AO Arena celebrates 30 years in Manchester by giving away free tickets for a year

The AO Arena is making sure our 30th year in Manchester will be memorable.

Not just for 2025’s stellar line-up with Kylie Minogue and Katy Perry already confirmed, but also because we’re kicking off our anniversary celebrations with a ground-breaking competition.

Someone is going to win free tickets for a year.


Turning 30 has made us feel a bit nostalgic. We’d love you to share your best memories of the AO Arena with us.

The songs that made you well up, the comedy stars that made you laugh so much you cried, the icons that inspired you.

Share your photos, videos and reels for the best birthday card ever.

Inspired by Adele’s When We Were Young performance at Glastonbury 2016, all submitted footage will be projected on the screens of the arena in a video montage before every performance.

We’re hoping to celebrate our past 30 years in this interactive communal nostalgia-fest while making new memories with a packed line-up for 2025. It’s like coming full circle; your favourite moments, on display, in the place where those formative memories were made.

To thank you for all your support on our musical journey, we’re giving away free tickets for a year to one lucky winner. What’s more, the prize also includes VIP access to some of our most sought after seats.

Plus, three runners-up will receive a pair of standard tickets to one show a month of their choice throughout 2025subject to availability. With one show a month, that’s a staggering twelve headline highlights making even more precious memories.
