Olivia Rodrigo is going on tour soon, and fans are already complaining about not receiving pre-sale codes from Ticketmaster for the "GUTS" world tour.
According to Buzzing Pop, a news account on X (formerly known as Twitter), the ticketing giant is having a hard time meeting the fans' demands.
"Despite adding 20 more dates to better meet demand, there are still far more registered fans than tickets available," Ticketmaster's statement read.
The "GUTS" world tour will be the "Vampire" singer's second tour after 2022's "Sour" tour, which was in support of her debut album with the same title.
Fans were both astounded and proud to know that Rodrigo's career is picking up even more following the release of her sophomore album.
"After the 'Sour' tour, are we really surprised?" A fan wrote.
"Abolish Ticketmaster."
Ticketmaster Messed Up Again?
Many fans complained that they did not receive any pre-sale emails from Ticketmaster; however, some noted that they did receive an email, but were waitlisted.
"Ticketmaster is so Sabrina 'cause 'emails i cant send,'" one joked, referring to Sabrina Carpenter's EP.
"I think mostly are waitlisted already. I won't be shocked if those rich celebs already got tickets!" Another added.
This is not the first time Rodrigo's tour has received wild reception from fans-and encountered issues. Following the announcement of her first tour, tickets were sold out within minutes due to scalpers.
The new setup with Ticketmaster must be to prevent scalpers from buying tickets and reselling them on secondhand sites for thousands of dollars.
Fans are even more on edge with Ticketmaster handling the ticket sales, especially after the fiasco that went down during Taylor Swift's "The Eras" tour for the first North American leg.
Olivia Rodrigo's 'GUTS' World Tour
The "GUTS" world tour is in support of Rodrigo's recently released album of the same name. "GUTS" has officially become the singer's second No. 1 album, following the footsteps of its predecessor "Sour" two years ago.
"I made the bulk of this album during my 19th year on this earth, a year that, for me, was filled with lots of confusion, mistakes, awkwardness and good old-fashioned teen angst," Rodrigo wrote.
"I cannot express how excited I am to embark on this new chapter of my life with you guys."
For now, Rodrigo will be touring in North America, with shows in Palm Springs, Phoenix, Austin, New Orleans, Miami, Nashville, Milwaukee, New York, Portland, Los Angeles, and more.
She also announced the European leg of the tour; she will be performing in some of the continent's largest, most prominent cities like Paris, Glasgow, Zurich, Cologne, Lisbon, Berlin, and more.
