We work with our local authorities and emergency services providers to agree daily capacities within the Showground that we must adhere to as a condition of our licensing. Asking Members to select their days in advance, allows us to ensure we stay within the capacities set. It also allows us to resource correctly including security, cleaning and waste and staff etc. RHASS are working hard to keep costs down, and sending tickets to all 16,500 Members who may or may not be attending is a substantial cost. Doing this also leaves us open to Member benefits being misused.

30 May 2025 is the last day for selecting the days you will be attending the Show. This is the last day to use the Member benefit of attending the Royal Highland Show without incurring an administration fee.  Any requests received after this date, and before the final deadline of 6 June will incur a £30 administration fee. This allows time for your ticket to be sent to you in plenty of time for the Show.

Due to the high number of late requests received after the deadline in previous years, we bring in temporary Members of staff to fulfil these requests which costs the Society tens of thousands of pounds. We have therefore introduced an administration fee to cover the cost of temporary staff to allow us to continue to process late requests within a reasonable timeframe.

Unfortunately the time period for you to use your Member benefit has now passed and we can no longer accept any late requests for Member tickets. As of 6 June, all tickets which have been selected by Members are sent to SEE tickets to be uploaded to the scanners. We cannot interrupt this process as risks tickets not being scannable at the gates.

Hundreds of Members missed the final deadline last year and in previous years. The cost of bringing in temporary staff to issue Member tickets at the Show is substantial. This also caused large queues at the Membership Office on the day, meaning staff were unable to help Members with other enquiries.

For 2025, RHASS are making substantial cost saving changes. One of these changes being the printing, posting and fulfilment of Member badges which is a substantial cost to the Society of over £40,000. Posting Member badges also leaves us open to misuse of claiming they have not been received, or have been lost.

We have removed the element of Member badges holding accreditation rights. These will not be posted out in advance of the Show, nor will they gain you access to any areas of the Show. Your Member ticket will be scanned at both the gates and the Members area.

Should you wish, you can collect a Members badge at the Show, and collection points will be communicated in advance of your visit. Some may wish to collect to wear or simply keep as a piece of memorabilia. 

These will be available via www.royalhighlandshow.org.uk as of 22 April. Members will be sent an email on this day with a link including a discount code.

These will be available via RHASS l Member Account  as of 17 March. Members will be sent an email on this day with a link and full information on how to buy. Please remember: Members Village Guest passes allow access to the Members Village only, and your guest will also need to purchase an entry ticket.

No, all car parking tickets must be bought in advance. Tickets must be downloaded, ready for scanning on arrival to speed up the process of allocating spaces. Car parking tickets can be bought via the link;
