Admission to the UK Pinball Show costs £10 (per day) or £17 (whole weekend). The first child is free per paying adult. Extra children (under 16) are £2.50 (day) & £5 (weekend). Buying your ticket early helps with the costs of the event.

This year Europe's biggest pinball tournament comes to the UK as it hosts the European Pinball Championship 2009. Details are awaiting confirmation but it is expected qualifying will take place Friday and Saturday with the final rounds on Sunday to crown the Champion of Europe.

Entry is provisionally £10 per person and four bonus qualifying places for the following weekend's IFPA World Pinball Championship are also up for grabs at the EPC, so don't miss out on your chance to play with the best in the world.

Alongside the EPC will be the Country Competition for national teams of four to bring glory to their country.

Registration to secure your place is required for both these tournaments. An announcement will be made here and in various pinball forums in advance of registration opening.

Not only that but there will also be a kids tournament and the return of the Classic tournament on Sunday giving you plenty of chances to win.

The UK Pinball Show dinner & awards evening takes place at the Northampton Marriott on Saturday 25th July. Pinball designer Steve Ritchie is our guest of honour and speaker for the evening. Dinner is £40 and must be pre-booked as places are limited. Awards are presented for the best machines at the show and new inductees to the UK Pinball Hall of Fame will be announced.

There is a special rate for UK Pinball Show visitors who choose to stay at the Marriott of £68.51 per room per night. This must be booked with the hotel directly. The Marriott is 3 miles from the UK Pinball show venue. You should be able to catch a ride with some of the friendly UK pinball guys between the hotel & show each day, so make yourself known (we'll be in the hotel bar when not at the show!). There are other hotels which are closer to the venue including the Ibis & Park Inn.

You can Paypal nick@pinsanon.co.uk the cost of your tickets and dinner if required. All tournament fees will be payable separately, either with pre-registration or at the show.

We look forward to welcoming you to the UK in July for three fabulous days of pinball.
