Badges and Tickets for BR&WL-CON 2026 at Stafford Centre

BR&WL-CON is returning September 18-20, 2026, at the Stafford Centre in Southwest Houston! This exciting gaming convention celebrates America's 250th birthday with a "Freedom to Play Extravaganza," featuring board games, role-playing games, war-gaming, tournaments, vendors, and more.

To fully participate in the convention—whether playing scheduled games or browsing the vendor hall—every attendee needs a BR&WL-BADGE (often just called a badge or convention badge). This is your entry pass to the event.

Your complete BR&WL-BADGE package includes your convention lanyard and tickets for entry to the Stafford Centre.

How to Get Your BR&WL-BADGE

You have two main options for purchasing your badge:

Through the BR&WL-CON Tabletop.Events site (via a one stop shop at tabletop.events/conventions/brawl-con): This is the official convention registration platform. It handles event sign-ups, schedules, and badge sales directly tied to the con.
Via the Stafford Centre's online store (staffordcentre.com/tickets-events or their Etix-powered box office): Once verified, you'll be able to register for events through the BR&WL-CON's table-top event scheduling tool.

Key differences between the two purchase options:

Purchases through Tabletop.Events (the convention's preferred platform) offers more flexibility for refunds, transfers, or adjustments, depending on the con's policies. You're also able to immediately register for events.
Purchases through the Stafford Centre are non-refundable. This is an important consideration if your plans might change. It may also take up to 1 week for you to be able to register for events, to allow for verification.

Registering for Scheduled Events (Virtual Tickets)

Once you have your BR&WL-BADGE, you can sign up for specific scheduled games and events.

Use the Tabletop.Events platform (linked from brawlcon.com or directly at tabletop.events).
For each game or event you want to join, grab a virtual ticket (free or sometimes with a small fee, depending on the event).
This reserves your spot in advance, as many popular games fill up quickly.
Virtual tickets are tied to your badge registration, making check-in smooth at the event.

This system keeps things organized, ensures fair access to limited-seat games, and lets you plan your weekend around the sessions you most want to play.
