PAX Australia Early Badges Go On Sale Today So Here’s When And How Much

Don't miss out!

Update: Today’s the day with PAX Australia Early Bird badges going on sale for this year’s show.

The event’s Twitter page has called out that badge purchases will utilise an online queuing system and work on a first-come-first-serve basis, so if you’re hoping to get in early and secure your tickets for October then you’ll want to make sure you’re around when they go on sale at 12PM AEDT.

Early Bird badges will cost $175 for a full weekend badge (Friday October 6th – Sunday October 8th entry), or $70 for a single day badge. Weekend badges will reportedly be in limited supply for early bird purchases.

Tickets will go on sale over on the PAX Australia website, where you can also sign up for future updates, join the dedicated Discord community and see all of the latest info on this year’s expo.


After making its grand, post-lockdown return last year, PAX Australia is gearing up once again for 2023, and the event dates of Friday, October 6th – Sunday, October 8th have been well and truly locked in.

This year’s show will happen at the usual venue of the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre – marking the show’s 10th anniversary in Melbourne, and if you’re ready and rearing to attend you’ll be happy to know that the first round of badge sales has been announced.

From March 21st at 12PM AEDT, keen punters will be able to get in on Early Bird badge sales for PAX Australia 2023.

Last year’s event was a packed weekend full of gamers excited to be back at a big convention, so it’ll be interesting to see how PAX really brings the goods this year. We had Shuhei Yoshida himself as a keynote speaker for 2022, and the Press Start team got up to our usual shenanigans with the Press Start What The Wiki? Extravaganza.

Ticket prices as well as exhibitor and schedule info are all still up in the air, but we’ll be sure to report back when these are confirmed.
