A new addition this year is the Southern Lights Spectacular, described as an Australian-first, it's a 30-minute nightly light show incorporating drones, lasers, and special effects.

"We expect about half a million people come to the show each year so one in every three South Australians on average," Royal Adelaide Show chief executive Will Rayner said.

While the price of children's tickets remains unchanged, adult tickets have increased by $1, and the weekday family ticket price has risen by $3.50.
