Is Priority a free service?

Yes it is. Priority does not charge you for offers (although when using the service, your data usage will be charged at the rate according to the data agreement or package you have).

Are there any restrictions or limitations around claiming Priority offers?

Due to high demand and the speed of uptake on certain offers, we cannot always guarantee there are enough codes to go around. Specific offers may operate on a 'first come, first serve' basis and are subject to availability. Some offers can also be subject to certain eligibility rules, these rules can be found within the offers themselves.

Will Priority work on any handset?

Priority will work on any handset, so long as it has data connection. The first time you use Priority, it will automatically work out what sort of phone you have and tell you the appropriate way to access the service (via a downloadable app or the web). Web not set up? Or not sure if your phone can browse the web? Text PRIORITY to 2020.

How do I become an O2 customer?

The easiest ways are to go to o2.co.uk or to pop in to your nearest O2 shop on the High Street.

Do you get charged for data when using Priority on my handset?

Any data usage will be charged at the rate according to the data agreement or package you have.

What parts of the country does Priority work in?

Priority will work anywhere in the UK, so long as you have adequate reception.

What happens if I lose my phone?

If you keep the same number on your replacement phone, you will need to re-register for the app. You will however lose any saved vouchers. Don't forget, you can always access the service via the web.

How come I occasionally find an offer that is considerably more valuable than others?

All our offers are great; some are even greater! We do like to keep you on your toes.

My mobile code never arrives. Why?

Firstly, double check you're putting the right mobile number in.

Then check you've got a signal. If you have, ask for another code .

If it still doesn't arrive, it could be that our code-sending service is swamped. In which case it's best to come back a bit later and try again.

I'm with O2, but when I try to sign up, it says I'm not. Why?

If you've got an O2 mobile and you're putting that number in, it might be because you transferred the number from another network recently and our database hasn't caught up yet. It should work in a few days, at most.

If you don't have an O2 mobile and you're with us for home broadband, make sure you're using the mobile number you gave us when you signed up. If you signed up quite recently, it can take 14 days to add you to our database, so you might need to wait a few days. Please note if you are a home broadband customer you will only be able to access Priority on this website.

I've got my mobile code, but it doesn't work. Why not?

First, check you're putting the right code in. A 1 can look like an I, for instance, or a 2 like a Z.

You can only use each code once, so make sure you haven't used it already.

If it's not that, ask for a new one.

If the new code doesn't work either, it's probably us. Our system might have gone down. Check back in a little bit and hopefully it'll be up and running again.

I'm registered but my password's not working. Why not?

Are you definitely using your Priority password? It's different from the one you use for My O2.

If it's still not working, change your password.

I've forgotten my password

Don't forget that your Priority password is different from the one you use for My O2.

If it's still not working, change your password.

I'm trying to sign in but I keep getting an error message

Are you putting in the right mobile number and password? If you've got a mobile with us, you should be putting in your O2 mobile number.

If you've got O2 broadband, it should be the mobile number you gave us when you signed up. It doesn't have to be an O2 mobile. Remember the non O2 mobile will only work on this website for Priority and not on the mobile apps.

If you've changed your mobile number since you got O2 broadband, you'll need to email us your new details.

And it has to be a mobile, not a landline.

If it's not either of those things, the system might be down. Try again in a few minutes.

It might be that you haven't actually signed up for Priority yet. It's different to your My O2 account - you have to have a separate username and password for Priority. You can register here.

If you're definitely registered, it might just be that the system's down. Try again in a little while.

If nothing works, drop us a line . We'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Or you can call:

4445 from your O2 mobile if you're on Pay & Go

202 from your O2 mobile if you're on Pay Monthly

0800 230 0202 (free from landlines) if you've got O2 broadband. Or email customer.service@o2broadband.co.uk.

When will Priority Tickets be available?

Priority will have details of all current Priority Ticket offers. Priority Tickets will be available to purchase during a specified period of time or until they're all sold out.

