An update to our kids ticket prices

From our next event, Kids tickets will move from £8 to £12.

Our pricing has stayed the same for nearly three years. In that time, Base Arcade has grown massively — more arcade machines, more consoles, more pinball, and more to explore in every session.

As we’ve expanded, so have the costs behind the scenes. More hardware means more maintenance. More unique machines mean specialist parts. Add logistics, transport and running costs on top — and it all adds up.

We didn’t want to increase adult ticket pricing, and we didn’t want to raise merch prices. Adjusting the kids ticket felt like the most balanced way to reflect how far Base Arcade has come, while continuing to invest in making it even better.

At £12 for a 4-hour session, that’s still just £3 per hour for unlimited arcade, console and pinball play.

Your support genuinely means everything to us. Every ticket helps us maintain, restore and grow the collection so we can keep building something special here in Belfast.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

Back to some photos of the arcade you say?

Set those reminders, round up the troops and we’ll hit your inbox with the link by 8pm.

Come join us for food, drinks 🍻, quality arcade machines, pinball and consoles, in a venue that’s quite frankly, perfect for it.

Talk to you tomorrow, and hopefully see you in the arcade! 🕹️
