Yes! The Land Con events take place in several locations around the world, including the original Land Con in Paris. Each event offers its own unique programming, guests, and experiences, while sharing the same heart and spirit that make Land Con so special. You can learn more about upcoming Land Con events and find links to their official pages right here on our website.

The Land Con in the U.S. is produced in partnership with the original The Land Con in Paris, France team. Each event is unique to its location, but both share the same mission, bringing fans and the stories they love together in unforgettable ways.

Austin is known for its creative energy, live-music scene, and welcoming spirit, it’s the perfect setting for a fan convention. After a fun day with your favorite actors, you can explore live music, incredible food, local art, outdoor spaces, and the charm of Texas. Whether you’re traveling across town or across the world, Austin offers a one-of-a-kind backdrop for The Land Con experience.

We offer several ticket tiers each with different perks and seating options. Because offerings can evolve, please visit the Tickets page for the most current details.

All ticket sales are final. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable, so please double-check your plans before purchasing.

No, tickets will not be sold on site. All tickets must be purchased online in advance, and availability is limited. We strongly recommend buying early to secure your spot.

These are set by the ticketing platform and/or local regulations, not by The Land Con directly.

Each ticket grants access to the event days listed, main-stage panels, and the vendor marketplace. Your ticket also gives you the opportunity to purchase photo ops, autographs, meet-and-greets, and other special fan experiences. These add-on experiences (also called “extras”) are available exclusively to ticket holders and cannot be purchased without an event entry ticket. If an add-on is purchased without a valid entry ticket, you won’t be able to participate in the experience and no refund will be issued. Higher entry ticket tiers include additional perks such as premium seating and many exclusive benefits, see the Tickets page for the latest details.

We do our best to deliver every experience exactly as listed, but sometimes adjustments are needed due to scheduling or availability. If that happens, we may replace an activity or inclusion with something of equal or comparable value to make sure your ticket still offers the same incredible experience and overall value.

Entry tickets sell out quickly, so plan to make your purchase as soon as they go on sale! There may be multiple waves of ticket releases until we reach capacity, but that’s not guaranteed—once we sell out, that’s it. Be sure to review the Tickets page carefully, as some perks and experiences are exclusively available to higher-tier passes.

A few months before the event, we’ll begin announcing which actors and special guests plan to attend, usually one or two at a time. Because actors’ filming schedules and professional commitments can change, we wait until closer to the event to confirm appearances. While guests are genuinely excited to meet fans, please note that schedules may shift, and appearances can change at any time due to professional obligations outside of our control. In those cases, we always do our best to find suitable replacements.

Once a guest is announced, we’ll also share the on-sale date and time for add-ons experiences associated with said guest—these include photo ops, autographs, meet-and-greets, and other exclusive experiences. We make all major announcements by email and social media, so keep a close eye on both to stay in the loop.

Add-ons often sell out quickly, so we recommend being ready to purchase as soon as they’re released! Please note that these add-ons are only available to entry ticket holders. If an add-on is purchased without a valid entry ticket, you won’t be able to participate in the experience and no refund will be issued.

If the event is postponed, all tickets will automatically transfer to the new date. If the event is canceled in full and not rescheduled, we’ll refund the face value of your tickets and eligible add-ons. Travel, lodging, and other expenses are not refundable.

Yes. Please bring a government-issued photo ID that matches the name on your order when you pick up your badge.

Badges must be picked up in person by the ticket holder. We’re not able to release badges to friends or family.

Badges help keep the event safe and organized, so please wear yours visibly at all times. If you lose or misplace your badge, don’t worry, just stop by Guest Services right away and we’ll do our best to help. For security reasons, lost or stolen badges may require a small replacement fee, and the original badge will be deactivated.

Tickets are non-transferable and names cannot be changed after purchase.

Tickets can be purchased securely online using major credit cards.

All attendees must have an official Land Con badge to enter the event. Badge pick-up and registration will open on the afternoon of Friday, October 2, 2026. Specific times and details will be shared closer to the event, watch your email and our social media channels for updates. Be sure to bring your photo ID when you check in.

No problem! Our registration team will be available throughout the weekend to check you in and get you settled.

We can’t wait to share the lineup with you! Guests will be announced closer to the event. Because actors’ filming and travel schedules can change, we announce appearances closer to the event. Keep an eye on your email and social media for official updates, and remember guest lists may continue to evolve right up to the event weekend.

We know how much you look forward to seeing your favorite actors and guests! Because actors’ filming and travel schedules can change unexpectedly, appearances and programming may shift, sometimes even close to the event. If that happens, we’ll do our best to secure a suitable replacement. Please note that these changes are always due to professional commitments outside our control and are part of the live-event experience.

We hope so! Each LandCon features a lineup of incredible guests from the historical and period-drama worlds—but we don’t always know exactly who will be attending until much closer to the event. Actor appearances depend on filming and travel schedules, which can change, sometimes even last-minute.

Every LandCon is packed with memorable moments, laughter, and surprises—so no matter who’s there, you’re in for an amazing weekend!

