Mariah Carey is coming to the UK to bring Christmas cheer and lots of hits and there are still ways to get tickets to hear one of pop’s most incredible voices
Queen of Christmas Mariah Carey is playing three pre-Christmas shows in the UK and tickets have all but sold out. That said, there are still ways to get in on the action and give yourself or a loved one a real festive treat.
Mariah Carey is the best-selling female artist of all time and still has the magic. She’s bringing classic Christmas songs and her unforgettable hits to the Utilita Arena Birmingham, on Friday, November 27; London’s O2, on Monday, November 30, and Co-op Live, in Manchester, on Wednesday, December 2.
There are Mariah Carey tickets available via resellers such as Viagogo, StubHub and Vivid Tickets. These are not official ticket outlets but allow fans to sell to other fans but official outlets such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation sometimes forbid the transfer of tickets so check terms and conditions.
That said, Viagogo, StubHub and Vivid Tickets all offer guarantees to users of their sites. Prices are subject to change though.
VIP packages are also available via official premium ticketing site Seat Unique. Prices are yet to be confirmed for the London concert but Mariah fans in and around Manchester have a few VIP options to choose from here for a truly unforgettable experience. We reckon these are the packages that Mariah herself would go for if she went to see Mariah Carey sing in a parallel universe. Anyway, we digress.
The Backstage Club package starts at £419 and comes with a host of benefits, including what are described as “the best seats in the venue” in The Hideaway, a free drink and food before the show, exclusive cloakroom and toilet facilities and access to the Backstage Club “to keep the party going” subject the curfew at the venue.
Fans who have reviewed recent shows have been blown away by Mariah’s voice.
One review reads: “Mariah always takes you back to the heyday of the 90s, when singers could actually sing. Great Christmas songs with a set of classic Mariah hits.”
Another fan who saw Mariah Carey perform at the Royal Sandringham Estate last year said: “The show was absolutely amazing, such an unforgettable experience! And Mariah was incredible, her voice, her presence, everything was perfection. Truly a night to remember!”
Described by on long-term fan as “the GOAT (greatest of all time)”, while another said: “She is unreal! Her music, her lyrics and that voice takes you back.”
However, one fan criticised the show, saying that there were “too many outfit changes”.
Ticketmaster said: “The UK shows follow Mariah’s hugely successful Christmas spectaculars around the world and will give British fans the chance to experience the magic live, as one of the most celebrated voices in music brings Christmas to three of the UK’s biggest arenas.
“With a career spanning more than three decades, Mariah Carey has created one of the most extraordinary catalogues in music history, with global hits including 'Fantasy', 'Hero', 'Always Be My Baby', 'We Belong Together', 'Emotions', 'Touch My Body', 'Heartbreaker' and many more.
“This November, Christmas officially begins when Mariah arrives in the UK.”
