FAQs

How much are concert tickets?

Concert ticket prices vary depending on the artist and venue, however our concert and tours hub offers a range of events – from tiny club shows to huge stadium dates – at a variety of prices for you to choose from and to suit every pocket.

How can I find concerts near me?

All the listings on the Concerts and Tours guide display dates, venues and cities. Split into six genre pages, events are listed in alphabetical order for an easy browsing experience to find the best live music entertainment near you.

What time do I need to be there? / What time does the show start?

Again, concert start times vary. Usually venue doors open between 17:00 and 19:00 in the evening at arena, club and theatre shows, with some bigger venues like stadiums and cricket pitches opening earlier – from 12:00 noon, or 16:00. Times are dependant on the number of acts performing.

What time will the gig finish?

For most concerts and shows, the curfew time is 23:00. However, this may vary.

I’m under 18 – can I still attend? Are there age restrictions?

Most shows allow attendees aged 16 and over, or 14 and over when accompanied by an adult. Concerts who operate different rules will usually state it on the event page.

Can I upgrade my show experience?

Yes, we offer a variety of ticket types, upsells and VIP options. From picnics to early entry passes, collector tickets, VIP experiences and much more.

Concerts can take place in a range of different venues, from small theatres to huge arenas. Whether it’s an intimate indoor gig or a headline spot on the main stage at a festival, join in the live music experience in multiple locations across the UK and abroad.

What about travel? Can I park my car there?

While every venue differs, most venues do offer visitor car parks, and taxi drop off points.
Many venues are also situated in city centres or surrounding areas which can be accessed via Train, bus and other forms of public transport.
