Dermot Kennedy ‘A Promised Return’ Ticket Prices Uncovered

Whoa, hold onto your latte—your ticket-shopping aunt is buzzing with Dermot Kennedy ticket intel that’ll jolt you awake! If you’ve been stalking Ticketmaster and refreshing Live Nation like it’s the latest celebrity tea page, you’re not alone. Officially announced on Dermot’s website and confirmed by Live Nation’s press release on March 15, the A Promised Return Tour kicks off this spring, and yes, those price tags vary more than my mood before my third espresso.

General admission seats start at about $59.50 (plus fees, because of course), according to Ticketmaster’s verified listings for New York’s UBS Arena. Fan club members scored a presale window—shout-out to Dermot’s Dreamers Club—for as low as $49, but you had to sign up by February 28 (which, if you ask me, feels like ages ago). If you snoozed, standard onsale began April 1, with most U.S. shows hovering in the $75–$125 range, city by city.

Now, if you’re craving a VIP experience (and who isn’t, right?), the Elevate Package clocks in around $299. That includes early entry, a commemorative Laminate, and an exclusive soundcheck peek—reports from Pollstar confirm only a limited number of these go on sale. There’s also the deluxe Meet & Greet Bundle at $399, which promises a quick selfie, signed merch, and maybe even a “hug of destiny” courtesy of Dermot himself (source: Live Nation VIP brochure).

Over in Europe, fans are paying between €65 and €150 for floor or lower-tier seats, per The Scottish Sun’s regional ticket roundup. UK stadium dates, like London’s O2 Arena, edge closer to £160 for prime spots; VIP upgrades there hit £350 with no kidding. Secondary market mavens on StubHub warn of markup, sometimes pushing general admission into the $200+ zone for hot cities like Chicago or Dublin—so weigh resale risks versus scoring legit presale codes.

Pro tip from yours truly: opt for venue club memberships (they often drop 48-hour fans-only codes) and follow Dermot’s socials—he’s hinted at surprise openers via Instagram Stories. And don’t overlook the mobile-only price drops that Ticketmaster sometimes rolls out 24 hours before showtime (this aunt lives for those midnight alerts).

I have to admit, I could prattle on about seating charts and fee breakdowns forever, but your wallet might revolt. Whether you’re camping outside Willowbrook Amphitheater or snagging a last-minute mobile deal, Dermot’s emotional ballads will make every penny worth it. Whew—my caffeine buzz is fading, but your concert plans should be firing on all cylinders now. I swear, I could talk about ticket strategies until the encore!
