How to get tickets to Drake’s UK tour dates
When did tickets go on sale?
Tickets for the Manchester shows went on sale on 6th June 2025 through official platforms including Ticketmaster, Live Nation and AXS. All three nights have since sold out, though resale tickets remain available.
Check verified resale platforms like Ticketmaster Resale, See Tickets and Viagogo for last-minute availability. Be cautious of offers on social media, as reports of scams are increasing around high-profile events like this one.
How much do tickets cost?
Original tickets ranged from £120–£250 depending on your seat or standing section. VIP and floor tickets are the most sought-after and have seen the steepest price hikes on resale.
Some fans have reported successful last-minute drops or production release tickets becoming available closer to show day, so it’s worth checking the official arena site regularly.

Co-op Live is located on the Etihad Campus in East Manchester and is well-connected to public transport. For fans who’d prefer to skip the drive entirely or combine travel methods, here are some top options:
Take the tram into the city
- The Metrolink tram runs regularly to Etihad Campus stop, just a 5-minute walk from the venue

Travelling by bus
- Bus routes including the 216, 231 and 53 serve the Etihad area and operate frequent services during large-scale events
- If travelling from other parts of Greater Manchester, you can connect via Piccadilly Gardens or Shudehill Interchange
Does Co-op Live offer official car parking?
Yes — official parking is available at the Etihad Campus near the arena, but these spaces must be booked in advance and often sell out quickly for major concerts.
Prices usually range from £15–£25, and the venue strongly encourages public transport use when possible. Alternative city centre car parks are available but may require a tram or bus ride to reach the arena.
For more flexibility and better rates, JustPark offers an easy alternative — including listings for driveways in nearby neighbourhoods like Beswick and Ancoats.
