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

Passenger presale: what the 28 August announcement actually told us

When an artist says tickets are "on sale since 28 August 2026 via the official ticketing outlets", it usually means one of two things: either a presale ran in the days before and was folded into the same announcement, or the show simply went straight to general sale. For the Passenger presale, the network data records a single date for Europe, the UK and Ireland, and Australia and New Zealand, and no presale type is named anywhere. That is a useful fact in itself, because it tells you not to hunt for a fan club or credit card route that does not appear to exist.

It also tells you something about the audience. Mid-sized theatres such as Casino de Paris, Cirque Royal or the Usher Hall do not normally need a layered presale ladder, and an artist with a loyal, steady following often prefers a simple on-sale that rewards people who watched the announcement. If you missed it, do not assume everything is gone. Venues of this size often release held-back seats, production releases and returned tickets in the weeks before a show, usually through the same box office that sold the original allocation. The same logic applies in every region below: when no special route is named, the most useful skill is knowing where official extra tickets tend to surface, and how to recognise a trustworthy order page when they do.

Nordic and German shows: a Passenger presale in the spring wave

The first block of dates runs from Oslo on 9 March to Berlin on 17 April, with Stockholm, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Cologne and Munich in between. In Norway, Sweden and Denmark, most mid-sized rooms sell through a handful of national platforms, and the practical advice is to buy only from the venue's own listed ticket partner rather than from search results that merely mimic it. In Germany the picture is similar: the big domestic ticketing systems dominate, and many club and hall shows are tied to a named-ticket or ID-check policy only when the promoter says so, so read the order page carefully.

Because the German dates are split across March and April, you have more choice than the four-city list suggests. Hamburg and Cologne fall in the same week as Copenhagen, while Munich and Berlin come a month later, and fans travelling from abroad often choose the later pair to line up with weekends. Our German presale guide explains how local on-sales usually open at ten in the morning and how newsletters from the promoter can precede the public sale, which is worth remembering for any future added date. It is also worth checking the exact start time and door time for each hall, because in several German venues the curfew is strict and support acts begin early, which changes how you plan travel and hotels around the show.

France, Benelux and Switzerland on the Passenger presale trail

Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and Zurich sit in a tight March and April cluster. Paris is a good example of how French on-sales work: the venue and the national retailers share the allocation, prices are shown including fees, and a decent number of people buy through retail partners rather than the promoter's own page. Brussels and Amsterdam follow a similar rhythm, and in both the habit is to publish a general sale quietly and let word of mouth do the rest, which is exactly why alerts are more reliable than checking social media. The same applies to hotels and trains, which usually rise in price the moment a popular show sells out, so many fans book flexible travel at the same time as the ticket.

Switzerland is the odd one out because the market is small and prices are high, so shows are often cheaper to reach from Germany or Italy than they look. If you are comparing Zurich with Milan or Vienna, check the date, the currency and whether the listed seat map is seated or standing. Our French presale guide and the Dutch guide describe typical cardholder and newsletter windows in each market, which you can use as a mental model if an extra date appears. Where a hall offers both seated and standing areas, the better-value standing zone often disappears first, so if you want it, treat the first week of sale as the real deadline.

Iberia, Italy and Central Europe: the Passenger presale in smaller rooms

Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Vienna, Warsaw and Prague all arrive between 1 and 17 April. These cities have strong live scenes but different ticketing cultures. In Spain, the main concert sites list prices with fees included and run clear sold-out and "few tickets" indicators, so a show marked as limited is a reasonable prompt to buy rather than wait. In Italy, tickets for mid-sized clubs usually appear on the national platforms and sell through steadily rather than in a single rush. In Poland and Czechia, local systems and the venue box office often carry the allocation. Prices in Spain and Portugal are normally quoted per ticket including fees, which makes comparison between platforms easier than in some other markets, and cancellation or exchange conditions are generally printed at checkout.

A practical rule applies across the region: always match the venue name and date on the order page to the tour listing before paying. Smaller rooms sometimes have two or three similarly named halls in the same city, and a sold-out room can be moved to a larger one with a new date. Our Spanish presale guide covers how that market handles fan sales, and the Italian guide does the same for the national circuits. In Poland and Czechia, double-check currency, since a price shown in local money can look much cheaper or dearer than it is once your card converts it.

UK and Ireland: Passenger presale lessons from a September run

The September dates are the most interesting for a home audience. Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Manchester, London, Exeter, Birmingham and Brighton come after a Dublin opener on 7 September, and tickets went on sale on 28 August 2026 via Ticketmaster and the official outlets for each venue. In the UK the usual extras around a sale are a venue-level newsletter presale, a card-issuer window or an O2 Priority offer for O2 venues, but none is recorded for this tour, so assume you are buying at the same time as everyone else. Add to that the usual practical points: bring the same card that you paid with, keep the confirmation email, and screenshot any mobile ticket in case reception is poor inside an old theatre.

