Are you an audiophile, cinephile, or AV enthusiast? The 2026 Australian Hi-Fi Show is just around the corner, and it's the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of high-fidelity audio and visual technology. But here's where it gets exciting: you can score discounted accommodation right at the show venue! If you're planning to attend, you'll want to take advantage of the 20% off room rates at the Sydney Central Hotel, located just a short walk from Sydney's Central Station. To claim your discount, simply head to www.the-ascott.com, search for and select 'Sydney Central Hotel', choose your desired stay dates, and enter the code EVENTSTW in the drop-down menu for 'Promotion'. But wait, there's more! You'll also need a ticket to enter the show itself, which can be pre-purchased at Ticketebo (https://www.ticketebo.com.au/future-publishing-apac/australian-hi-fi-show-2026). Prices start at AU$20 for a one-day pass, AU$35 for two days, or AU$45 for the full three days. And don't forget, every Show ticket comes with a free copy of the latest issue of Australian Hi-Fi magazine. So, mark your calendars and get ready to explore the latest in homegrown Australian hi-fi talent alongside some of the biggest global brands, all under one roof. But here's the controversial part: while the show promises to be our biggest and best yet, some may argue that the focus on Australian brands could limit the diversity of experiences.
