Ottawa Pinball Show ticket prices increase after August 12
Pinball Medics says the five-day Ottawa Pinball Show will run August 26-30 at Experience Social, 250 Greenbank Road in Ottawa. The organizer lists approximately 120 machines spanning pre-war games, classics, current releases, arcade video games, and IFPA-sanctioned competition. Early-bird pricing ends after August 12: one day is $25 before the increase, Saturday-Sunday is $40, Friday-Sunday is $50, and all five days are $60. The listed prices include HST.
The useful deadline is August 12, not the opening-day countdown. A full-event pass rises by $15 after that date, while the one-day and weekend options each rise by $5 or $10. The machine count and programming are organizer-published plans, not a guarantee that every listed game or session will be available at every hour. Buy before August 12 if the announced ticket savings matter to your trip.
What to decide before August 12
The organizer lists the show for Wednesday, August 26 through Sunday, August 30, 2026. Announced admission before the August 12 increase is $25 for one day, $40 for Saturday-Sunday, $50 for Friday-Sunday, or $60 for all five days; HST is included. The venue also lists a mandatory $2 coat or bag check and restrictions on outside drinks and full meals.
Who gets the most from the show: The event combines unlimited play, current-production demos, historical machines, tournaments, repair demonstrations, seminars, parts pickup, and machines offered for sale. That makes the multi-day passes more relevant to tournament players and buyers than to visitors planning a short casual stop.
