Thinking about bringing a game for the first time this year. I see on the website that Thursday is a setup day. Are all the free play games brought in on this day? Is it possible to setup a game on Friday morning before the show officially opens at 12pm?

Following up on this question since I don’t believe I saw a response.
Is it possible to bring a free play game for Friday only? If so, how early on Friday can you get into the building to set it up? Does the early withdraw fee apply if you pull it out that night?
Quoted from slochar:You can get into the hall 2 hours before opening usually to set up a freeplay game. You can remove the free play game if you want it there for Friday only after whatever the cutoff time is for that day (usually 2 hours before show close).
The times have changed year to year but this has been the way it's been for a long time as not everyone can get up there Thursday, and not everyone wants to keep their games there for both days. For instance, if you bring a free play game for sale and it sells on Friday, the buyer can remove it that day with no fee. You won't be able to get in the next day for free but that makes sense since your game isn't there anymore.
Thanks for the tips!! Would be great to have this kind of info on the website. I recognize many people have been bringing games for years but first timers tend to have more questions than answers.

Looking for the advice of experienced EM guys who have brought games to this show. Is it necessary to high tap?

Quoted from 80spit:I'm probably bringing 5 pins all for sale but am not listing them and doing the parking lot deals, this is what will kill the show, way to many parking lot deals lately. I want to see my pins being enjoyed by all
This. And also, there’s the strategy that I think many people follow which is just to show up with a game and not pre-advertise it. Sometimes first come, first served is the best policy and avoids all the tire kickers, no shows and managing the list of potential “buyers”. Also takes the burden off you as the seller in case you get in a last minute bind.
I think it’s better for buyers and sellers this way.

Quoted from cooke:I'm looking to upgrade my Team One backglass. Mine is not terrible, but if anyone has one out there that is basically a 9+, I'd definitely be interested. Thanks!

You need to talk to @pinhead52.
Quoted from DropTarget:Hi all,
Does anyone know (Ivan? Yes, I know you're busy today)) how the machines will be spaced out this year? I'm bringing someone who is concerned about the congestion.
Thanks
I would assume normal pinball machine spacing and larger crowds than the Fall 2021 show.
Enjoyed the show today. It seemed like this year the games skewed more towards modern/SS games. Although there were a few nice EMs to play. Prices overall seemed fair. Crowds were up compared to last Fall. Nice to see a return to form.

I wish someone who was wearing a mask at the show could honestly tell us if they smelled anything. Seems like a great experiment.
Quoted from Scotty_K:Yeah I was wearing a mask, and I could smell everything (unfortunately).
Welp.
