How to get Live Nation tickets and presale access
Tickets for Live Nation's UK shows are sold through livenation.co.uk, with Ticketmaster and TicketWeb as ticketing partners, and a free My Live Nation account gets you into its presales.
Register on livenation.co.uk for early access to tickets in Live Nation's presales. The free My Live Nation account also brings artist alerts for favourite artists and a weekly newsletter with the latest show and artist news, and the web app's push notifications give instant updates about shows, presales and offers.
The event calendar on livenation.co.uk lists the shows and festivals it sells, including Latitude, the Isle of Wight Festival and Wilderness, and VIP ticket packages are sold in the site's VIP Tickets section. Live Nation's partner Ticketmaster is the global event ticketing leader.
If a show is cancelled or rescheduled, your money comes back: tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded unless the performance is cancelled, rescheduled or materially changed, and the total refund is the price you paid for the ticket. For a rescheduled show, tell the seller that you cannot make the new date — if it sets no other deadline, 48 hours before the rescheduled event is the default, and after that your order stands for the new date. A material change is one that makes the event materially different; understudies, bad weather, support acts, band members, festival line-ups, curtailment and delays do not count.
Ticket disputes that Live Nation cannot settle by negotiation may go to mediation under the STAR Code of Practice of the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers, reachable at star.org.uk, which the site's STAR: Buying Tickets Safely link points to as well.

How Live Nation began
The company behind Live Nation was founded in 1996 as SFX Entertainment by Robert F. X. Sillerman, who rolled American concert promoters into one national company.
SFX Entertainment was sold to Clear Channel Communications in 2000 for US$4.4 billion and ran as Clear Channel Entertainment until 2005, when the division was spun off and renamed Live Nation.
In 2010 Live Nation merged with the ticketing firm Ticketmaster to form Live Nation Entertainment, with both brand names continuing to operate as its subsidiaries. Along the way it bought European promoters and venue operators, including Mojo Concerts in the Netherlands, and took a majority stake in the UK's Festival Republic, the promoter behind Reading and Leeds.

Live Nation: questions people ask
How do I get Live Nation presale tickets?
Register for a free My Live Nation account on livenation.co.uk. It gives early access to tickets in Live Nation's presales, artist alerts for favourite artists, and a weekly newsletter with the latest show news.
Is Live Nation the same as Ticketmaster?
No, but they belong to one company. Live Nation stages the shows and Ticketmaster sells the tickets; since the 2010 merger both brands operate under Live Nation Entertainment, and Ticketmaster and TicketWeb are the ticketing partners of livenation.co.uk.
Who owns Live Nation?
Live Nation Entertainment, the public company formed in 2010 by the merger of promoter Live Nation with ticket seller Ticketmaster and listed on the New York Stock Exchange as LYV, so it belongs to its shareholders. Liberty Live Holdings, the company Liberty Media split off in December 2025, holds the stake in Live Nation Entertainment. The story starts in 1996, when Robert F. X. Sillerman founded SFX Entertainment, sold to Clear Channel in 2000 and renamed Live Nation in 2005.
Where are Live Nation tickets sold?
Through livenation.co.uk itself, whose event calendar lists its shows and festivals, with Ticketmaster and TicketWeb as ticketing partners. VIP ticket packages are sold in the site's VIP Tickets section.
What happens if my Live Nation show is cancelled?
You get your money back: the total refund is the price you paid for the ticket. A rescheduled show qualifies too, as long as you tell the seller you cannot make the new date in time — by default 48 hours before it — and a materially changed event qualifies as well.
Is Live Nation trustworthy?
It is the world's largest concert promoter, with over 20,000 shows a year in more than 40 countries, and its UK ticket terms follow the STAR Code of Practice, under which ticket disputes can go to independent mediation.
How do I contact Live Nation about a booking?
Through the help centre at help.livenation.co.uk, linked as Customer Service on its site. For access requirements at a show, email customer.experience@livenation.co.uk in advance; the site publishes no phone number.
Which festivals does Live Nation run in the UK?
Download at Donington Park, and through its majority-owned Festival Republic also Reading and Leeds. Its festivals page sells Latitude, the Isle of Wight Festival and Wilderness as well.
Does Live Nation promote shows in the Netherlands?
Live Nation owns the Dutch promoter Mojo Concerts; the shows it sells itself sit on livenation.co.uk, its UK site.
