The Pretoria Night at the SunBet Arena

The SunBet Arena sits inside the Time Square complex at Menlyn Maine, in the eastern part of Pretoria. It opened in 2017 and holds about 8,500 people for a seated concert.

Big Concerts lists doors at 6 p.m. and the performance at 8 p.m. Pretoria time. Sun International, which runs the venue, gives the Pretoria entry price as R800, about 49 US dollars.

The Cape Town Night at the Grand Arena

The Grand Arena stands inside the GrandWest complex on Jakes Gerwel Drive in Goodwood, in the northern suburbs of Cape Town. The room seats about 5,000 people and takes up to 7,000 standing.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m. Cape Town time. Cape Town ETC lists the seat range as R915 to R3,165, about 56 to 194 US dollars.

What the Tickets Cost and How They Are Sold

Tickets are sold through Big Concerts and Ticketmaster South Africa, and general sales opened on 19 June 2026. Buyers are limited to six tickets each, and Gold and Silver VIP packages sit above the standard tiers.

Both dates were still listed as on sale in late September 2026. Payment is in rand, so readers with a foreign card should confirm that the platform accepts it.

Destin Conrad Opens Both Evenings

Destin Conrad, an American singer and songwriter from Florida, opens both South African concerts. He is the only support act the promoter has named so far.

The two dates belong to The Kehlani World Tour, which supports the singer’s self-titled fifth album. That record produced the single Folded, which won two Grammy Awards in 2026.

From a Festival Slot in 2022 to Two Arena Dates

Kehlani first performed in South Africa in October 2022, at the Rocking the Daisies festival. That was a festival slot rather than a headline show of the singer’s own.

December falls in the South African summer, and the concert calendar fills up around the holidays. Limp Bizkit play FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on 13 December 2026, two days before the Pretoria concert.

Practical Notes for Foreign Residents

Both arenas sit inside large casino and entertainment complexes, each with its own parking. GrandWest charges R10 per car for secure parking, about 60 US cents.

The concerts are in English, and tickets are priced in rand through a South African platform. Big Concerts sets the standing age limit at 12 years and 1.2 metres, and admits no children under three.

What Has Not Been Published

The vendor pages do not print a full price table for either city. Sun International lists a Pretoria entry price of R800, about 49 US dollars, and nothing above it.

Prices for the Gold and Silver VIP packages have not been announced, and no stage time has been given for Destin Conrad. Both gaps usually close in the weeks before a December arena date.
