TFNation 2025 will be Europe's largest Transformers convention... ever!
In this post, we'll provide a little information to assist you ahead of the event.
Are there any tickets left?
Yes! At the time of writing, we still have availability for Friday (which is a panel-only day with no Trader Hall or Guests area) and Sunday (which includes the Trader Hall and Guest areas).
We also have limited spaces remaining for our Admit ONE Friday night cinematic experience, and for our Legend Passes.
All types of Saturday ticket (Early Access, General Access and ClubCon) have sold out.
Will you release any more Saturday tickets?
Not on our website, no.
Will there be any "on the door" Saturday tickets?
This will depend entirely on venue occupancy. Typically, not all of our attendees arrive at once, and they don't all stay for the entire weekend either.
On Saturday morning, which is typically our busiest period, we will assess the flow of people, before deciding whether we have capacity to welcome "on the door" attendees. We will not make this decision until at least midday on Saturday, which is traditionally when our busiest period starts to quieten.
If we are in a position to welcome more TFNationals after midday, we'll make an announcement on our social media channels.
Will all of the toys sell out if I don't arrive early?
Our trader hall is massive and the amount of Transformers on offer is too. So much so that some of our longest-standing traders, like the ever-popular Toy-Fu, have announced they'll be restocking throughout Saturday, and also for Sunday.
So, no matter what time you arrive, you never know what you might find at TFNation!
Will I have to wait in a queue?
Queues are an inevitable part of conventions - but how long you'll need to wait will ultimately come down to how many attendees arrive at once.
In our experience, whilst Saturday morning is typically very busy, we find year on year that most attendees do not all arrive at the same time. This allows us to monitor the flow of people and grant access to the Trader Hall at a safe and sensible speed.
Like all rooms, even the mighty Monarch Hall has an upper capacity. If we hit that at any point, we will take a step back before allowing more of you to enter, when it is safe to do so. If this happens then of course, this could result in a delay to your entry.
We all love the thrill of the trader hall, but we ask you to please be kind to our crew and remember, if they do ask you to wait, it is entirely for your own safety and comfort, as do our best to look after such a large number of people - thank you for your understanding.
What can I do to avoid queues?
Whilst our friendly and dedicated team will be on hand to keep queues moving quickly, there are certainly some things you can also do to look after yourself.
- You don't need to wait til Saturday morning to pick up your wristbands. Registration will be open in the Warwick Room from 10am on Friday, and you can pick up your wristbands for all days at this time - even if you are not attending on Friday - to avoid you having to register on repeat days.
- On Saturday, our Trader Hall opens to Early Access attendees at 9:45am and then to General Access attendees from 10:45am. For attendees who dislike queues, it's advisable to delay your entry until about midday on Saturday, until that initial busy period has quietened a little. There will still be plenty of toys, and you'll avoid the busiest period.
- Our entertainment segment "avoid the rush" is a great excuse to spend time in our panel room, until the queues have quietened down.
- If you require extra assistance with queuing, please make this known to our Registration Team when you check in and pick up your wristbands.
- From midday on Saturday, we'll also be Transforming the Warwick (Registration) into a Chill Out Area, for those who wish to take a break from the convention floor. (Please try not to be too loud in there!)
The best part of TFNation is absolutely the people - so 2025's record turn out will give us the opportunity to meet more of you than ever before! If we all take care of ourselves and each other, we're sure everybody will have a fantastic time at TFNation!
