Two days of everything you love. Film, TV, gaming, anime, cosplay, collectibles and creators — all under one roof.
Our main stage competition, with the biggest prize in Australian cosplay. Every level welcome.
Cosplay masterclasses, creator panels and meet-and-greets running all weekend on a dedicated stage.
Step inside screen-accurate worlds. Full sets built for you to shoot in, not just look at.
Video game and tabletop free play. Sit down, grab a controller, lose an hour.
Meet the artists and makers behind the work. Original art, prints and commissions.
Premieres, trailers, first looks and talent Q&As throughout both days.
Masters of Cosplay is our main stage competition, and it carries the largest prize pool of any cosplay competition in Australia. $4,000 cash, a New Zealand getaway, and seven awards on the table. Entries are open now.
We are locking in our first guest line-up now — actors, creators and special guests. Join the list and you will hear it before anyone else.

Right here on this page, or through our Humanitix page. Tickets are on sale now. Kids under 5 get in free and do not need a ticket.
Saturday and Sunday are separate tickets, and swapping between them counts as a change of mind, so we cannot refund or exchange it. Please double-check the day before you pay. You are welcome to pass the ticket to someone else at no charge.
Not for a change of mind. If we cancel, you get your money back; if we move the date, your ticket carries over or you can take a refund. A guest withdrawing is not grounds for a refund, as your ticket is to the whole show. Our full refund policy sets out the detail.
Absolutely — please do. We just ask that costumes are safe for a crowded venue and that any prop weapons are clearly not real. The full costume and prop rules are in our conditions of entry.

We have partnered with Quest Apartment Hotels at Quest Newcastle and Quest Newcastle West, both on Hunter Street. Fandomania guests get 15% off a single night or 20% off two nights or more. The booking links and codes are on our where-to-stay page.
Email info@fandomania.com.au and we will come back to you. If it is about a booking, include your order number.
Be first to know who we announce next, who is coming to the floor, and what we are building — before any of it goes public.
Most cons decide the line-up in a room somewhere and announce it at you. We’d rather ask. Tell us who to book, which shops should have a stall and what to put on the floor. It lands in our inbox, a real person reads it, and we write back when we can.
If you’re already telling people about this, come inside. You’ll hear things first, you’ll get the artwork before it’s public, and if you want it, you’ll earn 10% of every ticket you sell. No follower count required.
Fandomania acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the Elders past and present.
