Hey everyone,
We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes on the 2026 Midwest Gaming Classic, and I figure it’s time to share some of them with you! First up, tickets are on sale and we’ve had a great response already, with our VIG tickets having already sold more than double than what they did at this time last year! That’s incredible, and a huge thank you to everyone who has purchased them already, they’re helping us to look into purchasing some new exciting stuff for the show!
If you want to get your tickets now, head to https://www.
We have also recently added some new hotels to the page, and are working to add more options!
Another thing that has been really helpful, we’ve teamed up with some awesome places around town to put out games for people to play all year long! If you own a business or know of any that would like quality games that are well cared for and fun to play, tell them to reach out to us! You can literally hit reply to this email to talk with me directly!
Speaking of that, tomorrow night Blackbird Bar is having their regularly monthly pinball tournament! Show up by 6pm to enter this casual super fun tournament, and play on some of our games! Right now, our Blackbird Bar line up includes Dungeons and Dragons Pro, Deadpool Pro, Stranger Things Pro, the Shadow and Cactus Canyon! Blackbird Bar is located at 3007 S. Kinnickinnic Ave!
If you’re looking for more pinball to play, we’ve recently added a Galactic Tank Force and King Kong Premium to our friends at Third Street Market Hall!
Know that any time you find one of our games on location, if you play it, that is directly helping to benefit the show. We use the money those games make so that we can maintain and repair all of our games, get new things to share (and I’ve got my eyes on two big things that we are hoping to be able to get this year!), and keep things going for next year!
Oh, and finally… if you know a vendor who might want to sell at our show, or if you are a vendor who might want to sell at our show, you should apply right now! Our vendor hall is filling up faster than it ever has before!
Okay, that’s it for now! More to come sooner than later I hope!!
