Presale Information
There are multiple presale windows before general sale opens on Friday 16th October 2026 at 10:00. Having several routes in is genuinely useful — if you miss one, there's often another right behind it.
Artist Presale
Opens: Tuesday, 13 October 2026 at 10:00 (all dates) This is the earliest presale available across the whole tour. To qualify, you need to be a Nickelback club member. Sign up through the official Nickelback channels if you're not already registered. Note that membership may need to be in place before the presale opens, so don't leave it until the morning.
O2 Priority Presale
Opens: Wednesday, 14 October 2026 at 10:00 (Leeds, London, Birmingham, Manchester) Available to O2 or Virgin Media customers. Access is through the O2 Priority app or website. No code needed from us — your customer status is the qualifier.
OVO Presale
Opens: Wednesday, 14 October 2026 at 10:00 (Glasgow only) For OVO or SSE Energy Services customers. You'll need to create an OVO Live account to access this one.
Co-op Presale
Opens: Wednesday, 14 October 2026 at 10:00 (Manchester only) Co-op membership is free, and you'll need to use the Co-op app to access this presale.
Live Nation Presale
Opens: Thursday, 15 October 2026 at 10:00 (all dates) A free Live Nation account is all you need. Worth having set up well in advance, with payment details saved to speed things up on the day.
Gigs in Scotland Presale
Opens: Thursday, 15 October 2026 at 10:00 (Glasgow only) A free Gigs in Scotland account qualifies you for this one.
Venue Presale
Opens: Thursday, 15 October 2026 at 10:00 (London, Birmingham, Glasgow) Sign up to the venue's newsletter to qualify. Bear in mind that presale communications may already have been sent by the time you subscribe, so the sooner you sign up, the better.
Spotify Presale
Opens: Thursday, 15 October 2026 at 12:00 (all dates) This presale is invite-only and requires a code sent by Spotify to recognised top fans of the artist. It's not something you can apply for directly.
For all presale links and up-to-date timings in one place, head to the relevant Nickelback event page on Evnt Central.
New Dates Could Be Added
Additional dates are a regular occurrence on major tours like this. Venues fill up, demand pushes promoters to add shows, and new dates often appear with very little notice. Following Nickelback on Evnt Central means you'll get an instant notification the moment any new date goes live — which puts you at the front of the queue before most people even know the show exists. The best way to do that is through the Evnt Central app, which sends real-time alerts straight to your phone. Download it at evntcentral.com/app.
How to Maximise Your Chances of Getting Tickets
-
Sign up to the Nickelback fan club now. The Artist Presale is the first window to open, on Tuesday 13th October at 10:00. Membership needs to be active before then, so don't wait.
-
Check which presales you already qualify for. O2 or Virgin Media customer? OVO or SSE customer? Co-op member? You may already have presale access without realising it.
-
Set up your accounts in advance. Live Nation and Gigs in Scotland (for Glasgow) accounts are free. Have them ready, with payment details saved, before sale day.
-
Follow the event on Evnt Central for a free presale reminder. You'll get a notification before each sale window opens, so nothing sneaks past you. Head to the individual event pages linked above and hit follow.
-
Be online and ready a few minutes early. Queue systems often open before the official sale time. Being in the queue at 09:55 is always safer than logging on at 10:01.
