Are there standing tickets in Birmingham?
Last year we adapted the main standing floor to be seated, as this allowed better family access to the floor area so everyone could be closer to their favourite artists. We will be following the same again for this year's show, but don't worry if you want to stand and have a dance!
We have also introduced staging that extends into the crowd with side of stage standing tickets available for the ultimate up-close experience! Look out for Pod tickets when purchasing your tickets to gain access to this area. Please note age restrictions apply in these standing spaces.
Are there any age restrictions for those attending?
Hits Radio Live is a family friendly event and a great night out for all the family to enjoy. There are age restrictions for your child’s safety, please see below.
Seated Areas: Anyone aged 14 or under with a valid ticket must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or older with a valid ticket.
Standing Areas: Anyone under the age of 14 is strictly not permitted in the standing areas. Those aged under 16 (15 and 16 year olds) with a valid ticket need to be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or older with a valid ticket.
