Paul Heaton tickets

The autumn tour moves quickly, with eleven shows in seventeen days. Newcastle, Glasgow and Leeds opened it on consecutive nights from Thursday 29 to Saturday 31 October. Cardiff came next, on Monday 2 November, then Plymouth Pavilions on Tuesday 3 November. Sheffield and The O2 make up the weekend, on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 November. The final week takes in Nottingham on Tuesday 10, Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena on Wednesday 11, Utilita Arena Birmingham on Friday 13 and Co-op Live on Saturday 14 November.

Listed times run from 6pm in Sheffield and Birmingham to 7.30pm in Manchester, with the other arenas at 6.30pm. The Brighton show is listed at 8pm and Headingley at 5pm, and none of the dates is a matinée. Families should check the age rules for standing: Co-op Live keeps anyone under sixteen off its standing floor.

Venues that are easy to mix up

Utilita Arena Birmingham, the former National Indoor Arena beside the canal opposite Brindleyplace, is not the same venue as bp pulse LIVE at the NEC. The O2 Belfast, in the Titanic Quarter, is the arena many still call the SSE Arena, its name until July 2026, and it should not be confused with The O2 in London. Leeds had its arena night on 31 October, at the city-centre venue listed as First Direct Arena; the date left in the city is Headingley Stadium in June 2027.

Two smaller shows sit between the arenas and the summer. On Wednesday 2 December 2026, Banquet Records holds an album-launch show at Circuit in Kingston upon Thames, the venue formerly known as Pryzm, listed at 7pm and open to ages 14 and over. Every ticket option, from £20 for a ticket alone, was sold out on 28 October, and an extra earlier show added for demand had sold out too. The Brighton show at Chalk on Thursday 3 December is an album launch too: on 31 October the venue's page showed it sold out, with a waiting list, and a separate 5pm show there had sold out as well.

With most remaining arena nights sold out at the official seller, resale is where many fans will be looking, and starting prices differ widely between venues. At the last price check, Sheffield, Nottingham and Liverpool started lowest, together with Co-op Live and the Headingley stadium show. Plymouth had started highest of the autumn dates, and the Brighton date at Chalk stood well above the rest.

Standing is usually the way in. Floor or standing tickets opened the market in Nottingham, Birmingham, Manchester and Belfast and at The O2, with lower-tier seats generally the dearest part of each arena. Sheffield was flatter, its two seated tiers and the standing floor starting close together, while in Liverpool the upper tier started below the floor. At Headingley, the North, South and East Stands and the standing floor all started at much the same level.

For face value, the Birmingham listing quotes tickets from £39.50. Resale prices on Hellotickets are set by sellers and can be above face value, and the final price is shown before you pay.

The tour is presented by SJM Concerts with Live Nation UK. Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster UK, with AXS at The O2. This is where the official sale stood for the remaining arena nights on 5 November:

• Low availability: Sheffield (6 November) and Nottingham (10 November), at Ticketmaster UK. Both had shown as sold out on 2 November, and tickets are on sale again.
• Sold out: The O2, Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester, with only resale tickets offered at Ticketmaster UK when any are listed.

The Kingston show on 2 December is sold by Banquet Records rather than Ticketmaster, as a ticket alone or bundled with the album, one ticket per customer, and every option was sold out on 28 October. The Brighton show on 3 December sold out at Chalk, which showed a waiting list on 31 October.

The two June 2027 dates, Belfast and Headingley, were on sale at Ticketmaster UK. Venue websites may still say 'Buy tickets' or 'On sale now' for nights that have sold out, so check the seller's own page rather than a venue's events list.

Official resale at the venues

Utilita Arena Birmingham names AXS as its official ticketing partner and AXS Official Resale as its official resale route, and it is a mobile-only venue where tickets are shown in the app of the point of purchase. Co-op Live's endorsed resale platform is Ticketmaster Ticket Exchange, at face value or less.

Resale on Hellotickets

For sold-out nights, seats listed on Hellotickets are the main alternative. In Hellotickets' words: “Every ticket is authenticated. If there's ever an issue, you're protected by our refund policy.” Tickets are sent as soon as Hellotickets receives them from the seller, sometimes up to 1–2 days before the event.
