encoded: Just when you thought the football season was over, it starts up all over again – it's like the back to school shop but more fun! Last year, Liverpool scored their 20th league title under the management of Arne Slot in his first season. Meanwhile, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea and Newcastle secured a place in the Champion's League race with top five finishes. Leeds have returned to the Premier League after a two-year absence and Burnley came back at the first time of asking. They will be joined by Sunderland, who got promoted to the Premiership for the first time since 2017 after emerging triumphant from the Championship Play-off Final. This season, we're expecting just as much drama with Ange Postecoglou's replacement now named as Thomas Frank from Brentford and Crystal Palace taking their first-ever step into Europe. In short, it's a season that's been filled with intrigue from the off, and you won't want to miss a second of it. So, here's everything you need to know about how to get tickets to the 25/26 Premier League season, even if you don't have a membership.

Because of this, we're seeing sites like Ticketmaster introduce registration for artists such as Beyoncé, Olivia Rodrigo, Oasis and Pink. As well as registering for tickets, another way of improving your chances of getting tickets is going via pre-sales, such as O2 Priority pre-sale, AMEX pre-sale, Artist pre-sale and Ticketmaster pre-sale.

encoded: Not quite theatre, not quite art and not quite museums, immersive experiences are a world unto themselves – literally! This multi-sensory phenomenon has taken off massively in the last few years, with dozens of interactive exhibits, games and performances springing up around the UK, especially in London. Nowadays you can visit a warehouse that looks perfectly normal on the outside, but inside has the world of your favourite TV show, game, or period of history. Seriously, everything from Minecraft to Squid Game to the story of the Titanic is now available in immersive fashion. But are these experiences actually worth it? And, more importantly, are they worth the money? According to the 2024 Immersive Audience Report 73% of audiences prioritise value for money when picking an immersive experience, so that's what we're doing. Below, we've put together a list of the best immersive experiences now on in London that we believe are genuinely worth your time and cash.

encoded: Ah, Ticketmaster. We haven’t had a love/hate relationship like this since Crocs came back into fashion. It's fair to say the ticketing giant has had its ups and downs in recent years, but that doesn't stop us practically kissing the screen when we get the notification that says we’re next in the queue to see our favourite artist. On the flipside, we all know that gut-punch feeling when we're 28,000th in the queue and can see any chance of affordable tickets slipping through our fingers. Last September, following the heat around Oasis tickets, Ticketmaster changed its systems to move away from so-called 'dynamic pricing'. The retailer is now required to tell fans 24 hours in advance if a tiered pricing system will be used for a sale, and they will also have to display information about ticket prices throughout online queues. Here at RadioTimes.com, we're on hand to help you navigate the trying Ticketmaster world. Read on for top tips and tricks to beat the Ticketmaster queue, including how to sign up to presale release, what devices to queue on, and the crucial refresh rules. Based in the UK?

How to get pre-sale tickets on Ticketmaster Firstly, what is a presale? Presale tickets are available to buy before they’re released to the general public. It’s a way for artists' biggest fans to get early access. There are a few ways you can sign up for presale tickets, for example, by joining an artist's mailing list or purchasing their most recent record. You can also get access through a network provider like O2 and Three UK, through event organisers like Live Nation, and credit card companies like American Express and Mastercard. Some venues, such as OVO Hydro in Glasgow and Co-op Live in Manchester, also hold presales. Event organisers like Live Nation will send email alerts about their upcoming presales…

encoded: We all wish we could wave a wand that magically makes everything cheaper, but sadly there are no shortcuts or reducio spells in the real world. When the period between paydays is so long and the cost of a fun day out is so high, you’ve often got to be picky about which experiences you choose to do. But here at RadioTimes.com, we believe you shouldn’t have to sacrifice those important memory making moments just because of the cost. Now, we’re apparating into the wonderful wizarding world of Harry Potter. The Making of Harry Potter studio tour in Leavesden remains – despite opening over a decade ago – a hugely successful sell-out event. This means the cost of entry has remained high, with tickets starting at £56. We know how quickly ticket costs can add up, especially if you’re taking your family. When you factor in travel, hotel stays, and the inevitable butter beer expenses, you’re looking at a pretty big pile of galleons! So, we’ve gathered our army of nifflers and dug out the best cost-effective ways of getting to Harry Potter studios this summer. Sadly, we can’t do much about the base ticket price, but what we have done is find a good number of bundles and packages that can save you money in the long run. Now, grab that floo powder and let it whisk you away to the land of great savings. For more cost-saving advice, here's how to get cheap football tickets, how to get cheap cinema tickets and how to get cheap Disneyland tickets.

