Once registration closes, fans will be selected randomly to receive a code granting them access to the sales on Sept. 20-21. Standard tickets will range from $49.50 to $199.50 plus taxes and applicable fees.
Additional ticket options for the tour will include VIP packages and the Silver Star program, which will release a limited number of tickets for $20 each at a later date.
At 20, Rodrigo is the youngest artist in Billboard Hot 100 history to debut three hits at No. 1 – 2021’s “good 4 u” and “drivers license,” as well as her recent summer single, “vampire.” All 11 tracks from her 2021 album, “Sour,” ranked in top 30 of Billboard’s Hot 100, making Rodrigo the first female artist to simultaneously chart 11 or more songs in the top 30. Her latest studio album, "Guts," was released on Sept. 8 and is hailed by USA Today as a "no-skip album."
