10 reasons to book your complimentary Game Fair tickets early

With the countdown on to this year’s The Game Fair, now is a great time for you to book your complimentary BASC member tickets.

BASC members get complimentary entry to all three days of The Game Fair, plus discounted guest tickets. This year’s event runs from 24-26 July at Ragley Hall.

Last year saw more than 45,000 BASC members taking advantage of complimentary tickets to The Game Fair. A record-breaking 128,000 visitors took to the show in total, meaning that our members made up a whopping 35 per cent of everyone in attendance.

Why should I book my Game Fair tickets early?

1. Guarantee your entry

Complimentary tickets still need to be claimed in advance to secure access.

2. Get your guest tickets at 20% off

Lock in the discount and bring friends or family for less.

3. Don’t miss out if capacity fills

If you purchase additional tickets, booking early helps ensure you’re covered before they sell out.

4. Avoid last-minute stress

No scrambling, no forgotten steps – you’ll know it’s done.

5. Faster entry on the day

Having tickets sorted in advance makes arrival and entry smoother.

6. Book accommodation

Once your tickets are confirmed, it’s easier to organise your journey. Upgrade to premium parking options, but be quick – there’s limited capacity!

8. Happy camping

If you’re camping or glamping at The Game Fair, early booking gives you better availability and choice.

9. Get it in the diary

Claiming tickets early makes it far more likely you’ll actually go and enjoy the day.