Priority Tickets are usually available up to 48 hours before general release.

How do I buy Priority Tickets?

O2 customers can buy Priority Tickets online by going tickets.o2priority.co.uk . On the page there will be links out to the ticket purchase page on Axs.com, Ticketweb, or Ticketmaster for O2 Apollo Manchester tickets. You can only buy Priority Tickets while the offer is running and if they are still available.

How many Priority Tickets can I buy?

You can buy up to six tickets for each event. It may be less, depending on the event. It's always best to check the terms and conditions when you click through to purchase the tickets.

Are tickets for The O2 being sold on secondary sales websites?

The O2 partners with StubHub for secondary tickets sales in the UK. All tickets that are sold-on other than via a ticketing partner are invalid and will be made void by the venue wherever possible.

There is a dedicated tout team at The O2 that works towards stopping ticket touting both in person and online. The O2's customer services team also offers seven-days-a-week advice to victims of ticket touting. Call 0208 463 3359.

What is the Waiting Room?

The Waiting Room is a feature used by one of our ticketing partners, AXS, directly before a Priority Ticket event opens for sale. While the customer waits, they can see prices, and fill in their contact and payment details – meaning that when the event does open for sale, the purchasing process is as quick and efficient as possible.

For high demand shows, the Waiting Room acts as an important protection for fans. It holds all buyers during the Priority Tickets on-sale as well to allow the AXS security process to determine if any potential fraudulent or undesired buyers are attempting to gain access to the purchase process. Fans that have joined the waiting room before the on-sale will be put through in groups to purchase randomly, at controlled intervals. Anyone entering after the Priority Tickets event opens for sale will go through to purchase after that. Accessing the Waiting Room doesn't guarantee tickets.

The website isn't working - what do I do?

This may be due to high traffic on the site, so please keep trying.

Priority Tickets aren't available. Have they all sold out?

There are only ever a limited number available, so it's likely that all the Priority Tickets have been sold. You can try and get General Tickets instead.

When I go to buy tickets, they have always sold out. I don't feel like a priority as I missed out on tickets.

We really hate to disappoint, but tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority Tickets give O2 customers the chance to buy tickets up to 48 hours before general release. There are only a limited number of Priority Tickets available for each event, so tickets are not always guaranteed.

If the Priority Tickets have sold out, you can still try to buy General Tickets.

What happens when Priority Tickets go on sale at the same time as General Tickets?

The Priority Tickets are still exclusive to O2 customers. They will be available throughout the offer period or until they are sold out. Priority Tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. You can also try to buy General Tickets.

I have registered for Priority Ticket alerts but I am not getting any

You may have entered an incorrect mobile number or email address, so you may need to re-register. Try this first. Registration may take up to 48 hours to process.

If you haven't already logged in, sign in to O2 Priority to receive confirmation of registration. Check 'Your interests' to see which alerts you asked to receive when you first registered. Then re-select and update your preferences to start receiving alerts for Priority Tickets.

We don't send you an alert for every O2 Academy event, instead you will only get one updates email per week for events at O2 Academy venues.

How do I stop receiving Priority Ticket email and text alerts?

To stop receiving Priority Ticket email alerts, just click the 'unsubscribe' button on the latest email you've received from us.

To stop receiving Priority Ticket text alerts, follow the opt-out instructions at the end of the latest text you've received from us.

If I buy a Priority Ticket, will I get the best seat in the house?

Priority Tickets don't guarantee the best seats. However, when booking your Priority Tickets, you'll have the option to choose where to sit from the range of seats available.

I bought Level 4 tickets during the Priority Ticket sale period, which were the 'best available'. Why are there better General Tickets available now?

A wide range of seat types are allocated as Priority Tickets for each show. O2's Priority Ticket offer does not always guarantee access to the best seats. If you don't like the 'best available' Priority Tickets, you can try to buy alternative tickets through the general public sale.
