Kings of Leon Presale 2027: How to Get Tickets, Country by Country

Tuesday 27 October: the last Kings of Leon presale day in Australia and New Zealand

The Southern Hemisphere tour is a run of outdoor shows in summer: Auckland Domain on 24 February 2027, Centennial Park in Sydney on 28 February, Brisbane Showgrounds on 3 March and Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on 5 March. For Auckland and Brisbane, our record gives a Thursday 22 October presale from 12pm local time, which combined an album pre-order offer with Mastercard and Vodafone presales, followed by a Live Nation presale on Friday 23 October at 12pm. The Sydney entry says its presale time was still to be confirmed. General sale is Tuesday 27 October at 1pm, via Ticketmaster. A notice for outdoor sites: sun, heat and rain can affect the day, so pack accordingly and read the entry policy for bottles and umbrellas.

If you are reading this before that Tuesday, you have one chance left for each show, so prepare as for a major onsale. Log in to Ticketmaster Australia or New Zealand early, save a payment card, and decide which show and ticket type you want. Outdoor shows often have a general admission area and a reserved seating area with different counters, so read the description before you queue. Check your time zone as well, since 1pm in Sydney is a very different hour in Auckland, which is two hours ahead of Sydney during the southern summer, and in Europe it is the middle of the night.

Kings of Leon presale by album pre-order: how the London window worked

The London entry in our record describes a presale on Wednesday 7 October 2026 at 9:30am BST for fans who had pre-ordered the new album O My Beloved by 2:59pm BST on Tuesday 6 October. This is a common modern model: the ticket window is tied to a purchase, so the album store, not the ticketing company, is the gate. The fan receives a link or a code after the order, usually by email, which is valid for a single sale and a limited number of tickets. The order has to be placed before a deadline, and the deadline can be very short, because the tour is announced and the cut-off falls within a day or two.

The strength of the model is that it rewards listeners, but it also puts a financial step in front of the ticket. A fan has to decide to buy an album without knowing whether they will get tickets, and the album purchase is not refundable merely because the sale was difficult. If you want to understand the idea in general, our album presale guide sets out typical conditions, such as whether physical, digital or bundle orders qualify. Always read the exact terms for the offer you intend to use, and keep the order confirmation until after the show. Also note that bundles, vinyl and signed editions may or may not qualify, so confirm before ordering.

London, a second night and the Kings of Leon presale on 2 and 3 July

The O2 hosts Kings of Leon on 2 and 3 July 2027, and our record says that the second night was added due to demand after general sale on 9 October. This is a useful signal for any fan: an added night is often released with little or no presale, and its tickets appear when the first night has sold through. If you missed the 9 October morning, the second date may be the better option, and the first date may return seats later as production holds are released. Ticketmaster UK is the named seller, with the official venue outlet as the alternative.

For British buyers, the usual points apply: prices should be displayed with fees included, the venue's official resale tool can allow tickets to be returned at face value, and accessible seats are sold through a separate process. Our UK guide and resale rules guide describe the differences from other countries. If you plan to travel from the continent, check the date of the Dublin show, on 22 June, as an alternative, and remember that it is a separate sale on a separate Ticketmaster site. Check the door times and the age policy as well, since these are published on the venue page and are sometimes updated close to the date.

Dublin and the Kings of Leon presale that wasn't: a direct general sale

Dublin followed the simplest model. The 3Arena show on Tuesday 22 June 2027 went on general sale on Friday 23 October 2026 at 10am Irish time, via Ticketmaster Ireland, with prices from €88.80 including fees according to the record. No presale is recorded. There may have been newsletter or venue lists that gave early access, but nothing is documented in our sources, and we do not guess. For a fan, the useful number is the starting price, which includes fees, a clear contrast to the sales that show a base price and add fees at the end. It is also worth comparing that figure with the lowest price shown on other sellers, which will usually include fees only at the last step.

Because the Dublin sale was only two days before this page, the best seats are likely gone, but a handful of returns and releases are normal in the first week. Check the Ticketmaster page at different times, including late evening, when abandoned baskets are released. The Ireland guide explains the local conventions for resale and transfer. If you cannot find a ticket at the price you want, consider whether London on 2 or 3 July could replace it, since the flight or ferry from Dublin is short. Pay attention to the entrance and the accessible seating arrangements, which the venue publishes in advance and which can change.

Mastercard, Vodafone and Live Nation: the Kings of Leon presale gates in Australasia

Three gates appear in the Australasian record. Mastercard (with Westpac as the issuer for New Zealand cardholders in Auckland) is a card-based offer, meaning you must pay with an eligible card issued by the named bank. Vodafone is a telecom customer programme, where access is tied to your mobile account. Live Nation is a promoter window open to people on its lists or in its customer base. Each has its own deadline and rules, and each can be used only once per sale. A fan with several eligible products can try more than one window, which improves the odds. Remember that the bank card must be the one you pay with, and the telecom account must be active, so check both before the sale starts.

