Diversity Bristol 2022: how to get tickets to double header at the Bristol Hippodrome, UK Connected Tour dates

Famous UK dance group Diversity have announced that they are set to perform in Bristol on two separate occasions as part of their huge Connected Tour in 2022.

The performers are renowned for previously winning Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, famously beating crowd-favourite Susan Boyle to the crown.

Since then, Diversity have remained on our screens, with frontman Ashley Banjo appearing as a panellist on ITV’s Dancing on Ice.

But now the dancers are heading on a country-wide tour, including two dates in the South West of England - so here is everything you need to know.

How do I get tickets to their shows in Bristol?

Tickets are still available to both of Diversity’s dance shows at the Bristol Hippodrome in June 2022.

With a capacity of 1,951, the venue is renowned for being a great and intimate entertainment hub that creates a buzzing atmosphere for live performances.

According to ticketing partner Ticketmaster, tickets for both shows are at limited availability as hype grows across the city for two nights of dance-filled fun in June.

The first show on Sunday, 5 June has a number available on its official Ticketmaster page on resale as prices range from £51.55 to £103.64.

Whilst there is slightly more availability for the Monday, 6 June show via its Ticketmaster page, with resale prices from £49.45 to £158.11.

If for whatever reason you go to purchase tickets and one or both events are completely sold out, you can visit ticket exchange websites such as Viagogo and Twickets, search for the Diversity Bristol shows and see if any have been listed on there for resale.
