Radiohead 2025 Tickets: O2 London Dates & Prices

Legendary rock band Radiohead is returning to Europe for the first time in seven years. As fans eagerly anticipate the opening night of the tour, the band has also taken action to halt ticket touts and resale sites. Here is everything you need to know about the Radiohead shows in London - including dates, prices, registration and risks of buying from 'resellers' or secondary ticketing sites.

Why Radiohead Is Taking a Strong Stand on Resale Sites

Radiohead has cautioned fans against using secondary ticketing and touts. The band said the majority of listings on resale sites are exploitative, and tickets are often listed for many thousands of pounds before they have even gone on sale.

• Some listings appear speculative - tickets are advertised before they exist, which experts say that may be against consumer protection law.
• As a word of warning, Radiohead said that fans who purchase tickets from these sites may be refused entry to the shows.
• The band, together with groups like FanFair Alliance and FEAT (Face-value European Alliance for Ticketing), wants to stop unauthorised sales at sky high prices.

These measures are part of Radiohead's ongoing drive to make sure tickets get to real fans for a reasonable price, and not into the hands of outright profits seeking people.

Key Dates, Venues & Cities for the 2025 Europe Tour

Radiohead will be doing 20 shows, in five major cities in Europe, this fall and early winter.

Below are the major tour stops:

• Madrid (Spain) — early November

• Bologna (Italy) — mid-November 

• London (UK), O2 Arena — November 21, 22, 24, 25 

• Copenhagen (Denmark) — early December

• Berlin (Germany) — early to mid December

How Ticket Registration Works & What Fans Should Do

Due to the anticipated high demand, Radiohead set up a registration system to make the ticketing process fairer. Here is how it works:

• Registration opened 10am BST on Friday, 5 September 2025 and closed at 10pm BST on Sunday 7 September.
• You had to register on the band’s website, provide your contact details and select which cities you could attend. Then, wait for an unlock code.
• Unlock codes were sent via email by 10pm BST on Wednesday 10 September. The unlock codes allow you to access the initial ticket sale.
• Even with a code you still do not have any guarantee of a ticket. There are restrictions: one code per person, up to four tickets for one show only.

If you did not receive a code, you will be placed on a waiting list status automatically. Additional codes may be distributed if any are freed up from returns, cancellations or unsold allocations.

Ticket Prices & Purchase Rules for London O2 Shows

Here are the specifics for tickets in London at the O2: what things cost, what restrictions there are, and what to watch out for.

• Cost bands: Standing tickets cost £85. Seating tickets range from £75 to £195 depending on where they are located.
• Each person is limited to four tickets for one show only. If you buy for more than one date or multiple people under different registrations, your tickets are probably going to be cancelled.
• People living near the venue are given priority, but fans travelling from further away can still register to hope for.

What to Be Careful About: Risks of Buying from Resellers

Despite Radiohead's protections many resale listings appeared early, including some listings before any tickets for sale were made.

Here is a list of things for fans to keep an eye out for:

• Profiteering listings: sellers list tickets they do not have and hope to fulfil later. This can be a scam..
• Government plans could impose even stricter resale regulations soon. Discussions are already happening about imposing a cap on how much higher above face value a ticket can be sold for (as high as 30% has been proposed.)
• Unreasonable price hikes: some resale sites had listings at prices well above their face value (often thousands of pounds for just a handful of seats).

Radiohead has one message: only buy from reputable, authorised sources and be suspicious of deals that seem too good to be true.

What Fans Should Do Next

If you want to see Radiohead in London, then you need to take these steps:

1. If you registered check your email and see if you received and unlock code by 10pm BST on 10 September.
2. Use the unlock code for the Friday 12 September sale, but be prepared for high demand.
3. Limit yourself to four tickets and one date — don't try to pull a fast one, as your purchase may likely be canceled.
4. Don't go through unverified resale sites. If the deal looks too good to be true or the platform has a reputation for speculative or inflated listings, then just keep moving on.
5. If you didn't get a unlock code via waiting lists, watch for more unlock codes to come through.