The record says that the Auckland and Brisbane entries share all three windows, while the Sydney entry lists only the general sale and a presale time that was to be confirmed. That is a reminder that the structure varies by show, even within a single tour. Our guides to Mastercard presales and promoter presales explain the usual terms. If you are in Australia, our Australia page and New Zealand page describe the platforms and consumer rules for resale. Within a tour of this kind, the safest assumption is that each show has its own timetable until the official page says otherwise.

How to prepare for the Kings of Leon presale of the next album cycle

The band tends to pair albums and tours closely, so the next announcement will probably follow the same logic: an album campaign, a pre-order link, a presale that depends on it, and a general sale a few days later. Prepare by choosing the formats that you would buy anyway, by joining the mailing list of the official store, and by registering with Ticketmaster in each country. A card with a presale programme can be a second route, and a telecom or bank may offer a third, though each has its own eligibility rules and none of them is guaranteed. The best habit is to read each announcement from top to bottom, including the small print at the bottom, where deadlines are often hidden.

On the day, keep your device charged, use a stable connection and join the queue early. If a sale starts at 9:30am in London and 12pm in Auckland, there is no overlap, so decide which market you will try first. Afterwards, check your confirmation immediately. Our queue explainer shows how to behave in a waiting room, and the alert form on this page lets us tell you when a window opens, without any promise of access. After you buy, check the delivery method and the transfer rules, because they decide whether you can pass a ticket to a friend. Read each announcement in full.

Kings of Leon presale FAQ

These answers follow the network record as of 25 October 2026. The record is detailed for London, Dublin, Auckland, Brisbane and Sydney, and it gives specific times and a starting price for Dublin. We avoid adding prices for other cities because the record does not give them, and we avoid guesses about quantities. If you spot a difference between our wording and the official ticket page, the ticket page is right. The alert form on this page is the easiest way to learn about extra dates, further windows and updates, and we never publish or sell presale codes. We update them when the record changes, and we mark anything uncertain clearly, so please treat the dates below as a snapshot, taken on the day we wrote the page, and check the ticket page before acting on any detail. The alert form is the quickest way to hear about changes, and it costs nothing.

What was the Kings of Leon presale for London?

It was an album pre-order presale on Wednesday 7 October 2026 at 9:30am BST. To qualify, a fan had to pre-order the new album O My Beloved by 2:59pm BST on Tuesday 6 October. General sale followed on Friday 9 October at 9:30am BST via Ticketmaster UK. The record also notes that a second night at The O2 was added because of demand. The windows are now closed, but returns and releases can appear, and the second night is worth checking separately. For a future tour, treat any album campaign as a possible gateway, and read the deadline carefully, since it may expire within a day of the announcement. Keep the order email and the access link in a safe place until the sale is over, because some sellers ask for them if a problem arises. Remember too that general sale times are the same for everyone, so a presale link gives no advantage once the public sale has begun.

When is the Kings of Leon general sale in Australia and New Zealand?

Tuesday 27 October 2026 at 1pm local time, via Ticketmaster, according to the record. Before that, a presale ran on Thursday 22 October from 12pm local time for fans with an album pre-order, a Mastercard or Vodafone offer, with a Westpac NZ Mastercard presale in Auckland. A Live Nation presale followed on Friday 23 October at 12pm for the Auckland and Brisbane entries. The Sydney entry gives the general sale and says that the presale time was to be confirmed. Check the local time carefully, because it is different in each city and in your own country. Set a second alarm for the general sale, since some fans forget it once the presale has passed, and keep your ticket account open in one browser tab only. If you are buying for friends who live in another city, agree beforehand who will buy which seats, and keep the group small enough to fit within the order limit, which is stated on the ticket page and applies to the whole sale.

Can I use a Kings of Leon presale code for Dublin?

Our record shows no presale for Dublin, only a general sale on Friday 23 October at 10am Irish time via Ticketmaster Ireland, with prices from €88.80 including fees. So there is no code to look for, and a message offering one should be treated with suspicion. Official codes, when they exist, arrive through the artist's list, a bank, a telecom or a promoter, and we never publish them. If you want a ticket for the Dublin show now, check the Ticketmaster page regularly for returns and look at the London dates as an alternative, which may be more practical for fans who can travel. A genuine invitation always comes from a sender you can verify and leads to a ticketing site you already know. If a message offers a code in exchange for money, delete it. Presale access for this tour was attached to an album order, a bank card, a telecom account or a promoter list, none of which can be bought separately, and anyone selling a so-called code is selling something that does not exist in that form. Our alert form does the work of telling you when official windows open.

How many tickets can I buy in the Kings of Leon presale?

The record does not give a limit for any city, so we cannot quote one. Limits are set by the seller for each sale and are shown on the ticket page, and presale limits are often the same as, or lower than, the general sale limit. For outdoor festival-style shows in Australia and New Zealand, limits of four to eight tickets per order are common, but this is a habit and not a rule. Decide your group size before the queue releases you, and check who will pay. Do not use several accounts to exceed the limit, because orders can be cancelled. Keep screenshots of the order summary before you pay. Orders that exceed the limit, or that appear to come from automated tools, can be cancelled by the seller without refund of fees in some cases, so stay within the stated number and read the conditions of the sale before you start the queue.
