Foo Fighters Presale 2027: How to Get Tickets, Country by Country

How the February Foo Fighters presale ladder was built

The record describes pre-sales through Telstra, Spark and the promoter, all completed in February 2026, before the general on-sale on Wednesday 25 February. That is a three-part ladder typical of large Australian and New Zealand tours: a telecom partner for each country, plus the promoter's own list. Telstra is Australia's biggest mobile operator and runs a customer rewards programme that includes concert presales; Spark plays a similar role in New Zealand. The promoter presale usually goes to people who joined the tour mailing list, which for a stadium tour of this scale is often the largest group of all. Check the terms of any telecom offer before you rely on it in future.

The point for readers today is that each rung of the ladder was closed by the time general sale began, so nothing is left to unlock. The exact days of the three windows are not in our data, only the month, and we will not guess. What you can do is understand the system for next time: telecom presales are tied to an account or an app, require you to be a customer, and are limited per order, while the promoter list requires a sign-up. Our promoter presale guide and the Australian presale guide describe the usual workflow. If you are new to the platform, run through the sign-up process once in advance.

AXS and the venue box offices: where a Foo Fighters presale ticket lives

For the general sale, the record names AXS and the venues' own box offices. AXS is a major platform for stadium and arena shows in Australia and New Zealand, and its tickets are delivered through a mobile app with a rotating barcode that stops screenshots from working. That is an important detail: a stadium ticket on AXS is tied to an account, and transfers happen inside the app. If you are a first-time user, create an account well before you need it, add a payment card and verify your phone, so that you are not struggling with passwords on the day.

The venue box offices are the other seller. Stadium box offices often handle accessible tickets, hospitality and group bookings, and they can sometimes help with problems that a platform cannot. If you are in the area, a visit or call during business hours may be the best way to learn whether any tickets are being held. Ask specifically about the date you want, about the number of tickets per order and about any restrictions on transfer. For a clearer picture of how fees are displayed on Australian platforms, read the notes in the Australian guide. Check the venue's schedule of shuttle services as well.

Christchurch and Auckland: the New Zealand Foo Fighters presale dates

New Zealand hosts two of the three remaining shows. One New Zealand Stadium in Christchurch, on Tuesday 19 January, is a purpose-built outdoor stadium that opened in the city after the earthquakes, and its concert capacity is in the tens of thousands. Western Springs in Auckland, on Friday 22 January, is a historic speedway venue and park that hosts the biggest outdoor concerts in the country, with a grass field and a natural bowl. Tickets for both are sold on AXS with the Spark presale having come first, according to the record. Western Springs has limited parking, so public transport is the best option.

The two venues feel different. Christchurch is a covered-style stadium with a modern layout, while Western Springs is open and informal, with a licensed all-ages setting for the event, according to listings. January is summer in New Zealand, so sun protection and water are as important as a ticket, and the weather can change quickly. Plan transport carefully: both venues close nearby roads on show nights, and shuttle services run from the city. Our New Zealand presale guide explains how local mailing lists and platforms usually work. Pack for sudden changes in the weather, including rain, which is common in Auckland even in summer, and bring a light jacket for the evening.

Perth's HBF Park: closing the Foo Fighters presale tour

The last show is at HBF Park in Perth on Monday 25 January 2027. It is a rectangular stadium in the east of the city, used for rugby and football as well as concerts, with good public transport links on event days. Because it is the last date and a Monday, it has a different feel from the Friday stadium shows in Auckland, with fewer fans travelling from other regions and perhaps more availability. The tour's last night often carries extra atmosphere, though that is impossible to measure in advance. Check the start time of the support acts, because stadium shows often begin early in the evening so that fans can leave before the last services.

Perth is also the farthest city in Australia from the others, which makes it a destination date for people from the east coast. January is the height of summer there, with temperatures regularly above thirty-five degrees, so hydration, shade and a plan for the long evening are important for a stadium show. Check the stadium's rules on bags, water bottles and re-entry. If you need accessible seating, contact the venue early, because the number of places is limited and allocated separately from the general sale. Late-night buses and trains can be crowded, so allow extra time and keep your phone charged for tickets and maps.

January stadium planning after the Foo Fighters presale

Once you have a ticket, the practical issues take over. Summer stadium concerts in the southern hemisphere mean heat, sun and long queues. Wear a hat, use sunscreen and bring only the items the stadium allows, as bag policies are strict. Standing pitch tickets involve a long wait in the sun before the show, while seated tickets in the stands may offer shade. Think about which kind of experience you prefer, and compare the face value for neighbouring blocks. Look at the stadium's rules before you pack, as many items are prohibited, including large bags, umbrellas and sometimes sealed bottles.

Accommodation is the other cost. Hotels near stadiums in Auckland, Christchurch and Perth are heavily booked on show nights, and January is also a holiday period in both countries, so prices are high. Book a refundable room as soon as you have your ticket, and consider staying slightly farther from the stadium with good public transport. If you are coming from overseas, check entry rules, including any electronic travel authority for Australia and New Zealand, well before you fly, since processing can take days. Remember that a heat-related illness can ruin a show, so take breaks in the shade and drink regularly.

