The "LOOP Tour" brings a whole new stage experience, featuring a 173-foot telescopic bridge linking the main stage to a circular B-stage in the crowd, while Ed builds songs live with his loop pedal—layering guitar, beats, and harmonies in real time. Opening acts Macklemore, Lukas Graham and Aaron Rowe kick off what promises to be a weekend-defining show.

From picking the right seats to navigating parking for 80,000 fans, finding the best pre-show spots in the Arlington Entertainment District, and securing tickets on SeatGeek, this guide has everything you need to make the most of Ed Sheeran’s "LOOP Tour" in Dallas.

Best places to sit at AT&T Stadium for an Ed Sheeran concert

With a standard capacity of 80,000 that can expand beyond 100,000, AT&T Stadium offers a staggering range of seating options. The right seat depends on the kind of night you want and what you're comfortable spending.

The "LOOP Tour" stage design makes this decision especially interesting. Sheeran performs on both a towering main stage and a circular B-stage positioned out in the audience, connected by a 173-foot telescopic bridge he walks across mid-show. That dual-stage layout means more sections have direct sightlines to at least one performance area than a traditional end-stage concert.

Best seats for superfans who want to be as close as possible

Floor sections (labeled A through T for most concert configurations) put you closest to the action. Sections near the B-stage deliver the most intimate moments, where Sheeran builds songs live with his loop pedals just feet away. Lower bowl 100-level sections nearest the main stage end also offer strong proximity to the full production, including fireworks and massive video screens. Expect a standing-room atmosphere, high energy and premium prices throughout the floor.

Best view-for-the-money seats

The Hall of Fame Club sections (C106–C115 and C132–C139) along the sidelines offer slight elevation that lets you take in the entire stage layout, the bridge movement and the crowd reaction all at once. The 200-level main club and 300-level mezzanine club sections provide a similar panoramic perspective at a slightly lower price point. These are the sweet spot if you want great sound, a full view of the production and a reasonable cost.

Best budget-friendly seats at AT&T Stadium

The 400-level upper concourse sections are the most affordable way to experience the show. AT&T Stadium's center-hung video board stretches from the 20-yard line to the 20-yard line, so even the highest seats get crystal-clear close-ups of the performance. You're still singing with tens of thousands of people, and the "LOOP Tour's" 360-degree design means improved sightlines compared to a traditional end-stage setup.

Best seats for a "treat yourself" / VIP experience

Hall of Fame Club seats on the 100 level include wider cushioned seating, private entrances and access to climate-controlled lounges with upscale food and drink. Suite options work well for groups wanting a private space with dedicated service. AT&T Stadium's retractable roof will likely be closed for this October evening concert, keeping the temperature comfortable regardless of what's happening outside.

You can explore all of these options using the AT&T Stadium seating chart on SeatGeek and compare Deal Score ratings across every section.

How to get to AT&T Stadium

AT&T Stadium sits in the Arlington Entertainment District, roughly midway between downtown Dallas (about 20 miles east) and Fort Worth (about 15 miles west). The stadium is about a mile south of Interstate 30, with exits at Collins Street or Ballpark Way.

Driving and parking

There are approximately 12,000 parking spaces across 15 numbered lots surrounding the stadium, plus nearly 12,000 additional spaces in lettered lots near Globe Life Field that open on event days. Lots closest to the main entrances (Lots 1–4) fill up fastest and cost the most, while outer lots (Lots 10–15) are cheaper and offer easier post-show exits. Expect to pay $40–$75 depending on proximity. You can pre-purchase parking passes on SeatGeek to lock in your spot and skip drive-up pricing. Arriving at least 90 minutes early on concert nights helps account for heavy traffic on I-30 and Highway 360.

