A floor with a published price range
ThriftCon Dallas 2026 runs Saturday 7 November in Exhibit Hall B at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, 650 South Griffin Street. The organiser counts more than 120 vendors on each city floor. The venue page reads Event Starts TBA against the 10 a.m. general admission on the ticket page.
The FAQ puts the range plainly. The $5 to $10 racks sit out in force, and booths run bundle deals. The organiser also tells shoppers not to anticipate thrift store prices, because the stock took hours, weeks and years to source.
The about page carries the survey line. Most purchases fall into the $10 to $50 range, and some pieces start at $1.
Both online tiers are sold out
tickets.thriftcon.co listed two tiers on 22 October, both marked SOLD OUT. General admission at 10 a.m. was $19.00. Early admission at 9 a.m. was $40.00, and the first 100 people in the early line receive a free tote. Both prices include Texas sales tax.
The ticket page still says tickets are available all day at the door. Door tickets are general admission only, valid for 10 a.m. entry and a single day, and the organiser states they run slightly above the pre-sale price. No page prints the door figure.
Children under 13 enter free and need no ticket.
Working a 120-vendor hall
Walk the room in one direction and finish the loop before buying. A seller who watched a buyer pass reads the second pass differently.
Ask for a rack price with a number attached. The published low end is $5 to $10 a piece and the published middle is $10 to $50. A buyer after three pieces from one booth has a bundle, and the organiser names bundle deals as part of the offer.
Ask for a cash price on a stack of four. Ask whether the seller holds more stock in the bag. Vendors travel with pieces they keep off the table.
One bag per guest comes in for selling and trading, and only with a valid Pit Pass. Carts, tables, chairs and racks stay outside.
Parking at 650 South Griffin Street
The venue runs a garage at Memorial Drive and South Griffin Street at $20, with 1,200 spots. Lot C at 502 South Lamar Street is $17 with 170 spots. Both are first-come, first-served, priced per day and per entry, and neither allows in and out.
A buyer who parks once and stays inside the hall pays $17 or $20 for the day.
The booth ask, carried to the desk
hotelhaggle runs the mechanic a buyer runs at a booth. One form carries a price and a date. The platform sends the request to 50 or more hotels in the destination. Hotels answer inside 24 to 72 hours with rates and terms. Submission is free, the platform adds no markup, and the guest pays the property.
Its reach line reads 103,857 hotels across 46 states. Texas sits outside the four states on the seller-of-travel page: Florida, Hawaii, Iowa and Washington. That page carries a 22 October 2026 date.
Name the night, the room count and the figure the buyer will pay. A Saturday in November leaves a Dallas property a reason to answer.
What the pages leave open
The venue page prints Event Starts TBA against the 10 a.m. door, and no page prints a closing hour. The door price has no published figure. A buyer plans on the 10 a.m. entry and confirms the close on arrival.
