Peter Kay tickets – what time they go on sale, prices, Manchester dates and where to buy

He's added so many more dates. (Contains affiliate links).

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 12th November 2022

Peter Kay has added loads more Manchester dates to his long-awaited live arena tour, ahead of tickets going on sale this morning.

The beloved Bolton comedian is now playing a whopping nine shows at the AO Arena in his home region.

Peter, who largely stepped away from the spotlight after cancelling his 2017 tour due to personal reasons, had been triggering phenomenal demand for tickets.

The star managed to crash both the O2 Priority website and the Three+ service during pre-sales earlier this week.

The popularity of his comeback led to a monthly residency at the O2 Arena in London (the first artist to do so at the venue) and new arena dates across the country – including seven extras here in Manchester.

Here’s what you need to know about Peter Kay‘s Live Arena Tour.

Peter Kay dates in Manchester 

Peter Kay had already announced two dates for Manchester, but has now gone and added seven more for 2023.

These are the full dates for the AO Arena Manchester.

  • Friday 2 December 2022
  • Saturday 3 December 2022
  • Friday 22 September 2023
  • Saturday 23 September 2023

  • Friday 21 October 2023
  • Sunday 5 November 2023

When do tickets go on sale?

The pre-sale earlier this week went totally mental and even managed to temporarily bring down both pre-sale sites, O2 Priority and Three +.

So we’re all braced for a proper scramble today when the general sale kicks off.

Peter Kay’s arena tour tickets will go on general sale from 10am today (Saturday 12 November).

Where to buy Peter Kay tickets

Tickets are being sold through a few platforms but you’re going to want to be prepared to sit in a queue.

Once the on-sale begins this morning, you can try and pick up tickets through See Tickets here.

How much are tickets?

With the cost of living crisis being so difficult for so many, Peter Kay said he’ll be pricing his tickets from just £35.

“It’s good to get back to what I love doing best,” Kay said ahead of his return.

“If there’s ever a time people need a laugh it’s now. And with the cost of living at an all-time high, ticket prices are starting from £35, which is the same price they were on my previous tour in 2010.”

Seated tickets are priced at either £35, £50, or £65 (plus booking fees).

Then there’s a Best Seat Ticket Package, priced at £135 plus fees, which gets you a top-price sat, limited gift, tour programme and VIP lanyard.

US rising star Reneé Rapp announces huge Manchester arena gig as part of European tour

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

Reneé Rapp has just announced a European leg to her upcoming tour, and she’ll be stopping off in Manchester for a huge arena gig.

In just a few short years, Reneé Rapp has become a star… and her star is only rising higher.

At just 25-years-old, the critically-acclaimed musical theatre and TV actress has pivoted to become an undeniable pop sensation and film star – and an iconic figure in interviews too… which isn’t a job, but it should be – after landing her breakout role as Regina George in the Mean Girls musical on Broadway back in 2019.

Even though she chose to reprise her role as Regina George in the 2024 movie adaptation of the Mean Girls musical, since 2022, Rapp has largely turned her attention to her solo music career.

2022 saw Rapp release her debut EP, Everything to Everyone, before she then went on the channel her raw talent and authentic voice even further, and release her first full-length studio album Snow Angel in 2023.

Both 2024 and 2025 have been big musical years for Rapp too – so much so that she has now amassed more than 1.4 billion streams and counting across her entire discography. 

An already-successful 2025 is about to become even more successful, as Rapp’s second album, Bite Me, is expected to be released on 1 August, and she’s also heading out on a highly anticipated US tour from late September through to late October.

Following on from her US tour, Rapp has today announced that she’ll be heading across the pond to Europe in the new year, and will be making her way over to Manchester to take to the iconic AO Arena stage in March 2026.

Amsterdam, Berlin, and Paris are just some of the other cities Rapp will be visiting before Manchester, ahead of closing out the tour at London’s Wembley Arena.

Reneé Rapp will be playing a huge gig at the AO Arena in Manchester on Wednesday 18 March 2026 as part of the ‘Bite Me Tour’, and tickets officially go on sale next week – with both pre-sales and general sale available.

The Three+ presale will begin on Wednesday 30 July at 10am, and the AO Arena presale will start on Thursday 31 July, again at 10am, before general sale launches on Friday 1 August at 10am.

Road to Victory returns for massive Euro 2025 final screening at AO Arena

Danny Jones Danny Jones watch 2025 women's euros final at AO Arena Manchester screenings

England are in another final, and you know what that means: Road to Victory is returning to Manchester for another massive screening at the AO Arena as England’s women’s team prepare to defend their Euros trophy.

Sarina Weigman’s side made it to their second consecutive European final on Tuesday night following more late drama for the Lionesses against Italy.

The squad, which has seen a number of personnel changes since Euro 2022, managed to make it through to the final in the eleventh hour thanks to another stoppage-time equaliser from Michelle Agyemang and even more tense follow-up from a scuffed spot-kick by Chloe Kelly.

Will they ever stop giving us heart palpitations at major tournaments? Probably not, but the big watchalong party inside the AO Arena, which will see thousands turn up to watch the Euro 2025 final, is sure to deliver plenty of excitement either way.

For anyone unfamiliar with the massive fan zone – one of THE biggest in all Europe, in fact – Road to Victory is the unparalleled supporter party by AIX (Amplified Immersive Xperiences) Live, who specialise in the top-end of audio-visual matchday viewing vibes.

Having hosted huge screenings for the previous men’s Euros and the Qatar World Cup, and even inspiring a massive watchalong of last season’s Europa League final at the venue, Road to Victory (RtV) is just about as big and bold as it gets.

Think BOXPARK in London only bigger, more interactive and, dare we say it… better?

Yes, we do dare say it; having attended RtV on multiple occasions since it landed here back in 2022, we can confirm you won’t find an atmosphere quite like it anywhere else. At least not in Greater Manchester, anyway.

Case and point:

With doors to the women’s Euros screening opening at 4pm, there’ll be plenty of time for pre-match build-up before the game gets underway, and there’ll be plenty of entertainment, light displays, food, drinks and more – it’s just up to Manchester fans to be in full voice.

The Women’s European Championships certainly have a more all-ages, family-friendly feel to them, but Road to Victory and the AO Arena are still ensuring they deliver a palpable match-day energy.

Tickets are already live following England’s place in the last two of the Women’s Euros now confirmed, it’s merely a matter of securing yours and finding out who, out of Germany and Spain, will meet them in the final this weekend.

Once again, the 2025 Women’s Euros final kicks off at 5pm on Sunday, 27 July, and you can grab your tickets for the Road to Victory screening at the AO Arena in Manchester right HERE.

It’s coming home.
