According to a news release from the Prudential Center, presale registration begins August 19 at 10 a.m. at www.ateezlive.com. The presale is available Wednesday, Aug. 24 at 4 p.m. until Thursday, Aug. 25 at 10 p.m. General onsale begins Aug. 26 at 4 p.m. local time.

Want to know what to expect when attending shows at the Prudential Center? As of Aug. 19, here’s their coronavirus policy as seen on their website:

“As a result of the executive order from the City of Newark on March 2, effective immediately and unless required otherwise by the artist or promoter of a particular show, guests will no longer be required to show proof of vaccination or proof of a negative test to enter Prudential Center, and will not be required to wear face masks to attend events, including New Jersey Devils games. Mask use is still permitted based on fan preference by those who chose to do so.”

The Prudential Center offered the following background about the band:

“ATEEZ made their debut in 2018 with eight members that sport their talent, as well as their synergy as a group with other members. The name ATEEZ is short for “ATEEnagerZ,” meaning they will show everything about the teenagers from A to Z. With their unique storytelling, quality music, and powerful performances, ATEEZ has built a strong international following and presence, with now over 650 million streams on just Spotify alone. ATEEZ has charted #42 on Billboard 200 for the first time with ‘ZERO : FEVER Part.3’ album and later entered the chart once more with the previous EP ‘ZERO : FEVER EPILOGUE’. The group has also peaked in the Top 10 on Billboard’s World Album Chart.”

The group canceled part of its tour in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. But when Ateez visited New Jersey’s largest city earlier this year, it caused a big buzz on social media.