Returns, resale and safety after the Foo Fighters presale

For a stadium that large, returns are a regular feature. Some are small, individual returns through the official AXS exchange; others are blocks released as the stage plan is finalised. A weekly check of the platform and the venue page, ideally on a weekday morning, is the best way to catch them. Be flexible about price and section, and understand that the cheapest standing tickets sell fastest and are the rarest to return. Check refundable options for flights and rooms until the ticket is secure. Also confirm cancellation terms with the airline and hotel. Keep your passport, visa and insurance documents together with the ticket confirmation when you travel.

If you buy from another person, use the official transfer in the AXS app, check that the price is close to face value and ignore any claim to have presale access. Australian and New Zealand law restricts some resale practices, and the rules differ by state, so read the resale rules guide and the terms of the platform. A genuine ticket arrives in your own account; a PDF or screenshot is not enough. Keep your receipts, and report any suspicious messages to the platform. Our alert form can tell you when an extra date or a release is announced. Treat the replies as a starting point for your own checks on the official sites rather than a final word. Where something in them is unclear, we recommend the box office as the quickest route to a reliable answer, since staff can see the real state of the sale, and they can tell you exactly what is allowed on the day, which is more than any guide can do.

Foo Fighters presale FAQ

The answers below rely on the sale information recorded in our network for the January 2027 dates, checked against a recent search of the tour announcement: pre-sales in February 2026 via Telstra, Spark and the promoter, and general sale on Wednesday 25 February 2026 via AXS and the venues' own box offices. We do not know the exact days of the pre-sales and will not invent them. The official order page and the venue box office are the final authority on dates, prices and ticket types. If you are not sure which telecom offers you qualify for, check the loyalty or rewards area of the provider's app and read the terms before the next announcement, because eligibility often depends on the plan. The promoter list is open to anyone and is usually the safest bet. Having both ready is the real equivalent of a presale code, because access is tied to an account and a list that you control, not to a secret that a stranger can sell.

When was the Foo Fighters presale?

The record says that the Telstra, Spark and promoter pre-sales ran in February 2026, before general sale on Wednesday 25 February 2026. The exact days are not in our data. All of those windows are complete, so the only way to buy now is through general sale remainders, returns or the official exchange. If you want to be ready for a future presale, join the promoter list and check whether you qualify for a telecom offer in your country. Perth is a long way from most fans' homes, so many people check the cost of a flight before they buy a ticket. Look at the total cost of the trip, including accommodation and transport, and compare it with the cost of seeing the tour in a closer city. If the show is on a Monday, you may need to take a day of leave, so check the work calendar before you commit. When you are ready, buy on the official platform and keep the confirmation.

Is there still a Foo Fighters presale for Perth?

No presale remains. HBF Park in Perth on 25 January 2027 went through the same February windows, and any tickets left are on general sale or in returns. Check AXS and the venue page, compare blocks and prices, and watch for releases in the weeks before the show. The Monday date may be calmer than a weekend night, which can help a late buyer. Auckland's show is on a Friday evening, so public transport is busy, and the city centre is crowded. Arrive early, bring a charged phone, and know which gate to use. If you are buying from overseas, check that your card is accepted in New Zealand dollars and that your bank will not block the payment. Contact your bank in advance, because stadium purchases are large and can trigger fraud checks. Compare the total cost of travel with the cost of seeing another date on the same tour.

After the Foo Fighters presale, where can I buy for Auckland?

The Auckland show at Western Springs on 22 January is sold on AXS and through the venue's channels. Look for returns, and ask whether the promoter has announced any additional ticket releases. Be prepared for transport restrictions on the night, and keep your ticket in the AXS app. Avoid buying from anyone who cannot make an in-app transfer. A genuine seller will transfer the ticket in the app, tell you the block and row, and be ready to talk to the platform if there is any dispute. Anyone who refuses these basic steps should be avoided, and you should keep all messages as evidence. Do not pay by bank transfer, cryptocurrency or gift card, because those methods cannot be reversed. If the price is much lower than face value, the offer is probably not genuine. Check the start times for the support acts at the stadium website. Small details like these decide whether the evening is relaxed or stressful.

How do I avoid Foo Fighters presale and resale problems?

Check that the platform guarantees entry, insist on an AXS transfer and compare the price with face value. Pay by card, keep your records and ignore offers of presale codes. If you have doubts, contact the box office with the order details before you pay. A final point is that the official exchange is built to reduce risk: tickets are cancelled and reissued to the new holder, so the old barcode stops working. That makes it the safest way to buy a ticket from another fan, and it protects the seller as well. Whenever you can, choose it over informal arrangements, even if the price looks slightly higher. If you still have doubts, keep the order reference and ask the box office to confirm that the ticket is valid and linked to the right account. Staff can usually check this in a minute. Be careful if a seller sends you a link to a different website for payment, because genuine transfers happen inside the original platform's app. Keep all records until after the show.
