Top Ed Sheeran concert moments and tips from real fans

Here’s how SeatGeek employees and longtime fans describe the magic of an Ed Sheeran show, from goosebump‑inducing deep cuts to full‑stadium sing‑alongs and everything in between.

Favorite Ed Sheeran song moments in concert

“I went into the show barely knowing more than a couple of Ed Sheeran songs, but his live performance won me over and now I find myself listening to him a decent amount. My favorite moment was when he sang ‘The A Team’ and the way he told the story behind the song before he started playing it. It made all of MetLife Stadium go quiet, and you could feel everyone dial in.” - Zack Bartee 

“I’ve seen Ed Sheeran a few times now. Two moments that really stuck with me were when he came out into the crowd at Irving Plaza in 2012 to play ‘The Parting Glass’ unplugged right in the middle of everyone, and when he brought out the New Hope Choir for ‘Photograph’ at Barclays Center in 2024. Both gave me full-body chills. One tip if you’re going to see him: be ready for a sing-off between the left and right sides of the crowd, because he almost always turns the audience into part of the show.” - Kim Flores

Favorite parts of an Ed Sheeran show

"Seeing Ed Sheeran live was unlike any other show I’ve been to. Watching him rotate around the entire stadium meant every section got a front-row moment, and I’ve honestly never seen another artist do that. And watching him use his loop pedal to stack all the parts of each song live made it feel more like a mind-blowing one-man band than a regular concert." - Jack Zeldes

“If you’re going to see Ed Sheeran, make it a night out with friends and plan to get there early so you don’t miss the opener since he usually brings really good ones. If it’s in your budget, grab a floor seat and wear comfy clothes so you can actually move around and dance instead of staying glued to your chair.” - Oliver Marvin 

“My favorite part of an Ed Sheeran show is when he uses his loop pedal to build every layer of the song live. As a fan, it’s awesome knowing you’re hearing a version that’s 100% unique to that night. I also love when he brings out guests. He’s so well connected and the chemistry always feels effortless, like you’re watching two friends just hang out and have fun on stage.” - Savannah Brown

What it’s like seeing Ed Sheeran live

“Ed is an INCREDIBLE musician. He uses a loop station to build this huge, layered sound live on stage, which I absolutely did not expect the first time I saw him. His show at Barclays in 2025 was extra special because it was my daughter’s first arena concert; she was only eight months old, and I had her in a carrier with tiny headphones on.” - ArinMichelle Casey

“The first time I saw Ed Sheeran was way back in 2009 at an open mic in a dingy Camden venue in London. There were probably about 50-80 people there, but his performance was unbelievable. Even with a bad sound system, he completely captivated the room.” - Lucy Bishop
