Tickets

How much are tickets?

Saturday and Sunday passes cost £20 when you buy online in advance, or £25 at the standard price. Weekend Passes cost £35 online in advance (standard £40). Under 16s go free with a paying adult.

If you have an early-bird code, it takes £10 off orders of £35 or more on Saturday, Sunday and Weekend passes until 31 December 2026. Buy tickets.

Can I buy tickets on the day?

Yes, online. There’s no ticket desk at the venue. Don’t have a ticket yet? Scan the QR code at the entrance to buy online using your phone. All tickets are digital, and no cash or card payments are taken at the entrance. Book before midnight the day before your visit for £20 a day (by midnight on Friday for a £35 Weekend Pass); after that it’s £25 a day or £40 for the weekend.

Do children need a ticket?

Under-16s go free with an adult who has a valid ticket.

My tickets haven’t arrived

Use Ticket lookup with your order number and email to find your QR code, or email events@rorkmedia.com and we’ll resend them. Tickets bought in the two days before the show are sent each evening once the team has left site. At the show, open Ticket lookup on your phone and show your QR code at the entrance.

Is there a companion ticket for disabled visitors?

Yes. Access Card holders get a free companion ticket with each full-price adult ticket. Buy your own ticket and show your Access Card at check-in.

Under 16s aren’t eligible for a companion ticket, because they already go free with a paying adult.

What’s the Steve Backshall Meet & Greet?

It is an add-on to a Saturday, Sunday or Weekend Pass. It costs £30 per booking and each booking is for two people and includes one signed copy of Steve Backshall's book, handed over at the Meet & Greet. Capacity is limited to the first 100 bookings. Each person needs a valid Saturday, Sunday or Weekend Pass. Add it on the tickets page when you book. No discounts apply to add-ons.

You can add 12 issues of Scuba Diver magazine for £25 at checkout with any adult ticket.

Can I meet Steve Backshall?

Yes, with the Meet & Greet add-on: £30 per booking for two people, including one signed copy of Steve Backshall's book, with 100 bookings available. Each person needs a valid Saturday, Sunday or Weekend Pass. Add it on the tickets page when you book your tickets.

I bought a Saturday ticket but want to come on Sunday

No problem. Day tickets are marked Saturday or Sunday, but your ticket is scanned once on whichever day you come. There’s no need to contact us to change it.

Can I leave and come back?

Yes. Single-day tickets include unlimited re-entry on the day you attend. Weekend passes cover both days.

Can I get a refund?

No. Tickets are non-refundable. If you can’t come on the day on your ticket, single-day tickets also work on the other show day.

I have an early-bird code. How do I use it?

Use the button in your email and the code is applied for you, or type it in at checkout. It takes £10 off orders of £35 or more on Saturday, Sunday and Weekend passes, can be used once and ends at 23:59 on 31 December 2026. Not on our list yet? Sign up for show emails and we’ll send you a code.

How do I register for the buyer programme?

You can apply for a Travel Buyer or Retail Buyer badge at https://godivingshow.com/uk/trade-buyers/. Applications close on 26 February 2027.

You'll need a trade invoice for dive travel or equipment from the last 6 months, issued to your business. You'll also need a business utility bill (landline, gas, electricity, water or business rates) from the last 3 months, in the business name at your trading address, and your business landline number. We can't accept home addresses or mobile numbers as the business number.

Your card is authorised for the £25 inc VAT badge fee at checkout, but nothing is charged yet. Our team usually reviews applications within one working day. If you're approved, we take the payment and email your badge ticket. If not, the hold is released and you pay nothing.
