Do I need a TableTop.Events (TTE) account to purchase badges and/or tickets?
What is the difference between a badge and a ticket?
A badge is required to gain access to PeliCON. It allows you to be identified, to check games out of the Con library, to be automatically entered into prize drawings and giveaways, to check out and register for Play-to-Win games, to sign up for scheduled events and access the various areas of the convention venue.
A ticket is the term used to describe signing up for one of our hosted events. This could be a learn-to-play, a scheduled game session or tournament or any other Vendor-hosted event. Some tickets will be free of charge but most will have a small fee associated (typically between $1-10 based on the complexity and/or length of the game) that goes to the vendor running the event for their assistance with the Con. You are only allowed one ticket per event for each badge and there are certain other restrictions on tickets to prevent accidentally double-booking yourself or reserving all the seats in games to ensure you "win" a tournament.
Ticket costs, if any, will not be refunded if you choose to no-show a given game/event.
Badges/Tickets for friends
You are allowed to purchase badges for you and your friends on your TTE account. Please review the Friend system for purchasing and giving badges and tickets to your friends.
Please note: If your friends do not have TTE accounts, you will need to "buy" any tickets for attendee scheduled games for them and they will not be able to sign up through the TTE system to volunteer in the library.

Is the convention suitable for children?
YES! We want the entire family to enjoy the PeliCON and as such the convention is suitable for all ages, subject to their maturity level. We will strive to have games suitable for a large range of age groups in our game library however we cannot guarantee the abundance of games specifically aimed at children and it will be up to the parent's discretion as to whether their child(ren) are sufficiently capable of enjoying the games and events available.
Also, please note we do not have any on site childcare. Your children are your responsibility at all times and children must be accompanied by an adult AT ALL TIMES while at the convention.
May I bring my own games?
Will there be vendors at the convention?
How does the game library work?
Do you have a list of games in the game library?
Can I host a game or volunteer?
There will be a swap meet/game swap/flea market on the final day of the 'Con. We will update with date/time/location once we have those details.
There are no fees nor anything required to use this time to trade games to other folks, sell (person-to-person exchange; PeliCON DOES NOT oversee or guarantee any transactions that occur) or give away games as you see fit. We're providing you the space...the rest is up to you!
That said, we have a simple request: don't pull any shenanigans. If your game is missing pieces, tell the other party. Be up front on any dings, dents, rips, tears, scratches or cursed objects.
Other than that...have fun! Trade up (or down)! Sell your old, unused or overly abused games to make room for MOAR!!
PeliCON 2026 will be held in the Charles T. Doyle Convention Center | Texas City, TX . We will also be hosting events in the next door Nessler Center | Texas City, TX .
Is food and drink allowed in the venue? Yes, food and drink is allowed. We will also have a small concession stand for snacks and drinks.
Food trucks will be on site as well!
Who do I contact about a vendor booth?
Refunds for badges purchased on TTE can be refunded the full amount minus any associated fees (payment processing and TTE support) up until 8 May 2026. See HERE for refund instructions.
