Where you can get your wristband for Manchester Pride 2022

The Manchester Pride 2022 box office is now officially open and ready for attendees to swap their tickets for a pledge band.

Whether you’re coming for the day or the full weekend, all attendees will need to wear a wristband to enjoy the Gay Village Party, which this year includes the likes of Melanie C, Bimini, Nadine Coyle, and Danny Beard.

Making a change from the last couple of years - and back to how many will remember it used to be - the main stages will all be based within the Gay Village, which will certainly add to the party vibe.

For those leaving it to the last minute, there are still some tickets available on Ticketmaster but it looks like separate tickets for Saturday are currently sold out. At the time of the writing, day tickets for Friday, Sunday, and Monday, alongside the full weekend tickets, are all still available to buy.

Manchester Pride bosses have said there will also be a ‘small allocation’ of all ticket types available at the box office today (August 26). These are first come first served and are expected to sell out quickly.

In order to grab your pledge wristband, you’ll need to head to the official box office which is situated at Major Street Car Park, Manchester, M1 3DB. The box office will be open from 12pm to 12am between today and Sunday. On Monday, the box office will be open from 12pm until 6pm.

You will need to bring with you either your mobile ticket (which can be printed out) or a physical ticket purchased from Gay Village venues in order to exchange it for a pledge band.

To access your mobile ticket on your phone, you will need to download the Ticketmaster App and access your event order. Underneath your ticket, click ‘add to wallet’. This will let you access the ticket quickly when you arrive without the need to use the internet.

Once you've got your wristband, you are free to go and head towards the party - you can come and go as you please. For stage times over the weekend, click here.
