Glasgow 2024 has announced changes to its membership rates to take effect from March 1, 2024. These changes include increases in all Attending rates, closure of the Membership Installment plan to new participants, and the release for sale of Day and Weekend tickets.
ATTENDING MEMBERSHIP RATES. The in-person Attending Membership rates from March 1, 2024 will be as follows. All these memberships include the right to attend the convention, WSFS rights to participate in the Hugo Awards and Site Selection, and for those over 15 years old, full access to the Online Convention, both during and after the convention.
Full Adult (26 and over) – £230 (previously £210)
First Worldcon Adult – £165 (previously £150)
Historically Under-represented Adult – £165 (previously £150)
Scottish / Local Adult – £150 (previously £140)
Full Young Adult (16-25) – £135 (previously £125)
Scottish / Local Young Adult – £95 (previously £90)
Teenage (11-15) – £90 (previously £85)
The following rates will also change:
Online Bundled (Includes WSFS rights) – £80 (previously £75)
Online Unbundled (no WSFS rights) – £40 (previously £35)
Child Tickets (In-Person Only, 6-10 years old) – £55 (previously £50)
Infant tickets will remain at £5 (excluding child care) and WSFS Only (Supporting) Memberships will remain at £45.
MEMBERSHIP INSTALLMENT PLAN: They will be closing the Membership Installment Plan to new applications as of March 1, 2024. The Installment Plan enables you to pay for an Attending Membership Supplement in a series of convenient monthly installments. Contact them at [email protected] if you wish to sign up for the plan before it closes.
DAY AND WEEKEND TICKETS: Glasgow’s Day and Weekend Tickets will go on sale from March 1 at a significantly discounted price to those that will be charged on the day. These tickets are available in two forms: one for those aged 16 and over including access to our online convention, and one for younger fans covering physical attendance only.
Day and Weekend Tickets do not include WSFS rights; a separate WSFS Only Membership will be required for individuals who wish to participate in the Hugo Awards, Site Selection and Business Meeting.
Our advance Day / Weekend ticket rates will be as follows:
| Day | Adult (over 16) | Under 16 |
| Thursday 8 Aug | £50 | £20 |
| Friday 9 Aug | £75 | £25 |
| Saturday 10 Aug | £75 | £25 |
| Sunday 11 Aug | £75 | £25 |
| Monday 12 Aug | £45 | £15 |
| Weekend 10 and 11 Aug | £140 | £45 |
People planning to attend on two or more days should check these rates against the Full Attending In-Person rates, particularly if they are eligible for a concessionary rate (First Worldcon, Scottish / Local etc) or also plan to buy a WSFS Membership, as the Full Attending Rate may offer a cheaper option.

Given that they aren’t going to have the bump of holdover funds, Glasgow is going to have to have serious numbers of attendance to avoid going into the Red. (which is going to cascade into Seattle if Seattle is counting on Holdover funds from Glasgow…)
