Billie Eilish fans are furious about the high ticket prices for her upcoming world tour.
The Grammy and Oscar-winning artist, 22, unveiled her impressive 81-date tour on Instagram Monday for her upcoming album, Hit Me Hard and Soft.
However, the excitement among her fans quickly died down hours later when the pop star’s ticket prices were revealed.
In Australia, the cheapest D reservation tickets start from $129.90, which is about $40 more than the cost of similar seats at Taylor Swift’s recent Australian concerts.
Regular GA standing tickets sell for $199.90, while tickets with standby seats in Aisle A are a whopping $269.90.

Prices are even more expensive overseas: GA tickets in the UK sell for a whopping £150 (AUD$288).
Fans have taken to social media to criticize Eilish’s ticket prices as “ridiculous” amid the cost of living crisis.
“I love Billie, but there’s no way these tickets cost that much. I paid less for permanent tickets on the Eras Tour and that’s at Wembley,” wrote one user on X, referring to Taylor Swift’s recent world tour.

‘I know I complain about this all the time, but look at the price of Billie Eilish tickets! Something seriously needs to be done about ticket prices, it’s fucking outrageous!’ another moaned.
‘£145 for a tour of an album from which he hasn’t even released a single. It is never a promising sign. Concerts are becoming inaccessible,” another agreed.