Because we work around actors’ filming and travel schedules, the event schedule often continues to evolve right up to, and even during, the weekend. The most up-to-date schedule will be available throughout the event on the official event app and posted at the venue. Be sure to check both regularly for any changes or new additions!

Seating is assigned by ticket tier to make sure every guest enjoys a great view. Your exact seat location will depend on the pass type you select.

Coming with friends? To sit together, all tickets must be purchased in the same order/purchase AND in the same ticket tier (Platinum, Gold, or Silver). Seating assignments follow tier and order of purchase.

Yes! Photography and recording are permitted during panel discussions so you can capture your favorite moments. However, flash photography is only allowed during the first two minutes of each panel to avoid disrupting guests and speakers. Please remember that recording and photography are not permitted during meet & greets, photo ops, autograph sessions, Friday evening reception, other intimate experiences, or any areas marked “no recording.” Please see our Terms of Service for details.

Select panels will include audience Q&As. Instructions will be provided by staff during each session.

A photo op is a professional photo session with a guest actor, your moment to capture a keepsake memory!

For single-guest photo ops, each ticket is valid for one person. If you’d like to take a photo with friends, everyone in the picture will need their own ticket for that same session.

For multi-guest photo ops (with two or more actors), one ticket includes up to two people in the same photo. For example, if you purchase a photo with three actors, you and one friend can pose together under a single ticket. If you’d like to include additional friends beyond the first two, each extra person will need their own ticket.

Photo op sessions move quickly to make sure everyone gets their turn. Unfortunately, we can’t offer retakes for closed eyes or missed poses, but don’t worry, our photographers and staff will guide you through the process to help your photo looks great!

Once you’ve purchased your photo op, autograph or other add-on experience, you can check the event schedule while at the event to see the approximate time your experience will take place. Please note that schedules are subject to change, even on the day of the event. Keep an eye on the event screens and the official event app for updates and notifications about when it’s time to head to your designated location. Once you’re in line, our staff will guide you through the process to ensure everything runs smoothly and efficiently.

No. Only ticketed attendees may purchase extras.

Once a photo op or autograph session sells out, additional inventory usually isn’t available, but on rare occasions, we’re able to add more. Sometimes, new sessions or limited spots may even open up during the event weekend. Be sure to check back regularly and stay tuned to your email and our social media channels for updates on any new releases or restocks. During the event, you can also check with Guest Services to see if any additional photo ops or autographs have become available. Please note that extras cannot be purchased online once the event has begun.

Yes, creative poses are allowed within reason and good taste and at the actor’s discretion. Poses should always be comfortable and respectful for everyone involved. Handshakes, hugs (when permitted), and friendly poses are welcome! Carrying, lifting, kissing, or similar physical contact isn’t allowed. Staff and photographers will help guide you to ensure everyone has a positive and enjoyable experience.

We’ll always do our best to help, but once a session begins, we can’t guarantee late entry and missed sessions aren’t refundable. Be sure to keep an eye on the event app, on-site screens, and announcements so you’ll know exactly when it’s time for your experience. We don’t want you to miss your special moment!

Details on printed photos or digital downloads will be available closer to the event.

Personal photos and videos are not permitted during photo op or autograph sessions, meet and greets, or other add-on experiences (except for ticketed Selfie photos).

Each autograph ticket includes one guest signature. Most actors are happy to sign official items such as DVDs, posters, or books, and some may also allow personal items at their discretion. Please note that guests may decline to sign certain items—like paparazzi photos, intimate items, or anything they find inappropriate. Official event photos, your own merchandise, or approved memorabilia are usually great choices. Our staff will confirm what’s allowed when you check in for your session.

As long as time permits (and at their discretion), most guests are happy to personalize autographs. Very long inscriptions may not be possible.

Absolutely! We love when fans bring the magic of their favorite stories to life—it’s part of what makes LandCon so unforgettable. Whether you’re channeling a beloved character or adding your own creative flair, we can’t wait to see how you show up!

We simply ask that costumes stay true to the spirit of LandCon—think historical eras, Scottish culture, and period-drama style—and that they’re safe and comfortable to move around in. Outfits should allow for easy walking and seating and shouldn’t block aisles, obstruct views, or make it difficult to climb stairs or navigate crowds.

To keep things enjoyable for everyone, costumes must be family-friendly and free of offensive or hateful imagery. And while a little sparkle can be tempting, please avoid materials like glitter, confetti, powder, or liquids—they can damage the venue and create safety concerns for others.

We love seeing your creativity! However, costume masks or helmets that fully or mostly cover your face aren’t permitted anywhere inside the event. Medical or ADA-related face coverings are, of course, always allowed.

For everyone’s safety, no weapons or weapon-like props of any kind are permitted, even if they’re made of foam, plastic, or other soft materials. That includes items like swords, staffs, bows, or anything resembling a weapon.

We know props can be a fun part of cosplay, but keeping the event safe and comfortable for all guests is our top priority. If you’re unsure whether an accessory is allowed, it’s best to leave it at home or check with our team before the event.

Attendees under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. Children under 8 are not permitted to attend. All attendees, regardless of age, must have their own paid ticket to enter the event. Please refer to our Terms of Service for full details regarding age requirements and minor attendance policies.