Rideshare and taxis

The designated rideshare pickup and drop-off zone is in Lot 15, off Randol Mill Road and Webb Street. Taxis stage at the far west end of Miller LiteHouse off North Collins Street and Cowboys Way. Post-show wait times can stretch past an hour during peak exit, so agreeing on a meeting spot with your group beforehand saves time. Walking a few blocks toward Texas Live! to request your ride often results in faster pickups and lower surge pricing.

Public transit

Arlington does not have a traditional fixed-route rail system connecting directly to Dallas or Fort Worth, which makes driving or rideshare the primary options for most visitors. Arlington's Via Rideshare Service offers low-cost, app-based shuttles to designated city hubs, but capacity is limited for stadium-sized events. If you're connecting from DART (Dallas) or TEXRail (Fort Worth), you'll need a bus transfer. Checking schedules ahead of time to confirm late-night return options is a good idea.

Where to eat and hang before the Ed Sheeran show in Dallas

The Arlington Entertainment District surrounding AT&T Stadium is packed with options, and you can easily walk from dinner straight to the gates.

Pre-show spots in Arlington Entertainment District

Texas Live! is the anchor of the district—a 35,000-square-foot complex of restaurants, bars and entertainment venues located steps from AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field and Choctaw Stadium. If you want to stroll from your table to the stadium without getting in a car, these spots are your best bet.

  • Troy's: Founded by Cowboys legend Troy Aikman, serving burgers, cocktails and live music

  • Lockhart Smokehouse: Authentic Central Texas BBQ inside Texas Live!

  • PBR Texas: A country bar with a mechanical bull and high-energy pre-show atmosphere

Beyond Texas Live!, nearby options include Division Brewing (Arlington's first locally owned brewery), Prince Lebanese on Randol Mill Road—one of the original North Texas spots featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives—and Mariano's Hacienda for classic Tex-Mex. For a quick bite closer to showtime, Grease Monkey offers burgers and a big bar with occasional shuttle service to the stadiums.

Eating in downtown Fort Worth before heading to the show

The Sundance Square area in Fort Worth (about 15 miles west) offers upscale dining and a walkable nightlife scene if you'd rather enjoy a sit-down dinner with more variety before driving to the stadium. Mercury Chophouse in the Entertainment District is another option for a prime steakhouse experience with panoramic views. Plan for a 25–35 minute drive to AT&T Stadium and leave by 4:00 PM CT to make the 5:30 PM start comfortably. Reservations are strongly recommended on Saturday concert nights.

Tips to make your Ed Sheeran night in Dallas amazing

A few things worth knowing before you head to AT&T Stadium that will make the whole experience smoother.

Stadium specs AT&T Stadium's retractable roof will almost certainly be closed for this October evening show, keeping the temperature around 72°F inside. The venue is massive, though, so giving yourself extra time to find your section—especially if you're in the upper bowl—pays off. The video boards spanning 20-yard line to 20-yard line ensure you won't miss a detail from any seat.

Bag policy AT&T Stadium enforces a strict clear bag policy. Only clear bags smaller than 12" x 6" x 12" or a small clutch no larger than 4.5" x 6.5" are permitted. Backpacks, coolers and camera bags are prohibited. The venue is also 100% cashless, so a credit card, debit card or mobile payment method is required for concessions and merch.

Concert vibes Ed Sheeran's live show is built around his loop pedal technique, where he layers guitar riffs, beats and vocal harmonies in real time to create a full-band sound as a solo performer. The crowd typically goes quiet during those building moments and then erupts. 'Thinking Out Loud' and 'Perfect' usually turn the entire stadium into a sing-along, and fans often hold up phone lights during the ballads. Based on the Australia and New Zealand legs, the setlist runs about 30 songs across two and a half hours, covering every era from + through "Play."

Arrive early Arriving early enough to catch all three openers is worth it—Macklemore alone puts on a high-energy set. Plus, early arrival means shorter merch lines and time to explore AT&T Stadium's architecture. Post-show, the Entertainment District stays lively, so extending the night at Texas Live! is always an option if you're not ready for it to end.
