TCGCON Versailles: Pokémon and One Piece get their own trading card show in January

TCGCON Versailles brings together Pokémon and One Piece card game fans on Sunday, January 10, 2027, at Salle Mazarin in the Palais des Congrès. The booths open to the public at 9 a.m., with access from 8 a.m. for Pass Collector holders.

Missing a card in your binder? TCGCON Versailles, organized by Noésis Software Technologies, will bring together collectors, players and families at the Palais des Congrès de Versailles, in the Yvelines département, on Sunday, January 10, 2027. From 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., the Salle Mazarin will host specialist exhibitors, with Pokémon and One Piece cards at the heart of the event. The idea, according to the organizers’ press release, is to let visitors browse the stands, talk with the professionals in attendance and plan their purchases, whether they’re looking for their first binder or adding to an already substantial collection.

For the uninitiated, the acronym TCG comes from the English Trading Card Game, or collectible card game. Some people are looking for cards to build their deck; others are drawn to an illustration or a character they’re attached to. The convention aims to bring these different approaches to collecting together. According to the organizers, individual cards and collectible products will take center stage at the booths, giving visitors the option to focus their search or take their time browsing what’s on offer.

Pokémon and One Piece: from the first binder to more advanced collections

The event also aims to make room for the stories these cards carry. In its press release, TCGCON evokes the memory of a game, a favorite character or a passion that began in childhood. It’s an angle that will no doubt resonate with parents whose children have started filling binders of their own. Families are among the audiences the event hopes to attract, with a chance to get acquainted with collectible card games and talk about them across generations.

The details of the booths and activities are still to be announced. The organizers say that the exhibitor list and program information are being published gradually on the TCGCON website. For now, the announcement mainly highlights opportunities to meet exhibitors and shop. It does not mention any tournaments or autograph sessions, so these are not part of the confirmed program based on the information provided.

What are the ticket prices for TCGCON at the Versailles Convention Centre?

As for ticket prices, the adult rate is €12 online and €15 at the door. Admission costs €6 for children aged 9 to 14. Children aged 0 to 8 get in free, provided they have a ticket issued in their name. The convention takes place at 10 rue de la Chancellerie, in Versailles, and is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

A €49 Collector Pass is also available. According to the announcement, it includes early entry from 8 a.m., an event goodie bag, a playmat, a dedicated welcome desk and cloakroom access. Information and tickets are available on the TCGCON website. For this day in Versailles, the challenge may be less about filling an entire binder than finding the card you’ve had in mind for a long time.
