Update 15/07: Nintendo has revealed even more information around its upcoming Nintendo Live Sydney 2024 event, after recently drawing and contacting all of the lucky folks to score an invite to the exclusive event.

Per an email sent out to ticket holders, and an information page on the official website, Nintendo is asking attendees to register for a “Warp Pipe Pass” which will dictate when they arrive on the day to ensure a smooth entry process. Essentially, it’s planning to stagger arrivals based on three intervals each day, and as of July 18th at 9AM AEST you’ll be able to reserve your entry time out of the below:

  • Entry window #1: 10:00am – 11:59pm (AEST)
  • Entry window #2: 12:00pm – 1:29pm (AEST)
  • Entry window #3: 1:30pm – 3:00pm (AEST)

It’s worth noting that there won’t be any restriction on how long you’ll be able to stay once you’ve checked in, but you’ll need to rock up between the allotted hours you’ve registered for on whichever day your ticket applies to.

Aside from entry information, the official page also has some more details on what everyone can expect from the Nintendo Live Sydney 2024 event, including a gameplay tournament dubbed Mario Dojo, “Experience Zones” based on different Nintendo franchises, mascots and sculpture installations and more. Check it all out here.

Update 01/07: With registrations having closed over the weekend, it looks like Nintendo has now emailed all entrants who signed up for a chance to attend Nintendo Live Sydney 2024 to let them know if they were successful in securing a ticket.

You will have gotten an email whether or not you got in, so make sure to look for a message from “Nintendo Events” and check your spam/junk folders if you don’t see anything. Successful tickets come with QR codes and links to add the tickets to your mobile wallets, and if you entered with multiple people you’ll get the one email with everyone’s ticket inside.

Hope you were lucky and if so, see you there!

After announcing the event last month, Nintendo has finally revealed some exciting new details for its upcoming Sydney iteration of the Nintendo Live expo later this year. The in-person event, which first came to Japan before heading to the US last year, is finally making its way to Australia with a heap of activities for gamers of all ages including gameplay, My Nintendo Merch and appearances from the legendary Charles Martinet.

Nintendo Live Sydney will be held at the International Convention Centre Sydney on Saturday August 31st and Sunday September 1st from 10:00am to 6:00pm AEST each day, with free single-day tickets going out as a raffle to Nintendo Account holders. Registration will open on June 17th and then close on June 30th, with entrants randomly selected to receive a pass to the event.

It’s also worth noting, if you’re hoping to attend with anyone else whether a second person or a whole group, you’ll need to link your Nintendo Accounts to a Family Group. Here’s how to register for the chance to attend as well as ensure your account details and Family Group are up to date:

How To Register For Nintendo Live Sydney 2024
