Dubai hosts diverse concerts featuring international stars like Ed Sheeran, Charlie Puth, and more, alongside local talents. While tickets can be pricey, options exist for budget-friendly enjoyment, such as free community events, discounts, and exploring local venues.
Here's how you can explore the Dubai concert scene without breaking the bank.
Look up the Dubai Calendar
To efficiently plan and budget for musical events in Dubai, utilize Visitdubai.com's official events calendar. Navigate to the "Dubai Calendar" section for event listings and explore "Deals & Offers" for available discounts. Download the Dubai Calendar app for alerts on shows and promotions.
Check out ticketing websites
To access a range of concert listings and ticket options in Dubai, platforms like Platinumlist, Coca-Cola Arena, Virgin Megastore, and Ticketmaster are valuable resources. Look for early bird deals for discounts. When purchasing from Platinumlist or Ticketmaster, apply promo codes for savings. Note that with some platforms like Coca-Cola Arena, E-Tickets are sent seven days before the event, so check your email promptly.
Join online groups, communities
To snag discounted concert tickets in Dubai, explore options like the 'UAE Concerts Discounted Tickets' Facebook group or relevant Reddit communities. Members often sell tickets at reduced prices due to last-minute cancellations. Additionally, you can post requests in these groups if tickets for your desired show are sold out.
Research the venue
Before heading to a concert venue, familiarize yourself with its rules and regulations regarding prohibited items like backpacks and cans. If relying on public transportation, budget for taxis if needed. For Coca-Cola Arena, non-drivers can utilize the metro to Dubai Mall station and walk to the arena. Drivers should gather parking and traffic information for a smoother experience.
