Family planning check
When booking for a family day out, plan around travel and bedtimes.
Afternoon travel to Southampton or Dublin can be smoother, and lower bowl seats keep young fans engaged.
Set up mobile tickets on your phone and a partner device, and take a screenshot of the seat maps before entering the queue.
Pack light; most stadiums operate strict bag policies that slow entry.
Queue watch
Seeing the spinner or a long queue number is normal at launch.
Stay on your original tab; do not open dozens of new sessions, as this can trigger timeouts.
If you encounter an error at checkout, return to your order history rather than starting over.
Keep a second date ready as backup.
Take That are back with an 11-date stadium tour for summer 2026 as they revive The Circus Live

The band is reworking their record-breaking 2009 Circus Live, which became the fastest-selling tour, selling 600,000 tickets in under five hours and attracting over one million fans.
Expect it to be bigger, braver and bolder, with the original setlist plus surprises, and special guests The Script and Belinda Carlisle.
