Ticketing

You can pre-purchase tickets to AVCon 2024 online at our Eventbrite, and you can also purchase tickets at the door at AVCon 2024. Eventbrite Australia is the only authorised ticket outlet for purchasing AVCon 2024 tickets online (booking fees may apply). Online sales will remain open during the Festival.

After you pre-purchase your ticket, the next step is to get your physical pass and lanyard. Physical passes can be picked up during the pre-registration pick-up period on Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. You can also redeem your friends’ passes as well as long as you have the receipt with the QR code. Pass pick-up location information will be avaliable closer to the date. Once you’re in the venue, please display your pass at all times, as our Invaders and the security will check up regularly.

Ticket purchases will be avaliable at the door on all days of the Festival. Ticketing booth and pre-registration pickup opening and closing times will be available closer to the date. However, we recommend avoiding disappointment by purchasing online before the event, as tickets are limited.

AVCon honours companion cards! Companion card tickets must be accompanied by an injunction with a paid ticket. Companion card holders must show their card on the day to validate their free ticket. Please contact us through our Contact Us web page or by emailing ticketing@avcon.org.au to secure your free ticket. 

Video Games

Our console tournaments and sign-up information will be available closer to the date. If you have a suggestion for a console tournament, please contact us through our Contact Us web page or by emailing games@avcon.org.au.
