Ticket limits, prices and how returns work." source: https://alertix.app/blog/niall-horan-2026-uk-ireland-tickets --- [Back to Blog](https://alertix.app/blog) Guide # Niall Horan 2026 UK and Ireland tour: all 13 dates and how to get tickets 17 August 2026 • 7 min read S Sarah from Alertix The Alertix team, watching official face-value resale channels for sold-out events. **TL;DR.** Niall Horan plays 13 arena nights across the UK and Ireland on Dinner Party Live On Tour, from 22 September to 16 November 2026. The run splits into a September GB leg ending with two nights at The O2, and a November Irish leg of four Dublin nights and two in Belfast. Tickets went on general sale on 2 April with a six-ticket limit, and as of mid August some nights still show primary availability. Below is every date, the rules worth knowing, and what actually decides who gets a ticket once a night is gone. ## Every date, in order **The GB leg, September and October:** - **22 September** - Utilita Arena, Birmingham - **23 September** - Utilita Arena, Newcastle - **25 September** - Co-op Live, Manchester - **28 September** - OVO Hydro, Glasgow - **29 September** - Utilita Arena, Sheffield - **2 and 3 October** - The O2, London **The Irish leg, November:** - **9, 10, 12 and 13 November** - 3Arena, Dublin - **15 and 16 November** - SSE Arena, Belfast **Flowerovlove** is special guest for the London nights, where doors open at 6:30pm. ## Why Dublin is four nights and London is two That ratio is the most useful thing on this page, and it is not a scheduling accident. Horan is from Mullingar, an hour west of Dublin, and the 3Arena block is the biggest single-city stand of the whole run: four nights in a room holding about 13,000 against two at The O2, which holds around 20,000. The fourth Dublin night was added after the first three went on sale, which is the usual tell that a promoter has read the demand and gone back for more. For anyone chasing a ticket, the practical consequence is that **flexibility is worth more here than anywhere else on the tour**. Four nights in one city means four separate pools of tickets and four separate sets of people whose November plans can fall apart. A one-night show gives you one shot at a return. Dublin gives you four, and being open about which evening you go is the single biggest thing in your favour. The six-week gap between the legs matters too. The GB dates finish on 3 October and the Irish dates do not start until 9 November, so these are effectively two runs with two separate demand curves. Returns for Birmingham will be over before returns for Belfast have properly started. ## What tickets cost, and the rules that catch people out The Dublin nights went on sale from **EUR 51.70 to EUR 93.75** including booking and facility fees. That band is worth holding onto after a night sells out, because it is what capped resale works from: on a face-value channel a returned EUR 51.70 ticket comes back at EUR 51.70, while on an open marketplace it comes back at whatever a seller hopes you will pay. We have written up how the capped channels work in [the face-value guide](https://alertix.app/blog/sold-out-uk-tickets-face-value-guide) and [Twickets, explained](https://alertix.app/blog/twickets-explained-face-value-resale) . **Six tickets per person.** That was the limit at the general sale on 2 April 2026, and Ticketmaster states it reserves the right to cancel orders and tickets, without notice, from anyone trying to exceed it. It is enforced rather than advisory. **Mobile entry only.** Ticketmaster's own event guidance for this tour is blunt about it: your phone is your ticket. Plan for that if you are buying for a group, because it changes how people arrive. ### The resale rule The O2 enforces For the two London nights, The O2 sells through AXS and names **AXS Official Resale** as the route for reselling a ticket bought there, warning that tickets bought through unauthorised resellers may be invalid and entry refused. That is the venue's rule, not ours. A ticket from anywhere other than the venue's own site or axs.com is a risk you are taking on trust. ## Where each city's returns appear The sanctioned route differs by venue, and it is worth pinning down for your city rather than assuming. The London nights run through AXS, where a returned ticket drops back into the ordinary purchase flow on the event page and looks like any other ticket. The GB arena dates sold through Ticketmaster, and each event's own terms are the authority on which resale route that venue honours. Fan-to-fan listings capped at face value also appear across UK tours on Twickets. The Dublin nights are a different market and worth understanding separately. They sell on ticketmaster.ie in euros, and returns appear on Ticketmaster's own fan-to-fan resale there. Ireland's Sale of Tickets Act 2021 makes above-face-value resale unlawful for events *designated* under it, but designation applies event by event rather than to Irish events generally, so the event's own terms are the authority on whether these particular nights are covered. Worth reading them before you buy from anyone. The reliable method everywhere is the one in [the face-value guide](https://alertix.app/blog/sold-out-uk-tickets-face-value-guide) : read the event's terms, note the named channel, and make your account there before you need it. ## What happens between now and September Two things, in a predictable order, and most people get the second one wrong. **The remaining primary availability drains first.