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

Three gates, one Tuesday: how the Slipknot presale was structured

The first gate is the artist presale, which normally depends on a mailing list or a fan club account. The second, the Knotfest presale, depends on the community platform that the band runs around its festival brand, so its members and subscribers receive their own link. The third, in the United States and Canada, is the Live Nation presale, open to people with accounts at the promoter and often to customers of partner programmes. Our record gives the 29 September start for the first two and for Live Nation in North America, with a second date of 2 October for the general sale. Having three gates on one day meant that a fan with several memberships could try several times.

That is the real advantage of joining several lists: each gate draws from the same pool of seats, but you are in competition with a different crowd each time. A fan who missed the artist window could try Knotfest, and a fan who missed both might get through with a Live Nation account. If you want to understand how each works, read our artist presale guide and promoter presale guide. The practical lesson is to register everywhere before an announcement, not after it, because registration deadlines are often shorter than a day. Keep the logins for each gate in a password manager, so that you are not hunting for a forgotten password when a window opens.

The Wembley night: Slipknot presale rules for the UK and Ireland

The one UK date is Wembley Stadium on Saturday 3 July 2027, which was sold through Ticketmaster, with the artist and Knotfest presales from Tuesday 29 September and the general sale on Friday 2 October at 10am BST. Irish fans wishing to attend would use the same UK sale, since there is no Irish date on this tour. A single stadium date in Britain concentrates demand into one night, and that tends to make the general sale more competitive than a run of arenas, because fans from all over the country, and from continental Europe, compete for the same seats.

Wembley has particular features worth knowing before you buy: multiple tiers, a floor area that can be standing or seated depending on the show, and a range of entry gates. Check which area your ticket covers. UK law requires prices to be displayed with fees included on many listings, but premium and hospitality packages may differ. Official resale for stadium events is generally linked to the main ticketing platform, so check the listing there first. Our UK guide and resale rules guide explain the position on transfer and resale. Stadium shows also tend to have strict re-entry rules, so plan your day, meals and transport around that, and leave plenty of time to pass through security.

Slipknot presale across eleven American stadiums and parks

The United States leg runs from 16 July at Nationals Park in Washington to 18 August at Chase Field in Phoenix. In between come Citi Field in Queens, Soldier Field in Chicago, Hersheypark Stadium, Fenway Park in Boston, FirstBank Stadium in Nashville, Daikin Park in Houston, the Commerce City soccer stadium near Denver, SoFi Stadium in Inglewood and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Baseball parks and soccer grounds are used for concerts with a stage on the field, so the ticket categories include field seats, grandstand seats and sometimes pit areas. Seats behind the stage are sometimes held back, or sold with restricted views.

The New York entry in the record repeats the dates: artist and Knotfest presales on 29 September and general sale on 2 October at 10am local time. For American buyers, check each venue's page and the Ticketmaster listing for the exact category names, since stadium maps differ. Prices are often shown without fees until the final step, and dynamic pricing may apply. Our United States guide, dynamic pricing explainer and Verified Fan guide help you understand the labels you may see, such as "platinum" or "resale". Check the age policy as well, since some outdoor festival-style shows set minimum ages or require an adult for younger fans.

Montreal and Toronto: the Slipknot presale in Canada

Canada has two dates: Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal on 21 July and Rogers Stadium in Toronto on 23 July. The Montreal entry mentions the artist and Knotfest presales on 29 September and the general sale on 2 October at 10am local time via Ticketmaster. Quebec has its own consumer rules and language requirements, so the sale pages and the ticket itself may appear in French, and the venue is an outdoor island park with specific transport arrangements. Toronto's Rogers Stadium is a newer outdoor amphitheatre, and its sections and entrances are different from a traditional arena. The Montreal site is reached by metro and shuttle, which can be crowded, so plan for the return trip too.

Prices in Canada are in Canadian dollars, and many fans compare them with the American ones. Cross-border buying can be tempting, but check the currency, the exchange rate and the transaction fees on your card before paying. Resale in Canada is regulated at the provincial level, and the rules on price limits differ. Our Canada guide explains the basics. If you plan to attend both Canadian shows, remember that Montreal and Toronto are about five hours apart by road or an hour and a half by air. If you hold a card issued outside Canada, ask your bank about foreign transaction fees before the sale, not during it.

What a late buyer can do about the Slipknot presale and sale

Since all windows have closed, the available routes are returns, releases and resale. Large stadium shows often release further seats as the stage plan is finalised, usually in the last month. Fans also return tickets when plans change. Check the Ticketmaster page at different times, and consider the official resale tool, where tickets are listed at prices set by sellers. Prices can be higher or lower than face value, so compare. For general admission areas, make sure the listing says exactly which area and which day is covered, and look at entry rules for age and bags. Be aware that prices on any platform can change as the show approaches, and that a ticket listed above face value on the first day may drop later.

