Qatar Gets Its First Trading Card Convention: CardzCon Doha Opens October 9

CardzCon 2026 will be Qatar's first large-scale trading card and collectibles convention, running October 9 to 10 at the Sheraton Grand Doha with more than 70 international vendors. Tickets start at just 25 Qatari riyals, about seven US dollars.

A New Market Gets Its First Big Show

Qatar will host its first large-scale trading card and collectibles convention this October, as CardzCon 2026 opens at the Sheraton Grand Doha on October 9 and 10, 2026. The two-day event brings together more than 70 international vendors, a significant showing for a region that has not previously had a dedicated convention of this scale.

What to Expect

  • Dates and hours: October 9 from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., and October 10 from noon to 10 p.m.
  • Location: Sheraton Grand Doha, Qatar
  • Vendors: More than 70 international exhibitors selling trading cards and collectibles
  • Extras: Live activations throughout both days

Ticket Prices

Organizers priced entry to be accessible: a one-day adult pass runs 25 Qatari riyals, about seven US dollars, children ages 5 to 15 get in for 15 riyals, and kids under 5 are free. A two-day pass is 45 riyals. Tickets are sold through Platinumlist, and organizers note passes can be transferred to another attendee if plans change.

Why It Matters Beyond Doha

Large, well-attended conventions in new regions tend to signal where the hobby is expanding next, and a dedicated trading card show landing in the Gulf region is a notable data point for a hobby that has spent the last several years growing well beyond its traditional US and Japanese strongholds.

Whether you are traveling for CardzCon or just looking for a show closer to home, find a card shop near you at The Card Shop Finder to keep the hobby going between events.
