Texas Pinball Festival

About the Event

Ever wonder how this show has become one of if not the BEST pinball show in the world? It takes collectors who bring their machines, exhibitors who sell their products, and guests who come to enjoy our hobby. It is also a lot of work. In order to make sure the show is a fantastic time for everyone, we have a team of staff and volunteers that give up their game playing time to help out in the registration area, the gift shop, our back door check-in and check-out, and the seminar room. We also have people who help out with other tasks that just need to get done like door watching.

Interested in being a part of the volunteer team? We have sign-ups for each location we need help in. Just choose a sign-up link and grab a slot. For every 2 hours of work you perform, you get a $15 credit towards food and merchandise. Want this years challenge coin? That is 2 hours of work. How about the show T-Shirt? Only 4 hours of work. If you are hungry, we will give you a voucher for $15 worth of food that can be used at the food trucks or the in-house food that the convention center sells.

The TPF is YOUR show, give some time to help it continue to be the BEST show (our opinion of course)! Donate your time today.
