Ed Sheeran Budapest

Ed Sheeran last visited Budapest in 2019 when he performed at the Sziget Festival. In 2024, he once again came to the Hungarian capital to perform at the Puskas Arena. To make things even better, he isn’t coming alone, but he is coming together with Calum Scott. Would you like to be there at Puskas Arena to enjoy one of the highlights on the calendar in Budapest in 2024?

The Ed Sheeran concert is set to July 20, 2024. The venue is Puskas Arena, meaning that there will be more than 60,000 people present to listen and sing along with Ed Sheeran. What makes this even cooler is the fact that Ed Sheeran will only do a few concerts during the summer of 2024, and Budapest is one of the lucky cities to be on the list. In other words, this is one of few chances to listen to the artist live in 2024.

The tickets for the Ed Sheeran concert is laid out for sale in Hungary on October 26 at 10:00, and the tickets are expected to be sold ut within a few hours. If you are reading this much later, you can most likely expect all the tickets to be sold out. As a result, the only way to be there at the corner arena is to buy a ticket second-hand before the concert outside the arena, or by buying tickets online at a second-hand ticket site. If that sounds interesting, use the link further down in the article.

How to get to the concert venue?

Would you like to be there at the Ed Sheeran concert in Budapest? It is easy to travel to the venue with public transportation. The nearest metro station is Puskas Ferenc Stadion (red line). From there, you can walk to the venue within 5 minutes.

If you arrive by car, you can park your car in the streets around the venue, but it will most likely be extremely hard to find a free parking lot before the start of the concert.

Another option is to park elsewhere in the city and then use the metro to get to the venue.

How much time do I need to travel from the airport to Puskas Arena?

Are you flying to Budapest only to see and experience the Ed Sheeran concert? Are you worried that you might arrive too late? How much time do you need to travel between the airport in Budapest and the Ed Sheeran concert at Puskas Arena?

Since the concert is quite late, there shouldn’t be any delays due to traffic, but if you calculate 45 minutes from the airport to the stadium, you should definitely arrive according to plan.
