TL;DR. Five UK arena tours run between September 2026 and January 2027: Westlife 25 (40 dates, ten of them at 3Arena Dublin), Courteeners (eight), Blossoms (six), UB40 featuring Ali Campbell (eight) and Five Finger Death Punch (four, in January). Whether a given date is sold out changes daily, so check the official seller first. What does not change is where a returned ticket goes: back onto the platform it was sold on, at face value, with no announcement, for a few minutes.
Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour
Forty dates from 11 September to 6 November 2026.

Where a returned ticket goes
- Ticketmaster-sold dates relist on Ticketmaster's fan-to-fan resale at the price paid or less. How it works.
- AXS-sold venues, The O2 among them, relist on AXS Official Resale at face value plus 10% at most, delivered through the AXS app. How it works.
- Twickets carries whatever fans choose to list there, capped at face value. How it works.
A ticket relists on its own platform. Watching one site for a date sold on another finds nothing.
The part that is the same for all five
A face-value listing for a wanted date lasts minutes, and nothing announces it. The person who gets it is the person who happened to be looking. Alertix watches the official resale sites for every date on these tours, or only the dates and price you set, and pushes an alert the moment a listing appears, linked to it. We never buy or hold tickets and cannot promise a return for your date; we can make sure you hear about it while it is still there. Each tour page above is where you set that up.
Questions people actually ask
Where do returned arena tour tickets appear in the UK?
On the official resale route for the platform the ticket was sold on: Ticketmaster's fan-to-fan resale at the price paid, AXS Official Resale at face value plus 10% at most for AXS-sold venues such as The O2, and Twickets where fans choose to list. A ticket relists on its own platform, not across them.
Are these tours sold out?
It varies date by date and changes daily, so we do not say. Check the official seller for your date first; anything still on sale there is the fastest way in. Returns are how tickets come back once a date shows nothing.
Which Westlife 25 dates are in Ireland?
Ten nights at 3Arena Dublin from 11 to 26 September 2026, then the UK arenas, then seven nights at the SSE Arena Belfast between 27 October and 6 November. Dublin and Belfast tickets relist through Ticketmaster Ireland and Ticketmaster UK respectively.
Can I get alerts for one date only?
Yes. Every tour page lets you pick the dates you can make and a price cap, and alerts only fire for listings that match. All the dates is the default.
