About TicketDay

The biggest UK ticket sales are over in minutes. Most people only get one go a year, and they spend it on a page they've never seen, with a countdown running and a group chat full of registration numbers.

TicketDay lets you practise that first. You wait in a realistic queue, get through, enter a group's details against the clock, deal with the errors that catch people out and check out. Then you do it again until it feels routine.

How the simulators are built

Every rule in a simulator comes from the official information published for that sale: timings, prices, booking limits and the wording of the key messages. Each rule is recorded as either confirmed by the organiser or simulated by us, and we check the official sources again whenever they change. Anything we can't confirm, such as how long the queue will be, is marked as practice behaviour.

The dates and prices on each event page come from the same place. When something changes, the "Updated" date at the top of the page changes too.

What we don't do

TicketDay doesn't sell tickets, doesn't connect to any real ticketing system and can't change your place in a real queue. It is independent and isn't affiliated with any festival, venue or ticket seller. Queue practice is free, and full booking practice is a one-off £1.99.

Who runs it

TicketDay is a small independent UK project. Spotted something that doesn't match the real sale? Tell us at [email protected] and we'll correct it.
