Standing First Entry Information
To ensure a fair and comfortable concert experience for ticketholders interested in first entry at this event, a randomly allocated wristband system will be in place at the request of the artist’s team. This process is for standing ticket holders only, and only for those who wish to gain first entry to the standing area.
How will it work on the day?
Ticketholders will not be permitted to arrive at the venue before midday on the day of the show. If you arrive early, you will be asked to leave the site.
12pm – 2pm: Standing ticket holders who wish to partake in first entry must arrive at the Front Entrance of Brighton Centre on Kings Road between 12pm and 2pm to receive a randomly allocated numbered wristband.
These First Entry wristbands will designate your place in the queue and, once in receipt, you will be asked to leave the area and return to your randomly allocated position when queueing is permitted from 5pm.
First Entry wristbands will be limited.
On arrival, customers must present a valid standing ticket which will be scanned to allow one wristband per person.
The wristband will then become your ticket to the show. They are not transferable. If you tamper with, remove, break or lose your wristband you will not be permitted to attend the show.
5pm – 6pm: If you have collected a First Entry wristband, please return to the venue between 5pm – 6pm to form a queue at your designated position as guided by staff.
6.30pm: Doors will open for general admission
The First Entry wristbands will be split into different colours to show you which queue lane to join when you return.
FAQs:
What if you don’t collect a numbered first entry wristband?
Collecting a numbered wristband is only for standing ticketholders interested in first entry and is not mandatory. Standing ticket holders arriving from 6pm onwards can go to the Kings Road East Entrance (Odeon-end) to queue for entry to the venue. These doors will open after the First Entry wristband queue has entered.
What if I return late?
If you have a numbered First Entry wristband you must be present on time at the entrance. Late arrivals may lose their position. Latecomers should still go to their designated entrance and follow the instructions by staff.
When can I pick up a First Entry wristband?
Randomly numbered wristbands can only be collected at the venue between 12pm – 2pm or until all of them have been allocated.
How many First Entry wristbands can I collect?
A maximum of one wristband per valid standing ticket. Each First Entry wristband is personal: one wristband per visitor who is physically present. Lost, damaged, or removed wristbands are invalid. Wristbands cannot be transferred or exchanged.
When should I return to the venue for entry?
First Entry wristband holders must return between 5pm – 6pm. Late arrivals may lose their position.
Are the wristbands random?
Wristbands are mixed in advance, so the numbers are completely random.
I’m coming with friends or family. Will we be allocated together?
For groups of up to 6, if you check in together physically, you can stay together.
Where should I queue after 5pm?

Louis Tomlinson Announces 'How Did We Get Here?' World Tour 2026 with support from Pale Waves and ADMT (opener).
Following the release of his new single 'Lemonade', Louis has announced a huge world arena tour, visiting Europe and North America starting March 2026.
'Lemonade' is a mix of tight funkified guitars, shimmering keys, and organic percussion
leading to a captivating chorus.
Louis says: "The most important thing was for the first single to sound ambitious
sonically. It had to be big and fun. To me, ‘Lemonade’ really has instant and natural personality. It ended up being the perfect way to begin this chapter.”
The track debuted on BBC Radio 1 as their 'Hottest Record.' Louis also announced that his third album 'How Did I Get Here?' will be released in January 2026.
He said: “I sum up it as ‘The record I always deserved to make'. My bread and butter is the honesty. I genuinely wear my heart on my sleeve, and I hope it comes through in the music. I’m still learning and getting better as a singer and a songwriter. I find it impossible to be complacent; it’s not in my vocabulary. For the first time now, I’m allowing myself to be the artist I’d always hoped to be.”
