Story briefStern Pinball
Stern publishes the practical limits for its All-Access factory-tour benefit
Stern Pinball's July 7 Stern of the Union address pointed All-Access members to factory-tour reservations, and the current official shop page supplies the useful limits. The benefit requires a paid All-Access membership and includes one complimentary factory tour per year for the member and one guest. Stern lists the tour as one hour and says tours are offered most Thursdays. An additional guest or an additional tour is listed at $25 per person. Reservations depend on the dates available through Stern's shop, so the membership benefit should not be treated as a guaranteed slot on a particular travel day. Check the live calendar and booking requirements before arranging transportation or lodging.
The concrete annual limit makes the benefit easier to value. It is most useful for an existing All-Access member who can reach Stern's facility on an available Thursday. The tour alone is a weaker reason to subscribe if travel timing or an open reservation cannot be confirmed.
