Fans have taken to social media after Take That’s big tour announcement with one big question about the pre-sale for tickets
Take That have sent their fans into a frenzy after announcing their biggest European tour in years with a huge band announcement on Friday. The band’s current trio of Howard Donald, Gary Barlow and Mark Owen will be heading back out on the road across the summer of 2027.
It will be the band’s biggest European run for some time – with 31 shows in 31 cities across 16 countries now announced. The band have also teased that “more shows to be announced in the coming weeks”.
Take That have confirmed details of the “first wave of international tour dates” in 2027 in support of their new album which will be released in the next few weeks. It will be named the Dreamers Tour, after the title of their 10th studio album which is set to be released imminently.

The news comes just weeks after the band completed their triumphant reboot of The Circus Live – filling stadiums across the UK and Ireland across this summer and playing to some 730,000 fans. The tour concluded in Dublin in July, at which point Gary, Mark and Howard headed off for a well-earned break.
But their time-off won’t last too long given the huge announcement of the new tour issued on Friday. As part of the announcement, fans have been told that there will be an exclusive artist pre-sale to be in with an early chance of getting tickets before the general on-sale takes place on Friday, September 4 at 10am.
That has sparked a bit of confusion among fans, as the method described is by “pre-ordering Take That’s new album Dreamers”. This is the same album that fans were asked to pre-order to gain a pre-sale code for Take That’s Circus Live tour when this was first announced last year.
At that time, the album was given the working title of “TT 10” – a nod to it being Take That’s tenth studio album. It has now been confirmed that the album is called Dreamers, but rest assured it is the same album that fans may have already pre-ordered ahead of the Circus tour.
It has left many fans puzzling if they’re supposed to buy the album again to get a pre-sale code. However, this is not the case – as there is an option on the Take That pre-sale where NO purchase is necessary but you can still get the access code sent to your inbox.
Here’s all the details of how the pre-sale is working for the Dreamers 2027 European Tour, which currently includes two dates for the UK and Ireland – in Belfast on June 30, 2027 and Limerick on July 2, 2027.
Plus all the info on the rules and limits on tickets for the new tour dates.
How to get Take That pre-sale code
The Dreamers Tour announcement confirmed that fans can get access to the artist pre-sale by pre-ordering the Dreamers album here. BUT if you read the small print, you don’t have to buy the album if you’ve already got it on order.
There is an option in the small print that details “no purchase is necessary”. If you click on this area on the website, it will take you to a page to enter your email without ordering the album.
You need to enter your details on the Take That webiste before 10am (11am CEST) on Tuesday, September 1, to receive an exclusive artist pre-sale code.
The pre-sale will then start from 10am local time on Wednesday September 2.
The other ways to get a pre-sale code is via Mastercard for people who use that credit card, and also venues will also have their own pre-sales for members, so it’s worth checking with the venue you’re looking at buying from if this is applicable.
For those looking to buy Belfast and Limerick tickets, there is an MCD pre-sale for MCD members which goes live on Thursday, September 3, with details on that here.
Rules on tickets
Fans are only allowed to use one pre-sale code per person, which can then be used to purchase a maximum of six tickets per person.
Fans are also urged to check age restrictions for individual tour dates.
When do pre-sale links get sent?
Once you have registered, you should receive an email straight away with instructions – check your junk if you haven’t got it. You have to press “Confirm your access” on your email at this stage to be eligible.
It then states that you will receive your pre-sale code and ticket link from Tuesday September 1 from 5pm.
The website states that if you do not receive a code by 8am BST (09am CEST) on Wednesday 2nd September 2026, you can contact Store Support support@umusicstoresupport.zendesk.com.
When does the pre-sale start?
The artist pre-sale goes live from 10am local time on Wednesday September 2. Fans should note that pre-sale access does not guarantee tickets.
When are tickets on general sale?
If you have no luck during the pre-sale, or can’t be bothered with all the email registering malarkey, you can buy your tickets when they go on general sale. This will be from 10am local time on Friday September 4.
