Dua Lipa fans are left furious as they attempt to buy tickets for her Radical Optimism world tour
Dua Lipa fans were left furious on Wednesday after trying to get tickets for her upcoming Radical Optimism tour.
The 29-year-old singer will tour the world with her new show, starting in November in Singapore and lasting until October 2025.
Dua shared her excitement on Instagram: ‘WUUUURLTOOOOUR IS NOW ON SALE!!! + we added a few more shows for you guys during pre-sale! So excited…I CAN POP!’ (sic).
However, fans have once again fallen victim to Ticketmaster’s problems, with long queues and the website crashing before ticket sales were complete.
The ticket prices for the British star have also been a thorn in the side of fans and resale prices for tickets are again extremely high.

The 29-year-old singer will tour the world with her new show, which will kick off in Singapore in November and run until October 2025.
Fans of Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, expressed their frustration, describing the process of getting tickets as “something like a Hunger Games fight.”
‘No Dua tickets again, then we might as well leave this country as getting concert tickets is comparable to a Hunger Games battle’.
‘I’m one of 10 Dua Lipa fans, I couldn’t get presale tickets yesterday and today. General sale has been going on for 10 minutes and EVERY ticket is a resale ticket over $300… you guys need help @ticketmaster’.
‘Twice I have purchased tickets for Dua Lipa and twice after the payment was approved I get past the final loading screen and am told to select new tickets because they are not available. Ticketmaster you are going to collapse’.
‘It’s impossible to get tickets in Madrid, three days trying to buy and nothing!!!! Do something for us’
‘I got the @DUALIPA presale when it started with over 16,000 people ahead of me. I didn’t buy the tickets and there are already hundreds of tickets on the resale platforms, all before general ticket sales start.
“This is a broken system. As a music lover, I am disheartened.”
The Grammy Award winner will perform a total of 68 concerts and has already promised that more dates will be announced in the future.

For her UK performances she will perform two nights in Liverpool and two in London before travelling to Ireland and Europe.
Before the tour kicks off in Asia, Dua will perform at Austin City Limits in Austin, Texas on October 5 and 12.
A source told The Sun: ‘[Dua’s] The last tour was almost sold out, but it was an arena tour. The fact that she is now also doing stadiums is great, especially since she is only working on her third album.
Earlier this year, Dua spoke to Zane Lowe about her newfound confidence, ahead of the release of Radical Optimism.
She recalled: ‘I’m finally at a point in my career where I feel really confident. It’s taken me so long to get to this point.
‘We’re doing the tell-all. This is the first time I’m talking about anything, the album title, the record, the songs individually.
She admits to Zane that writing songs is also a form of therapy for her: ‘Writing these songs, it’s a form of therapy for me.
‘It’s just very vulnerable to write your thoughts down in a melody and then have it consumed by other people.

The pop icon also revealed that she knew what the title of her album would be from the beginning.
“I knew the title for ‘Radical Optimism.’ It was a term my friend told me, I did an interview with him, and he said something like, ‘You know what the world needs? Radical optimism.’
“And I lived with that thought for so long, and as time went on, it became more and more important.”
