INTIMATE
Convention events often draw substantial crowds, but at KupoCon, we adhere to a strict attendee limit. This specific event will be capped at just 900 attendees. Putting attendee comfort over coin.
IMMERSIVE
Immersed in a sea of cosplayers, and enveloped by countless references to the series throughout our discussions, quests, and activities, you’ll find yourself fully immersed in the Final Fantasy universe.
INCLUSIVE
Whether you attend alone or with a group, KupoCon welcomes you with open arms, creating an instant sense of belonging. It’s a unique experience that is hard to explain unless you experience it.
TICKETS
KupoCon offers an experience unlike any other convention. Rather than wandering aimlessly for hours, you’ll find yourself immersed in a world of interactive content and engaging activities. With a quest log to guide you, every step of your journey is filled with excitement and adventure. From unique panels and workshops to themed events and exclusive merchandise, KupoCon ensures that every moment is packed with opportunities to connect, explore, and have fun. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new, KupoCon delivers an unforgettable experience tailored to the passion and enthusiasm of the Final Fantasy community.
Please note there are no single day passes. All main tickets are weekend. Each day is currated differently.

SATURDAY: THE MAIN EVENT
Saturday is the main event at KupoCon, and it’s where everything comes together. The day begins with the opening ceremony before moving into a full schedule of guest keynotes, interviews, and live moments that bring fans closer to the people behind the games. Throughout the day, the Quest Log takes centre stage, guiding attendees through interactive quests and hunts that feel straight out of a Final Fantasy adventure. Along the way, you can browse the market, take in incredible cosplay, explore exclusive merchandise, and dive into workshops, and challenges.
As you complete quests and activities, you’ll earn Gil, KupoCon’s in-event currency, which can be exchanged for rewards and exclusive items, including the ever-growing TriPom trading card series. The day blends exploration, creativity, and connection, all within a vibrant fan atmosphere that rewards participation at every turn. Saturday closes with award presentations celebrating the best of the community, before a short break leads into the evening event, where everyone comes together to celebrate, unwind, and create lasting memories.
SUNDAY: COMMUNITY AND FRANCHISE DAY
Sunday at KupoCon is Community and Franchise Day, a celebration of the fans and the wider worlds that have shaped Final Fantasy. Included with your weekend ticket, the day carries forward the spirit of the event with a more community-driven focus. The Quest Log continues alongside a full two-day market, giving you time to explore at your own pace, while the theatre is removed and replaced with the Event Square with interactive activities and playful challenges inspired by the series. You’ll also find crossover cosplay from franchises like Kingdom Hearts and NieR woven into the day, adding to the sense of creativity and shared fandom while Final Fantasy remains at the heart of it all.
The schedule leans into community expression, with attendee-led content and buskers bringing their talents to the event, often rewarded with gil that can be spent on event merchandise. The TriPom community tournament rounds out the weekend for collectors and competitors alike, while art displays and competitions highlight the incredible creativity within the community. It’s a relaxed but meaningful close to the event, designed to complement Saturday perfectly. KupoCon is built as a full weekend experience, with both days working together to create something complete, immersive, and worth every moment. Oh, and don’t forget Project Origin in the evening.
