Almost Monday Presale 2027: How to Get Tickets, Country by Country

What the September Almost Monday presale window really was

Network data shows that pre-sale sales on the Irish and Belgian dates took place between 16 and 18 September 2026, with the general sale opening on Friday 18 September, and the announcement notes that tickets are available through the official outlets for each venue. That pattern, a presale of a day or two running into the public sale, is typical of club tours where the artist's team wants regular listeners to have the first shot without creating a long gap that would drive people to wait. It is not a full ladder of fan club, card and promoter windows. It is a common pattern for artists at this level, and it keeps the first days of sale manageable for the venues.

The detail matters because it tells you what an Almost Monday presale looked like in practice: a short, mailing-list-style head start, followed immediately by the open sale. No specific type is recorded, so we do not claim there was a Verified Fan step or a bank offer. If you were not on a list, you were in the same queue as everyone else on the Friday, and you should read the remaining sections with that in mind. Our artist presale guide explains how this kind of newsletter window usually works. Think of it as a head start rather than a separate tier.

Almost Monday presale lessons for the UK and Ireland shows

Dublin opens the tour on 20 January, followed by Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and London between 22 and 27 January. For the UK and Ireland the recorded platform is Ticketmaster, together with the official outlets for each venue, and the general sale date is the same 18 September. These are small rooms, and rooms of this size normally sell quietly: there is no dramatic queue, but the cheaper standing spaces can vanish within hours, and a Friday or Saturday night in London or Manchester goes first. Doors for gigs of this size often open early in the evening, so check the schedule before booking trains.

If you are still looking, the most productive step is to open the venue's own page rather than a general search, because venues are the first to publish any returned or reallocated tickets. In Britain, check whether the listing is for the right city and date, and use the current UK presale guide and resale rules to understand what limits might apply if you buy from another fan. The Irish date is covered in the Irish guide. Local rail strikes and winter weather can also affect travel, so building in a buffer day is sensible for the longer journeys.

Germany, Benelux and France: the Almost Monday presale beyond Britain

After London on 27 January the tour crosses to Antwerp on 29 January, Paris on 30 January and Amsterdam on 31 January, and then loops through Germany: Cologne on 2 February, Hamburg on 8 February, Berlin on 9 February and Munich on 15 February. In continental Europe the recorded wording is simply that tickets have been on sale since 18 September via the official ticketing outlets, which is the usual way of saying a set of national systems sold the allocation in parallel. Prices are normally shown with fees at the last step of checkout, so compare the final total rather than the headline figure.

The important habit to learn here is that German clubs, Dutch and Belgian venues and Paris rooms all publish their own ticket page, and the page of the venue in question is almost always the most reliable one. In Germany, expect prices to include fees and, for some clubs, a personalised ticket to deter touting; in France and the Low Countries, a booking fee is generally added at checkout. Treat any site that asks for payment outside a normal card checkout with caution. If the page offers a seated option, remember that the cheapest tickets are normally standing, and capacity there is the first to run out.

Scandinavia and Central Europe on the Almost Monday presale route

Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm fall on 4, 5 and 6 February, then the tour heads to Warsaw, Prague and Vienna on 11, 12 and 13 February. Some of these are very small rooms, including a studio space in Copenhagen, which means that capacity is genuinely limited and a sell-out can happen before the general sale has even been widely noticed. Scandinavian clubs normally sell through national platforms, with ticket pages in English as well as the local language, so language is rarely a barrier. The same advice applies to the single-night stops, where a miss means a long wait for the next visit.

Poland and Czechia deserve a currency warning: prices will be shown in local money, and a card fee or conversion can alter the total. In Austria, the Flex in Vienna is a well-known venue with its own system, and the same applies to Warsaw's Palladium. Whichever city you choose, take a screenshot of your order and arrive early, because door staff at small venues often start checking tickets and ID well before the support act begins. Bring photo ID in case the venue checks names against the order, which some clubs do for popular nights. Keep your ticket on your phone and as a paper copy if the venue allows it.

Spain, Portugal and Switzerland: finishing the Almost Monday presale trail

The last block of dates is Zurich on 16 February, Barcelona on 18th, Madrid on 19th and Lisbon on 20th. Spanish clubs such as Razzmatazz 2 and Sala Wagon sell through the main national ticketing sites and the venue box office, and Lisbon's second room at LAV has its own page. Price information in southern Europe is usually fully inclusive, which makes comparison simple, and cancellations are only possible if the show itself is moved or cancelled. Note that rooms of this size sometimes run an over-18 or over-14 policy, so check age rules for younger fans before paying. That way a dead battery never ends your night.

