For those of you who joined us in Cologne last year, you will be happy to hear that our plans for this year are very similar at this stage. Gamescom runs from 21st through 26th August. We will have a fun and interactive booth in the game halls, opportunities to meet the team in the evenings, and a live show at Gloria Theater on the Friday 25th. Join your host Chris Roberts as we showcase some of what we’ve been working on this year, and deliver some never-seen-before gameplay!
The show will start in the evening on the Friday:
Doors Open: 8pm (CEST) // Show Starts: 9pm (CEST)
Tickets will be available here:
Friday, August 25th:
Doors Open: 8pm (CEST) // Show Starts: 9pm (CEST)
Gloria Theater, Apostelnstrasse 11, 50667 Köln.
Space is limited, so be sure you get your tickets fast! This will be an evening event, going through until late.
There are many car parks close by and within walking distance from Gloria. Top 3 below:
Additional parking available on the street, with a parking ticket necessary until 11pm.
PLEASE remember to bring your printed ticket or a digital copy stored on your phone in addition to your photo ID. If you have a Citizen Card or any Star Citizen clothing, bring it. Cosplay is encouraged, though due to local regulations Gloria Theater prohibits replica weapons of any design. If you come in cosplay, please leave your weapons at home.
There is a bar at the venue for drinks, and a small selection of snacks available from the café. Attendees are highly encouraged to eat meals prior to the show.
Each year, fans have kindly offered gifts for the team. Unfortunately, since many of us are flying back to the United States the next day we are unable to accept anything at the event. We truly appreciate the thought, though!
Wheelchairs should be pre-registered with us by entering a support ticket (link to Contact Us) to ensure suitable entry is available for the event. The hall is located on the ground floor of the theater. While wheelchair users will be given priority access, it is worth noting there are no disabled toilets on the premises; however, these can be found in public buildings in the neighbourhood.

No, this is not allowed for the venue – Please stop by one of the traditional German restaurants nearby before the event.
No, this will be a standing event.
Yes, the event is 18+
You may bring a small foldable seat to use while outside the theater, however use of them inside the premises is prohibited, so you would need to use the coat check once inside. Please only bring what you’ll need with you to the event, as well as your Star Citizen merchandise!
Attendees will be encouraged to store their belongings in the visitor’s cloakroom. Coats, jackets, bags, umbrellas etc., may be asked to be checked if they are large; with deference to everyone’s safety and ease of access. This storage costs €1.50 per ticket (Remember to keep this safe!)
No, you will need to purchase a separate ticket to attend Gamescom at Koelnmesse. Our party at Gloria Theater does not require you to attend Gamescom. They are separate events.
Please visit the GamesCom Website for their tickets.
Rather than queuing up for hours beforehand, we encourage backers to meet up nearby. Keep an eye on Spectrum for posts on this topic closer to the event date.
Yes. On Sunday 23rd the ability to purchase tickets will be unlocked to all backers, which will include any previously unsold tickets.
