Olivia Rodrigo fans in Australia have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to get tickets to her upcoming Guts 2024 tour, with some fans even waiting in line for as long as 12 hours to secure their seats. One dedicated fan shared on TikTok that they woke up at 12.45am to queue at the Ticketek box office in Sydney, with the first person arriving to queue at 11pm the night before. While many fans were successful in getting tickets, others in the long line were disappointed after missing out. Despite the chaos, Olivia added more dates to her Australian tour due to the overwhelming demand for tickets.
Originally set to perform at just four shows in Melbourne and Sydney, Olivia expanded her tour to eight dates to accommodate her enthusiastic Australian fans. The additional dates quickly sold out as fans rushed to secure their seats to see the Deja Vu hitmaker live on stage. Fans were only allowed to purchase up to four tickets each due to the high demand for the shows, with tickets ranging in price from $75 to $400 depending on seating and package options. VIP packages were also available for fans who wanted a premium experience at the concert.
The ticket-buying process for Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts tour has drawn comparisons to Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, which also saw Aussie fans eagerly competing for tickets. Due to the popularity of the shows, fans were limited in the number of tickets they could purchase in order to ensure fair access for all. Special experiences like the GA Pit Experience tickets allowed fans early entry into the venue, a photo opportunity, and the chance to buy pre-show merchandise before the general public. Olivia also made a limited number of $20 Silver Star tickets available to make the concert more accessible to her fans.
Joining Olivia on her Australian tour is New Zealand singer-songwriter Benee, who will open all four shows with her own unique talent. The tour is in support of Rodrigo’s highly acclaimed second studio album Guts, which has earned her six Grammy nominations including Album of the Year and Song of the Year. With her music resonating with fans around the world, Olivia’s Guts 2024 tour is sure to be a memorable experience for both the pop star and her dedicated audience.
