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

The 9am artist Muse presale: what the record shows

The key detail is the hour. Both the Lisbon and Lyon notices state that the presale opened at 9am local time on Tuesday 6 October, which is slightly earlier than the 10am start used by many tours. Because Portugal is on the same clock as the United Kingdom and France is one hour ahead, those two cities opened at different absolute moments, even though the announcement gave the same local hour. The general sale in Lisbon is recorded for Thursday 8 October, two days after the presale, which is the standard gap for a European arena show. The type of presale was an artist presale, which usually means a sign-up on the artist's own site, followed by an email with a time-limited access. No code has to be found, and nothing in the record points to a bank, a mobile operator or a promoter window. Madrid, Valencia and Bordeaux have no separate details in our data, so we do not claim that they followed the same pattern, although a coordinated tour often does. For the mechanics of these lists, see our artist presale guide.

Portugal: Lisbon as the opening night of the Muse presale

Lisbon's MEO Arena on 10 January is the first show of the tour and the only Portuguese date. The arena is large, with a capacity far above a typical club, and it is used for major European tours. The presale on 6 October at 9am was followed by a general sale on 8 October, and the venue is normally served by Ticketline, the BOL platform or the arena's own store, depending on the promoter. The notice does not say which platform ran this sale, so begin at the official tour page. For fans in the Algarve, Spain and the Azores, the opening night is also the show that requires the most travel planning, since January is a quiet period for flights but a busy one for long-weekend breaks. Prices in Portugal are in euros, and the fees vary by seller. A single-night stand means no second chance, so Lisbon is the show where late buyers are most exposed. Keep an eye on returns and read the Spanish guide if you intend to continue across the border for Madrid.

France: Bordeaux and Lyon in the Muse presale timetable

France carries four of the ten dates, with two nights in Bordeaux's Arkéa Arena and two in Lyon's LDLC Arena. Lyon's presale is documented: Tuesday 6 October at 9am local time, as an artist presale. Bordeaux is not detailed in our data. French ticketing normally runs through Ticketmaster France, Fnac Spectacles, France Billet or the arena's own site, and the early period is called prévente. The French market also uses named tickets for some concerts, which means the ticket carries the buyer's identity and may need a formal name change if it is passed on. With two nights per city, the second date often has better availability than the first, and the first is usually the one that fans from other regions target. If you cannot get a ticket for the night you wanted, look at the other one, and then at the other city, since Bordeaux and Lyon are only four days apart. Read the French presale guide for the vocabulary, the rules on resale and the way waiting rooms operate, and use the French calendar to see other sales in the same week.

Seating in the larger arenas is worth studying before the day. Lisbon's MEO Arena has a wide lower bowl and a steep upper tier with a clear view of the stage, Lyon's LDLC Arena is a more compact room where even the back rows feel close, and Madrid's Movistar Arena offers a floor that is usually standing and a set of tiers with fixed seats. Valencia's new Roig Arena has a modern design with long sightlines. If your priority is the view of the lighting design that rock tours increasingly feature, the first rows of the upper tier often give a better overall picture than the floor does.

Spain: Madrid and Valencia in the Muse presale plan

Spain closes the tour with two nights at Madrid's Movistar Arena on 19 and 20 January and two at Valencia's Roig Arena on 23 and 24 January. Neither city has separate sale details in our data, so we only know the continental record of sales since 8 October 2026 through the official outlets. In Spain, the early stage is called preventa and the public sale venta general, and the usual platforms are Ticketmaster España, Entradas.com, the arena's own site and the promoter's store. Spanish arenas sometimes run a presale for members of their own newsletters, which we call a venue presale. The Roig Arena in Valencia is a relatively new venue, so fans may be less familiar with its seating plan, and prices across sections vary significantly. Madrid's Movistar Arena is well known and generally easier to reach by public transport. If you are travelling from another country, remember that both cities have high-speed rail links and that January is a quiet time for hotels, which helps with price. Our Spanish presale guide explains the local rules on resale and the way fila virtual queues work.

