‘Tis the season! While we may still be in March, what better time to start planning for PAX Aus in October with tickets on sale now for Australia’s biggest gaming convention.

Badges go on sale online at 12pm AEDT on March 24, 2026 here.
Preparations for PAX Aus 2026 are in full swing! While we don’t yet know much about what will feature, it’s likely we’ll see a slew of special guests, 100s of Indie Games, big publishers and tech all under one roof.
Badges are available for an early bird price and will likely sell out in the coming weeks.
● Early Bird 3-Day Badge: $185
● Early Bird Single Day Badge (Fri, Sat or Sun): $77
There will also be some merch available, including a bucket hat, key caps, a Pinny Arcade Pinflatable Chicken and even a special lanyard.
PAX Aus Event Director, Lauren Luciani, said, “After an incredible year in 2025, we’re so excited to
welcome fans back for PAX Aus 2026 and introduce them to PAX Land.
“Every year we aim to create an unforgettable experience for every kind of gamer, whether you
love discovering the latest games, indie gems, family tabletop game nights, mobile gaming, or live
panels. Even with all of that, we know it’s really the passion and energy of our community that
truly powers the event.
“We can’t wait to see everyone back at MCEC in October for three full days of reveals, hands-on
activations, community, and a ridiculous amount of gaming.”
