Quoted from Hammerhead:

    Looks like the Pinfest sponsored rates for Days Inn and Four Points Sheraton are now live, nothing yet for Holiday Inn.

    I’ll look into that. It’s supposed to be a working link. It’s what they gave us.
