As SMASH! con grows and changes every year, we get the golden question: How much do tickets cost?

Our early bird tickets which were $50 AUD have offer has ended unfortunately! But there are general sales happening right now which is $55 AUD for a Weekend pass and our Saturday or Sunday only pass will be $40 AUD each.

Please note that there will be a handling fee of 2% at checkout. This is to secure your ticket and would be able to pass on other areas of the convention and limit the large amount of completely free content that SMASH! Has to offer

REMEMBER! 2022 SMASH! Tickets were sold out last year! So get your hands on the tickets soon!!

It’s official: the theme of SMASH! 2021 is “School Festival” or “Gakuensai” (学園祭). After a year of being apart, what better way to come back together than with our own school festival? Haunted houses, food stalls, sports activities, and games… it’s a time to celebrate, party and just have fun!

This year at SMASH! we hope to bring you the excitement of a festival, and bring back the nostalgia of being together again. Let’s go! Tickets still available at tickets.smash.org.au #smashcon
