In addition to fame and glory, the winners can look forward to many great prizes and goodies provided by our partners and sponsors. More details will be announced closer to the event.
Arrival and parking
The tournament will take place on the 5th floor of Hostel JO&JOE Vienna. With beautiful views, plenty of space, and a great selection of food and drinks, it's a wonderful place to play pinball.
Getting there by public transport couldn't be easier. Located right by Vienna's Westbahnhof, both the subway and tram lines stop directly outside the door.
For those arriving by car, there are free public parking spaces on Saturdays and Sundays (watch out for exceptions). On Fridays, the short-term parking zone applies until 10 PM.
Not far from the hostel, there is a parking garage that has a partnership with the hostel, making it more affordable for overnight guests.
