Disney On Ice tickets at AO Arena now on presale for December 2023 shows

The magical Disney On Ice is back in Manchester this 2023 with nine magical shows in the lead-up to Christmas, and fans can secure tickets now.

Summer hasn't even landed yet and tickets for Manchester's December shows are already available to buy as seats to last year's shows sold out quickly. Favourites Elsa, Mickey, Moana and Woody will perform live alongside the characters of new-found classic Encanto, which is joining the ice extravaganza in the UK for the first time.

Selected fans can get tickets early in today's (Monday May 22) Ticketmaster and member presale, where seats for all the nine shows are available from £40. Otherwise, the general sale starts this coming Friday, May 26 at 9am.

To get access to the sale Disney lovers have to either be signed up as a LiveNation member or get access to the current Ticketmaster sale, which is free to do.

This means fans can sign up for a free account today, here on Live Nation, and still get into the presale before the general sale starts this Friday. As there's only nine shows in Manchester it's one way to boost your chances of getting tickets.

Prices start at £40 per ticket, for stall seats, and go up in price depending on the seat and proximity to the ice.

Disney On Ice 100 Years of Wonder

The show is set to celebrate the classic Mickey and Minnie whilst sharing adventures from a host of Disney stories, as Moana, Frozen, Toy Story and Finding Nemo are part of the line up.

Characters Maui and Moana are expected, alongside Mirabel from Encanto, Frozen's well known Anna, Elsa and Olaf, and a few of the Toy Story gang.

The show will feature figure skating, acrobatics, skating jumps and effects to make the characters come to life. As one would expect, the costumes are expected to be full of colour too just as though the characters have come straight from a Disney park.
