Collectfest 2025 at MCEC and ICC Sydney

A one-of-a-kind festival is coming to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane for the very first time next year, and you’d better get in line. Collectfest will bring together collectors of all stripes – from sneakerheads to Pokemon hunters – for three massive events, expected to attract 10,000 visitors in each city.

Collectfest is billed as the place “where collections collide”. It’s a fascinating showcase of rare and valuable items in pretty much every category you can think of, including trading cards, sports memorabilia, retro gaming, coins and stamps, toys and figurines.

Whether you’re building a first collection or looking for a rare new piece – or you just want to dress up and meet some likeminded enthusiasts – this is the place. It’s set to be a party as much as a one-stop shop, and when the full program lands, you’ll find a host of interactive experiences, on-trend activations and exclusive content catering to a wide range of hobbyists.

Discounted earlybird tickets are on sale now. General admission and VIP tickets (including priority access and exclusive merch and opportunities) will be available from January 2025. Single-day passes start at $15 for kids and $30 for adults, while weekend passes are $20 for kids and $50 for adults. Family passes are also available.
