What to know before you go
Tickets are digital and are invalid after their first scan, so re-entry is not allowed. Guests under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and every attendee over 2 needs a ticket. Outside food and drink, professional cameras and selfie sticks are not permitted. Tickets are non-refundable unless the show is officially cancelled or changed.
Flying in for the show? Getting from the airport to Ora Arena
Ora Arena is on the European side of the city. From Istanbul Airport (IST) it is roughly 35 km, usually 35 to 50 minutes by car depending on traffic. A fixed-price Istanbul Airport transfer takes you straight to your hotel, with a driver waiting in the arrivals hall holding your name sign.
If you land at Sabiha Gökçen on the Asian side, plan for a longer drive across the Bosphorus, often 60 to 90 minutes in the evening. Book a Sabiha Gökçen Airport transfer in advance so you are not hunting for a taxi with your luggage.
Concert night: skip the taxi queue
Thousands of fans leave Ora Arena at the same time, and taxis around the bus terminal are hard to find after the encore. The M1 metro serves the area, but it gets crowded and is not ideal in evening wear. With a private car with driver, your chauffeur drops you at the arena, waits nearby and takes you back to your hotel the moment the show ends.
Staying for New Year's Eve? The same driver can take you around the city the next day, from Bosphorus views to the countdown celebrations.