Switzerland is the one market where the face value is much higher than elsewhere, and where a plain train ride from Germany can be cheaper than a local ticket plus accommodation. If you are building a trip around several cities, remember that the final week sits in February, when winter weather can complicate travel. A Spanish presale guide is available for readers who want the national picture, and both Iberian shows are close enough together to combine in a single weekend. If a date moves to a bigger room because of demand, existing tickets are normally honoured and the new capacity is released on the same page.

Almost Monday presale alerts, returns and last-minute tickets

For a tour that has already been on sale for over a month, the most valuable information is when and where returns appear. In clubs, a fraction of the allocation is usually held back for production, guest lists and sponsors, and a share of that comes back to sale in the last two or three weeks. A venue may announce this through its own newsletter or social channel, and the box office can also tell you whether the show is genuinely sold out or merely sold out online. Nothing about this schedule suggests it is out of the ordinary, but the dense February schedule means a missed show can be hard to replace.

Use the alert form on this page or tap 🔔 Alert me next to a tour, and we will tell you when something changes, whether it is an added date, a moved venue or a new sale window. We never publish or sell codes, and nothing on this site gives access to tickets directly. What we can do is say when and where an official sale is likely to appear, so that you do not have to keep checking every platform by yourself every day. Allow time for border checks or flight delays if you combine two countries, because club doors rarely wait.

Almost Monday presale FAQ

Here are the questions we hear most often about this run, answered from the information recorded for the tour at the end of October 2026. If a date, platform or time changes, the order page of the venue will always be the final authority, so check it before you spend money on travel or accommodation. The tour is a compact run of small and mid-sized rooms, which changes the questions people ask. In big stadium tours the big issue is queues, codes and fan verification, but at this scale it is whether any tickets are left, whether the page you are on is the real one, and how to react if a date is moved. We have therefore kept the answers practical and tied to the dates recorded for the tour. Where the data says nothing, for instance about the type of presale, we say so openly instead of inventing a mechanism, and where the answer depends on the country, we point you to the relevant guide on this site so that you can read the details at your own pace.

Was there a special Almost Monday presale for fans?

The data shows a short pre-sale window on 16 to 18 September 2026 for the Irish and Belgian dates, running straight into general sale on Friday 18 September. It does not name a type such as a fan club, a card issuer or Verified Fan, so we do not describe one. If you missed it, you are in the same position as most fans who wait for the public sale, and the sensible next step is to check the venue's own page for returned seats and to follow the guidance in the sections above for your country. It is also worth knowing that presales of this length are often tied to the artist's own mailing list or to a venue newsletter, and the link is sent only to subscribers. We cannot confirm that was the case here, and we never publish or sell access codes, but the habit of joining the lists of the artists and rooms you care about is a simple way of hearing first about the next one, whether that is an added show or the next tour altogether.

Where does the Almost Monday presale lead in the UK?

The recorded platform for the UK and Ireland is Ticketmaster, along with the official outlets for each venue, and general sale opened on 18 September 2026. Some small halls also list tickets through their own box offices, and the price can differ slightly depending on fees. Always begin from the venue page for Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol or London, and compare the total including fees with what you see on other pages before you pay. If you are travelling from another country, it is wise to check the cancellation policy before buying anything, because a small-venue ticket is rarely refundable unless the show is cancelled or rescheduled, and a train or flight booked in advance may cost more than the ticket itself. Whichever route you take, compare the total price including fees and the cancellation terms before you confirm, since the cheapest-looking headline price is not always the cheapest final total, and keep the confirmation email until the night of the show.

Is an Almost Monday presale still possible in Germany or Scandinavia?

It depends on the city, but small rooms often release tickets late. Hamburg, Berlin and Munich sit in February, and a few seats usually return in the last fortnight. Copenhagen's studio space and some Nordic rooms are tiny, so sell-outs are more definitive there. The best approach is to follow the venue's own channels and to set an alert here, so that you hear about a release the day it happens rather than a week later. Checking the platform's guarantee, the exact seat or zone and the date takes a minute. If something looks vague or too cheap for a date that is meant to be sold out, step away, because genuine resale listings carry enough detail for a buyer to match them with the venue plan. It is also sensible to verify the date and time on the ticket itself once it arrives, as small-venue shows occasionally shift their doors or support slots.

After the Almost Monday presale, is buying from a fan safe?

It can be, provided that the listing shows the exact date, venue and seat or standing zone, and that you pay through a platform that protects the buyer. Read the resale rules for your country first, because some countries cap prices and others require named tickets. A genuine seller will be happy to answer questions, and a good platform will refund you if entry fails, so keep every record of the transaction until after the show. Fans who prefer a more hands-off approach can also ask the venue about waiting lists, where they exist, and sign up for our alert so that the first signal of a return or added show reaches them quickly. A final check of the venue's own page the day before travel costs a minute and prevents most last-minute surprises. If a show does sell out, ask whether the venue keeps a waiting list or posts returns on its own page, and remember that official exchanges are usually quicker than random messages.
