The optional green ticket allows all visitors to take part in gamescom goes green and contribute to environmental and climate protection together with the organizers and exhibitors.

⁠Day tickets for private visitors

Day tickets for private visitors are available in the gamescom online ticket shop only while supplies last. All those who absolutely want to be part of the gaming and community festival of the year, be the first to try out the latest games and experience many other gamescom highlights live on-site should get their tickets as soon as possible.

Evening tickets for private visitors

Discounted evening tickets will be offered again this year for the public days. This gives visitors access to the entertainment area starting at 4:00 p.m. Based on past experience, many holders of day tickets leave the grounds around noon or finish their gamescom day in one of the event areas. This increases the chances of faster access to the latest attractions at the stands in the early evening.

Family ticket

Exciting news for families who love gaming – the family ticket is back again this year. A new feature is the personalization of tickets for family members, which is now done in the ticket shop instead of at the entrance area as in the past. The family ticket is valid for a total of five people, including a maximum of two adults and at least one child between the ages of 7 and 12. The number of family tickets is also limited and available only as long as supplies last.
