ArcaneCon 2026

Before you book

All ages may attend; ages 15 and under need a guardian age 18 or older. Online registration is closed, but the organizer explicitly offers in-person registration. Current door pricing is not stated.

Check the official page for current prices, availability, registration deadlines and what each pass includes. A general entry pass may not cover every activity. Price and professional eligibility are separate: free registration can still require industry credentials.

Decide what you want to play, trade or buy

Make a short wish list with preferred editions, condition and a spending ceiling. Bring a checklist for a collection rather than relying on memory. For playable activities, check the organizer’s schedule for any registration deadline or separately ticketed tournament.

Inspect before agreeing to a purchase

Ask the seller to describe condition and what is included. For cards and other collectibles, compare the item with its label and ask for a clear receipt. Store purchases in suitable sleeves, boxes or a protective case.

Leave time for discovery

Walk the floor once before committing your full budget, then return to priority vendors. Ask permission before handling displays, and check the event’s rules for attendee-to-attendee trading.

Getting there and moving around

Your listed destination is 33 Hawley St in Northampton, MA. Confirm the correct building, entrance, parking, public transport and accessibility arrangements with the venue and organizer.
