Ticketing
Gold Pass tickets are our limited and premium tickets which unlock a variety of perks such as limited merchandise, priority entry, and more! Our Gold Pass tickets are now live on our official online ticket portal here. Please not that these tickets are limited and aren’t purchasable at the door!
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 leading up to the Festival and all day Saturday and Sunday. You can also redeem your friends’ passes if you have the receipt with the QR code. Pass pick-up location information will be available closer to the date. Once you’re in the venue, please display your pass at all times, as our volunteers and security guards will check-up regularly.
There will be a limited number of tickets available to purchase at the door; however, once these are gone, we won’t be able to sell any more on the day. After a sell-out AVCon 2024, we highly recommend purchasing them prior to the weekend to avoid missing out.
AVCon honours companion cards! Companion card tickets must be accompanied 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.
Volunteering
We’re always looking for passionate volunteers to help with different parts of the Festival. You can check out our Get Involved page here for the latest opportunities.
Yep! AVCon is entirely and utterly volunteer-operated, from the our president and planning committee, to our on the day volunteers. Team AVCon is built up of passionate fans who have attended, volunteered and contributed to dozens of similar events over the past 20 years.
Since 2002, AVCon has been a passion project of dedicated geeks with a flair for creativity, organisation and business. The elected members of our elect and committee come from a diverse range of ages, backgrounds and professional experiences. What connects us together is our unwavering love of the South Australian anime and gaming scene and respective communities – with our ultimate goal to provide these communities a local and accessible event that rivals in quality to interstate and international conventions while being 100% community driven and focused. While we don’t get compensated for our work, seeing how loved AVCon is year to year keeps us going!
