Take That enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the band's highly anticipated 2025 tour are being issued a crucial warning about ticket purchases that could save them from disappointment at the venue doors.
The Resale Ticket Trap
Fans searching for tickets to see Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen live in concert next year might be tempted to turn to resale platform Viagogo when official tickets sell out. However, purchasing through this route could result in being turned away at the event, despite holding what appears to be a valid ticket.
Why Venues Are Refusing Entry
Multiple UK arenas scheduled to host Take That's 2025 performances have explicitly stated they will not honour tickets bought through Viagogo. The OVO Arena Wembley has confirmed that only tickets purchased from authorised sellers will be accepted, leaving Viagogo buyers potentially stranded outside.
"Only tickets purchased via official agents are valid for admission," a spokesperson emphasised, highlighting the risk fans take when opting for unofficial resale platforms.
Official Sales Channels
Genuine Take That tickets are exclusively available through authorised vendors including Ticketmaster, AXS, and Gigantic. With the band's massive popularity and limited ticket availability, fans are advised to exercise patience and persistence rather than risking their money and concert experience with unauthorised resellers.
Protecting Your Concert Experience
Music lovers are encouraged to:
- Purchase only from official ticket partners
- Avoid desperation buys on resale platforms
- Verify ticket authenticity before payment
- Be wary of significantly marked-up prices
With the excitement building for Take That's return to the stage, ensuring your ticket is legitimate could mean the difference between singing along to your favourite hits and watching from the car park.
