Scoring black friday deals on concert tickets, arena tour dates, comedy and sports fixtures is possible - if you know where to look!
We can confirm, yes they are! Black Friday deals on concert tickets can be found from loads of sources. While big stadium tours rarely get discounted, promoters do use Cyber Week to offer deals on unsold tickets for the winter months or early 2027.
Finding authentic black friday gig tickets means monitoring verified primary channels, where ticketers and venues prioritise real fans.
If the last couple of years are anything to go by, Ticketmaster will drop a round-up of their deals on their Discover page as Black Friday arrives. In it, they’ll link to specific deals on offer. In the past this has included top West End shows, sporting events, and more. We recommend keeping an eye out for when this drops!
Other ticketing platforms also run dedicated Cyber Week promotions. Visit Eventim’s dedicated page and sign up for their Black Friday Ticket Alarm to be notified when deals drop. In 2025, AXS listed dedicated offers like 2 for 1, 50% off or 25% off tickets; we can only assume 2026 deals will be listed in a similar fashion.
Venues can also advertise their Black Friday offers; we recommend signing up to venue newsletters (like London’s O2 or Manchester’s AO Arena, or other local venues nearer to you) to be the first to hear when deals come up, and get in early while they’re still available.
Independent promoters and grassroots music venues also often release Black Friday concert tickets promotions in late November, including ticketing platform Skiddle who’ve already announced you can expect discounts on raves, gigs, festivals, family parties and more from them.
If you are hunting for cheap concert tickets Black Friday is prime time for scams and price gouging to pop up. It’s important to protect yourself when purchasing!
We recommend, firstly, always verifying primary sellers by going directly through the artist or venue websites. Steer clear of sponsored links that purport steep discounts on sold-out tours. Another tip is to always check the original face value first; resale sites inflate original prices to create the illusion of a larger discount. We also recommend looking out for drip pricing; this is when additional delivery or checkout fees are snuck onto the final sale price. A final tip from us is that if a show is sold out, to stick to strictly capped, face-value platforms like Twickets, TicketSwap or other official fan-to-fan exchanges.
