Mind The Gap: PAX Aus 2025 Early Bird Badges On Sale Now
Check your watch, it’s Badge time! PAX Aus 2025 Early Bird Badges go on sale at 12pm AEDT on March 25, 2025.
Last year, PAX Aus lived up to its reputation with a huge return of AAA publishers to the Expo Hall, alongside its biggest-ever Tabletop and Indie Showcase areas, a packed panel schedule and nonstop gaming action. And 2025 is shaping up to deliver the weekend of a lifetime again. And wait until you see the Tabletop area this year, it’s expanding faster than a rush-hour platform.
Badges for PAX Aus 2025 will be available to purchase from midday AEDT on March 25 here. Get your Early Bird 3-Day Badge for $180 or grab an Early Bird Single Day Badge for Friday, Saturday or Sunday for $75. There are limited Early Bird 3-Day badges available, so get in FAST!
PAX Aus will take place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 10-12 October, rounding off Melbourne International Games Week, Asia Pacific’s largest digital games celebration, bringing international influencers, business, and industry together. So if you haven’t already booked those days off work, now’s the ultimate IRL side quest to get those dates in the diary.
For the first time ever, PAX Aus is offering an exclusive t-shirt as part of its pre-order merchandise – check it out here! The best part; you can wear it to PAX! All pre-order merchandise will be mailed with your badges, so you can parade your new merch around at the show – like a newly unlocked Mario Kart character.
The dice are rolling and the PAX Aus campaign is already underway! The PAX Aus team is meticulously crafting an epic adventure, gathering the best digital and tabletop games, AAA publishers, indie devs, hardware companies, masterful cosplayers and top-tier gaming talent.
The showfloor and schedules are being organised and vigorous debates have already started about what games the legendary Omegathon will play host to, the playlist for the Queue Hall and what design the infamous Pin Chicken has in store for us.
PAX Aus Event Director, Lauren Luciani, said, “We’re really looking forward to welcoming everyone to PAX Aus 2025 following an incredible year last year. The team is working very hard putting together a showfloor and schedule we know our PAX Aus fans will love.
“Every year, we try to deliver the best possible experience for our PAX Aus audience, no matter what their gaming passion. But it’s people’s passion and enthusiasm that brings the atmosphere, so we’re looking forward to seeing everyone back at MCEC in October for the ultimate game night (and day) across an entire weekend!”
