According to information compiled by FEW.ae editor, one of the most anticipated comedy nights of 2025 will take place in Dubai when Andrew Schulz & Flagrant Live come to the stage at the Coca-Cola Arena. This event, part of the city’s expanding roster of international live acts, blends stand-up comedy with a live podcast taping and promises an unforgettable evening. Below is an in-depth look at what attendees can expect, from venue specs and logistics to the show’s creative forces.
Venue Spotlight: Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai
The Coca-Cola Arena sits in the vibrant City Walk district of Dubai, adjacent to Financial Centre Road and Sheikh Zayed Road, making it relatively central for many urban and suburban routes. The site opened in June 2019 and is operated by Legends Global under the ownership of Dubai Holdings Entertainment.
With a maximum capacity of about 17,000 spectators, the arena is among the largest indoor venues in the region. Its interior is designed for flexibility: the main bowl, which measures roughly 86 m × 45 m, can be configured with retractable seating and movable stage arrangements for different event formats (end-stage, in-the-round, and “intimate” setups).
The building’s infrastructure supports heavy production loads. The roof structure is rated to support up to 190 metric tons of equipment, which accommodates large rigs, lighting trusses, sound systems, and scenic elements. The venue includes 17 elevators, 26 escalators, four sports changing rooms, eight artist dressing rooms, over 35 food & beverage outlets, and multiple accessible seating areas. Its façade is outfitted with thousands of LEDs, enabling dynamic exterior lighting effects.
Inside, the arena is fully air-conditioned, allowing year-round operation despite Dubai’s harsh summer heat. Hospitality and VIP suites are located on levels two and three, sandwiched between fixed seating on levels one and four.
On event days, the Coca-Cola Arena box office is located between Entrances C and D. Entry doors typically open two hours before show time. The venue operates entirely cashless—attendees must use card or digital payments (Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.).
Show Date, Time & Entry Logistics
The Andrew Schulz & Flagrant Live event is scheduled for Tuesday, 7 October 2025, with doors opening at 8:00 PM. Because e-tickets are distributed around five days prior to the event, many ticket holders will receive them around 2 October.
This is a 16+ event, meaning attendees must be aged 16 or older. Tickets range in price from AED 295 (Lower Tier Silver) up to AED 495 (Floor Platinum) depending on seating category. Once an e-ticket is validated for entry, re-entry is not permitted. Physical ID checks may also occur. Platinumlist Dubai
Parking is limited. The arena offers paid parking on a first-come, first-served basis—rates reportedly begin at AED 65. Until September 2025, parking capacity is further restricted due to enhancements underway. Because of this, the venue strongly encourages using public transportation or ride-hailing.
Getting there is feasible via Dubai Metro (Red Line), alighting at either Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall or Business Bay, followed by a short taxi or bus ride. Taxis and ride-hailing services have designated drop-off zones in front of the arena’s entrances (Entrances A, B, C). Because of traffic congestion common on event nights, it’s advisable to depart early.
As for weather, in early October Dubai evenings are typically warm and dry, with temperatures likely in the range of 25–30 °C and generally clear skies—ideal conditions for getting to a show without weather delays or discomfort. (While no specific forecast is available this far in advance, this is based on seasonal norms.)
