Ticket prices

Tickets for Billy Joel’s UK shows will go on sale on October 4 at 10am BST.

Although the exact prices haven’t yet been released, a ticket set US fans back $51 in 2024.

However, as demand rises, so do ticket prices with some fans even paying more than £160.

Maximizing your chances

One of the best ways to get tickets on Ticketmaster is to have several people attempt at once.

For example, phoning a friend and having them also try to get tickets for you can double your chances.

Of course, be ready on the day and join the ticket waiting room early.

Normally, the waiting room opens 15 minutes before the sale begins.

Also, look to see if you have access to any presales as some phone providers and energy companies offer these as perks.

Mistakes to avoid

Make sure your internet connection is strong, as a slow connection could mean that someone could get the last few tickets just before you can.

Also, ensure that you are logged into your Ticketmaster account before the sale begins.

Not being logged in could wasted precious seconds as the tickets quickly sell out.

Also, avoid buying tickets on a phone that has low charge as this could make the page lag or, even worse, your phone could shut down.