description: You may have heard the term 'Rush ticket' before, but what does it actually mean? And how do you get one?
encoded: With prices for West End theatre shows staying high and the most popular shows booked up months in advance, sometimes you have to look at other methods to get yourself a seat in the audience. So, when it comes to getting cheap theatre tickets or last-minute ones, we'd recommend taking a look at Rush tickets. These same-day seats are a great way of seeing that musical you've been hearing all about, and at a lower cost. From legacy shows like Hamilton to newer additions like Woman in Mind, you can get Rush tickets for all sorts of West End offerings. Plus, you can get Rush tickets for other popular productions like ABBA Voyage. In this piece, we're looking specifically at the Rush tickets available at TodayTix. Although there are other ticketing sites that offer last-minute bookings, TodayTix covers a lot of West End shows , and has a very easy method for bagging last-minute seats. It's worth noting that just because there are Rush tickets available doesn't mean that there aren't better prices out there. Before you buy we'd always suggest checking out the price of a show on each West End ticketing site, for example Ticketmaster, London Theatre Direct, Headout, LOVEtheatre, SeatPlan and ATG Tickets, as some may have lower booking fees than TodayTix. If you want a bit more advice on this, take a look at how to get cheap theatre tickets. Otherwise, let's check out how Rush tickets work and how you can buy some.

description: Here's our complete guide to bagging cheap theatre tickets for the UK's top shows, including ones in London's West End.
encoded: Savings on top shows can be hard to come by, but if you're keen to find theatre tickets for less, you've come to the right place. First, we'll start with some advice. While this guide offers the best sites and methods for saving on theatre tickets, plus some great deals, there's also an element of luck and timing involved. Almost every show has a limited run in its given theatre, and if you've got a particular show or genre in mind, your chances of getting cheap tickets will be impacted by how in-demand those tickets are and how much of the show's run remains. There are, of course, some shows which have extremely long runs — ahem, The Mousetrap... A top tip is to do your ticket shopping last-minute. Sometimes, if a show hasn't sold enough and there are lots of seats remaining, prices will plummet for last-minute buyers. Even sold-out shows may have tickets returned on the day as people realise they can no longer make it, so it's always worth checking with the box office or online. If you're looking for London shows and can trot along in person, it's worth checking out some of the booths in Leicester Square, which often offer discounted tickets. Finally, it's often cheaper to find theatre tickets outside of the capital. While some of the UK's most renowned shows are put on in the West End and around London, the UK has a thriving theatre scene and there are fantastic shows to be found wherever you're based, as well as musicals on tour. Now, let's help you find them. Plus, check out our Paddington Musical review, as well as our roundup of the best comedians on tour.

description: Got your sights set on a trip to London this year? You can't miss a visit to the London Eye.
encoded: The London Eye – or Millennium Wheel – has long been one of London's most iconic attractions. Pulling in over three million visitors per year, the tourist spot offers spectacular views of the capital, with clear days offering a view of up to 40km away. The wheel was first designed in 1993 as a way of marking the millennium and, like the Eiffel Tower, was intended to be temporary. But in 2002, Lambeth Council granted the Eye a permanent license, allowing this glorious structure to stand on London's Southbank for years to come. What's more, the Eye now plays a key role in the UK's annual New Year's Eve fireworks display, and of course it's seen thousands of proposals within its 32 pods. But, if we had to pick one draw back, it would be the cost. Like most London attractions, the London Eye isn't cheap, so below we've pulled together a full list of the best ways to save on entry tickets.

Wicked's Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey tipped to reunite on the London stage for beloved musical in 2027

