Tickets are not currently available for sale, however there are two ways you can go about getting pre-sale tickets for the Greatest Hits UK and Ireland tour.

First, you can pre-order the Vamps’ official zine from their website. The zine costs £24.99 and includes a 68 page zine book, featuring exclusive interviews and behind the scenes photos, a CD compiled by the Vamps, including five unreleased tracks, four special edition postcards, one double sided artcard and a hidden QR link to bonus content exclusive to the zine.

The zine will be released on 14 October, with delivery available from £1.95.

Orders must be made before 4pm on Tuesday 28 June to be eligible for a pre-sale code. The codes themselves will be emailed out from 6pm on Tuesday 28 June, with the pre-sale beginning at 10am on Wednesday 29 June.

Alternatively, you can simply sign up to get pre-sale access for the tour without purchasing the zine. Again, you need to register your details before 4pm on Tuesday 28 June to receive your exclusive ticket pre-sale code.

You can register through the Vamps’ website, and you’ll need to provide personal details like your name, email, date of birth, country and mobile number. You should be aware that tour dates may be age restricted and that pre-sale access does not guarantee a ticket.

General ticket sale will begin on Friday 1 July for those without pre-sale access or those who were unable to get a ticket during the pre-sale.

You’ll be able to buy tickets either through AXS, Ticketmaster or AEG Presents.
