A better way to ask for tickets
Create an Event Wishlist and Let Friends & Family Buy You Tickets
Not sure what to ask for your birthday or Christmas? Create a free wishlist of concerts, theatre shows, comedy nights, tribute acts and other live events you’d love to attend. Keep the events you fancy together, then show your ideas to friends and family so they can find a thoughtful ticket gift without having to guess what you’d enjoy.
From concert ticket wishlists and theatre ticket gift ideas to comedy tickets for a special celebration, live experiences can be a memorable alternative to another physical present.
How Your Event Wishlist Works
Discover events
Browse concerts, theatre, comedy, tribute acts and other events around the UK. Tap the heart beside an event you’d love to attend.
Build your wishlist
Saved individual event performances appear in your wishlist on this device; general show wishes aren’t currently supported. Event pages can show other performances when reliable matches are available, but choosing a preferred date or venue across performances isn’t currently supported.
Save and share
Save events in this browser without signing in, or sign in with Google to keep your wishlist in the cloud. Sharing is optional: turn it on when you want a private-to-you link that you can send to friends and family. Anyone with the link can view your wishlist.
Choose a live experience
Open an event from your list to check its details and follow its ticket link to the external provider. LiveEventsNear does not sell tickets or process payments.
Give an Experience They’ll Remember
Tickets can make thoughtful birthday presents, Christmas gifts, anniversary surprises and treats for other special celebrations. They give someone a date to look forward to and a shared memory to enjoy afterwards. For people who prefer experiences to physical presents, a live event can feel especially personal.
A wishlist helps remove the guesswork: the person receiving the gift has already picked out events they would enjoy. Browse ideas in London or explore venues across the UK to find something that suits.
Don’t Leave It Too Late
Events are shown with the soonest performances first. If you’re hoping someone will buy tickets as a birthday, Christmas or special-occasion gift, show them your wishlist early so they have time to choose and purchase tickets before a performance takes place.
Ticket availability can change and events may sell out; dates or venues can also change. Past performances are removed from the live event catalogue. Alternative performances may be suggested where we can match them reliably, but no ticket or date is guaranteed to remain available.
Your wishlist is private by default. Sign in with Google to save it to the cloud, then explicitly enable sharing to create a link. You can turn sharing off or create a new link at any time.
How Do Friends and Family Buy Tickets?
- Open an event page from the wishlist, or open an event page you have shared separately.
- Check the event date, venue and current ticket information.
- Follow the ticket link to the external ticket provider.
- Complete any purchase on that provider’s website.
LiveEventsNear does not sell tickets or process payments. All purchases take place on third-party ticketing websites. Shared wishlist visitors can mark a ticket as bought after completing a purchase; this status is based on confirmation and is not independently verified.
Your Wishlist, Your Choice
You can save events without signing in; that list stays in your browser. Sign in with Google to save it to the cloud and use it across devices. Sharing is optional and starts off. If you enable it, anyone with the link can see the wishlist title and selected events. Your Google email address and account name are not shown on the shared page.
Choose a wishlist title you’re comfortable making public, such as “Sam’s live music picks” or “2026 Christmas ideas”. Avoid including private details such as an address, phone number or full date of birth. You can disable sharing or replace the link whenever you like.
Remove any event from the list at any time. For more about browser storage and event information, visit our Privacy & Website Information.
