What is includedTwo ways to be there
Visiting, or bringing a table?
Most people come to hunt cards for a weekend. Others come to sell, trade from their own table or put their brand in front of 25,000 collectors. Both start here.
For visitors
Come and hunt
One ticket opens the whole hall – hundreds of tables, live breaks, on-site grading and guest signings. Nothing inside costs extra admission.
- Day ticket or weekend pass – from 20,00 €
- Children up to 12 go free – booked along with your own ticket
- Collectors Club – early entry, lounge and Trading Night
For tables and partners
Come and sell
Private collectors clear out their doubles, shops meet their customers face to face, and brands reach a room full of people who already care.
- Collector tables – for private sellers, 120 x 80 cm
- Commercial tables – for shops and dealers
- Partner areas – own stand, branding and activations
Press and creators: accreditation runs through press and media.