Look closely at the platform on each order page. Several of the halls on this run are O2 venues, and you may see priority wording on partner promotions, while the Usher Hall and Brighton Dome are historic rooms with their own box-office rules. For anything you buy on the secondary market, check the current resale rules for the country: the UK has been moving toward stricter limits on how far above face value tickets can be listed, so the details change. At the time of writing, the details of any UK cap on resale prices are still developing, so always read the current terms in force on the date you buy rather than relying on an older article.

Australia in October: the Passenger presale and Ticketmaster

The Australian leg is short and compact: Perth on 22 October, Adelaide on 24th, Brisbane on 27th, Melbourne on 29th and Sydney on 30th. General sale opened on Friday 28 August 2026 via Ticketmaster and the venues' own box offices. The Australian market normally has a promoter presale, a Telstra or card-issuer offer, and a venue-level window, but nothing of that kind is recorded here, so the safest assumption is a single on-sale. Remember too that Australian shows in a given city can fall on different days of the week, so check whether your preferred night is a weekday and whether local school or public holidays might push up demand.

Fans in Australia should also be aware that tickets are sometimes released across two systems for the same venue, and the price you see may or may not include the booking fee depending on the platform. Our Australian presale guide goes through how those fees are typically displayed. The October timing also puts the shows in the period when some venues hold back seats for production, so a quick look a week before each date often turns up a handful of extras. If you are flying in from New Zealand or Asia, note that the venue box office will normally help with name changes or accessible seating by phone or email, which is rarely possible through a resale listing.

Passenger presale FAQ

These are the questions we are asked most often about getting into Passenger shows in 2027, answered with the information we actually have rather than guesses. Everything below is based on the sale dates and platforms recorded for the Wild Love Tour as of late October 2026, so check the current terms on any order page. If your question is not covered, use the alert form on this page and tell us which city you care about, so that we can focus on the markets that matter to you. We have deliberately kept the answers practical, because by now most readers already know the dates and mainly want to know what to do next. Where something is simply the usual pattern in a market, we say so, and where the data is silent, we say that as well, so you can judge how much weight to give each answer before you decide how to spend your time and money.

Is there a Passenger presale I can still use?

Not according to the data we hold. The tour announcement records a single on-sale date of 28 August 2026 for Europe, the UK and Ireland, and Australia and New Zealand, and no fan club, card or venue presale is named. If a new date is added, that is the moment a separate window could appear, which is why we suggest setting an alert now rather than waiting for social media to tell you after the fact. It is possible that a promoter or venue quietly offers a mailing-list head start at some point, but we have not seen one recorded for these dates, and we would rather say so than invent a code or a window. The best habit is to sign up to the venue newsletters of the rooms you care about and to compare the on-sale moment with what our alert says. Until then, the sensible plan is simply to hold your preferred venue and date in mind and keep an eye on returns. Another thing worth knowing is that venue mailing lists in smaller halls are sometimes used to release a handful of tickets before the public, so subscribing to the lists of the specific rooms you care about costs nothing and can only help your chances.

Did the Passenger presale for Europe happen on a different date from the UK?

The recorded date is the same, 28 August 2026, for all three regions, although each country's local platform opened at its own local time. The practical difference is the platform, not the day: Ticketmaster in the UK and Australia, and national and venue systems in continental Europe. Compare the time shown on the order page with your own time zone, because the printed hour is always local to the venue. If you are travelling for a weekend trip, a useful trick is to look at both ends of the route, because a Dublin or Belfast show on a Tuesday or Wednesday can be far easier to buy than a Friday or Saturday in London, even though the audience for the tour is exactly the same. Doing so also avoids the classic mistake of buying on the wrong night. That is also why we always recommend reading the time zone stated on the page: a 10am start in Dublin is not the same instant as a 10am start in Sydney.

Can I get Passenger tickets if my date sold out?

Often, yes, but patience helps. Returned tickets and held-back seats tend to appear in the final three weeks, and venues sometimes add a second show if demand is clear. Use the venue's official resale or exchange page where one exists, and read the resale rules guide before paying anyone else, because limits on price and transfer differ by country. Be careful with any seller who asks you to pay by bank transfer or gift card, and avoid any listing that does not show the seat, block or standing zone. A genuine resale ticket always has enough detail for you to compare it with the venue plan, and a good platform guarantees a refund if the entry fails. If you are in any doubt about a ticket, ask the venue box office before you pay. Take a screenshot of the listing and keep every email, as these records matter if the seller or platform later has to resolve a problem.

Will there be a Passenger presale for extra dates in 2027?

We cannot promise it, because extra dates are not announced yet. When a tour adds shows, the approach is usually to repeat the structure of the first on-sale, so a plain general sale is the most likely pattern based on how this one was handled. Use the alert form on this page, or tap the bell next to a tour, and we will tell you when and where a new sale opens. The pattern worth watching is the gap between the announcement and the first show: when it is long, as it is for September and October, there is plenty of time for extra dates or reissued seats to appear, so there is no reason to panic-buy a doubtful listing in the first week. That keeps the process calm and cheap. If you have a specific country in mind, the relevant country guide in the menu explains how the next sale there would normally be structured.
