Pricing Expectations & Strategy
- Ticket prices vary widely depending on seating, venue, demand, and region.
- In his Australian leg, some ticket tiers ranged from AUD ~ 109.90 upward.
- For U.S. stadiums, premium seats, VIP packages, or front GA will carry higher prices.
- Some secondary markets (SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, etc.) will reflect markups, but also may be your fallback.
- Try for presale (lower risk, direct) before resorting to resale.
Risks & Pitfalls to Avoid
- Scams & counterfeit tickets: Only buy through authorized ticketing platforms or verified resale channels.
- Ticket resale violations: Unofficial reselling might void your ticket under the terms of sale.
- Mobile ticket requirement: You must have a working smartphone to present the ticket at entry. If your phone fails, you might lose access.
- Time zone confusion: Ticket sale times are local to the venue. Don’t miss out due to miscalculation.
- High demand / waiting rooms: Be patient and persistent. Sometimes pages stall or sessions reset.
- Venue-specific rules: Some stadiums restrict bag sizes, cameras, re-entry, etc. Check the venue’s website ahead.
- Travel & lodging: Popular tour cities will have high hotel demand; book early if you’re traveling.
Tips to Improve Your Odds
- Use multiple devices (phone, laptop, tablet) to increase chances (but avoid violating site rules).
- If code is needed, have the presale code ready in a clipboard or note.
- Have your payment method saved and pre-verified (card, billing address) to minimize checkout delays.
- If presale fails, keep trying during the general sale, and check authorized resale later.
- Join fan clubs, newsletters, or follow Ed Sheeran’s social media — sometimes special fan club presales or allotments occur.
- Be flexible with city — if your preferred city sells out, consider a nearby one.
- Monitor official announcements — sometimes extra dates or extensions are added due to high demand.
