How we measured this

  • The data is StubHub resale listings only: the cheapest ticket listed for each show when we last checked it (we check prices every hour). It is not face value, and not what tickets sold for.
  • Every upcoming concert at a UK venue with a listed price, for shows from 30 October 2026 to 7 December 2027. Each show counts once.
  • A city's figure is the median of its shows' cheapest prices: half list for less, half for more. A city appears once it has 25 priced shows, and the ranking is published once 8 cities have.
  • City is the venue's city as the listing gives it.
  • Prices are per ticket, before StubHub's booking fees. Updated 30 October 2026.
