Ed Sheeran at Bank of America Stadium: Oct 17, 2026 Tickets & Guide

Charlotte is the only Carolinas date on the LOOP Tour, and one of the few remaining open-air stadium nights. That makes it a proper autumn outdoor concert, with everything that implies for what to wear and when to arrive. Here is the rundown as of Sept 23, 2026.

How much are Ed Sheeran tickets in Charlotte?

Face value for the US stadium shows was set low for a star of Ed’s size: tiers of $39.50, $69.50, $89.50 and $119.50 were seen for one show. Resale has been soft across this leg. In September 2026 the cheapest US stadium seats were reported at roughly $56–$65 including fees, and many shows still had thousands of seats unsold. There is no reason to expect Charlotte to buck that trend, though prices can firm up in the last week as the cheapest listings sell.

TicketNetwork is a resale marketplace and some listings sit above face value, so compare sections rather than grabbing the first seat you see. If VIP extras interest you, read our VIP packages guide first; official package prices vary.

Which seats are best at Bank of America Stadium for Ed Sheeran?

The stage is a 360° in-the-round style rotating platform in the middle of the field, with a small circular B-stage out in the crowd. Nobody is stuck “behind” the stage, so seat choice is mostly about distance and height.

• Lower-bowl sideline: the best balance of view and value, with the round stage right in front of you.
• Floor: closest to Ed and to the B-stage, where the fan-request songs happen. Great atmosphere, flat sightlines.
• Upper deck: the cheapest way in. Distant but clear, and good for seeing the whole in-the-round layout at once.

Because Bank of America Stadium is open-air, mid-October evenings can get cool once the sun goes down. A light jacket is worth carrying, and rain gear (not umbrellas, which venues often restrict) is smart if the forecast turns. More on our best seats guide.

How do you get to Bank of America Stadium?

The stadium sits in Uptown Charlotte, so many fans can walk from hotels, bars and restaurants in the city centre. The LYNX light rail serves Uptown and is a good way in from outer neighbourhoods without dealing with parking. If you drive, look for pre-bookable garages and lots around Uptown, and give yourself extra time on a Saturday with a big event in town.

Most NFL stadiums enforce a clear-bag policy (small clear bags plus a small clutch), and concerts usually follow the same rules. Check the venue site for the current policy before you pack, because it is the one thing that reliably sends people back to their cars.

What time does the Ed Sheeran concert start in Charlotte?

The listed time is 5:30 PM. That is the event time on the ticket rather than when Ed takes the stage; his own set lasts about two hours. With no support act confirmed for the remaining US dates, the exact walk-on time has not been published. Check your ticket or app on the day.

Who is the opening act for Ed Sheeran in Charlotte?

Opening acts for the remaining US dates changed in September 2026 and none had been confirmed as of Sept 23 - check your ticket/app for timings. Earlier North American shows this summer featured artists such as Myles Smith, Mark Ambor and Sigrid, but don’t plan your evening around a support slot. Our support acts page is updated when anything is announced.

What songs will Ed Sheeran play in Charlotte?

The LOOP Tour is Ed at his most stripped back: one man, an acoustic guitar and a loop pedal, building every song live in front of you. A typical night runs about two hours and roughly 28 songs. Recent sets have opened with “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You”, “Sapphire” and “Castle on the Hill”, run through “The A Team”, “Shivers” and “Eyes Closed”, then moved to the small B-stage for a fan-request slot where the crowd texts in picks (think “Lego House” or “Tenerife Sea”). The home stretch usually has “Thinking Out Loud”, “Perfect”, “Photograph” and “Bloodstream”, with an encore of “Shape of You”, “Azizam” and “Bad Habits”. Sets vary night to night; the full typical running order is on our LOOP Tour setlist page.
