Accessible seats can be purchased by calling our Customer Service team on the Accessible Bookings line: 09 970 9711. This phone number is reserved for patrons with accessibility requirements and companion cardholders and cannot process any other ticketing requests.
Accessible tickets, both during the Presales and the General Public sale period, can also be requested via our Submit a request – Ticketmaster Help. Please be sure to include your relevant presale code or direct URL if wanting to make a booking during the presale period.
Venues are solely responsible for establishing their own accessible ticket policies. Availability and type of accessible seating tickets will vary by venue.
When will I receive my tickets for Drake?
So that we can confirm everyone has adhered to the ticket limits and didn’t use unfair ticket technology during the sale, tickets won’t be available immediately. They will be released closer to the event date.

Tickets for this tour will be mobile-only. Your phone is your ticket. Once tickets are ready to download, you can do so by logging into your Ticketmaster account on the Ticketmaster app.

We expect that tickets to Drake will be in high demand, and to make the process fair for everyone you may be placed in a queue.
You will be assigned a random place in the queue once the onsale starts. Your place in the queue is not based on what time you entered the Waiting Room. We suggest entering the Waiting Room 15-30 minutes prior to the start of the Presale.

We will get you through the queue as quickly as possible, so please sit tight.
