But SpadesCon is about more than the cards. It’s a celebration of culture, community, and connection, where players and enthusiasts from across the country come together to compete, mix, mingle, and build lasting relationships. Different cities, different backgrounds, different traditions—all united by a shared passion for the game.
Now it’s your turn! Bring your game, represent your city, connect with new faces, and experience a weekend where competition meets culture and connections go beyond the cards. Don’t just hear about SpadesCon—be part of it. Pull up, take your seat, and let’s play!

Golden Ticket Qualifiers
A Golden Ticket Qualifier is an official Spades Bowl tournament where teams compete to earn their way to the Spades Bowl Championships at SpadesCon in Las Vegas. A limited number of Golden Ticket Qualifiers will be held for each championship (JJDD & Ace High), with the winning team securing one of the coveted spots in the 64-team championship field. Golden Ticket winners receive free championship entry, round-trip travel, hotel accommodations, and a cash prize making it the ultimate way to earn your seat at the table. The remaining championship spots will be available through limited direct-entry releases, but Golden Ticket teams don’t buy their way in—they win their way in.
Already secured your spot? If you purchase a Spades Bowl Championship entry and later win an official Golden Ticket Qualifier, your previously purchased championship entry fee will be fully refunded.
