MEET & GREETS
What time will I meet the Gladiators?
Gladiators appear at three Meet & Greet sessions each day. If you have a Contender Arena ticket, we recommend attending the session closest to either before or after your Arena time.
Saturday
- 12:00pm – 1:00pm
- 2:30pm – 3:30pm
- 5:30pm – 6:30pm
Sunday & Weekdays
- 11:30am – 12:30pm
- 2:00pm – 3:00pm
- 4:00pm – 5:00pm
Two Gladiators are scheduled to appear at each session (as previously advertised), but appearances may be subject to change due to circumstances outside the promoter’s control.
All timings are subject to change.
Does an essential companion/carer need a Meet & Greet ticket?
No. Approved essential companions/carers do not require a Meet & Greet ticket.
Does a VIP ticket include the Meet & Greet?
No. The Meet & Greet is a separate add-on and must be purchased in addition to a VIP ticket.
My child has a Meet & Greet ticket - do parents/guardians also need one?
One parent or guardian may accompany a child who requires supervision without needing an additional Meet & Greet ticket.
Please note: parents/guardians without their own Meet & Greet ticket may accompany the child but cannot appear in photographs taken with the Gladiators or request an autograph.
What happens during my Meet & Greet session?
Fans will enter the private Meet & Greet and get one photo with the Gladiators and request one autograph per Gladiator.
Please note that other fans will also be waiting to meet the Gladiators and event staff will politely ask you to exit the room once you have your photo & autograph.
Where is the Meet & Greet held?
The Meet & Greet is located inside the Vault, head left from the main entrance and past the archive to the Atlaspheres. The Meet & Greet area will be clearly signposted on your chosen day.
Can you accommodate additional access or support needs?
The Meet & Greet is an informal opportunity to meet the Gladiators in a private room away from the Arena. The space is step-free and wheelchair accessible.
Numbers are capped, but there may still be some queuing depending on demand. When you reach the front of the queue, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the Gladiators, request autographs, and take photos. After meeting them, you’ll be asked to exit the room so other guests can enjoy their experience.
If you or your child have specific access or support requirements, our on-site team will be happy to assist on the day wherever possible.
What happens if I miss my Meet & Greet time?
Your Meet & Greet ticket allows a single-use entry to one of the advertised sessions on your visit day. If you miss one session, you may attend another available session that day.
Please note: re-entry is not permitted once you have used your Meet & Greet ticket.
Can I leave and re-enter the Meet & Greet?
No. Meet & Greet tickets allow a single-use entry only. Re-entry is not permitted once you leave the Meet & Greet room.
Are autographs and photos included?
Yes. One autograph and photo with the Gladiators are included in your Meet & Greet ticket at no extra charge. Guests are welcome to bring their own items to sign.
A special souvenir autograph booklet will also be available to purchase separately.
Are Meet & Greets suitable for young children?
Yes. Meet & Greets are suitable for Gladiators fans of all ages.
Will there be Meet & Greets available for other dates?
We’re working closely with the Gladiators to arrange Meet & Greet opportunities throughout the duration of the Experience. Any additional dates will be announced if confirmed.
Does the Meet & Greet mean I’ll face the Gladiators in the Arena events?
No. Meet & Greets are separate from Arena challenges. They are an opportunity to meet the Gladiators, take photos, and collect autographs.
