If you've ever been to a karaoke bar or rented a private room with friends, chances are, you've heard of Journey whether you realize it or not. The band has made a legacy of songs that have crossed generations with their epic ballads. I may have laughed about my dad and his friends growing up in the Midwest singing “Wheel in the Sky” and “Only the Young," yet here I am decades later repeating that cycle with my kids. Luckily, for fans old and new, the band is going on tour next year and I've broken down how to get Journey tickets below.

While the band no longer has their famous front man and acclaimed songwriter, Steve Perry (he’s still alive, but hasn’t been with the band since 1998), they have continued on. There have been multiple iterations since Perry’s exit from the band, including multiple different singers. Steve Augeri took the lead from 1998 to 2006. Jeff Scott Soto took the mic briefly for a year in 2006. Arnel Pineda has been holding the mic ever since.

Despite the changes in the band’s front mic lineup, the band hasn’t stopped believing in the power of touring. They’ve been holding onto that feeling for decades. This year, however, is the time when the Journey may be ending its big touring journey.

Next year’s tour is due to be their final farewell tour. We’re going to help you find your way with “Open Arms” to the tour that the band has deemed their “Final Frontier Tour” with leads on ways you can find ways to “Be Good to Yourself” and get the cheapest tickets on Stubhub and VividSeats to their big coming final farewell tour to sing along before they go their “Separate Ways.”

Journey’s 2026 tour schedule

Just because the band is finally hanging their hat up after this tour doesn’t mean that they aren’t going to go the distance with making sure that their fans have a chance to see them live before they make their exit.

While they will be playing in several major cities along their tour, the band is specifically choosing to play in areas outside major metropolitan areas that typically host big-name acts. They are playing in several smaller town venues across the country, which gives fans in areas that might not have been able to make a trek to a big city a chance to see them.

The band will also be playing a select number of shows in a few cities in Canada.

How to buy tickets for Journey’s 2026 concert tour

Journey may have played about the city by the Bay, but for some reason, they aren’t headed there during their tour. The closest they will get to it is hundreds of miles away, with shows in Sacramento, Fresno, and Bakersfield being the closest stops that Bay Area fans will be able to see the San Francisco-originated band. Perhaps the lights may have already gone down on the city by the bay for them.

That aside, the band is playing a lot of midsize and smaller cities for the majority of their farewell tour. It’s groovy for some, but city folks may have to make more of a trek to get to see them if they want to catch one of these last shows.

That said, tickets for most of the shows are also not super high city prices. They’re pretty accessible price-wise. If you poke around, you can easily scoop tickets for a show for under or about a hundred bucks. That’s not a bad thing at all. Parking may even be a lot less stressful, too.

How much are tickets?

You can find tickets on Ticketmaster, StubHub, and Vivid Seats. Some tickets are unavailable via certain resellers. The Canada tickets, for example, were only available on VividSeats. The three-day pass for their appearance at Stagecoach was only available on Stubhub.

Shows can be vastly cheaper on resellers, but it really isn’t an exact science. There are some tickets available for the opening show on Ticketmaster for as low as $98. There are also ticket options available over there for CitiBank cardholders.

outside Ticketmaster, the cheapest ticket available anywhere currently is for the April 8 show in Iowa. This cheap ticket, however, states that it is a “premium lot” ticket with a view. It appears that these may be tickets outside the venue where there is visibility to see the show while parked outside it. However, as I am not specifically familiar with this venue personally, and information from the venue’s website does not have it easily available, you may want to contact them directly before purchasing that option if you’re really curious about saving the thirty bucks or so difference in cost between that and the next higher level option. A higher-level option is available for $84 in the center itself, which is viewable on Stubhub.

The highest-priced tickets for their tour are during their appearance at the Stagecoach music festival, where fans can expect to spend at least $763 for a day pass to the show. The highest-priced single show is in Green Bay, Wisconsin, with tickets costing $271.

Who is opening for Journey’s tour?

Journey has worked hard to be the front headliners. They’re going to be holding that line in the spotlight themselves as much as possible with this tour, with the exception of when they’re going to be playing the Stagecoach festival in Indio, California. Stagecoach is a massive concert experience featuring bands such as Counting Crows, Pitbull, Bush, Post Malone, Brooks & Dunn, the Wallflowers, Ludacris, Lyle Lovett, Cody Johnson, and Lainey Wilson.

Will there be international tour dates?

The tour comprises multiple locations throughout North America. Unfortunately, there are none planned on other continents. If you’re looking to see them outside the US, you can catch one of their shows in Canada on March 7 in Ottawa, March 9 in Hamilton, March 11 in Montreal, March 12 in Quebec City, or April 17 in Vancouver, BC. The Canadian tickets are only available via VividSeats.

Who are the members of Journey?

Originally Journey was composed of lead guitarist Neal Schon who has been with the band since its inception in 1973, Gregg Rollie (who was once a lead singer of Santana before joining Journey at one point before exiting in 1980), bassist Ross Valory, rhythm guitarist George Tickner (who left after the first album), and drummer Prairie Prince (who was replaced by Aynsley Dunbar shortly after the band's formation). Needless to say, the band has seen some changes since its original formation.

Some, as mentioned above, have been about the vocalist of the band. Famous frontrunner vocalist and co-songwriter Steve Perry was with the band from 1977 to 1998. Perry was a co-songwriter on many of Journey’s most famous songs in their catalog. There have been multiple others who have left their ensemble due to differences in thoughts on the band's direction or health-related concerns. The current members of Journey embarking on this last tour are lead guitarist Neal Schon, keyboardist Jonathan Cain, vocalist Arnel Pineda, bassist Todd Jensen, drummer and singer Deen Castronovo, and keyboardist and singer Jason Derlatka.
