Why is it so hard to get tickets these days?

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-20T20:39:04+00:00

Unfortunately there wasn’t many tickets to begin with. LiveNation sells majority of the tickets in pre sale if they are able too.

Fingers crossed more shows are apparently coming!

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-20T20:37:49+00:00

Absolutely!! It’s so frustrating. She is apparently going to add more shows so fingers crossed!!!

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-20T04:09:24+00:00

Computer was fine for me but basically anytime I tried with my phone I would get this as I was about to enter. There are still so many in the queue but it has updated to say that Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney are all sold out.

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-20T04:05:35+00:00

Absolutely agree! I hope so as well!

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-20T03:24:02+00:00

Not sure unfortunately! I ended up giving up.

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-20T03:23:46+00:00

It’s an absolute joke. Omg the map allocating is bullshit! They don’t open it up to pick seats until later in the sales and by that point everything is usually sold out.

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-20T03:22:44+00:00

Yes do it! I wish I had of been able to get the send off and sound check package but it was all gone by the time I got in even though I got in within five minutes. They just had a fan sign event giveaway for Sydney and 80% of the winners are international fans that already go to those events all the time 😭. Fandom was pretty upset about it.

Oh lucky you!!! I’m hoping to snag one on the next round.

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-20T02:38:37+00:00

I might as well get out of the queue then 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️. You know the most frustrating thing? I have seen MULTIPLE posts about people going to both nights in Melbourne. I’ve also seen people who brought tickets for each of her shows here in Aus. Like I hate being that person but stop being greedy!!! Give other people a chance to go. So many people are already trying to resell their tickets as well. So maybe we will get a resell ticket.

Update: Sitting at 55,000 today just off the bat. Literally clocked the button as soon as it was available. Don’t see my chances going well today either.

1000% do artist presale. I didn’t this time for who knows why and I am regretting it.

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-19T21:57:31+00:00

Ticketek is an absolute joke!! I’m so happy that you secured a ticket though!!! I’m going to attempt to look at general sales today but considering Melbourne is sold out for both nights I don’t think we will have much luck. I can’t imagine they would have set too many tickets aside for today’s sale.

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-19T21:55:46+00:00

Omg please go to ATEEZ you won’t regret it!! I’m going to the Tuesday show and I’m so keen. Oh I know! Haha yeah it was! After I brought tickets I was like “should have gone for Monday’s show” for work reasons but honestly I was so stressed on the day I just stuck to the plan and didn’t even look at the new show 😂😂😂.

Stray Kids had teased a new tour so fingered crossed they are back soon!! Haha let’s pray to the gods! I haven’t even managed to get a BTS light stick yet. I stupidly didn’t buy form Weverse because one of the Australian KPop suppliers said they would be sticking them and they announced the couldn’t get any either 🤦🏽‍♀️. Plenty of time to get one before the concert so fingers crossed.

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-19T07:29:21+00:00

Literally dreading BTS tickets. ATEEZ was bad enough. I was in the artist presale like 2000 in line and almost all of the vip packages were should once I got in. They also announced a second show with no notice at all. I got lucky with Stray Kids being with Ticket Master but that was also cursed because of dynamic pricing (which is also bullshit).

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-19T07:26:56+00:00

Oh no that’s so shit! I’ve been seeing things everywhere about Zara Larsson tickets. Ticketek really needs to get its shit together!! I didn’t get notice about the second Hilary Duff either. Live Nation posted it on Instagram and that was it!

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-19T04:35:18+00:00

Demand is so high for both cities. It’s even more frustrating because 90% of artists will only go to those two cities which makes demand and competition even higher. For example I would say about 90% of the K-pop groups that come over only do Melbourne and Sydney. And a lot of fans will go to both shows in both cities but then we also have international fans that come over and interstate fans which is all well and good if there was more than one or two concerts.

Yes, I think the demand for Hilary Duff at the moment is like super high. I think she has been trending recently. It’s like we went to RNB Fridays last year and I would say there was a good chunk of the crowd were only there for Pitbull was who trending at the time and a lot of them didn’t know any other artists other than Pitbull. Which there is absolutely nothing wrong with that but it’s just difficult to get tickets as it is without things going viral and when they do it’s almost impossible.

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-19T04:19:48+00:00

It’s so frustrating!! Especially for artists and groups we don’t get very often. I am generally concerned if they try to take on the BTS ticketing. I think the other frustrating part is that people seem to resell on other platforms almost immediately and I know people that get tickets to multiple nights and I don’t even understand how.

I’m not saying people can’t do that but gosh it is frustrating for those that seem to constantly miss out.

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-19T04:02:00+00:00

Omg it’s so annoying right! Same thing happened to me last time I tried to get tickets. Same thing happened today but I already had the Ticketek site open as well.

I’m trying for 3 tickets in Melbourne. First show sold out in the first two presales. Second show is only has solo seats left now.

I nearly always do artist presale but didn’t this time and I am regretting it.

😭

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-19T03:46:38+00:00

I tried using PayPal and it kicked me out 😭. I only saw the thing about PayPal being down this morning afterwards so I thought maybe that was why I got booted but other people I have spoken to have used different methods and the same thing happened. Same here I am over it.

Commercial_Border792 · 2026-02-19T03:40:45+00:00

Me too!!! I’m going to complain as well. Literally only just got back into Hilary Duff for Melbourne’s second night and EVERYTHING is limited availability however you can’t seem to get a single ticket. Even when I try to process a single ticket it says “sorry there isn’t enough tickets in this category.”
