About the venue

AO Arena

Manchester, MAN

The AO Arena — the building generations knew as the Manchester Arena — is one of the busiest indoor venues in Europe, sitting over Victoria station in the city centre. It has hosted the biggest names in music and comedy for decades, and its place in the city's story was sealed by the community's response to the 2017 attack.

The bowl is a classic large-arena sweep: lower-tier sides are the premium for end-stage shows, the upper tier is continuous and steep enough to keep honest sightlines, and the standing floor is the heart of the biggest nights. Manchester's position on the touring circuit means most major tours stop here — often one of only two or three English dates outside London.

Everything on sale is listed on this page with live prices. With the city's two arenas now splitting the biggest tours, comparing dates across both on this site is worth the minute it takes.
