It will then return for a second lap of the US, with support from Pink Pantheress, and two final dates in LA with The Breeders. Eagle eyed readers will notice a handful of gaps in Rodrigo’s UK tour schedule, leaving plenty of room for additional surprise dates to spring up when demand is inevitably high. And indeed: “stay tuned for more dates coming soon!!!” the singer has hinted.Rodrigo last performed live in the UK last summer, playing a headline show at the capital’s Eventim Apollo, and appearing on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage for her debut at the festival. During the latter, she invited on none other than Lily Allen as a surprise guest; the pair performed Allen’s hit F**k You and dedicated it to the Supreme Court following their decision to overturn Roe Vs. Wade and constitutional abortion rights in the US.How do I get tickets for Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS tour?Fans keen to secure the goods will need to get organised, and register ahead of time using Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan system. To do this, head to Olivia Rodrigo’s official website, choose which territory you’re looking to attend shows in, and sign up from there.It’s worth being patient: the site was reportedly struggling to handle demand in the immediate aftermath of the tour being announced. The deadline for registering is September 17, at 7pm BST, and fans based in the UK can sign up one of two presales: the American Express® Early Access sale, or the Artist Registration Sale.Successfully signed-up fans will then enter a random ballot, with some of them getting access to a code on September 20. This will grant them access to a pre-sale the following day on September 21. Remaining registered fans will be placed on a waitlist.“Registration helps block bots, reduces resale and gets more tickets directly into the hands of fans who want to attend the show,” explains a statement on Rodrigo’s website. “Registration does not, however, guarantee that every fan will get access to the sale. We expect there will be more demand than there are tickets available. A limited number of randomly selected fans will get access to the sale, and others will be put on the waitlist. Getting access to the sale doesn’t guarantee tickets. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.”
