Tickets for the Sidemen Charity Match 2025 went on sale at 9am 17 November, and thousands of fans descended on the Wembley website to claim their tickets.
As expected, the tickets were popular, with both the Sidemen and Wembley ticketing systems struggling to cope with the influx of requests.
It certainly shows that the Sidemen are capable of selling out the largest capacity stadium in the UK.
The game will take place on Saturday, 8 March 2025, although the kick-off time is yet to be released.
We also don't have full details of the teams just yet, with Sidemen expected to release the squad details in the coming months.
Sidemen tickets sell out in four hours
Contents
The Sidemen Tickets for the 2025 Charity Match have sold out after being on sale for just four hours. With demand in excess of 230,000 people, it's some feat for the group. Tickets went on sale at 9 am, and people were seen in queues of well over 62,000 to get onto the ticket website. It was barely 1 pm by the time those tickets had gone.
Fans still wanting tickets might still have luck on third-party websites, but these will come with a huge markup. For fans looking at the more expensive hospitality tickets, despite the £200 starting price, even these have sold out.
Given the huge demand, it should be no real surprise that the Sidemen, who rack up tens of millions of views per video, were able to sell out Wembley Stadium so fast. There aren't many stadiums in the world that can hold more people, so maybe the group needs to develop some new ideas in the future.
Fans will still be able to watch the game live via the Sidemen YouTube channel.
Fans left waiting for Sidemen tickets
Fans who signed up to buy tickets from the Sidemen ticket site were left waiting till the last second to get their purchase invite.
The Sidemen Charity Match tickets were fairly straightforward, with fans asking to sign up for a chance to buy tickets. Wembley Stadium also had tickets for sale, with this process being slightly easier.
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) were left with an anxious wait as the 9am deadline drew nearer.
“I am stressed. I need these tickets so bad”, said one fan as they were placed in a queue to purchase tickets.
Some fans seemed confused about how to even buy tickets, despite the process being laid out. However, the process became clearer once fans realised the Sidemen ticket site was redirected to Ticketmaster at 9am.
Demand for Sidemen tickets driven by surprise guests
Ticketmaster had a queue system in operation in the morning. For science, we joined the queue process at 8:55 and were placed in a queue of 11,000 people ahead of us.
The queue moved fairly quickly, getting through about 1,000 people in the first five minutes. We were given an estimated one-hour wait time to get through our 11,000-person queue.
The huge demand is also likely being pushed by the mystery around who might play in the match. Sidemen Charity matches have always had big guests.
For 2025, however, fans are expecting something even bigger, given the longer wait for a match.
We don't have the full details for now, but we'll update our Sidemen Match 2025 guide when we have more information. Be sure to follow us for updates.
