Pintastic Pinball & Game Room Expo

According to the organiser, Pintastic runs from Thursday 8 to Sunday 11 April 2027 at the Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel, 181 Boston Post Road West (U.S. Route 20), Marlborough, Massachusetts. The expo is inside the hotel, not the Trade Center. TradeShowBuzz lists the same venue and the start date of 8 April, and an end date of 10 April, because Sunday is limited to existing pass holders.

According to the organiser, pass sales open on 1 November 2026 at 12:01 AM Eastern. Standard day passes include fees and are priced at USD $27.69 for Thursday, USD $43.61 for Friday and USD $48.79 for Saturday, with kids aged 5 to 11 priced at USD $10.74, USD $16.31 and USD $18.38. Under 5 attend free. Friday and Saturday evening admission is priced at USD $33.06 and USD $38.24. The 4-Day Premium adult pass is priced at USD $201.20. Prices may be higher at the door.

Free Play runs 6 PM to 2 AM on Thursday, and 11 AM to 2 AM on Friday and Saturday, with the Vendor Hall open 11 AM to 8 PM on Friday and Saturday. Eligible passes get entry at 10 AM. There are no Sunday ticket sales or walk-up admission. Sunday activities need an existing eligible pass and end at 11 AM.

Free Play rooms are free with your paid admission, apart from some charity and pindemption tournament games. The organiser lists live music included with admission: Magnificent Danger on Friday 9 April and Everybody Wants Some, a Van Halen tribute, on Saturday 10 April, both 9 PM to midnight. Thursday karaoke is at 8 PM in the hotel bar. The game list, guests, seminars and tournaments were marked coming soon when we read the site.

Free parking is available onsite at the Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel, which is the host hotel and the expo venue. The organiser also lists Hampton Inn Boston Marlborough and Embassy Suites by Hilton as partner hotels with group booking links, with a booking deadline of 8 March 2027 at 11:59 PM. Hotel rooms and expo admission are bought separately, and reservations go directly to the hotel.

The organiser's 2027 exhibitors page said the lineup will be announced as exhibitors and sponsors are confirmed, and links to exhibitor registration and sponsorship. Questions on passes, exhibitors, sponsorship, tournaments, media or volunteering go through the contact form on the organiser's website. The organiser also invites people to bring a working game, registered online on its Bring a Game page.