description: The Wicked co-stars are rumoured to be returning to the world of musicals in 2027.
encoded: A Wicked reunion is in the works, as Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey are rumoured to be heading for the London stage in 2027. The pair are said to be appearing in a West End revival of Stephen Sondheim's Sunday in the Park With George, although no official announcement has been made. According to Deadline, the show is planning a summer 2027 run at The Barbican Theatre, which is also set to host Call the Midwife's Helen George in High Society, next May. Sunday in the Park With George is a Tony-Award winning musical that has been dubbed by some as the world’s most acclaimed musical. Written by Sondheim and James Lapine, the show is based around George Seurat's famous painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. The adaptation follows Seurat as he struggles to complete what would become his masterpiece, becoming overwhelmed by his need to finish the hat. As a result, he isolates himself from everyone important to him, including long-time lover Dot. Ariana Grande has recently confirmed she'll be taking a break from popstardom after finishing up her 2026 Eternal Sunshine tour. Speaking on Good Hang with Amy Poehler she said: “I'm very excited to do this small tour. But I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long time. "I’m going to give it my all, and it’s going to be beautiful, and I’m so grateful. I think that’s why I’m doing it. Because I’m like, one last hurrah. For now.” Jonathan Bailey has likewise shared that he'll be pausing acting work to focus on his charity, The Shameless Fund. Which means a 2027 musical run would line up for both. Bailey recently starred in Bridge Theatre's Richard II while Grande has never appeared on the West End stage. Let's hope, for the sake of Glinda and Fiyero fans, an announcement comes soon.

Paranormal Activity review: Theatre horror that startles rather than haunts

description: Spooky things are afoot at the West End.
encoded: Directed by Felix Barrett and written by Levi Holloway, Paranormal Activity makes the jump from screen to stage with a new adaptation that leans into atmosphere and theatrical surprise rather than outright terror. Horror, at its best, is rarely just about scaring audiences. It often explores deeper emotional and psychological ideas, and Holloway is clearly interested in that territory. In an interview with Radio Times, he spoke about how "people are haunted. When two people bring their ghosts into a marriage, sometimes something goes wrong". That idea sits at the centre of this story, which follows American couple Lou and James after their move from Chicago to the UK. Played by Melissa James and Patrick Heusinger, the pair give committed performances, grounding the production in a recognisable, and often uncomfortable, domestic realism. From the outset, cracks in the relationship are apparent. Moments of tension and miscommunication underpin the supernatural elements that begin to creep in. Where the production truly leans into its strengths is in its theatricality. This is a production that understands what live theatre can offer horror: not just performance, but space and sound too. Flickering lights, darkness and sudden bursts of noise all contribute to the uneasy atmosphere, but the design is doing much of the heavy lifting. Designed by Fly Davis, the two-storey house that forms the set becomes almost an actor in itself. The action unfolds across multiple rooms and levels, allowing the staging to play with audience expectations and perspectives. There are moments that shock in the instant and others that linger longer, leaving you replaying them once you’ve left the theatre. As a piece of stage horror, Paranormal Activity favours tension and surprise over lasting dread. It may not leave you afraid to turn off the lights at home, but in the moment, it delivers some genuinely effective shocks. On its own terms, that’s largely where it succeeds. When and where can …

Paranormal Activity writer on why the found footage format was ditched for West End adaptation

description: Ever wondered how a beloved found footage series translates to the West End stage? Levi Holloway has found a way.
encoded: Nearly two decades after Paranormal Activity premiered at US film festival Screamfest, the franchise is making a surprising return to modern day horror, with an all-new adaptation at London’s West End. Written by Levi Holloway, the production began life at Leeds Playhouse in 2023, before travelling across the US and now settling into the Ambassadors Theatre until next March. However, this new version packs a sizeable shift from the original film series, as Holloway and director Felix Barrett decided that the film’s signature found-footage style was "not translatable to the stage in practice". The solution, Holloway says, was to strip the franchise "down to its essence – the feeling that the audience is seeing something they shouldn’t". Working with Barrett, and the wider creative team, they created a world where “in a play about ghosts,” Holloway sees “the real ghosts on stage are the story makers”. Inspiration for the play didn’t just come from the original movie. Holloway and Barrett swapped “stories back and forth. Books that made us put them down because we were genuinely scared”, diving into the works of Arthur Machen, MR James and Charles Dickens. They also revisited classic films like Don’t Look Now, When a Stranger Calls and Rosemary’s Baby to help define the play’s tone. “Horror is personal,” Holloway says. “The only question we can really ask is: what scares us?” And, while the franchise comes with a huge fanbase, the team “weren’t constrained by fan expectations; we just wanted to make a good play”. The story retains some familiar beats, but tonal faithfulness mattered far more than literal replication. Fans will spot subtle Easter eggs, but nothing that would confuse newcomers. As with any horror media, you can expect scares, but it’s also a genre built on emotional and psychological tension. Holloway’s adaptation, like the original, centres on a married couple, James and Lou, who move from Chicago to London. “I wanted to write about the way people try t…
