Aespa tickets

Manchester comes first, on a Thursday, with London two days later on a Saturday. Both shows carry a 6.30pm time on the listings, and neither is a matinée. At The O2, 6.30pm is the usual door time, so check your ticket for when aespa are due on stage.

AO Arena, Manchester

Officially still Manchester Arena, the venue is part of the Victoria Station complex: trains and Metrolink trams arrive at Victoria, right beneath it, and a lift inside the station climbs to the City Room entrance. The floor can be standing or seated, with a lower tier and an upper tier of fixed seats around it. Your ticket names the best entrance for your block, and there is no re-admission once you are inside.

The O2, London

The O2 arena stands on the Greenwich Peninsula, with North Greenwich on the Jubilee line as the nearest station; the Uber Boat river bus and the IFS Cloud Cable Car are other ways in. The floor sits in front of the stage, Level 1 is the lower tier, Levels 2 and 3 hold the suites and Level 4 is the upper tier, which the venue does not recommend for anyone with a fear of heights. For standing shows the queue usually forms at Entrance E, and fans are asked not to arrive before 9am or to queue overnight.

Resale for aespa begins at £121 across the two dates (checked 5 Nov 2026).

In October's listings, both cities followed the same order: upper-tier seats were where prices started, the lower tier sat above them, and the floor was the dearest standard area. Manchester was the lower-priced night overall, its upper tier well below London's.

London has one extra area. “The Deck” is The O2's row of premium bar-stool seats on Level 1, and its listings were priced above the floor. Some London listings are labelled simply “Upper” or “Lower”; they refer to the upper and lower tiers, so check the block number before you pay.

With both dates still on sale at face value when checked, start with the official sellers. On Hellotickets, sellers set their own prices, which can be above face value, and the final price appears before you pay.

Three names matter for this tour:

• Live Nation UK lists both dates; on 21 October its event pages showed “Get tickets” for Manchester and London.
• Ticketmaster UK sells for the tour and is AO Arena's ticketing partner; on 28 October it showed The O2 date as low availability.
• AXS is The O2's official ticketing partner, so London tickets can also come through it.

Both dates were on general sale by October, so there is no presale window left to plan around: buy from the official event page and you pay face value.

Expect mobile tickets at both arenas. AO Arena scans QR codes shown live on your phone and turns away screenshots and print-outs. The O2 asks for tickets in its venue app, again with no screenshots, and some events there require photo ID matching the name on the ticket, which matters if you buy a ticket in someone else's name.

If a date sells out, resale becomes the fallback. Hellotickets works “with official channels and a network of secure, fully verified partners”, and states: “Every ticket is authenticated. If there's ever an issue, you're protected by our refund policy.” Resale tickets are sent as soon as Hellotickets receives them from the seller, which can be just 1–2 days before the concert.
