ABBA Voyage Tickets at the ABBA Arena
ABBA Voyage plays at the ABBA Arena at Pudding Mill Lane, in the Olympic Park, a building put up for this production that has never hosted anything else. Digital versions of Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid, made as they looked in 1979, sing the group's own vocals in front of a ten-piece band playing live on stage.

Who's ABBA Voyage For?
ABBA fans, first. You would not want to come unless you love the songs or you are interested in the technology behind the show.
Anyone who follows staging, lighting and sound. The arena was built for this production and everything in it was designed for this production.
Anyone who wants to dance for a night. Nearly half the space is standing, and plenty of people in the seats end up on their feet as well.
Anyone who wants a night out that is not like any other night out. Nobody else is doing this.
Not for you if what you want is human performers on the stage. The four are not physically there. Although they are joined by a live band and backing singers.
What Tickets Cost
Most seats are around £50 to £110, and the Dance Floor is around £57.50 to £85. The cheapest ticket in the building is a seat, at around £40.50, but standing costs less than most of the seats do and only the cheaper side seats come in under it. Premium seats are in the middle of the centre Blocks.
Dance Booths sit at the centre rear and hold 10 to 12 people, with seats, their own bit of floor and a bar served through the concert. You can take a single ticket in one or book the whole booth, depending on how far ahead you are. No price is published for them, so call us and we will tell you what is available on your date. They cost a good deal more than the Dance Floor, and for most people the Dance Floor is the better night.
Buy from an official seller. Tickets bought through resale sites are void here and the arena can refuse entry on them. We sell with all-in pricing, so the price you see is what you pay.

About ABBA Voyage at the ABBA Arena
The four appear as they looked in 1979, built by Industrial Light & Magic (George Lucas's company) from five weeks of motion capture with the group in 2020 and blended with younger body doubles. The vocals are ABBA's own, and the musicians behind them are on stage and playing live.
If you did not already know the four were not in the building, you would believe they were.
What makes the evening rather than the technology is the way the live performers and the ABBAtars are woven together. It is the best thing in the show and we are not going to describe how it is done.
Industrial Light & Magic had never worked in music before this. The show won Outstanding Visual Effects in a Special Venue Project at the Visual Effects Society Awards, and the four millionth ticket holder walked in during April 2026.
What's ABBA Voyage About?
It is a concert, not a story. Dancing Queen, Waterloo, The Winner Takes It All, Fernando, Money, Money, Money, Super Trouper, The Name of the Game and Take a Chance on Me all come from this catalogue and all have been in this show. It opens on The Visitors, the 1982 title track, rather than on a hit.
The set list changed on the show's third birthday in May 2025, when four songs went in and one came out. One slot still rotates between two of them, so you are likely to see a slightly different show every time.
Between the songs the arena does the work: a wraparound LED screen, lighting mapped across the whole arena, and effects that run behind and above you as well as in front.
Performance Schedule
Seven performances a week across five days. A few weeks add a Monday on top, and the schedule moves around at Christmas, so check the calendar for the week you want.
| Day | Matinee | Evening |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | - | occasional |
| Tuesday | - | - |
| Wednesday | - | 7:45pm |
| Thursday | - | 7:45pm |
| Friday | - | 7:45pm |
| Saturday | 3pm | 7:45pm |
| Sunday | 1pm | 6pm |
The concert runs 100 minutes straight through with no interval, so a 7:45pm start is out at about 9:25pm, a 6pm start at about 7:40pm, a 3pm matinee at about 4:40pm and a 1pm matinee at about 2:40pm.
Best Seats for ABBA Voyage
Stand. Having done both, the Dance Floor is the one we would book: it is closer to the way the show was built to be watched. Do not make for the front rail: the crowd is better a little further back.
If you are sitting, every seat in the building has a clear view of the stage. There are no bad seats here, there are four different nights out, and the choice is about which one you want.
Blocks C and H are the centre blocks and the best seated positions, priced accordingly. For value, take an edge block and move slightly inward within it rather than paying for the middle or sitting at the extreme outside. The front gallery, Blocks A to E, sits raised well above the standing crowd, and the rear grandstand is steeply enough raked that you still see fine when the floor is on its feet.
Block by block, with legroom and the view from each, is in our ABBA Arena guide. Call us on 020 7193 9050 and we will tell you what is left on your date.
Cast and Creative Team
Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, as digital versions of themselves in 1979, singing their own re-recorded vocals. It really is as incredible as it sounds.
The ten-piece band and the backing vocalists are live on stage and the line-up changes from year to year, so the musicians you see will not be the ones who opened the show.
Directed by Baillie Walsh, with choreography by Wayne McGregor, produced by Svana Gisla and Ludvig Andersson, and the ABBAtars built by Industrial Light & Magic.
Book Your ABBA Voyage Tickets
Seats from around £40.50, Dance Floor from around £57.50, and all-in pricing, so the price you see is what you pay.
Dates are released monthly, so a week showing nothing today has probably not opened yet rather than sold out. A midweek performance costs less than a weekend one, so if your date can move, that saves more than changing where you sit.

