Ticketmaster is the. way. to. go. You can find tickets for both London and non-London residents (you will need to enter your postcode). Currently, there is more availability of non-resident tickets, though they are a bit pricier.

Other resale sites include Viagogo, Stubhub and Tixel HOWEVER! Please buy at your own risk, anything other than Ticketmaster is not an “official” reseller and may be a scam. You need to bring IDs to show against your ticket to ensure that they were legally bought so make sure to do your own research!
