Rod Stewart Presale 2027: How to Get Tickets, Country by Country

If you belong to the fan club: the Rod Stewart presale from 29 September

The record describes a fan club presale first, followed by local presales, all in the days before the Friday general sale. In practice, a fan club window rewards the people who joined earliest or who renewed membership before the announcement. Members receive an email with a personal link or code, and the window often lasts several hours or a full day. Quantity limits are strict, and some clubs give a limited number of tickets per member per show. For the Final Encore dates, our record names the artist, Live Nation and venue presales for Dublin and Amsterdam, which suggests that several different kinds of members could get in before the public.

The advantage of this route is not only timing but also the chance to pick better seats. The disadvantage is that the demand is concentrated, so the system can still queue. If you were a member and missed the email, check your spam folder and your account on the club's site, as invitations sometimes arrive late. For more detail about this route, our fan club presale guide explains the typical rules, and the artist presale guide shows where the two overlap. If you are not a member, the later local presales and the general sale are your realistic options. One practical tip is to log in a quarter of an hour before the stated time, because club sites sometimes slow down at the exact minute when thousands of members arrive together.

Venue and promoter lists: the local side of the Rod Stewart presale

After the fan club window, the Dublin and Amsterdam entries in the record mention venue presales alongside Live Nation. Venue presales belong to the arena's own mailing list or loyalty scheme. They are easy to join and often open to anyone who registers by a certain date, which makes them one of the most underrated ways to obtain tickets for a tour that is popular with an older audience, which tends to buy through trusted venues. A fan who joined the Co-op Live, O2 or 3Arena lists earlier would have had access to a second window. Such lists also tend to send reminders on the morning of the sale, which is a useful backup if you do not trust your own calendar.

Promoter lists work the same way, though they are tied to a company such as Live Nation, Mojo, MCD or the local equivalent. They are useful because the promoter knows the tour and can include its customers automatically. The lesson is to subscribe to at least two or three lists for the venues where you want to see a show, and to do it well before any announcement. Our venue presale guide and promoter presale guide cover the typical conditions. In most cases, registration is free, and anything that asks you to pay for a venue code is a warning sign.

Rod Stewart presale in Britain and Ireland: Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and London

The British Isles section is the longest on the tour, with six arenas between 23 April and 11 May: 3Arena in Dublin, The O2 in Belfast, OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Utilita Arena in Birmingham, Co-op Live in Manchester and The O2 in London. Our record gives the Dublin entry the full sequence, with the presale on 29 September and the general sale on 2 October at 10am, and for the rest of the region it says that ticketing is through Ticketmaster and the official outlets of each venue. The same wording appears in many other UK tours, and it means each arena has its own box office and mailing list.

For British buyers, prices are normally shown including fees, and the main ticket sites have official resale tools that allow fans to return a ticket at face value. Irish buyers use Ticketmaster Ireland with euro prices and a separate login. If you want to compare the two markets, our UK guide and Ireland guide set out the differences, including how accessible seats are sold and what age rules may apply. Because several of the arenas are within easy reach of each other, a fan who misses one date can often move to another. Disabled customers in both countries should also check whether a personal assistant ticket is offered, as that policy differs between venues.

Crossing borders: the Rod Stewart presale in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark and Czechia

The continental run starts in Amsterdam on 28 May at the Ziggo Dome, then moves to Antwerp on 29 May, Berlin on 1 June, Copenhagen on 6 June, Munich on 20 June and Prague on 24 June. Our record shows the Amsterdam entry with the same 29 September presale and 2 October general sale, with Ticketmaster and Live Nation named. The other cities carry no details, so we cannot say what presales were used. In general, Dutch and Belgian sales run through Ticketmaster and the venue's own system, German ones through Eventim and Ticketmaster, Danish ones through Ticketmaster Denmark, and Czech ones through GoOut or Ticketportal and the arena.

When buying across a border, make sure you are on the right country version of the site and that your card accepts foreign payments. Note the currency and the fee schedule. Watch the dates of the shows against your travel plans, since a Berlin evening and a Munich evening are far apart. Our pages on the Netherlands and Germany describe what to expect. For a fan from the UK, an Amsterdam or Antwerp weekend is a realistic alternative if home dates have sold out. Keep in mind that the exchange rate on the day of purchase decides what your bank charges, so a foreign sale can cost slightly more or less than you expect.

Accessibility, age and seating: practical points for the Rod Stewart presale

Because the audience for this tour includes many older fans and families, access needs matter. Accessible tickets are normally sold through a dedicated process with its own phone line or form, and they are not available through the public queue. Registration with the venue can be required before the sale, and proof of eligibility may be requested. Companion tickets are usually offered for free or at a reduced price. If you need these arrangements, contact the venue as early as possible, and do not wait for the general sale. The venue's access team can also advise on step-free routes, hearing loops and parking, which are as important as the seat itself.