FAQs
They are not physically in the building. The four took part in making it, they are playing themselves as they were in 1979, and the voices are theirs. If nobody had told you, you would think they were there.
Hologram is the word most people reach for and it describes what you see: the four appear life-size in front of you, rendered on screens rather than standing there. The production's own word is ABBAtars.
Approximately 100 minutes, straight through, with no interval.
100 minutes after the advertised start, whichever performance you are at, because there is nothing to add for an interval. An evening show has you back at the DLR before half past nine.
The Dance Floor, if you can stand for 100 minutes without a break. It costs less than most of the seats and it is the better night. Seats are the answer if standing that long is a problem.
Cheaper than most seats, slightly more expensive than the cheapest. A side seat is the least you can pay to get in; the Dance Floor costs less than a centre Block.
The venue recommends it for 6 and over. Children under 3 are not admitted at all, under-16s must be with an adult of 18 or over, and the Dance Floor is not recommended for anyone under 12.
Only under-3s are barred, so a four-year-old can be admitted but is below the recommended age. Weigh three things: 100 minutes with no interval, concert-level sound, and heavy flashing lights and lasers throughout.
New dates are released monthly rather than in one annual on-sale. So the calendar always shows a few months rather than a year, and a date that is not on sale today may be on sale next month.
No closing date has been announced. The last bookable date on the calendar moves forward every month, and a booking-until date is not a closing date.
Not during the concert. Photography and recording are prohibited once it starts. Outside and on the concourse is fine.
There is no touring production and none is announced. The arena is part of the show, which is what makes a tour hard rather than merely unplanned. Plans have been filed for a second purpose-built ABBA Voyage arena in New York, reported as targeting 2028. London is unaffected.
Latecomers are held until a suitable point in the concert. The production does not publish where those points fall, and with no interval there is no guaranteed second chance, so allow 45 minutes for the queue and the security check.
There is no car park. Ten blue badge spaces on site can be booked in advance, and everyone else is steered to the DLR, which stops directly opposite.
There is no dress code, so anything you like. Plenty of people put an outfit together for it and plenty of people come straight from work. Two things the venue does ask: no "Afro" wigs, which it treats as a condition of entry, and nothing that lights up, since the show is built out of engineered lighting.
Mamma Mia! tells a story with a live company on the stage, and it costs less. ABBA Voyage takes you to a "live" ABBA concert, as they were in 1979, and there is nothing else like it anywhere in the world. That is the reason to come.
It helps, obviously. If you are an ABBA fan, or you saw Mamma Mia! and enjoyed it, this is squarely your show. If you are not, it is still a spectacle of a kind you will not have seen before, and the technology on its own is worth the evening.
Where to Stand and Sit for ABBA Voyage
Four ways in, and they are four different evenings rather than four price points on the same one.
The Dance Floor. General admission standing in front of and below the stage, holding around 1,350 people, close to half the audience. It is flat, with no rake and no raised platform, and there are big screens as at any arena concert. Our pick is the middle to the back of it and central: far enough back to take in the whole stage picture, close enough to be in the crowd. There are walls and rails to lean on at the sides and the front. It is 100 minutes on your feet with no break.
The front gallery, Blocks A to E. Three rows each, beside and behind the Dance Floor, raised well above the standing crowd, so the people on the floor are not a problem. The end blocks nearest the stage angle towards it. Block C is the centre one and the pick of them.
The rear grandstand, Blocks F to K. Across a wide aisle behind the front gallery and steeply raked, so you see over a standing crowd without trouble. Block H is the centre block and the best-rated seated position in the building. There is no Block I. Seats are wide and padded with cup-holders in the armrests.
The Dance Booths, A to H. Eight of them at the centre rear, for 10 to 12 people, with seating, a small private floor and a bar served during the concert. The furthest seated position from the stage.
Every seat here has a clear view of the stage. For value, take an edge block and move a few seats inward from the end.
Row by row, with legroom and the view from each block, is in our ABBA Arena guide. Call us on 020 7193 9050 and we will find the best of what is left on your date.

