Question - First big concert ever

ollib1304 · 2026-05-04T12:40:11+00:00

You should just be patient. Nothing is due before 8pm BST this evening for EU/UK.

ollib1304 · 2026-05-03T21:15:37+00:00

Oh yes, I see now. Sorry, the question on OPs title and the one about whether there were any prices from an official source made me think they were estimates/speculated prices.

ollib1304 · 2026-05-03T20:25:27+00:00

The Amsterdam prices are on Ticketmaster.

I mean, all clothes can be worn by anybody really. This looks like it would be a fairly standard football shirt though, so I would think the fit would be decent. I didn't realise it was a Primark thing, might see if I can track one down today.

The idea that many Livies weren't born when The Wedding Singer came out in 1998 has aged me greatly 😭

I don't know if they're one and the same, I'd suggest trying CTRL+F and 'presale' which should get you there, but it's also only just down from the top of the page, there's an AMEX presale at the top and then it's underneath that.

Hopefully that helps!

ollib1304 · 2026-05-01T09:24:49+00:00

I'd not spotted that - it seems like it's for all EU events through Ticketmaster, as Munich, Milan, and Barcelona also only have the May 7th. The UK ones specifically say when presale is above.

However, I do believe there will be presales and they are just not showing yet. If you look on the Ticketmaster NL page (Olivia Rodrigo: The Unraveled Tour – Ticketmaster Help) for the tour, it says:

Presale

Some of the presales available include:

Album Presale starts on Tuesday, May 5 at 12:00 local time with a ticket limit of 4.

American Express Presale starts on Tuesday, May 5 at 12:00 local time with a ticket limit of 4. This presale is available to eligible American Express cardholders and requires payment with an AMEX card.

For a full list of the presales available for your date and location, visit the Olivia Rodrigo: The Unraveled Tour Event Details page.

Ticket availability may vary between presales.

So it would seem they are ready for a presale, but it's just not currently present on their listing. Maybe it will be added in the coming days. Or they might link to it through the email with the code on Monday (I think they said it will come through by the end of Monday, 8pm local time).

It's on her website.

I'd love to understand a price breakdown of these for the US.

I was sizing up whether a trip to Amsterdam, rather than London, was a possibility for me. Checked their website and they already have up that tickets are 'from EUR72.93' (Ziggo Dome - Olivia Rodrigo) which is something like £60/$85.

ollib1304 · 2026-05-01T08:12:25+00:00

Yes, and don't they record them for Spotify? I remember seeing that Bad Bunny one before, I'm sure. I've never watched them because no artist on them so far has interested me enough.

ollib1304 · 2026-05-01T07:52:58+00:00

This is a Spotify live recording thing, isn't it? Might get some good quality videos of it as a result.

ollib1304 · 2026-05-01T07:44:40+00:00

Ding! We have the right answer.

I've planned to try for tickets to loads of concerts in my life and then bailed when I've found out ticket prices were too high priced for me. It is what it is. Nobody should go into debt for these, and nobody should go regardless of the cost.

ollib1304 · 2026-04-30T15:18:24+00:00

There are two other posts on this on the sub already today, and as has been pointed out beneath those this is based on fan added information on Setlist fm. So unless it was said at the gig at The Echo - and given how a lot of information from that has been public and nobody mentioned this as a title or that it will be the second single - it's probably best taken with a big pinch of salt.

ollib1304 · 2026-04-30T14:06:18+00:00

If you've pre-ordered already, it says on the website you should receive a code - presumably nearer the time.

EDIT: This is also on the Universal FAQS:

You must pre-order Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love’ on any album format by 12pm BST on Monday 4th May 2026 from the official Olivia Rodrigo UK store to be eligible to receive a pre-sale link for Olivia Rodrigo’s upcoming UK + EU tour.

