The Game Expo is back again in 2025
After another successful show in 2024, The Game Expo will return to the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Center in March 2025, specifically the 22nd and 23rd and tickets are on sale now.
Tickets for adults start at $33 a day or $60 for both days, with children starting at $25 for a single day or $45 for both. These prices are the early bird deals and are 25% off the normal price, so it makes sense to get in early.

Access to The Game Expo on Saturday and Sunday
Access to the VIP Lounge (Drinks provided) (18+ Area)
Exclusive VIP Pin
$100 voucher for The Game Expo Merch Booth
VIP Early access to the expo floor from 9.30am Saturday and Sunday
Skip the queues with separate VIP lines for ticket collection and Expo Entry.
Tickets for the show can be bought here, so get in early for the best price.