Getting to the ABBA Arena
The ABBA Arena is on Pudding Mill Lane, in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London E15 2RU.
Pudding Mill Lane DLR station is directly opposite the arena, a minute on foot, and it is the way to come. Stratford is the big interchange, with the Central, Jubilee and Elizabeth lines, the Overground, the DLR and National Rail, and the walk from there through the park takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The DLR is simply easier.
Buses 25, 276, 425, D8 and 108 all stop at Marshgate Lane, four minutes away. There is a black cab rank on Barbers Road next to the arena, taxis and ride share have designated points near the entrances, coaches drop off on Barbers Road or Pudding Mill Lane, and there are cycle stands either side of the arena gates.
There is nowhere to park at the arena itself. The ten blue badge spaces on site are bookable in advance, and the nearest public car parks are in Stratford and at Westfield.
Arriving
Arrive 45 minutes before, no later. Everyone goes through a security check on the way in and that is what the extra time is for. Doors open 1 hour 45 minutes before the concert, so there is somewhere to be once you are through.
Latecomers are held until a suitable point in the concert. With no interval, there is no second chance built into the evening.
The Box Office is in the ABBA Voyage shop at Pudding Mill Lane DLR station and opens two hours before the concert.
Access
Accessible tickets are booked in advance, and through the venue's own access team rather than through us. There are five accessible sections in the arena, covering wheelchair spaces, ambulant seats and transfer seats.
The bars, the cloakroom, the bag policy and everything else about the building are in our ABBA Arena guide.

ABBA Voyage Cast
Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad appear as they looked in 1979. The vocals are their own, re-recorded for this show, and the movement comes from five weeks of motion capture the four sat for in 2020. Industrial Light & Magic built the ABBAtars from that, blended with younger body doubles, and Dolce and Gabbana dressed them.
Ten musicians play live on stage throughout, with backing vocalists. They are the only people in the building who are actually performing, and the line-up turns over from year to year, so the band on your night will not be the one that opened the show in 2022.
Creative team
Directed by Baillie Walsh. Choreography by Wayne McGregor. Produced by Svana Gisla and Ludvig Andersson, with Johan Renck as co-executive producer. ABBAtars and visual effects by Industrial Light & Magic, its first work in music. The arena was designed by Stufish Entertainment Architects and built for this show alone.
ABBA Voyage Reviews
It opened on 27 May 2022 and various reviews have come out from opening night to April 2026, saying the same thing at both ends. Nobody rated it below three stars.
The illusion is what every review leads on, whatever it scored. The Guardian's Alexis Petridis wrote in May 2022 that "it's almost impossible to tell you're not watching human beings", and PinkNews called it "quite literally, jaw-dropping". The Evening Standard's David Smyth put a number on it: "about 80 per cent realistic, 20 per cent Madame Tussauds". Four years later, in April 2026, LouReviews wrote that with a 3,000 seater arena singing the chorus of Fernando, "you can easily forget that the four members of the band are not actually there".
The argument in the notices is not about how well it is done. It is about what it is. In 2022 monstagigz, at three stars, found it "a rather soulless, cinematic experience" while calling the ABBAtars incredible in the same breath, and in April 2026 LouReviews landed in the same place: "I'm not entirely convinced about this innovation replacing real, live musicians." That reservation has held as steadily as the praise.
The commonest complaint of 2022 was the set list, and specifically that Take a Chance on Me and Money, Money, Money were missing. Both were added in May 2025. That criticism no longer applies.
Every quote, with its date and its stars, is in what the critics said.
