Tickets were never available for sale via AA.  It's always been the case that tickets be purchased via the pinball expo website.   There has been no real tangible imformation posted on AA up until very recently regarding tickets, promoting etc of the expo.  The standard response was,  check the website..

Really? Nothing like what I read for the last few months.

Anyway,  no one is excluded..  Do you think there is going to be a disclaimer on the door stating that if your affiliated witg AP, that you're not welcome.?  Not the case..  Get along, buy a ticket,  build some bridges and have a bit of fun.   We're not getting any younger.

A partially sensible comment clothed in the usual stupidity. No-one is saying anyone is excluded. The issue is and was ticket availability, which has become public only in the last couple of weeks. Perhaps you should read some of the thread first instead of posting blind.