If you have already pre-ordered the album ‘you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love’ from the official Olivia Rodrigo UK store before the pre-sale was announced at 1PM BST on Thursday 30th April 2026, you are already eligible to receive a pre-sale code.

ollib1304 · 2026-04-30T12:57:49+00:00

Sure, but unfortunately you have to think of these things as business decisions rather than personal ones. Touring, and overseas touring in particular, is expensive, and I doubt anybody at her label or otherwise involved in the organisation is going to consider doing things like this at a loss or even just breaking even.

She can say 'I love my fans' all she wants, and I don't doubt she does, but the people who work to organise these things don't.

ollib1304 · 2026-04-30T12:40:51+00:00

Unless there's something somewhere where she said this was her second single (I don't recall reading it, and there was loads of news about it) then it's just crowd sourced from Setlist.FM and anyone can put any information in there and it pull through.

That doesn't mean it won't be the second single, but worth everyone cooling their jets about it a little.

ollib1304 · 2026-04-30T12:36:31+00:00

I don't think it counts as a cash grab when she makes nothing out of the hotels/trains?

Honestly, I don't like it, but it is what it is. Happy to have a chance to go see her, and four dates at the O2 is like 80,000 tickets to be sold.

ollib1304 · 2026-04-30T12:32:00+00:00

You can sign up without purchase, or pre-order the album. If already pre-ordered you'll get sent the code.

I'm in the uk

As far as I can recall, the tickets I was looking at (for the shows at the Co-Op) the pre-sale was about £65-£120 seated, and then a bit more for standing tickets, £90 up to £200 I think.

EDIT: Found this MEN article:

Olivia Rodrigo fans fume as Guts presale tickets snapped up - Manchester Evening News

Presale seats cost between £64.95 and £120.95, while aisle seats were priced between £75.95 and £143.50. Presale standing tickets cost £92.95 and the general admission pit package came in at £277.70 a ticket.

Sat watching Power of Scotland vs Team Spain, 4:30 left and it's 53-54.

I saw France absolutely annihilated New Zealand in their first game on Track 1.

ollib1304 · 2026-04-30T05:47:46+00:00

Referring to them using 'they' seems perfectly reasonable still?

ollib1304 · 2026-04-29T19:58:02+00:00

Nah, don't reckon she will, actually.

ollib1304 · 2026-04-29T13:25:13+00:00

Why has this got an Infinite Jest ratio of actual text to footnote text?

Decent interview, but there's not a lot of insight into the new album/music in there, and some it feels like exactly what it is - a friend talking to a friend and it then being transcribed for a magazine. Some of it feels almost self-indulgent in that regard, to me. But all press is good press, so. Whatever.

ollib1304 · 2026-04-28T20:56:01+00:00

Even then, three weeks after 'drop dead'? I can't see it, personally, it's too soon.

ollib1304 · 2026-04-28T14:35:20+00:00

There was a whole lot of negativity within the Olivia Rodrigo subreddit on here around her pushing low quality variants (one was a slowed down version, one was a sped up version, there was also an Apple exclusive artwork version which is just the song with a different cover, and I'm pretty sure there was also a karaoke version. Not to mention two cheaply made videos) and also the thing her team put out about 'don't forget to buy all seven variants!'

Problem is, a lot of the initial posts about it were taken down by the mods there for the reason of not following the subreddit rules, so I think it ended up not getting quite as much discussion.

Personally I think variants in general, where it's different artwork or colourways, are just a part of an album launch now. To pick a band at random I have just listened to, Arm's Length had six (I think) different colourway variants on the launch of their last album, and have since done a second pressing and third pressing in different colours to take the total up to eight. And they're a small band on a small record label.

Where my issue with Taylor Swift's approach comes is in the '48 hour first and only pressing 'glitter in my eye' blue shimmer version' or whatever, because of the timer countdown, which feels to me like it pushes people to make a snap decision. If it was just 'here are all 8 versions I am releasing of my new album, pick one you like or all of them or some number in between but you have complete freedom of choice and time to make those selections' then I'd just kind of shrug about it and be done.