** A 13-night run across seven cities does not sell through in one motion. As of mid August 2026 The O2 still shows both London nights on sale, and ticketmaster.ie shows low availability rather than sold out on three of the four Dublin nights. If a night you want is still buyable, buy it now. **Then returns start, late.** Returned tickets come from plans breaking, and plans for an autumn show mostly break close to the show: work rotas, travel, weather, the person who bought six in April and is down to three by September. Expect very little for weeks, then real activity in the days before each individual date, 13 times over. That pattern is why setting up while the market is quiet is the whole game. The moment a night sells out is a bad time to start working out how its resale works. ## Where we come in Alertix watches UK resale listings and sends a push notification and an email the moment one appears, deep-linked to the listing, so the gap between a ticket coming back and you hearing about it stops being the thing that loses it. Our page for this run is the [Niall Horan tour page](https://alertix.app/events/t/niall-horan-dinner-party-live-on-tour-2036858085066153984) , where you pick the nights that work for you and how you want to hear. **One thing to be straight about, because it affects half the people reading this.** That page covers the GB and Northern Ireland dates, Belfast on 15 and 16 November included. It does not currently cover the four Dublin nights: those sell on ticketmaster.ie, which sits outside the listings market we watch. If Dublin is the one you want, set up a ticketmaster.ie account now and watch the official resale there directly. And it is worth knowing that Belfast is two hours from Dublin by train, is covered, and is the same tour two nights later, so it is a real fallback rather than a consolation. Two honest notes, same as always. We watch the public face-value resale market, not the box office, so we are the answer to "the night I want is gone", not a way to skip a queue. And we cannot guarantee anyone a ticket, because no alert service honestly can. What an alert changes is timing, which for listings that go in minutes is the only part that is actually winnable. ## FAQ ### What are the Niall Horan 2026 UK and Ireland dates? Thirteen arena nights. The GB leg runs 22 September at Utilita Arena Birmingham, 23 September Utilita Arena Newcastle, 25 September Co-op Live Manchester, 28 September OVO Hydro Glasgow, 29 September Utilita Arena Sheffield, then The O2 in London on 2 and 3 October. The Irish leg follows in November: 3Arena Dublin on 9, 10, 12 and 13 November, then SSE Arena Belfast on 15 and 16 November. Flowerovlove is special guest at The O2, where doors are 6:30pm. ### How many Niall Horan tickets can I buy? Six per person. Ticketmaster set that limit at the general sale on 2 April 2026 and reserves the right to cancel orders and tickets, without notice, from anyone who tries to exceed it. Entry is mobile only for this tour, so your phone is the ticket rather than a printout. ### Are the Niall Horan 2026 shows sold out? Not as of 17 August 2026, and it is worth checking before you look at resale. The O2 lists both London nights as on sale now, and ticketmaster.ie shows low availability rather than sold out on the first three Dublin nights, with more room on the fourth. If the night you want still has a primary ticket, buy that one. Resale is the answer to a night that has gone, not a better price on one that has not. ### How do I get a ticket once a night has sold out? Through returns rather than a queue. People whose plans change release tickets, those reappear on the channel the event sanctions, and for the London nights The O2 names AXS Official Resale and warns that tickets bought elsewhere may not be valid. Returns are not announced and go quickly, so the practical problem is hearing about one in time. ## Related guides - [Guide Electric Picnic 2027 sold out: how to get tickets now](https://alertix.app/blog/electric-picnic-2027-sold-out-tickets) - [Guide Fontaines D.C. arena tour sold out: how to get tickets for November](https://alertix.app/blog/fontaines-dc-uk-arena-tour-2026-sold-out-tickets) - [Guide Celine Dion in Paris: how to get residency tickets now they are sold out](https://alertix.app/blog/celine-dion-paris-residency-tickets-sold-out) [Set Up Alerts](https://alertix.app/events)
