Editors Presale 2027: How to Get Tickets, Country by Country

Why the Editors presale ended before most people noticed

A sale announced in spring for dates in late winter gives two things: time and uncertainty. The time is obvious. The uncertainty is that in a ten-month gap, line-ups, venues and even dates can change, and that fans who bought early may later want to transfer or sell tickets. In our records the Editors sale is described simply as on sale now since 1 May 2026, with no separate artist or partner windows listed. We do not claim that none existed; we say that our data does not document them. For a fan who missed it, the practical conclusion is that the good news is in the details. Mid-sized venues do not usually sell out in the first hour, and many keep tickets for months. The best approach is to check each date's seller page and compare the choice. For some dates, such as London at the Brixton Academy, the demand is greater. For others, like Nottingham's Rock City or Southampton's Guildhall, the room is smaller and the supply is shorter. Read our UK presale guide for how British sellers handle returns and fees.

O2 venues are not O2 Priority: an Editors presale misunderstanding

Several dates are at venues with O2 in their names: O2 Academy Glasgow, O2 City Hall Newcastle, O2 Apollo Manchester, O2 Academy Leeds, O2 Academy Brixton and O2 Guildhall Southampton. It is natural to assume that the O2 Priority scheme applies, but the venue name is a sponsorship, and the Priority scheme is a separate benefit for customers of the O2 mobile network. Whether a tour offers a Priority window is up to the promoter and the network, and our data does not show one for Editors. This matters because fans sometimes wait for a window that never existed. If a Priority window does appear for a tour, it is announced by the network and the promoter, with a date and time. In the absence of such an announcement, the correct route is the ordinary one: the artist's list, the venue's list, then general sale. Our O2 Priority guide explains how the scheme works and which tours it normally covers, so you can tell when it applies and when it does not.

Independent venues and the Editors presale: Vicar Street, Ulster Hall and Rock City

Not every date is in a chain venue. Vicar Street in Dublin, the Ulster Hall in Belfast and Rock City in Nottingham are independent rooms with their own character and their own ticket routes. Vicar Street is a well-known Dublin theatre venue with a seated and standing layout, Ulster Hall is a historic concert hall in Belfast, and Rock City is a long-established rock club in Nottingham. Independent venues often run their own mailing lists, and a subscriber may hear of extra dates or released tickets before the general public. They may also sell directly through the box office. If you want to buy for one of these dates, visit the venue's website and see what options it offers, then compare them with the national seller. The venue presale guide explains the idea in detail, and the Irish presale guide covers the Dublin sale. Belfast is in the UK, so prices are in pounds, while Dublin is in the Republic, so prices are in euro.

Reading the Editors presale tour map: nine rooms, nine different demands

The tour map runs Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, London and Southampton in thirteen days. Each room has a different capacity and a different local audience. London is the largest market, and Manchester's O2 Apollo is a big theatre-style room. Southampton, Nottingham and Leeds are smaller. Dublin and Belfast are the only Irish dates and draw from the whole island. If you are flexible, compare the rooms. A smaller city may have cheaper tickets, better availability and a shorter journey home. A larger one may have more choice of seats and better transport. For travellers, a weekend date is usually the first to run low, and weekdays offer more tickets. Our UK calendar page shows how on-sales cluster in Britain, and the Irish calendar does the same for Ireland. Whatever you choose, read the seat map and any notes about restricted views before you pay.

Standing, seated and accessible tickets for an Editors presale

Indie tours in academies and halls often mix standing and seated tickets. The floor is typically standing, with a balcony or circle seated. Prices differ, and the view from a balcony seat can be better than a poor position on a crowded floor. Some rooms, such as the Manchester Apollo, have a large seated area. Others, such as Rock City, are mostly standing. Accessibility is booked separately in most British venues. A disabled customer or a carer can usually apply for an accessible ticket through the seller or the venue, often with proof of eligibility. Numbers are limited and the process can take time, so start early. Ask about step-free access, viewing platforms and companion seats. If a date is sold out for ordinary tickets, accessible ones may still be available, and the venue can advise. The earlier you ask, the more options you will have.

Buying from another fan: Editors presale tickets and resale rules

With ten months to go, some fans who bought in May will find that their plans have changed. Resale is a normal part of this, and the rules differ across the countries on this tour. In Britain, many sellers offer an official exchange or return service, and the law on resale has features that vary by platform. In Ireland, there are specific provisions about reselling tickets for large events, which a buyer should check before relying on any source. We describe these differences neutrally on our resale rules page, and we recommend that you start with the original seller's own tool, if there is one. Check the price against the face value, check the name on the ticket and keep the confirmation email. Do not rely on a message from a stranger who contacts you out of the blue. If you are the seller, notify the original seller promptly, since many have fixed deadlines for returns.

