On the day of a concert on sale the box office usually opens at 9am. Please be aware that we do allow customers to queue up to purchase tickets in person from the Arena Box Office, but only on the day of on sale. As there is no access to facilities outside of operating hours coupled with the fact we often have events on for which require clear entrance and access to the building, queuing to purchase tickets is only allowed on the day of an on sale - people queuing before this will be asked to return on the day of the on sale.

Box Office is open on Sundays only when an event is taking place, from midday until half an hour after the advertised start time of the event. Payment can be made by cash, cheque, Access, Visa or Switch Card. Credit Card bookings are subject to a 2% commission fee.

Pre-paid ticket collection 

Tickets are usually available for collection 48 hours after your booking has been made, but this will change if tickets are souvenir or you book on the day/day before the concert.

All pre-booked tickets that are collected from the Sheffield Arena can only be collected by the credit card holder who must sign for the tickets and present the card with which they have ordered the tickets.

You can collect your tickets from Entrance C Box Office which remains open until the main artiste is due on stage. Should the location of the box office change on the day stewards will direct you to the alternative box office.

Parents & Carers Guide to Concerts 

Usually, there is no age limit on who can come to events taking place at the Arena. However if unsure, please check with the box office before booking as some events may be deemed unsuitable for Children below a certain age. Often it is left to the discretion of the parent or guardian and you can download The National Arenas Association information to help you ensure that your visit to the Arena is an enjoyable one for both you and your children. Some events at the Arena have a standing area on the floor and this area may not be suitable for children aged 14 & under and therefore we recommend that tickets should be purchased in a seated area of the Arena.

Lost tickets 

Please be careful with your tickets as it may not always be possible to issue duplicate tickets.

Should you lose your tickets please contact the box office immediately, either email sheffieldboxoffice@livenation.co.uk, call 0114 256 56 56 or write to Sheffield Arena Box Office, Broughton Lane, Sheffield S9 2DF. Remember to state the name and address under which the tickets were booked and if known the seat numbers.

Please be aware that we will not duplicate standing tickets under any circumstances - this is the reason we will only post these tickets out through the post office's Special Delivery Service as this recover's the cost of the tickets should they be lost during their postage.

If the lost tickets are for a seated area then we should be able to organise duplicates - duplicate tickets will only be issued prior to entry to the performance - these tickets are never issued in advance as they override all other tickets previously issued.

Please be aware there may be a cost for printing duplicate tickets.
