Megadeth Presale Information
This tour has a healthy spread of presales across most UK dates — more ways in before general sale opens means more opportunities to secure your spot. Here's a breakdown of every presale type running across the UK leg:
Cyber Army Presale
Opens: Tuesday 4 August 2026, 10:00 BST (all UK dates) This is the earliest presale on the UK tour. To access it, you need to be a member of the Cyber Army — Megadeth's official fan club. Sign up via the official Megadeth website before the presale opens.
Artist Presale
Opens: Wednesday 5 August 2026, 10:00 BST (all UK dates) To access this presale, you need to be subscribed to the Megadeth mailing list. If you're not already signed up, head to the official Megadeth website and register before the presale goes live.
O2 Priority Presale
Opens: Wednesday 5 August 2026, 10:00 BST (Belfast, London, Nottingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Birmingham, Leeds) Available to O2 or Virgin Media customers. Access it through the O2 Priority app or website. This runs at the same time as the Artist Presale, so if you qualify for both, you've got two routes in on Wednesday morning.

Worth noting — by the time you read this, the newsletter may already have been sent out, so sign up sooner rather than later.
Live Nation Presale