Choosing between night one and night two: Muse presale strategy

With eight of the ten shows being the second night in a city, many fans must choose between the Friday or Saturday show and a midweek one. The rules of thumb are simple. The first night in a city is usually the first to sell, because fans from nearby regions and the most committed followers target it. Weekend nights are generally more popular than weekday nights, and the date that follows a day off for the band tends to have the most energy. These are habits of the market, not facts about this tour. The better question is which night you can actually attend. Look at your work schedule, transport and hotel costs before the sale, and decide your first and second choice. If one night is sold out when you reach the front of the queue, switch at once. Do not spend minutes searching for a better row on a date that is almost gone. Our presale queue guide explains why speed and a pre-agreed plan matter more than a perfect seat.

After the Muse presale: returns, releases and added dates

Three weeks after general sale, most of the demand has passed, and what remains is the slow flow of returns and production releases. Arena tours commonly hold back a few seats until the stage design is final, and those places usually appear six to ten weeks before the show. Returns come from fans whose plans change, and the best time to look is early in the morning on weekdays. If an official exchange exists on the platform, it is the safest source, since it returns the ticket to the system and issues a new one to the buyer. Added dates are a different matter. A tour with four double nights has already added capacity, and we have no evidence of a further show. If one is announced, it would normally come with a short presale for list subscribers, followed by general sale a day or two later. Sign up to the artist's list and the venue newsletters, and use the alert form on this page. We tell you when and where something opens, never how to skip a queue, and we do not publish access words.

Muse presale rules on resale, named tickets and fees

Portugal, France and Spain each have their own habits on resale. In France, the law and venue rules can limit resale and require identification for some events, in Spain official exchanges operate through the main platforms, and in Portugal the arena or promoter sets the terms. Fees are added at the end of checkout, and some arenas apply dynamic pricing that can change a price during a sale. We describe these systems neutrally and recommend that you read the conditions on the sale page before you pay. Practical habits help in every country: buy only through the channel linked on the official tour page, keep your confirmation email, make sure the name on the account matches your identity document when the ticket is personalised, and use the platform's transfer function if you pass a ticket to a friend. If you cannot attend, look for the official return or exchange route. The resale guide shows how Portugal, France and Spain treat a ticket you cannot use.

Muse presale FAQ

These are the questions readers ask most about the Muse presale for The Wow! Signal Europa Tour. The answers follow the sale information we hold: an artist presale on Tuesday 6 October 2026 at 9am local time for Lisbon and Lyon, general sale on Thursday 8 October, and tickets on sale in Europe since 8 October through the official outlets. They stay cautious about anything the promoters have not announced. Where a rule depends on the country or the arena, we say so, and we advise reading the seller's page before any payment. Please read them as a snapshot of the information available when this page was written.

Is the Muse presale still open?

No. The artist presale took place on 6 October 2026 and the general sale opened on 8 October. Tickets that remain come from general sale, returns or later releases. Check the platform for your city at different times of day, consider the second night in each city, and use the official exchange where one is available. A new presale would only follow an added date. If a night looks full, try the other date in the same city before you give up, then the neighbouring city, because two-night stands often have uneven demand and a few seats reappear in the days after general sale.

What time did the Muse presale start?

The records for Lisbon and Lyon say Tuesday 6 October 2026 at 9am local time. Portugal and France are on different clocks, so the two sales opened an hour apart. For Madrid, Valencia and Bordeaux, our data does not give a presale time, so check the official page for those cities. The general sale was on Thursday 8 October. Remember that a nine o'clock start means being logged in and in the waiting room before that, so aim to be ready ten minutes early. Convert the time to your own zone if you are abroad, and set an alarm. Check the sale page for the exact start.

Do I need a code for the Muse presale?

No code can be found or bought. An artist presale works through a sign-up list, and the access arrives by email to the people on it. We never publish or sell access words, and any offer claiming otherwise is not an official channel. Our alerts tell you when a window opens, in which country and on which platform. If a message claims to give you an access link in return for payment, ignore it, because official access arrives only by email from the artist's list or the platform where you registered, and it is free. Always begin from the official channel.

How many Muse presale tickets can I buy?

The limit is set for each show and shown at checkout, often between four and eight tickets per account for an arena concert. Some promoters lower it during a high-demand sale. If you need more, ask friends to buy their own on separate accounts and use the platform's transfer function to seat everyone together where the terms allow it. Check the figure again on the checkout page for the specific night, because some shows set a lower cap, and remember that fees are added per ticket, which affects the total for a large group. Confirm the cap before you start.
