    5. TooManyGames is an all-ages event, as such we ask that any vendors who make available the sale of adult merchandise (whether it be games, movies, cartoons, comics, etc…) keep it out of the view of children. If we are informed that you have adult merchandise out in the open where children have access you will be reminded ONCE about our adult materials policy. If there are any further complaints the material must then be packed away and will no longer be permitted to be sold. IF YOU SELL ANY ADULT MATERIAL TO ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CONVENTION WITHOUT A REFUND! Event staff will make the final determination of what is deemed appropriate and what is deemed adult material.
    6. The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center will be providing food and drink sales from their on-site concession room. The sale of food and drinks by vendors is permitted only for novelty or collectible items and not for consumption.

  4. Set up / Tear Down:  Vendors will be notified 1-2 weeks prior to event on load in times and load in policies.  Vendors are 100% responsible for their own setup and tear-down. The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center does not supply hand carts or other means to transport merchandise, please make sure you bring what you need to move your gear. You may customize your area as you see fit, adding shelving, displays, pipe and draping, etc… as long as it fits within your designated area and does not interfere with other surrounding vendors. Any extension cords which run outside your designated area must be taped to the floor to prevent tripping hazards. You may begin tear-down of your space when the show ends at 5PM on Sunday. All vendors must be out of the expo center by 8PM on Sunday.

  5. Advanced Shipments: The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center does not hold merchandise that has been shipped ahead. You are responsible for bringing all your own merchandise on the day of the event or making arrangements to ship your merchandise in advance to our decorator, General Exposition. For accepted vendors, you will receive details on how to ship items to the expo center using General Exposition.

  6. Weapons Policy: TooManyGames understands the needs for cosplayers to have character accurate weapons for their costumes and collectors to have new and interesting items. TooManyGames does allow weapon sales at the event. Both vendors and attendees have to follow the same weapon policy. No sharpened/live blades are permitted at the event (which includes swords, throwing stars, throwing cards, etc…), no chemically propelled guns (ie: real guns), no projectiles, or any other item which may be considered dangerous. When building your display please keep in mind that TooManyGames is an all ages event and children will be walking around the show, please keep dangerous items out of the reach of children. Airsoft guns are permitted for sale but are REQUIRED to have the painted orange safety tip on them. This is standard Pennsylvania law and anyone who does not follow this will be subject to removal from the show without a refund. Sale of the air canisters, projectiles, or ammunition for airsoft guns is prohibited. Following any weapon sale it is the responsibility of the vendor to inform the customer that weapons are not allowed to be opened in the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center. All weapons purchased by attendees must be placed in their vehicle or taken to their residence, hotel room, etc. All weapons must be packaged securely, boxes must be taped securely shut and blades must be properly wrapped. Copies of the weapon policy will be made available to any vendor selling weapons at the show. They must be prominently displayed for customers to read.
