How To Get Tickets To Ariana Grande’s One Love Manchester Benefit Concert
Following the terrorist attack during the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, last week, the singer will be returning to the country to hold a concert to help the victims of the Manchester Arena explosion.
On Tuesday, the “Side to Side” singer, who has placed her “Dangerous Woman” tour on hold following the attack which resulted in 22 deaths and 59 injured, tweeted out the date of the upcoming benefit concert called One Love Manchester. She also revealed the website where fans can go to obtain tickets.

Fans who attended Grande’s concert on May 22 are eligible to receive free tickets to the One Love Manchester concert. Fans must register for free tickets by filling out the form located on the benefit website by 4 p.m. BST on Wednesday. During registration, fans will also be allowed to request the same number of tickets that they purchased for Grande’s original concert for the benefit show.
Once registered, the customer will receive an email from Ticketmaster containing a unique link that will allow them to redeem their free ticket or tickets up until Friday.
Tickets for the general public will go on sale Thursday at 10 a.m. BST, however, those who cannot attend still have an opportunity to view the concert. The event will broadcast on BBC Television, BBC Radio and Capital Radio Networks.
Aside from Grande taking the stage for the benefit, concertgoers can expect to see Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, Miley Cyrus, Usher, Niall Horan, Coldplay and Take That perform during the One love Manchester show. Although only nine acts have been announced thus far, TMZ reportes as many as 10 performers can take the stage on the special night.
All proceeds will go to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund, which was set up by the Manchester City Council in partnership with the British Red Cross. The event is expected to gross at least $2 million.
The explosion, which was caused by a nail bomb, occurred at the end of Grande’s concert shortly after the singer left the stage. In multiple videos posted online, fans can be seen in the arena where a loud bang goes off which results in a stampede as concertgoers attempt to rush to the nearest exit.
ISIS has since claimed responsibility for the attack and 22-year-old Salman Ramadan Abedi was identified as the suicide bomber who set off the device. Police later took his older brother into custody as an additional suspect in the attack.
A few days after the explosion, Grande wrote a special message to the victims and their families. “My heart, prayers and deepest condolences are with the victims of the Manchester Attack and their loved ones. There is nothing I or anyone can to do to take away the pain you are feeling or to make this better,” the singer wrote.
Although she cannot fix the feelings of those affected by the attack, Grande is making an effort to financially be there for the families in need. Grande’s concert will take place on Sunday, June 4, at the Old Trafford cricket ground in Manchester.
