In Australia, the cheapest tickets for the D reserve start at $129.90, which is about $40 more than similar tickets at Taylor Swift’s recent concerts in Australia. Regular general admission (GA) standing tickets are priced at $199.90, while the most expensive A reserve aisle seats cost a steep $269.90. Prices are even higher in the UK, where GA standing tickets are selling for £150 (AUD $288).

Fans took to social media to criticize the ticket prices, calling them “ridiculous” given the current cost of living crisis. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “I love Billie, but there’s no way these tickets should cost this much. I paid less for standing tickets at the Eras Tour, and that’s at Wembley.” Another user complained, “£145 for a tour for an album she hasn’t even released a single from. Gigs are becoming inaccessible.”

Eilish’s Australian tour will consist of 12 arena shows on the east coast in early 2025, beginning in Brisbane on February 18 and concluding in Melbourne on March 9. Tickets will be available first through a series of pre-sales before going on general sale on May 3, with a four-ticket limit per customer. The tour will start in Quebec, Canada, in September and end in Dublin, Ireland, in July.
