Malcolm Todd Presale 2027: How to Get Tickets, Country by Country

The first-timer: a Malcolm Todd presale lesson in account setup

If this is your first time buying a concert ticket online, the most important step happens before any sale: creating an account. Ticketmaster in the United Kingdom and Ticketmaster in Australia are separate sites, and AXS is a different company altogether, so a login on one will not work on another. Use a real email address you check often, confirm it, add a phone number, and save a payment card in the wallet. A sale record that says "general sale" means that anyone could buy at the same moment, with no early access to speed things up, and the people who succeed are those whose accounts were ready.

Since the tickets were released in September, the first-timer's task today is to look for returns. Open the event page for the show you can reach, check the number of tickets and the section, and if the page says "no tickets available" look for the official resale option, which often appears as a separate button. Official resale lists tickets at the price the first buyer paid and reissues the barcode to you, so you can trust it. Our page on resale rules explains the framework in plain terms. It also helps to learn how to read the event page: a greyed-out date may mean sold out, while a date marked limited availability usually means a handful of seats are left in specific sections, which is the moment to act without hesitation.

Parents and a Malcolm Todd presale for under-18s

The audience for an indie-pop artist of this age includes a large number of teenagers, and so some of the practical questions are about age policies. Academy rooms in the UK usually have their own rules: some shows are all ages with an adult required for the youngest, while others are 14 or 16 and over. Check the age note on the event page for each venue, because it can differ even within one tour, and read the entry conditions for bags and for photo identification. A mistake here can mean a ticket that cannot be used at the door. Venues rarely publish exact age limits in the headline of the sale, so look in the small print.

When a parent buys for a child, the safest route is to use the parent's own account, transfer the ticket to the child's account through the official app, and make sure the child's phone is charged and has the app installed. If the show has a bar area, the venue sets rules for minors that vary by room. Also decide who will collect the child after a late finish; Brixton shows in particular end late on school nights. Our UK presale guide includes the usual limits on order sizes. Accessible tickets for a teenager with additional needs are handled by the venue directly, and a carer can usually enter free, so contact the box office early rather than waiting for a returned seat. Agree a plan for the evening before the doors open, including how the child will contact you.

A budget plan for a Malcolm Todd presale ticket

For students and anyone on a tight budget, the cost of a concert is more than the ticket. Booking fees on Ticketmaster can add a noticeable amount, and travel and food add more. Make a small budget before you search: the ceiling for the ticket, the fee, the train or bus, and a backup fund for the unexpected. If a returned ticket appears at a price above your ceiling, wait; prices on official resale are usually capped, and a later return may be cheaper. Standing tickets in general admission rooms such as the Barrowland in Glasgow tend to cost less than seated ones in theatre rooms. Avoid paying through any private message, because refunds are difficult when a payment goes outside the platform.

The traveller: Britain and Australia in a Malcolm Todd presale plan

The two legs are far apart. The British leg is a single week in late February and early March 2027, in Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and London, while the Australian leg occupies eleven days in May across four cities. A fan from Ireland, France or the Netherlands can reach Britain easily, while a fan from New Zealand or Asia is more likely to fly to Sydney or Melbourne. Look at the dates before you book: if a venue has two or three nights, there is more flexibility than for a single-night city such as Brisbane, where Riverstage is an outdoor venue with weather risk.

Border rules are a separate matter. Visitors to the United Kingdom from many countries now need an electronic travel authorisation, and Australia requires a visa or an electronic authority for most travellers; check the current requirements for your passport at least a month before departure. Consider travel insurance that covers event cancellations. Our Australia presale guide and UK guide explain how tickets are delivered and how exchanges work, and the Malcolm Todd calendar page keeps the dates in order. Keep screenshots of your bookings in a folder offline, since airport wifi is unreliable, and note the venue address in the local language if you travel abroad.

The second night: more Malcolm Todd presale chances than you think

Five of the thirteen shows are second or third nights in the same room: London has three at Brixton, Sydney two at the Hordern Pavilion, Melbourne two at Festival Hall and Perth two at the HPC. Multi-night runs give a useful clue about demand, since a promoter rarely adds a second night until the first has largely sold. They also give the buyer flexibility, because if the opening night is full, the next one may not be. In London, a Tuesday-to-Thursday run differs from a weekend one, which affects which night people prefer. A second night is also a good clue for travellers, as it shows that the promoter expected demand to exceed one room, and that tickets for the neighbouring date may become available in smaller batches as holds are reassigned.

The right habit is to compare nights every time you look. Open each date on the venue page, note the number of tickets shown, and be ready to switch. Remember also that a late addition of a night is a common response to a quick sell-out, and in that case a new sale begins with little warning. Our alerts report such additions with the platform and local time, but we cannot predict them. Be wary of social posts that claim a date is "coming" without a link to an official page. Pay attention too to the support act and doors time on each night, since a different opening act on one date is occasionally a reason to prefer it.

