Book direct
The safest way to buy is through the venue’s own website or box office. Dubai Opera hosts opera, ballet and concerts in the Opera District; Coca-Cola Arena hosts big concerts and shows at City Walk.
Plan ahead
Big dates sell early: the DP World Tour Championship (12–15 November 2026), the Dubai World Cup (27 March 2027) and Art Dubai (9–11 April 2027). Use only the organisers’ official sites.
