Peter Kay releases even more tickets for record-breaking tour after ‘phenomenal demand'
The additional tickets are for his newly announced 32nd show at the London venue, scheduled for Saturday, 26 July 2025.
It marks another milestone in what has become one of the most iconic comedy runs of all time.
Kay, 51, holds the distinction of being the only artist in the world to have a residency at The O2.
Now entering its third year, the residency shows no signs of slowing down. Every performance so far has sold out, with fans travelling from all over the UK and beyond to catch a glimpse of the beloved Bolton comic in action.
His monthly appearances at the 20,000-seat arena have been credited with redefining the scale and ambition of stand-up comedy on a global stage.
The comedian's triumphant return to live performing – his first full tour in over a decade – began in late 2022 with the aptly named Peter Kay: Better Late Than Never tour. It quickly became a cultural phenomenon. More Trending
Since then, he has smashed attendance records at venues across the UK, including a historic 100th show at Manchester's AO Arena. But it's his O2 residency that continues to turn heads in the industry, both for its longevity and its consistent sell-out crowds.
In a statement, organisers said tickets for the July 2025 date were released 'due to phenomenal demand,' urging fans to book early to avoid disappointment.
Kay has made headlines in recent years for his commitment to keeping ticket prices accessible, with some seats starting at just £35 – a contrast to the often sky-high pricing of arena events.
As the residency enters its third record-breaking year, fans and industry insiders alike are left wondering how much bigger this run could get. But one thing is certain: Peter Kay's legacy as one of the UK's greatest comedians is already firmly sealed.

Obama to host London event - here's how much tickets cost
Barack Obama is taking the stage in London this fall and offering guests the opportunity to say hello and share a drink. But the meet-and-greet with the former president will set you back a pretty penny, with tickets costing as much as $2,430 (£1,790). The 63-year-old's An Evening With President Barack Obama event will come to London's O2 Arena on September 24. Four VIP packages are currently available event organizer Seat Unique's website, ranging from $671 (£495) to more than $1,214 (£895) depending on the selected ticket package. The $1,214 dining package is nearly sold out with only six tickets remaining. It includes a four-course meal at the Gaucho steakhouse, a glass of champagne, a seat in the first ten rows at the O2, access to the Seat Unique Club afterparty, and a copy of Obama's book. General admission seats for the event, without all the bells and whistles of premium packages, are available for $172 (£127) each, according to Ticketmaster. A top tier VIP option, which according to the Evening Standard is only sold in pairs, will offer guests an opportunity to pose for a photo with Obama, subject to security clearance. The package is understood to be more expensive than the dining package, with the newspaper suggesting it will cost at least $2,430. However, the Daily Mail could not independently verify that price as these tickets appear to have already sold out. The cheapest hospitality package, titled the premium ticket, costs $671 per ticket and offers guests guaranteed premium seating, priority access to the arena, a welcome drink at the Seat Unique Club, post-show access to the club and a copy of Obama's new book. Two other hospitality packages - the Seventh Row and Seat Unique Club packages -cost $745 (£549) and $1,800 (£795), respectively. Tickets went on sale Thursday, with organizers having reportedly set aside 100 seats for charitable organizations. It is unclear if Obama, worth an estimated $70 million, will be donating any of the profits or ticket sales to charity or if he and Seat Unique will be pocketing the funds. Daily Mail has approached Seat Unique for further information. The event will see the president be interviewed by British-Nigerian historian David Olusoga. Obama is expected to speak about his experiences as a two-term US president and his thoughts on the future of the nation. The event organizers, in a statement to the Standard , said they are 'incredibly honored to bring President Obama to the UK'. 'His message of unity and progress resonates deeply, and we anticipate an evening that will inspire and empower all who attend,' the statement said. 'We believe in providing exceptional experiences, and this event perfectly aligns with our mission to connect people with inspiring moments.' Obama is a highly regarded speaker and in 2022 won an Emmy for best narrator for his work on the Netflix docuseries Our Great National Parks. He also previously won a Grammy for his audiobook reading of both his memoirs. But Obama's high-dollar prices are arguably a bit steep, with the top level ticket costing more than double what London-based Beyoncé fans paid to see her Cowboy Carter Tour last month.
