Two Nights on Yas IslandFace Value First: Where General Sale RunsThe Sold-Out Friday: Packages and ResaleRed Flags in Resale ListingsPicking Seats for a Ballad ConcertFadel Chaker's Other 2026 Tour DatesFrequently Asked QuestionsTickets for the Friday 20 November concert at Etihad Arena sold out within hours of general sale opening at 6pm on 26 October 2026. That leaves two main routes to Fadel Chaker Abu Dhabi tickets: the added Monday 23 November night or resale for the Friday.
Article Summary: Buy the Monday 23 November show at face value once general sale opens, most likely through Etihad Arena's booking website or Platinumlist, which sold the Friday. For the sold-out Friday 20 November show, resale is the main remaining option, and Etihad Arena's terms put resold tickets at risk, so read every listing note before paying.
- Moments Events added a second Etihad Arena night on Monday 23 November 2026 after the 20 November show sold out.
- Etihad Arena published 16 ticket categories for 20 November, from AED 295 (Bronze) to AED 4,500 (Royal 1st Row) including VAT, as of October 2026.
- Etihad Arena's terms allow it to cancel tickets bought from unauthorised resellers and name Viagogo and Dubizzle.
Fadel Chaker shares both nights with his son Mohamed, after Riyadh Season comeback concerts that were his first in about 14 years. Our Fadel Chaker tickets listings cover both Abu Dhabi dates, with the seat area and delivery method each seller has listed.
Two Nights on Yas Island
Both shows are promoted by Moments Events, which announced the Monday on Instagram after the Friday sold out, according to Al Jadeed.
| Date | Day | General sale status | Recommended buying option |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 November 2026 | Friday | Sold out within hours of the 26 October on-sale | Resale, or the Yas Island package if still bookable |
| 23 November 2026 | Monday | Added after the Friday sold out | Face value, expected via Etihad Arena or Platinumlist |
Face Value First: Where General Sale Runs
Etihad Arena sells this concert through its own booking website, and Platinumlist carries the same event. The venue's visitor FAQ also names Ticketmaster.ae, Virgin Megastore Tickets, Fever, District by Zomato and Q-Tickets as approved platforms for its events, but we found this concert only on the arena's site and Platinumlist.
Etihad Arena's booking page lists 16 categories for 20 November, with prices including VAT:
| Category | Face value (AED, incl. VAT, October 2026) |
|---|---|
| Bronze / Bronze Plus | 295 / 350 |
| Silver / Gold | 450 / 550 |
| Platinum / Platinum Plus | 790 / 790 |
| Diamond / Diamond Plus | 840 / 890 |
| VIP / VVIP / VVIP Plus | 1,100 / 1,400 / 1,800 |
| Royal Plus | 2,000 |
| Royal 4th / 3rd / 2nd / 1st Row | 2,200 / 2,500 / 3,500 / 4,500 |
These are the published Friday prices; Monday prices had not been listed separately when we checked. Tickets for the Friday performance sold out within hours, so have these ready before general sale for the Monday concert opens:
- A logged-in account on Etihad Arena's website or Platinumlist with a saved payment card.
- The Yas Island app, where Etihad Arena tickets sit as a QR code (a scannable barcode) tied to the buyer's account.
- A back-up category in case your first choice sells out.
If general sale runs out of the category you want, check our 23 November listings. No resale seats were listed for the Monday when we checked in October 2026, so availability depends on sellers coming forward.
The Sold-Out Friday: Packages and Resale
Yas Island listed a Fadel and Mohammed Chaker concert package for 20 November that bundles at least one hotel night on the island with Diamond, Platinum or Gold tickets. Its terms set a purchase deadline of 27 October 2026, so check whether it is still bookable before relying on it; the tickets are not sold without the room.
Otherwise, the remaining Friday seats come from resellers. Etihad Arena's terms state that tickets are non-transferable, that the arena may confiscate tickets resold above face value and that it may cancel tickets bought from unauthorised resellers, naming Viagogo and Dubizzle. Our guide to how Viagogo resale works explains why venues single out those platforms.
1BoxOffice is a secondary ticket marketplace operating since 2006 and is not affiliated with Moments Events or Etihad Arena. Independent sellers set their own prices, which may exceed face value. Under the 150% money-back guarantee, buyers who do not receive their tickets and are not offered suitable alternatives qualify for a full refund, and an additional credit voucher worth 50% of the original order value, excluding fees and taxes, may be issued, capped at £125 or the equivalent. The terms also state that 1BoxOffice is not liable if a venue refuses entry, even with a valid ticket, which matters given Etihad Arena's resale rules.
If the Monday suits you, try face value there first. If only the Friday will do, our 20 November listings show the seat area and delivery method each seller has listed.

Red Flags in Resale Listings
High demand can attract misleading resale listings. Before you pay any reseller, check for these warning signs:
- Instagram, Telegram or Dubizzle sellers asking for a bank transfer.
- QR code screenshots, which Etihad Arena refuses; the live code appears in the app only 48 hours before the show.
- Listings with no seat area or a date other than 20 or 23 November.
- Age rules that contradict the venue, which admits under-16s with an adult aged 21 or over.
Our explainer on how social media ticket scams work covers the wider pattern, and 1BoxOffice buyers can track their order until the tickets arrive. The same checks apply to any concert tickets you buy in the UAE this season.
Picking Seats for a Ballad Concert
Fadel Chaker's catalogue is mostly slow romantic ballads, so a raked (sloped) seat facing the stage usually suits the show better than the rear of a flat floor. Category positions are set per event, so compare the layout shown at checkout with the Etihad Arena seating plan, and use our Etihad Arena tickets guide for transport and venue rules.
Fadel Chaker's Other 2026 Tour Dates
If both Abu Dhabi nights are out of reach, his other tour dates were reported by Masrawy, Okaz and ticketing platforms in each country.

No Dubai date has been announced so far, so Etihad Arena is the only UAE venue on the tour.
2. What time does the Fadel Chaker concert start in Abu Dhabi?
-
Doors for the 20 November show open at 7:30pm and Platinumlist lists a 9:30pm start, though the Yas Island package page says 9pm, so package buyers should check their booking confirmation.
3. Which songs will Fadel Chaker sing in Abu Dhabi?
-
No setlist has been published, so songs mentioned in event listings, such as “Ya Ghayeb” and “Sahak El Shouq”, are not confirmed for either night.
4. Will the Abu Dhabi concert be shown live on TV or streaming?
-
No Abu Dhabi broadcast has been announced so far, though the Riyadh comeback concert is on Shahid.

Go for face value on the Monday if you can. If only the Friday will do, 1BoxOffice lists seats from independent sellers, and its 150% money-back guarantee gives a full refund when tickets never arrive and no suitable alternative is offered, with an extra credit voucher at 1BoxOffice's discretion.
