A bit about the bands………

Def Leppard remain one of the world’s biggest and most successful live acts, and 2007 was another monumental year the band, playing a near sold out 50 date arena tour across the USA. Starting June 2007 and ending in September 2007, the group’s summer concert tour became a must-see phenomenon - .regularly selling out 15,000 to 20,000 capacity arenas! The show featured a stunning production and light show and saw Def Leppard using a ramp for the first time - the show featuring an acoustic in addition to Def Leppard’s huge catalogue of global hits. Def Leppard remain amongst the most successful UK bands in the USA still.

Def Leppard are one of only five rock groups who can claim two separate original 10 million plus selling albums in the US. The others are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Van Halen.

2007 was also the 20th anniversary of Def Leppard’s legendary “Hysteria” album. An album summed up by Mojo magazine in Sept 2007 as “Hard rock’s equivalent of “Thriller””.

Def Leppard are also set to release a brand new studio album in mid 2008. The album will see the band adding to their incredible legacy and promises the inclusion of a very special collaboration.

Having sold over 65 million albums worldwide since the Def Leppard debut release in 1980 and proved themselves one of rock music’s hardest working and consistently powerful live bands (playing to over 50 million fans in the last 15 years alone), these dates are set to be a highlight of the summer.

Legendary front man David Coverdale is bringing Whitesnake back on the road in 2008 to celebrate the band’s 30th Anniversary with a vengeance...April 2008 will see the release of the first new Whitesnake studio album in over 10 years...’Good To Be Bad’ featuring 11 new, slamming Whitesnake songs, guaranteed to take their place alongside their better known multi-million selling catalogue.

“It’s about time we had new songs to present to the Whitesnake Choir...This album has all the elements I enjoy about Whitesnake & more...“ says Coverdale.

‘Good To Be Bad’ is the most recent band offering, along with their in-concert greatest hits CD... ‘Live In The Shadow Of The Blues’ & ‘Live In The Still Of The Night’...voted Best DVD of 2006 by the readers of Classic Rock magazine.

With their blend of hard rock, soul, blues, and balladry...a healthy dose of priapic posturing & good time fun, Whitesnake brings a welcome, positive energy to the current musical climate.

From 1973 to 1976 Coverdale was the lead singer in Deep Purple, one of the biggest bands in the world. A year after leaving, he formed Whitesnake in late 1977 as a blues-based, melodic rock band to tour & promote his solo records ‘Whitesnake’ & ‘Northwinds’.

The band then took on a life & an identity of its own, attracting not only the supporters from Deep Purple, but, a whole new audience hungry for the blues, soul & good time rock Whitesnake offered.


In the early 90’s Coverdale spent 3 years working with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, on the rock classic ‘Coverdale Page’ album, before retiring from the music business for several years.

The internationally renowned, multi-platinum band will be featuring songs from David Coverdale’s colourful career...

This is an opportunity to experience the ultimate line-up & celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Whitesnake...

Doug Aldrich on guitar...Reb Beach on guitar...Timothy Drury on keyboards Uriah Duffy on bass...Chris Frazier on drums...& of course, the inimitable David Coverdale on vocals...

“I can’t wait to get back on stage...after being in the studio for most of 2007 I am most definitely ready to let off some steam...The front row should definitely be prepared!” says Coverdale

You have been warned!!!

Special Guests on the tour are the great ‘Black Stone Cherry’ who hail from the USA and have just won Best New Band at the Classic Rock awards.

Rail Travel  
Midland MainlineThe Arena has two rail stations within easy reach of the venue. Sheffield's main railway staion is situated in the City Centre - Sheaf Street, Sheffield, S1 2BP - and is approximately a 10 minute drive to the venue.

The Arena has its own supertram stop, with and park and ride facilities at all main entries to the city. More information and timetables can be found at www.supertram.com.

Why do we charge booking fees?
The 10% booking fee is to cover the costs of running a box office service. As a City Sheffield has made a huge investment and commitment to providing a box office service to ensure we can sell our own tickets and not use other ticket agencies.
 
Can I Purchase Tickets at a Concessionary Rate?
The event promoter sets the ticket prices and in most instances concessions aren't avialable. However, if you are purchasing concessionary tickets you may be asked to provide evidence that you are entitled to purchase tickets at the concessionary rate when your tickets are checked as you enter the venue - if you are unable to provide this evidence you will not be admitted into the venue and will be required to purchase tickets at full price.
 
Please note that the age at which a child to qualifys for concessionary rates varies from event to event, therefore please check the age limit on the specific events page before booking.
 
Call the Box Office or check the website to identify which events have consession tickets available.
 
Why do better seats become available?
When customers find available tickets either online or through any of the other channel, those tickets are held while the customer considers the purchase. During that period, which lasts for only a few minutes, no one else can view or purchase those tickets. If the customer decides not to buy the tickets, they are 'released' and become available to other purchasers. So if a customer is looking at 5th row seats and decides not to buy, those seats become available for another customer.
 
Why can't I see the link to buy tickets after the event has gone on sale?
Most browsers keep a version of the page on their own computer to speed up internet access and depending on setting on your machine, may not check for a new version even when you refresh the page, hence if you were on the website before the link was activated this wouldn't show up even when you refreshed.
 
The only way around this is to ?Force? a refresh by pressing CTRL and F5 together. Even this may not work in all cases as some organisations have proxy servers which intercept all web traffic from the organisation and serve the ?cached? version of the page, some Internet Service Providers even use caching as a method of speeding up access for their members.
 
If CTRL F5 doesn't work you can try going to tools, internet options and deleting cookies.
 
This is something that is not specifically related to our website and we hope the above goes some way to explaining why this can happen.
 
Where are my tickets?
The Sheffield Arena aims to dispatch all tickets within 5-7 working days. However, some types of tickets have posting restrictions as detailed below.
Souvenir Tickets are specially printed tickets and can take up to 6 - 8 weeks to be dispatched.
Standing or General Admission Tickets cannot be duplicated. In order to ensure there are no problems with delivery, tickets are usually sent by special delivery post.

Please be aware that we will not duplicate standing tickets under any circumstances - this is the reason we will only post these tickets out through the post office's Special Delivery Service as this recover's the cost of the tickets should they be lost during their postage.
