I’m happy to announce that we have finally made a deal with the International Centre in Mississauga (Toronto) to have our show on May 15 & 16 2010. We are still in the early stages of planning.

This will be a much bigger show than the Gameroom Shows we had in 2001, 2002 and 2004. This will be a full two day show (Saturday & Sunday) with a Friday move-in. We will also have Seminars, clinics, a ton of games on free play, an IFPA sanctioned Pinball Tournament and lots, lots more.

We are currently building a new website with much more information but you can check out our current one at:

http://www.torontopinballshow.com/

Why am I telling you this before the new website is ready? Because I would also like to invite you to see us at the Hobby Show / Great Canadian Game Show this weekend November 6,7 & 8 at the International Centre. We will be running a Pinball Tournament and bit of a mini pinball show. The Tournament will be casual and prizes will be awarded every three hours on Eight machines. There will be over 20 pinball & arcade machines. All games will be $1 to play. Most of the games will also be available for sale!

Hobby Show:
http://thehobbyshow.com/Hobby_Show.html

As more details become available for our Show in the spring I will post updates. If you are interested in becoming a vendor or sponsor or have any questions about either show please email me.

Thanks and see you at the show(s)!

Hi Guys,

There will not be parts sales, just games. There will be many EMs , Vids and older and newer pins.

The show organizer changed the format of the tournament, there will not be prizes every 3 hours, there will be 8 trophies given out for 8 machines over the 3 days and a grand champion crowned after playoffs on Sunday! More details at the show.

Sorry for the confusion!

Do you mean no parts at the Hobby Show (preview) or the Gameroom show (May)?

Any chance of a list of the pinballs for sale for those of us far enough away to not be able to just "pop" down to the show? Altho the right title could get me to hop in the car......

Thanks

For the show in May.

How much for a booth, how large is the booth and do you have to be a business to register?  Is it all inside?  In past years what was the average attendance?

And how much for a booth with or without tables and power?

Thanks for the replies!

The games at the hobby show are set to pay for play (.50 to $1 per play depending on how many tokens you buy)
90% of the machines are for sale.

We will have vendor info on the Pinball Show soon.
You do not have to be a business to get a booth.
You will also be able to bring in games for sale without a booth if you put them in our free play area.
It will all be indoors in hall 4 in the International Centre.
Our past shows were smaller (200 - 400 attendees in a community centre) this will be a much bigger two day show.
More details will be posted soon!

Thanks again,

Nick Angel
