Railways Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Excellent. The event had grown out of the space available in the Bingo/ Housie room. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep... as per Railways post (with the information he grabbed from the cost section of https://pinfest.com.au/event-information/) you're a little early. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold online only via website (not available at the door) Available from end October. Social distancing strictly adhered to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold online only via website (not available at the door) Available from end October. Social distancing strictly adhered to. Could people theoretically buy a ticket for each session? Or would there be a limit on which sessions you can buy? Would be good to have 350 individual people come through rather than the same 70 in each session. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherRat Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Yes, buying a ticket to each session would be possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will be able to attend as many sessions as they like. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wouldn't want to miss out on a ticket because someone has bought them for all 5 sessions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sartana66 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Fair enough. Just wouldn't want to miss out on a ticket because someone has bought them for all 5 sessions. Last time I checked with the ticket department, we had a limit on the number of tickets per person per session, and each session has to be bought as a separate transaction. One sure way of getting in on a session is by bringing a game and that way you get to play on Saturday night which is reserved for contributors. Hint hint..... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has always been the best way, especially with this year with the Saturday night being strictly contributors only 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mort4321 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Just got me 4 tickets to the 1st session on Saturday really looking forward to it. Will there be any seller stalls setup or just machines? I would be interested in getting some new pinballs pop bumper LEDs and I am sure there are heaps of other random stuff I would probably buy including things for my man cave (garage). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t go to the trouble of producing 2020 T-shirts this year as only 350 people allowed. We will be selling merchandise left over from last year. We never have seller stalls at Pinfest as they take up space needed for pinballs. The large majority of attendees are general public not into the hobby on a collector level. We had seller stalls set up in 2013 and it was a complete flop. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
