Not really. We do have some panel sessions that can include coarse language or other adult themes, and some content may be restricted based on relevant age restrictions (such as R18+ or MA15+). We do our best to flag anything likely to fit into that category in our schedule. Attendees aged 14 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian aged 18 years or older with their own badge. Children 6 and under can enter free without a badge, provided they're accompanied by an adult.
Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre is a cashless venue. Only card payments will be permitted throughout PAX Aus and MCEC.
Single Day badges are $77. Early Bird 3-Day badges are $185
We accept all major debit/credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, JCB and American Express), Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Panels are accessible on a first-come, first-served basis and may be capped if the theatre is full. There are queuing areas around all theatres where you can line up in advance so you don’t miss out. Yes, the relevant single day or 3-day badge is required to attend a panel.
All the details on how to get to the MCEC can be found here.
Absolutely. There is parking available at the venue and nearby. You can find all the costs and details here.
Yes! However, be warned that a lot of your fellow attendees will also be using it, potentially clogging those invisible air-pipes. Try not to rely on it, because you may find it...unreliable.
Animals are not permitted at the Event except for assistance animals as defined under applicable Australian law. You can find out more about this in our Terms and Conditions. Management may request reasonable evidence that an animal is an assistance animal within the meaning of applicable law. If such evidence cannot be provided, or if the animal is not under effective control or does not meet appropriate standards of behaviour or hygiene, Management reserves the right to refuse entry to or require removal of the animal.
A medical badge is available for persons who require one. It is not a ticket on it's own and must be obtained in addition to a regular badge. You must complete this form in order to apply for the medical badge. You cannot do this process at the event; you must apply before arriving at the event to obtain a medical badge. We also have Companion Passes available at the event. Companions may attend the event for free while they are accompanying a person requiring their care. The person they are accompanying must have a full priced ticket.