Seating also deserves attention. Arena seat maps differ between venues, and the same price band can mean very different views. Look for the row and the section, and check whether the stage is in the round or at one end. If you are choosing between a lower-priced seat and a better one, remember that the sale price does not include extras such as parking or transport. For more on how dynamic prices work in large sales, read our dynamic pricing explainer, and keep a record of your order. A side view near the stage can be excellent value for a performer who moves around, whereas a rear tier may feel distant even if the sound is good.

What to do now that the Rod Stewart presale is over

If you did not buy in September or October, there are still ways to find a ticket. Check the venue pages from time to time, as tickets held back for production and tickets returned by other buyers are released in the weeks before a show. Look at the official resale tool where it exists. Consider adjacent dates and cities, and remember that midweek shows are easier than Saturday ones. Be careful with listings outside the official channels, and compare the price and the seat description with the official site before you pay. Patience helps, because the weeks just before a show often see the largest number of returned seats.

It is wise to use the alert form on this page, which will tell you when added dates or new windows are announced. Before any sale, create and verify your accounts, save a payment card, and decide on the number of tickets. Our resale rules guide sets out how the national laws and platform policies differ, which is useful if you hold tickets and later cannot attend. We cannot promise access to any sale, but good preparation does improve the odds. Finally, decide in advance what you would pay, since a pressured decision on a resale site is rarely the best one.

Rod Stewart presale FAQ

These answers are based on the network record as of 25 October 2026. It confirms the fan club presale on 29 September, the general sale on 2 October at 10am local time, and the main sellers, while leaving the details of several venues blank. We do not quote prices or sale limits unless a source supports them. For any particular arena, the venue page and the ticket seller are the final authority, and the alert form on this page is the easiest way to be told about anything new, such as an added date or a returned allocation of seats, without having to check every day. Where the record is silent, we prefer to say that we do not know, and we suggest checking the official source for the exact wording of the terms before relying on anything written here for an important purchase. The alert form below is free.

When was the Rod Stewart presale and when was general sale?

Our record states that the presale took place on Tuesday 29 September 2026, beginning with the fan club and followed by local presales, and that general sale opened on Friday 2 October 2026 at 10am local time through Ticketmaster and Live Nation. The Dublin and Amsterdam entries carry this full sequence. For other venues the record says only that tickets are sold through the official outlets. If you are trying to confirm a time for a specific arena, check the venue page, since the hour is stated in local time and can differ from what you expect if you are abroad. All of these windows have now closed. If a time zone is involved, ask a friend or a calendar tool to confirm the conversion, because a one-hour mistake can mean missing the start of a short window completely. Write the time down in both zones. We repeat the main times here so you can compare them with the venue page.

Do I need to be in a fan club for the Rod Stewart presale?

The first window was for the fan club, so membership helped, but it was not the only way in. The record also mentions artist, Live Nation and venue presales in some cities, and those were open to people on the relevant lists. If you were not a member, the general sale on 2 October was open to everyone. For future tours, joining the club and subscribing to venue and promoter lists give you several chances instead of one. Check the cost and the benefits of any membership before you pay, and note that joining after an announcement is usually too late for the first presale. Compare the membership terms for the previous tours too, because some clubs close sign-ups on a set date and reopen them only after a new announcement, which can be months later. There is no reason to rush into paying for anything extra. Read all the terms carefully. Ask the club how it confirms membership.

Which sites sell tickets after the Rod Stewart presale?

Ticketmaster and Live Nation are named for the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands in our record, and the official outlets of each venue are named for others. In practice this includes the arena box offices and, in some countries, other national platforms such as Eventim in Germany. Start from the venue's own page, because it points to the correct seller. Check the total price including fees on the final screen, make sure the date and city are right, and keep the confirmation email. Be cautious with sellers that do not appear on the venue's page, and compare the details with the official listing first. If you are unsure whether a link is genuine, type the venue's address into your browser and find the event from there instead of following a link from a message or a social post. This takes seconds and avoids most problems. Do it every time. Do not pay by bank transfer.

Can I get a Rod Stewart presale ticket for someone else?

Often yes, but the rules vary. Many sales let the account holder buy several tickets, within a limit, and the tickets can be transferred to guests through the official app or system. Some venues and countries require named tickets, and some check identity at the door. Read the terms of your order before you plan a gift, particularly if the person receiving the ticket lives in another country. If you buy through a fan club or a card programme, there may be conditions about who can use the tickets. When in doubt, ask the seller before you pay, and keep all communication in writing. Remember to tell your guest which entrance to use and when the doors open, and make sure they have the ticket on their phone before they leave home, with enough battery. Keep a screenshot of the order page as a backup, though some venues will not accept screenshots at the door. Ask the venue about its rules. Share the seat details in advance.