Preparing for added dates and the next Editors presale

If the tour sells well, the band may add dates in the same cities or new ones. That would probably come with a short artist list window and a quick general sale. To be ready, join the artist's list for the UK and Ireland, join the mailing lists of the venues you like and keep your seller account in order. A saved card and a correct address take the stress out of the sale. Codes are not something this site shares, and a place in line is never promised. The alerts we send tell you the date, the local time and the platform for any new window, and nothing else. The form on this page is the way to get those notices. And when a new date is announced, take a minute to read the announcement for the details: the sale hour, the seller and the ticket limit are all in it.

A venue-by-venue Editors presale checklist for the nine dates

Because the tour has been on sale since spring, the most useful thing to do now is to check each venue in turn. Start with the city closest to you and open the seller's page for that date. Look at the seat map and the price range, and note whether the page says tickets are available, limited or sold out. Then repeat for the next two nearest cities. The goal is to know the position before you decide, instead of finding out in a rush. For each venue, look for the practical details that affect your night. Is the floor standing or seated? What is the age policy? What time do doors open, and is there a support act? Are there any restrictions on re-entry? Where can you leave a coat, and is there a cloakroom charge? Are there accessible entrances, and how are they booked? Most of these are on the venue's website, and some are on the seller's page under event information. Finally, check the transport. Many of these venues are in city centres with good rail links, but late-night trains from Southampton, Nottingham or Leeds may leave before the show ends. Plan your return before you buy a ticket, and if you are staying overnight, look for a cancellable hotel booking. A tidy plan for one date is better than an ambitious one for three.

Editors presale FAQ

A tour that has been on sale for months raises practical questions about what is left and how to find it. The answers below use the data in our records and say plainly when something is not documented. The presale FAQ holds the site-wide rules on limits, queues and returns, which also apply to Editors shows. Treat these as a snapshot of late October 2026 and check the seller's page for your date before you act. For example, many fans want to know whether to wait for a presale that may never come, or whether to buy now. Our advice is to buy when you see a seat you are happy with at a price you accept, because mid-sized rooms can fill without warning.

Is there still an Editors presale for the 2027 tour?

Our records show general sale from 1 May 2026 and no separate presale, so there is no presale to join for the announced dates. A new Editors presale would only appear if the band added dates. Use the alert form on this page to be told, and check each venue's seller page for tickets that remain. If more dates are added, the first sign will normally be an artist announcement, followed by a short list window and a general sale within days. Join the artist's list for the UK and Ireland in advance, and keep your seller accounts in good order so that nothing delays you. It is also worth noting that the venues differ in capacity, so the speed at which they sell out varies.

Does O2 Priority apply to the Editors presale?

Our data does not show an O2 Priority window for Editors. Several venues have O2 in their names, but that is sponsorship and does not mean a Priority presale exists. If one is announced, the network and the promoter will give the date and time. That does not rule out one appearing later, for example for an added date. Priority windows are normally announced a few days in advance by the network, and they require the app and a customer account, so check your eligibility if you want to use one. Several of the O2-named venues sell through the main national platform, and some through their own box office, so compare both.

Do I need a code for the Editors presale?

A code from this website is not part of the Editors process. Access to a presale comes from the artist's list, a venue list or a partner, and genuine invitations lead to the seller's own page. Be careful with any message offering a code for payment. Access depends on an account, a list or a relationship with a business, and cannot be passed on by a third party, so the only safe route is the seller's own page. If you are on the artist's or a venue's list, the official email will give the date and the time, and the link will go to the seller's page. Check that the address of the sender is the seller's own.

Which Editors presale date is in Northern Ireland?

Belfast, at the Ulster Hall on 1 March 2027. Dublin, on 28 February, is in the Republic of Ireland. Belfast tickets are priced in pounds and Dublin tickets in euro, so check the currency and your card's foreign transaction fees if you are buying across the border. Both venues have their own box offices as well as the national sellers. The Ulster Hall is a historic concert hall in the city centre, and Vicar Street is a well-known Dublin theatre with seated and standing areas. Check the seller's page for each date, and compare the final price in the right currency.
