Presale Information
There are several presales running across the Korn UK tour 2026 dates, and qualifying for at least one of them gives you a real head start before the general public gets access on Friday 20th March.
Artist Presale
This is the first presale to open, at 8:00am on Monday 17th March, and it's available across all five UK shows. To qualify, you'll need to be signed up to Korn's official mailing list. Head to kornofficial.com and register your email address. When the presale opens, you should receive a link or code via that email. You can find all the links you need for each show here on Evnt Central.
O2 Priority Presale
Available for all five dates, opening on Tuesday 18th March at 8:00am GMT. This one is straightforward if you're already an O2 mobile customer. Access it through the My O2 app or the O2 Priority app. No sign-up process required beyond having an active O2 contract.
Three Presale
Running at the same time as O2 Priority, opening Tuesday 18th March at 8:00am GMT. This presale is available for Leeds, Newcastle, and Manchester. If you're a Three mobile customer, you can access it via the Three+ app or Three's website. Worth checking if you're on Three and heading to one of those cities.
Download Presale
Opens Wednesday 19th March at 8:00am GMT, across all five UK dates. Download Festival has a long-standing relationship with heavy music, and this presale is typically accessible to those on the Download Festival mailing list or who hold a Download Festival ticket or registration. Check the Download Festival website for the exact qualification route.
Venue Presale
Also opens Wednesday 19th March at 8:00am GMT for all shows. Each venue runs its own presale for registered members or newsletter subscribers. If you're a member of The O2, AO Arena, Utilita Arena, or First Direct Arena's own loyalty or mailing list schemes, check your inbox on the morning of the 19th.
Live Nation Presale
Running on Wednesday 19th March at 8:00am GMT for all five dates. Sign up to Live Nation's mailing list at livenation.co.uk to qualify. It's one of the easier presales to access since registration is free and open to everyone.
Barclaycard Presale (Birmingham only)
A Barclaycard presale runs for the Birmingham show, opening Friday 20th March at 8:00am GMT, at the same time as the general sale. You'll need an eligible Barclaycard credit or debit card to access this one. Check Barclaycard's website for their current Entertainment offers.
The Deck Presale 2 (Leeds only)
An additional presale runs for the Leeds show at First Direct Arena, opening Wednesday 19th March at 8:00am GMT. This appears to be a venue-specific presale tier. Check the First Direct Arena website for registration details.
For full links and up-to-date presale access routes for each show, head to the individual event pages on Evnt Central here.
How to Maximise Your Chances
Sign up to the artist mailing list today. The Artist Presale opens first on Monday 17th March, a full three days before general sale. That's your best window. Go to kornofficial.com now and register if you haven't already.
Use your mobile network. O2 and Three presales both open on Tuesday 18th March. If you're on either network, this is one of the easiest routes in. You don't need to do anything in advance beyond having the relevant app on your phone.
Register with Live Nation for free. The Live Nation presale is open to anyone with a free Live Nation account. It opens Wednesday 19th March, so you've got a few days to sign up. It's a low-effort way to get earlier access.
Set up your ticketing account in advance. Whether it's Ticketmaster, AXS, or another retailer, have your payment details saved and your account verified before the presale goes live. Slow login or card issues at the checkout can cost you a ticket in a busy on-sale.
Follow Korn on Evnt Central to get notified the moment new shows or sale reminders are posted. You can also follow individual event pages to get alerts timed to each presale window.
