      • If you purchased tickets for Louis Tomlinson through Ticketek before 22 August, your booking remains valid, and you will continue to use your Ticketek tickets to access the event. Tickets purchased from 22 August onwards are issued by AXS.

      • Visit our Ticketing page for more information about your tickets and frequently asked questions.
    • To ensure safe and fair entry, a random numbered wristband system will determine the order fans enter the General Admission (GA) floor. Overnight queuing is prohibited. How it works:
      • Collect your wristband between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm. Visit the Box Office in person. One wristband per ticket holder, fitted on collection.
      • Your number is random. It determines your queue position. Arriving earlier does not improve your chances of receiving a lower number.

      • Return by 4:00 pm. Head to Gate 8 to line up in number order. Staff will guide fans onto the GA floor in groups of 50 when doors open.
      • Please note: Your wristband does not replace your event ticket or guarantee a spot at the barrier.
