The Wee Con 2026: Ticketing Change!

Our Kickstarter is coming to an end and some of you might be concerned that we haven't reached our goal. To reassure you: Wee Con 2026 in Glasgow is happening! To get everything in place, we're changing our ticketing approach -- read on for more details and what'll happen next.

When the Wee Con 2 Kickstarter was being put together, we ambitiously set our target to 'all or nothing'. This covered all room options at our chosen venue, our lovely AV specialist from Edinburgh, and a little extra to cover Kickstarter fees, which can be quite substantial.

We've had a positive enough response to the campaign that we know the event can go ahead, but we also realise that this is a busy time, and the limited span of such a campaign doesn't necessarily suit every attendee.

With this in mind, we will be switching all sales over to TicketTailor. This means that you won't be charged for the Kickstarter, and instead of receiving a code post-campaign to claim your ticket, you can simply buy your ticket directly from the TicketTailor shop.

If all who have already pledged purchase the corresponding tickets and extras in this way, we will secure our main hall, AV specialist, and social areas -- which are enough for the convention to happen! Additional tickets sold will cover more workshops and event spaces.

Pay-it-Forward tickets, extras, and the ability to donate will all still be available. There will be no need to follow additional instructions to secure your tickets later on. Buy it once and that's it! There's also no need for us to make sure all campaign tickets are claimed before opening sales to everyone else.

TicketTailor fees are also lower, meaning that our overall target for more workshop space will be lower, too. The greater the funds, the more we can do, and, as with last year, any residual funds will be donated to charity. We will keep you posted as we move forward.

And for those whose plans are not fixed: while we would love to see everyone there, we understand things can change. Tickets will be refundable until the date we need to lock down final venue arrangements, which will be 15 September 2026.
