If you’ve been “Thinking Out Loud” about seeing Ed Sheeran live next year, American Express is giving its card members a head start. Starting Tuesday, September 23, Amex card members can snag presale tickets for select U.S. and Canada shows before the general public.
The presale runs through September 25, ending at 11:59 p.m. local time—while supplies last. With high demand, don’t wait for the “Photograph” moment to slip away—lock in your spot “Perfect”-ly early.
Perfect Seats Await: Inside the Amex Presale
- Advance access. Amex cardholders can access special “Amex Presale Tickets” for select Ed Sheeran shows. These tickets go on sale before the general on-sale date.
- Eligible shows. The presale includes a wide slate of U.S. and Canadian venues, including stadiums such as State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Soldier Field in Chicago, Empower Field in Denver, and many more.
- Time‐limited window. The presale begins at noon local time on September 23 and extends through September 25; tickets will be available to the general public after that period.

How Amex Cards Enable Presale Access
Having an American Express card is the key to entering the presale. Here’s how the mechanics work:
- You must pay using an Amex card. For example, you can use the American Express® Gold Card (Terms apply) to access the presale. The purchase must be made with an active Amex card. Prepaid Amex cards are excluded.
- Presale tickets are subject to availability and seat allocation. Presale doesn’t guarantee the “best” seats; only specific seats are available via Amex presale. High-demand sections may still be held back for later sales.
- Ticket seller’s rules apply. The presale tickets are sold by third-party ticket vendors, not directly by Amex. Those vendors, event promoters or the venues set prices, fees, refund policies and resale rules.
Shape Your Strategy: Tips To Make the Most of the Presale
- Make sure your Amex card is active and has sufficient funds, and have a backup payment option in case of technical glitches.
- Be ready at the start time (12 p.m. local time, September 23) since presales tend to move fast. Preparing your Amex login credentials, account info and venue selection can save minutes.
- You can check in advance which shows and cities are eligible. The presale list shows many big stadiums across the U.S. and Canada.
- Read all the fine print: fees, seat restrictions and refund policies. Those details often appear late in the checkout process.
- Compare against general on-sale options. If the presale seating isn’t ideal, waiting for the general sale might offer better value or more choices.
Bottom Line
For Ed Sheeran fans, the Amex presale opportunity is a valuable perk that can mean better seat options and earlier access. If you’re an Amex cardholder, this presale window (September 23 to 25) is worth using—but only if you prepare.
Check the eligible shows, have your payment and account info ready and read the terms to know exactly what you’re buying. That way, you’ll be ready when the music starts next year—and you won’t have to say “Give Me Love” to a sold-out crowd.