Flexible fans have an advantage. A weekday show in a smaller market is easier than a weekend in a big city, and some cities have a second chance if you can travel by train or car. Do not book non-refundable travel before you have a ticket. Use the alert form on this page, which tells you if an additional date or release is announced. We do not promise access, but timely information and a prepared account are the best tools a late buyer has. If you are travelling with friends, one person should buy all the seats together so that you sit in the same block.

Preparing for the next Slipknot presale

The next announcement will probably follow the same logic: an artist list, the Knotfest community, the Live Nation account, and possibly a card programme. Register for each of them in the weeks before any announcement, make sure your email is correct, and confirm your phone number if a service asks for it. Create the accounts on the ticket sites of the countries where you might buy and save a payment method. If you belong to a fan club, check its terms, because some clubs close sign-ups after an announcement. Also keep an eye on partner programmes of banks and phone companies, which sometimes add windows that are not mentioned in the first announcement.

When the day comes, join the queue a few minutes early and do not refresh. Know the dates you would accept and the price you would pay. Our queue explainer shows how waiting rooms work and what the screens mean, and the calendar lists the windows across our network. After buying, check the confirmation and the delivery method at once. If you did not get a ticket in the presale, the general sale is open to all, and the official resale tools are the next step. Finally, keep a copy of the order confirmation and make sure the ticket is stored in your wallet app before you travel.

Slipknot presale FAQ

These answers follow the network record as of 25 October 2026, which gives presale and general sale dates for the UK, the United States and Canada, and no prices. We say so when the record is silent, and we never invent a figure. The venue and the ticket seller are the final authority on every detail, and our alert form is the quickest way to be told if an extra date, a returned allocation or a new window appears. We do not publish presale codes, and we advise against paying anyone who claims to sell one, because genuine access comes only through the official channels described here. Read each answer in the light of that limit, and treat any date as the one published by the seller, not by us. Where we mention habits, we mean what is typical for stadium sales, not what is guaranteed for a particular show, and we ask you to confirm each point with the seller. The alert form on this page is free.

When was the Slipknot presale?

According to our record, the artist presale and the Knotfest presale started on Tuesday 29 September 2026 for the UK, United States and Canada entries, and a Live Nation presale appears for North America with the same start. The general sale followed on Friday 2 October 2026 at 10am local time, via Ticketmaster, and at 10am BST in the UK. The windows are closed now. For a future tour, expect a similar structure, with a few days of early access, and join the relevant lists before the announcement, since the sign-up deadline may be short or may have passed by the time you hear the news. Keep your expectations realistic about timing, because the best seats at stadium shows go early. The record shows nothing about a limit per account, so check the ticket page for the limit of any future sale before you plan a group order. Ask questions early.

What is the Knotfest Slipknot presale?

Knotfest is the community and festival brand run around the band, and its presale was one of the early-access windows named in the record. The mechanism is the usual one: members or subscribers receive an invitation, normally by email, with a link or a code valid for a single sale and a limited number of tickets. The record does not describe the exact requirements, so we do not state them. If you want to be eligible next time, join the platform in advance, keep your profile up to date and use an email address that you check every day. Do not pay for a code from anyone. A fan who is not a member can still join the general sale, which is open to everyone, though without the head start. Membership terms may include a cost, a data-sharing agreement or marketing consent, so read them before you sign up and make sure you are comfortable with what you are agreeing to.

Where is the Slipknot presale leftover stock now?

Begin with the Ticketmaster page and the venue page for your chosen show, because they display live availability. Then look at the official resale tool, where fans list tickets, and compare prices for the same area. Try again in the last weeks before the show, when production holds are released. Consider alternative cities, particularly in the American leg, where several dates are within a day's drive. Always check the section, the date and the total price with fees before paying, and use a payment method that offers protection. Our alert form will tell you about new releases. Whatever you choose, avoid paying by bank transfer or sending money to a person you do not know, and keep records of every message and receipt. Compare at least three listings, and walk away from any seller who pressures you to decide at once. A real ticket for a real show does not disappear in five minutes, and patience is usually rewarded in the weeks before the date.

Is the Wembley Slipknot presale handled differently?

It is sold through Ticketmaster, as are the UK dates in the record, with the artist and Knotfest presales on 29 September and the general sale on 2 October at 10am BST. The difference is that it is the only UK date, so demand is concentrated, and that the stadium has its own rules on entry, bags and accessible seating. Accessible tickets are normally sold through a separate process with registration, and companions are usually included. If you need such arrangements, contact the venue early and do not wait for the public sale. Resale is available through the official platform and should be checked first. For fans coming from abroad, check train times from Wembley Park and Wembley Central, which are busy after a stadium show. Book your return journey early, and look at hotel options near a station if you are staying overnight. Keep the ticket details handy. Check the gate time.
