How to Increase Your Chances of Getting Ariana Grande London Tickets
With demand this high, luck will always play a role. However, preparation can give you a significant edge. Here are some of my strategies for buying tickets (valid for Ticketmaster, AXS, and similar platforms):
Create or sign in to your account before the sale begins.
Save your payment details in advance to speed up checkout.
Disable browser extensions and VPNs, as they can cause errors.
Decide on your preferred dates before the sale starts.
Enter the waiting room early (usually opens 30 minutes before the sale).
Use only one device and one tab - multiple tabs can actually reduce your chances.
Be patient - don’t refresh the page, even if the queue seems slow.

What to Know About The O2 Arena in London
The O2 Arena, located in North Greenwich, is one of Europe’s most iconic concert venues. I’ve been there twice, and both times the experience was incredible.
If you’re planning to attend Ariana’s show at the O2, I highly recommend reading my O2 Arena London Concert Guide 2025, where I share insider tips on seating, transport, and making the most of your concert day.
What We Know About the Stage Setup
During the US presale, Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour 2026 stage layout was revealed. It features a classic setup with a main stage connected to a long runway and a B-stage at the end. This design gives pit fans plenty of chances to see Ariana up close as she walks the runway and performs on the B-stage.
Which Seats to Get at the O2 Arena
With the stage layout revealed during the US presale, we have a good idea of what to expect for London. Here are some general recommendations on which seats to consider at the O2 Arena:
Floor Tickets (Standing Area)
Best for being close to the stage and experiencing the full concert energy.
Mostly a standing area with no assigned spots - tickets are based on the number sold. (Some artists add chairs, but the setup for Ariana’s London show hasn’t been confirmed.)
Lower Tier (Level 1) Seating
Offers a very nice view while keeping you close to the stage.
Provides the comfort of reserved seating.
Higher Tier (Level 4) Seating
A good option, often at more reasonable prices.
These seats are steep, so Level 4 isn’t recommended for those with a fear of heights.
Additional Notes
For seated tickets, some views may be partially obstructed; this will be clearly noted during booking.
Once the official stage map is released, you’ll be able to choose the best seats for your needs based on sightlines and stage placement.
Where Else Is Ariana Grande Touring in 2026?
In addition to the London dates, Ariana Grande has announced a comprehensive North American tour, with planned performances in Oakland, Los Angeles, Inglewood, Brooklyn, Chicago, and more. There are also two dates in Montreal, Canada, on July 28 and 30.
