As in previous years, Saturday afternoon tickets will also be available on location at gamescom 2018 (admission starting at 2:00 p.m.). Admission is dependent on the visitor flow (the volume of visitors leaving the fair grounds). Waiting times must be taken into account. For those who want to experience gamescom in person and test out the numerous premieres live on location, prompt purchase of an advance sale gamescom ticket for Wednesday, Thursday or Friday in the online Ticket-Shop is highly recommended.
New: limited contingent of school class tickets
gamescom time is also holiday time, but not everywhere in Germany. In order to also enable school classes outside of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia to undertake an excursion to gamescom, a limited contingent of school class tickets will be offered this year for the first time. For the price of EUR 6.50/person (pupils and accompanying persons), gamescom can be visited on the public days of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (22, 23 and 24 August) with this ticket. Content of special relevance for education and media education, such as the gamescom campus, the Youth Forum NRW or gamescom jobs & careers enable the linking of teaching content and fun in the context of this type of field trip. Interested schools and teachers can contact the private visitor hotline or use a special email mailbox (schulbestellung@gamescom.de) to get further information. It is possible to order school class tickets until 31 July 2018. At least ten people (incl. accompanying persons) per class must participate. A teacher may only place an order for a complete group. However, the contingent of school class tickets is also limited: they are only available as long as supplies last. The reservation of tickets is not possible.
Trade visitor tickets
Trade visitor tickets are also available at www.gamescom.global/ticket_tradevisitor. In addition to day tickets, 3-day tickets for trade visitors will also be offered in the online Ticket Shop of gamescom in accordance with the schedule of the business area (Tuesday, 21 August to Thursday, 23 August). Trade visitors also have the possibility to acquire their admission ticket at reduced prices: limited early bird ticket contingents have been reserved for all trade visitor days in the online shop. Like in the year before, the following also applies for 2018: the purchase of a trade visitor ticket is only possible for personal use, and is thus issued to a specific person.
