Gamescom 2013 is underway, and the public opening this Thursday is likely to break records this year, judging by the crowds already gathered at the exhibition grounds. crowded to have.
Day tickets for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are now sold out. Anyone who doesn't yet have a ticket but still wants to visit gamescom on these days can purchase afternoon tickets from 13 p.m. at the North, South, and East entrances and is asked to factor this into their arrival time. Entry with afternoon tickets is expected from 14 p.m. onwards. However, waiting times should be expected, and entry depends on the flow of visitors, i.e., the number of people leaving the grounds.
Anyone who can still be flexible with their gamescom visit should mark Sunday on their calendar. There are currently still plenty of day tickets available for gamescom Sunday, the last day of the fair, while supplies last. These are available both in advance and at the ticket booths on Sunday.
We also managed to overhear some initial estimates of the expected visitor numbers by Sunday. Around 297.000 visitors are expected at gamescom by the end of the event, which would be about 50.000 more than in previous years.
(Update)
As the Cologne trade fair organizers have announced, all tickets for Sunday are now completely sold out. From now on, only afternoon tickets are available.
