Tickets and Membership

When you buy a ticket/membership to Nullus Anxietas X, you become a member of the convention - we want everyone to be involved in making the convention a memorable experience.

We use the terms 'ticket' and 'membership' interchangeably - so there's no real difference between buying a membership and buying a ticket. The distinctions between these terms (where it matters) is explained below.

Supporting Membership

A supporting membership for the convention:

• Acts as a holding deposit for your attendance at the convention.
• Helps to support our running costs.
• Your membership number (e.g. S014) is allocated as a supporter, and if you choose to upgrade, you'll keep the same number (e.g. S014 will become A014).
• Allows you to upgrade at the early bird price, if purchased during the early bird sale (conditions apply - see below)

To attend the convention, a supporting membership must be upgraded to an attending membership by paying the difference between the supporting membership price and the membership price at the time that you purchased your supporting membership.

You may upgrade in a single payment or by paying several set-price installments. The upgrade from supporting to attending membership will close on 28 March 2026, along side all online ticket sales. If you still wish to upgrade your ticket following this date you will need to contact the Membership officer. 

Upgrading from four supporting memberships to a family membership is not available via our shop. Please contact the Membership officer if this situation applies to you.

Attending Membership

An attending membership allows you to:

• Have fun with lots of other fans of Terry Pratchett and his writing.
• Attend all three days of the Australian Discworld Convention at the convention venue.
• Access to all convention events at no extra cost (except for the gala dinner and organised activities outside the three-day Convention time frame, if any).
  • Note: some events may have limited numbers - for example, craft workshops and Klatches (small intimate chats with guests)
  • Workshop places are generally assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Klatch places are generally assigned by a random draw from everyone who nominates.
• Receive a membership badge to be worn at the convention.
• Receive a convention bag with various goodies and information, on arrival and registration at the convention.
• Receive a souvenir convention book, with information about convention events and other fun stuff.
• Be listed on the Membership List.
  • To be listed as 'Hidden', please check the appropriate box when purchasing your ticket.
  • Your membership number is assigned manually by the membership officer, so it won't appear automatically after you buy your ticket. You don't need to remember it anyway, it's just handy for us when we're looking you up in our database!
• Purchase (via pre-order) special convention attendee-only souvenir merchandise, such as the convention t-shirts.

Ticket Types

Note that where we specify an age constraint, we are referring to the member's age at the time of the start of the convention (10 April 2026).

Adult Ticket

For adults and children ages 16+, except where Concession applies.

All persons aged 16 and 17 attending the convention, who are not accompanied by a membership-holding adult, will need to provide a letter to the convention committee containing contact details of a responsible parent or guardian, and written permission stating that the parent or guardian has approved their attendance at the event.

Concession Ticket

For full-time students (16+), pensioners, seniors or other valid concession cardholders. Members must provide proof that they qualify for the concession at the time of the convention. If your circumstances change before the convention, please contact the Membership officer to discuss how best to change your ticket.

We want you to enjoy yourself during the convention, but we have a few rules and guidelines to ensure that everyone has the best possible time. Please be sure to read through the terms and conditions of membership before purchasing your tickets. Please also see our code of conduct.

If you have bought a membership and can't attend...

If the Convention or Gala Dinner tickets are sold out...

We have a limited number of tickets available to attend the convention, and smaller limited numbers for special events such as the Gala Dinner. If the convention or these events are sold out, and you are still hoping to attend them, please join the appropriate waiting list.
