G'day, all!

As part of getting premiere content from Wizards of the Coast for D&D in 2016, I need to give them an indication of how big PAX Aus is.

So, does anyone know what the total attendance is - and (more importantly for my purposes) the unique attendance over the three days?

Cheers,
Merric

    Those numbers are never officially released. You should be able to get ballpark numbers from your exhibitor contact with Reed Expo for that sort of thing.

    It's a tough one. I remember few enforcers saying about 50-75k people per a day
    So 150k to 225k over the three days

    I would guess the 50-75k number would be more accurate for the turnstile count for the entirety of the show.

    Hmm you probably know better then me but by mid day Saturday there were lots of people.
    and I was in the first row at 8am waiting.
    people started pouring in while I was in the Twitch queue I must've seen 2-3k come through the doors within 20 mins. I'll keep a count this year

    It's the biggest gaming expo in Australia by far. If you can't make it to this one, you're missing out on thousands of potential customers.

    Pax is bigger than Gen Con Oz was, by a very substantial mark.
