General sale will kick off at 10am on Friday October 25, and you'll want to be fully prepared if you want the best chance of getting tickets.

Ticketmaster and AXS are two of the websites that will be selling tickets to see the Geordie rockstar when they go on sale this week, and the internet experts NetSpeed Canada say that there's one very important check you should do before 10am hits.

They said: "To avoid disappointment and missing out, we recommend that people sign up and make Ticketmaster and AXS accounts before the tickets go on sale.

"These tickets are going on sale at 10am on Friday morning, so we would advise people to be logged into their Ticketmaster and AXS accounts at least one hour before they go on sale."

Doing this before you join that ticket queue will ensure you don't waste any time trying to remember your login information when the tickets are in your basket.

If you enter your details wrong or run out of time, you risk being booted out and ending up right back where you started - so it's well worth taking a few moments to make sure your account is ready to go.
