With Cirqus Voltaire, we’ve rolled out a new way to recognize and certify your pinball machine purchase. American Pinball ONLY sells through official distributors / dealers. Each dealer received a specific allocation of units (for example 10 Ringmasters and 10 Classics). 

When you reserve a spot with a dealer, they will mail you an ALLOCATION TICKET that is serialized (individually numbered). This allocation ticket recognizes your purchase as official with the dealer. With this ticket you know that you are in ownership of an official allocation slot. 

If you ultimately sell your deposit to another person, you just need to mail them your ALLOCATION TICKET and also let your distributor know. If for some reason you have lost your ticket, you can contact your distributor and they will contact American Pinball to send you a new allocation ticket.

Once you receive your machine, you are welcome to affix it to the back of our machine (it is also a sticker!) or display it as you wish.

Allocation tickets work the same for the Ringmaster and Classic Edition machines, but the design and serialization is unique for each. 

Our primary goal in this program is to help dealers avoid scenarios where they are over-sold, and protect customers from having a deposit on an unallocated pinball machine. Its purpose is not to restrict resale in any way.

BRING YOUR TICKET TO PINBALL EXPO 2026 (October 15-17th, Schaumburg, IL) TO GET A FREE GIFT AT OUR BOOTH!
