ABBA Arena

ABBA Arena was created for ABBA Voyage, a concert that combines digital versions of Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid with a live ten-piece band. The original members do not perform in person. The attraction is the combination of familiar songs, live musicianship and a visual production designed specifically for the venue.

• ABBA Voyage

This is a concert experience rather than a stage musical with a continuous dramatic plot. The distinction matters when choosing an evening: some visitors want to sit and take in the production, while others want the freedom to dance throughout it.

Choose how to experience the concert

Auditorium tickets provide an allocated seat. The Dance Floor is general admission for standing and dancing, so it suits visitors comfortable remaining on their feet. Dance Booths combine a dedicated dancing area with seating; individual tickets or a whole booth can be booked according to availability.

Seated tickets do not guarantee that everyone around you will remain seated. The venue permits dancing in the seating areas while asking guests to consider people who cannot stand. If seating, steps or a wheelchair position affect your enjoyment, choose the appropriate accessible ticket before booking.

A production built around its audience

The concert runs for approximately 100 minutes without an interval. Its lighting, video and sound are part of the experience, with flashing images and concert-level volume. Visitors with sensory concerns should consult the venue's access guidance before choosing tickets.

The strongest reason to visit is the music itself, experienced as a shared event. Choose a ticket area that suits your group and leave the evening enough room for arrival, the full performance and an unhurried departure.

Make the ticket choice part of the plan

Choose auditorium seating for an allocated seat, the Dance Floor for standing and dancing, or a Dance Booth for a space that combines seating and dancing. Accessible seating, wheelchair spaces and transfer seats must be booked in advance. Discuss the choice with everyone in the group before paying.

The concert is recommended for ages five and above. Children under three are not admitted; guests under 16 must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over. The Dance Floor is not recommended for children under 12. Check the venue's current age and identification guidance when booking for younger guests.

Prepare for an uninterrupted performance

Plan to arrive an hour before the start time shown on your ticket. Use the facilities and arrange refreshments before the performance, which lasts about 100 minutes without an interval. Late admission waits for a suitable point in the show, so do not build the journey around arriving at the advertised start time.

Photography and recording of the concert are prohibited. Photographs are allowed outside the arena and in its main concourse. If you are sensitive to loud sound or flashing lights, read the access information before booking and bring suitable hearing protection if needed.

Eat before the show or choose a lounge upgrade

The venue provides food and drink concessions and operates without cash. Outside food and drink are generally not permitted; contact the venue in advance if you need to bring them for medical or religious reasons.

Oceanbird Lounge is a separate hospitality upgrade with pre-concert food and drinks. Check its inclusions and admission arrangements for the performance you choose; a lounge booking should not be assumed to replace the concert ticket.

Travel with only what you need

Use the venue's travel information and TfL's journey planner for the journey to Pudding Mill Lane DLR station. There is no arena car park. Large bags and suitcases are prohibited; the limited cloakroom is for smaller items, with priority for Dance Floor ticket holders. Arrange luggage storage before travelling to the concert.

If you need a hearing loop, wheelchair space or other support, discuss the requirement with the access team before purchase. Leave flexibility after the show rather than relying on a connection that only works if the concert starts and finishes exactly on time.