Resale, transfers and safety around a Malcolm Todd presale ticket

Two principles cover almost everything: buy from the platform that issued the show, and use its own transfer or resale tool. In the UK, Ticketmaster offers a face-value resale system for many shows, and similar tools exist in Australia on Ticketmaster and AXS. Prices on these tools follow the rules of the platform and the event, and the legal position on resale differs from country to country, so read the conditions before listing. Never accept a screenshot or a PDF as a ticket, because venues scan dynamic barcodes that refresh in the app. Parents who buy for a teenager should keep the order details on their own account, so they can handle any problem on the evening without needing to log into the child's profile.

If something goes wrong, keep the evidence: the order confirmation, the chat history with the seller if there was one, and the bank record. Contact the platform first, then your bank if needed. For most fans the commonest problem is not fraud but a simple mismatch, such as a ticket bought for the wrong date or the wrong city. Read the date, the venue and the time on the confirmation twice before you pay, and remember that the Australian dates fall in the southern autumn, where evening temperatures can be cool outdoors. Take a moment to check the card statement a few days after the purchase, to confirm that the charge matches the total you saw at checkout and that no duplicate order was created by an accidental double click during a busy sale.

Weather, timing and a Malcolm Todd presale reminder for Australia

The Australian run in May 2027 sits in the southern autumn, with mild days and cool nights in Sydney and Melbourne, warmer evenings in Brisbane and dry, crisp weather in Perth. Riverstage in Brisbane is an open-air venue, so a rain jacket is a sensible addition there. Doors times for these shows are usually early in the evening, and the venue sets rules about re-entry and bags. Check the information on the event page the week before, because security and transport arrangements can change from the details published at the time of the sale. Pack for the evening rather than the afternoon, because queues for entry can last an hour at popular shows. Remember also that open-air shows may be delayed or cancelled in severe weather, and refund terms apply.

Another small point concerns time zones for the sale itself. The Australian general sale in September opened on a Friday morning, which is Thursday evening or night in Britain and Europe, and the same will apply to any future sale for added Australian shows. If you buy from the UK or Europe, convert the start time carefully, and remember that daylight saving ends in Australia in early April, after the shows in this leg. Our ballot explainer describes what happens if a sale is oversubscribed and run by lottery instead. Always trust the time printed on the ticketing page over any converted time in a message. Daylight saving does not affect the May shows.

Malcolm Todd presale FAQ

These answers reflect our records at 25 October 2026: general sale in the UK in September 2026 via Ticketmaster and the venues' outlets, and general sale in Australia on Friday 18 September 2026 via Ticketmaster and AXS, with no presale recorded in either country. Where the record is silent we say so, and where an official ticketing page contradicts us, the official page is right. We update this page whenever a date, a platform or a sale rule changes. We keep them short on purpose, and each one can be read separately from the rest of the page. Please check the official page before travelling. Dates and venues can change, and the ticketing page always has the final word on that.

Was there a Malcolm Todd presale?

Our records show a general sale only, in the UK in September 2026 and in Australia on 18 September 2026. A venue or label mailing list may have received early access, but we cannot confirm one and do not describe any. Whatever happened, the early windows are over. What matters now is the official resale option, released holds and added dates, all of which appear without a fixed schedule, so check the event pages regularly. If your first attempt returns an error, wait a minute and retry once; repeated attempts can lock the account for a short time. Stay calm and organised. A fresh page load sometimes shows seats that a cached one hides, so clear the page cache if you suspect an error.

How do I find a Malcolm Todd presale ticket for London?

London has three nights at O2 Academy Brixton on 2, 3 and 4 March 2027. Check each date on the Ticketmaster page, look for the resale button, and return a few days before and on the morning of the show, when returned tickets are common. If you hold an O2 customer account, look in the app for any offer, although we have no confirmation of one. Never pay through a private message. Tuesday to Thursday dates in London tend to attract commuters and students, so the last tickets often return around lunchtime on working days. Keep the confirmation handy. Check the official exchange as well.

Which platforms run the Malcolm Todd presale in Australia?

Our record names Ticketmaster and AXS for Australia, together with the venues' own box offices. There is no presale listed, and general sale opened on Friday 18 September 2026. Create an account on both platforms, check which one sells your venue, and use its official resale tool for second-hand tickets. Currency is Australian dollars, so check your bank's foreign card fees if you buy from abroad. Keep a copy of the e-ticket PDF offline. Expect the confirmation email to arrive within minutes of payment; if it does not, check your spam folder, and then contact the platform's help centre with the order number and the card used, because the ticket may be waiting in the account even when the email is delayed.

Can I bring a friend to a Malcolm Todd presale show if I bought two tickets?

Yes, provided you transfer one ticket to your friend through the platform, so that they hold their own barcode. Do this several days before the show, and ask them to accept it in the app. If the venue checks names or ages, make sure the details match. If the friend cannot attend, use the official resale tool rather than selling privately, as that protects both of you. Children's tickets follow the venue's age rules and should be checked in advance. It is also wise to agree on a meeting point outside the venue in case either phone loses signal inside the room, and to remember that a transferred ticket cannot normally be transferred a second time, so decide carefully who will use it before you send it.
