Toronto Game Expo returns to the Better Living Centre at Exhibition Place on Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8, 2026. The organizer advertises 600+ exhibitor tables and 100+ gaming experiences, including retro and modern console play, arcade machines, trading cards, Artist Alley, indie games, cosplay and live stage programming. Those table and experience counts are organizer-reported, not an independently audited attendance or vendor roster. Hours and entry are different: Saturday public hours are 10:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. and Sunday 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Super VIP entry begins at 9:30 a.m.; VIP and Early Entry begin at 10:00 a.m.; General Admission begins at 11:00 a.m. The Kids Pass follows the accompanying adult ticket’s entry time. Ticket prices currently displayed by the organizer include Saturday single-day General Admission at $37, Sunday single-day General Admission at $30, and a General Admission weekend pass at $50; the listed prices rise to $42, $35 and $60 respectively on November 6. Weekend VIP is $90 before the increase and $100 after; single-day VIP is $62 Saturday / $55 Sunday before the increase, then $67 / $60. Super VIP weekend is $200. The $10 Kids Pass is for ages 4–10 for the weekend; children under four are free. A General Admission four-pack is listed at $180 for the weekend, $135 Saturday or $110 Sunday, with higher prices posted after November 6. Super VIP includes 9:30 a.m. exhibitor-floor access, an earlier 9:00 a.m. waiting area and listed perks; VIP includes 10:00 a.m. entry and its own merchandise/giveaway perks. Prices appear with a dollar sign but the pages do not clearly identify the currency; final checkout fees, taxes and ticket inventory were not independently confirmed. The organizer advertises an EB Games Kids Zone but does not publish broader supervision or game-by-game age-rating rules in the reviewed sources. Patricia Summersett is confirmed as a guest; the organizer identifies her as the voice of Princess Zelda and advertises autographs, photo opportunities and live panels. Specific appearance times and current photo/autograph package prices were not confirmed. The event also advertises cosplay guests and its Cosplay Stars competition, but the detailed stage schedule and competition rules were not available in the reviewed schedule source. Free-play arcade and console areas and the Indie Developer Showcase are advertised as included with admission. Convention admission is not free. Tournament entry is a separate add-on: the organizer lists Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and standard Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournaments at $10, with a $5 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe division for players 12 and under. Current ticket checkout and the tournament listing differ on the days for some brackets, so confirm the bracket on the linked registration page; exact start times were not confirmed. Other announced paid add-ons include Ghost GiRL’s Tiny Tavern at $20 per Sunday session (1:30–2:30 p.m. or 3:00–4:00 p.m.), Proxy Party card-making workshops at $35 per session (multiple two-hour sessions Saturday and Sunday), and the Café Social for game developers at $15 on Sunday from 9:30–11:00 a.m. Admission to the expo is also required. Optional giveaway bundles are listed at $5, $10, $20 and $50. Session inventory can change; optional vendor purchases, photo/autograph packages and other limited experiences may cost extra. The event address is 195 Princes’ Blvd, Toronto, ON. The organizer recommends advance ticket purchase, says door tickets are available, and allows re-entry: weekend-pass holders use their event badge/lanyard; other guests receive a hand stamp. Its FAQ says most guests spend 4–6 hours, on-site parking is paid, and the venue is accessible by TTC and GO. Coat check is listed at $4.50 per item. An Access 2 cardholder may bring one support person at no charge while the cardholder pays admission, according to the organizer’s FAQ. Confirm ticket prices, any add-on inventory, entry time for your pass and the final schedule with the organizer before travelling. Specific 2026 exhibitor names, individual stage appearances and tournament start times were not confirmed by the reviewed current sources.
