Typically, Take That drops tour news at least six to eight months before the first concert date. Why? So you have enough time to save up and practice your dad-dancing. You’ll see a press release on a Tuesday morning—usually at 9 AM BST.
After that, the real fun begins. The tickets go on sale to the general public about one to two weeks after the announcement. But don’t blink—the presales start happening three to five days before that.
For the 2026 “This Life” tour (still going in some places), tickets went on sale in early November 2026. So for a 2026 or 2026 tour? You’re probably looking at a similar window: autumn or early winter of the previous year.
The Presale Secret (Don’t Tell Everyone)
Here’s the inside scoop. The O2 Priority presale, Ticketmaster presales, and the band’s own fan club presale are your best friends. They happen about 48 to 72 hours before general sale. You need a code, which you get by being a fan club member or having an O2 phone contract.
If you don’t have a code, don’t panic. General sale is the great equalizer. But be ready: you’ll be fighting your own mum, your neighbor Dave, and about 50,000 other people who also want floor seats. Set an alarm for 9 AM on the dot.
Take That add extra UK tour date due to overwhelming demand and tickets
Pro tip: never use public Wi-Fi for this. Your coffee shop connection will betray you at the worst moment. Use your home Wi-Fi or 5G, and close your browser tabs—except for the ticket page, obviously.
