Ed Sheeran’s LOOP Tour is winding through Texas and Florida in late October and early November 2026. Three stops sit close together on the calendar—and they are not priced the same.
- Arlington, TX — Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, 5:30 p.m. at AT&T Stadium
- Hollywood, FL — Thursday–Friday, Oct. 29–30, 2026, 8:00 p.m. at Hard Rock Live
- Tampa, FL — Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, 5:30 p.m. at Raymond James Stadium (North American tour closer)
If you can travel, Arlington is usually the cheapest get-in. Hollywood is the expensive outlier because it’s a ~7,000-seat room instead of an 80,000-seat stadium. Tampa sits in the middle: stadium inventory, last U.S. date energy.

Quick price snapshot (resale floors, late Sept. 2026)
| City | Venue / date | Official seller | Typical cheapest listed seats | Why it prices this way |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arlington | AT&T Stadium · Oct 24 | Capital City Tickets | ~$92–$105 upper bowl | Huge inventory; Texas stadium date |
| Hollywood | Hard Rock Live · Oct 29–30 | Ticketmaster | ~$185 face / ~$288–$450+ resale | 7,000 seats, two nights, “intimate” LOOP date |
| Tampa | Raymond James Stadium · Nov 7 | Ticketmaster | ~$80–$190 depending on section and day | Stadium closer; more seats than Hollywood, hotter than mid-tour leftovers |
Sources for those ranges include SeatGeek event pages, USA TODAY tour price roundups, RateYourSeats Hollywood listings, and Hard Rock’s published $185 start. Always check live maps before you buy.
Winner for cheapest seats: Arlington.
Winner if you want the closest view: Hollywood (you pay for it).
Winner if you want the last U.S. LOOP night without Hard Rock prices: Tampa.

Arlington: cheapest seats, biggest room
When: Sat., Oct. 24, 2026 · 5:30 p.m. CT
Where: AT&T Stadium, 1 AT&T Way, Arlington, TX 76011
Official tickets: SeatGeek (official partner for AT&T Stadium)
Venue page: attstadium.com/events/ed-sheeran
This is a full stadium LOOP date. Listed get-in seats have been hovering around $93–$105 in the upper concourse, with lower-level and club jumping into the mid-hundreds and VIP much higher. That is still far below Hollywood’s floor.
How to buy cheap here
- Start on SeatGeek’s Arlington map—primary and verified resale sit on the same chart.
- Filter by price first, then check sightlines. The jumbo video boards help upper-bowl seats.
- Compare the same section on StubHub and Vivid Seats using all-in totals.
- Pre-buy parking on SeatGeek or DIBS rather than paying drive-up rates ($40–$75 is common near the building).
Know before you go
- Clear bag only: 12″ x 6″ x 12″ clear tote or 4.5″ x 6.5″ clutch. Details: AT&T Stadium bag policy.
- Cashless venue.
- Lots usually open hours before showtime; gates later. Confirm on the event page the week of the show.
- Openers on this routing have included Lukas Graham and Aaron Rowe (lineups can shift—check the ticket page).
Best cheap-seat strategy: 400-level corners/sides, not dead-center rear if you can spend $20–$40 more for a side angle.
Hollywood, FL: smallest room, highest prices
When: Thu., Oct. 29 and Fri., Oct. 30, 2026 · 8:00 p.m.
Where: Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood, FL 33314
Official tickets: Ticketmaster / myHRL.com
Venue page: Hard Rock Hollywood – Ed Sheeran
This is the only non-stadium North American LOOP stop. Capacity is about 7,000, seats are reserved, and official start was advertised at $185. Resale has been running $300–$450+ just to get in, with orchestra and lower balcony much higher. Thursday is often a few dollars cheaper than Friday, but neither is a bargain next to Arlington.
How to buy without overpaying
- Check both nights on Ticketmaster before you touch resale.
- If primary is gone, compare RateYourSeats Hollywood maps plus StubHub/Vivid—balcony rear is the “cheap” inventory here.
- Hotel + show packages at the Hard Rock can beat à-la-carte resale if you’re already staying on property.
- Doors typically open one hour before 8 p.m. All seats reserved—no festival pit chaos.
Know before you go
- Indoor, climate-controlled, clamshell seating.
- Casino / hotel campus parking (self-park garages; paid premium options).
- South Florida traffic on I-95 and 595 is the real cost after the ticket.
- Confirm bag and camera rules on Hard Rock Live the week of the show—arena rules differ from NFL stadiums.
Best cheap-seat strategy: upper balcony sides, not front orchestra unless the gap is small. Two nights means you can pick the weaker demand date.
Tampa: last U.S. stadium night, mid-pack prices
When: Sat., Nov. 7, 2026 · 5:30 p.m.
Where: Raymond James Stadium, 4201 N. Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33607
Official tickets: Ticketmaster (official LOOP seller for this date)
Venue: raymondjamesstadium.com
Tampa closes the North American stadium run. Get-in listings have shown up from the high $70s–$90s on some maps and closer to $180+ on others, depending on fees and section. That’s still usually well under Hollywood and often a bit above Arlington’s cheapest rows.
How to buy cheap here
- Official map first on Ticketmaster, then SeatGeek Tampa.
- Upper corners and far end zone are where the low prints live.
- Buy parking in advance—on-site concert parking often lands $30–$60+; some resale parking listings have been higher.
- Don’t assume “tour finale” automatically means sold out. Stadium leftover inventory can soften midweek.
Know before you go
- No-bag venue: one clutch 4.5″ x 6.5″ only. No clear tote exception like AT&T. Lockers are available near the gates for a fee. Policy: Raymond James Stadium policies.
- No re-entry.
- Cashless parking. Lots open hours before gates—check the event page.
- Tailgating is allowed in designated lots; overnight parking is not.
Best cheap-seat strategy: upper sideline, not the last rows of the closed end if the stage is at one end. Confirm the concert configuration on the live map.
Which city should you actually buy?
Buy Arlington if you want the lowest ticket and don’t mind a football stadium. Dallas–Fort Worth also gives you more hotel competition.
Buy Hollywood if you want a theater-scale LOOP show and will pay 3–4× Arlington’s floor for it. Pick the softer of the two nights.
Buy Tampa if you live in Florida, want the last U.S. stadium date, and Hollywood’s prices look absurd. Pair it with a weekend in Tampa rather than driving to Broward only for Hard Rock.
Skip “first listing you see.” Same seat can differ $40–$100 across SeatGeek, Ticketmaster resale, StubHub, and Vivid Seats once fees hit.
Buying guide (presale is over—this is the live market)
Official LOOP sellers by city:
- Arlington → SeatGeek
- Hollywood → Ticketmaster
- Tampa → Ticketmaster
That’s from Ed Sheeran’s own North America FAQ. Resale on other sites is secondary inventory.
Avoid getting burned
- Use all-in pricing. A $79 ticket that becomes $118 at checkout is not the deal.
- Mobile transfer only. Screenshot tickets fail at a lot of gates.
- Check transfer lock windows (some primary tickets stay locked until close to show week).
- Compare two marketplaces with the same section/row before you tap buy.
- Parking and “VIP souvenir” add-ons are separate—don’t confuse them with cheap seats.
