Travis Scott’s upcoming Australian Circus Maximus shows are among the hottest tickets in town.
The 33-year-old American rapper is coming Down Under in a few months to play four epic shows in Australia, in what promises to be a popular event.
He will take to the stage for the first time on Thursday 17 and Friday 18 October at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney, before travelling to the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Tuesday 22 October.
The music producer concludes his energetic Australian tour on Saturday, October 26 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
Live Nation pre-sales opened on Wednesday 31 July, with general sale taking place on Friday 2 August at 12pm in Sydney and 2pm in Brisbane.
Fans are allowed to purchase a maximum of eight tickets per person. One avid TikToker has shared some valuable tips to ensure you don’t have to see Travis live.
Australian social media star Angela Jones, who runs the account theangelwearsgucci, posted a video explaining the best way to get tickets, leaving little to chance.
She passed on her insider knowledge of the Ticketek system, gained from years of buying tickets for her favourite artists, giving fans a foolproof guide to getting tickets.
Travis Scott’s four Circus Maximus shows in Australia in October are expected to be among the hottest tickets in the city (the rapper is pictured on stage in Italy on July 23)
She gave some key tips, from how far in advance to queue for Ticketek to where the best place in the arena to sit is for the best, unobstructed views.
“Here’s how to get your Travis Scott tickets this Friday during general sale for the Australia, Sydney and Melbourne shows,” she began in the extended video.
‘As someone who has worked with Ticketek’s old operating systems in the past and had major problems, I have to say that their brand new formula, which Ticketmaster follows, is much more productive. But these are the tips you need to follow if you want to get through Friday… or even now.’
She claimed that she already knew Travis’ pre-sale code and gave her a golden tip to get tickets in time for the coveted concerts.
She continued: ‘If you don’t have the Vodafone presale code, then the presale code for the artist, which is of course Travis Scott’s own fan presale code, is UTOPIA.
“It’s the exact same code for all of his shows around the world, honestly. I’m surprised a lot of people don’t know this.”
Angelica then explained where fans will be seated at Allianz Stadium in Sydney, pointing out which sections are the best: the C Reserve, B Reserve and $556 Golden VIP Package seats.

“I was very happy to get a reserve seat in a really good place,” she said.
“I recommend A reserve if you’re willing to spend the money and don’t want to get trampled in the mosh pit.”
Angelica then went on to elaborate on what to do when GA tickets go on sale in a few days, this Friday, responding to rumors that you can be queuing hours in advance.
“So this is the screen you’ll see from Ticketek,” she said, pointing to Travis Scott’s landing page on the site.
‘Sales start at the time stated…today it was 9am. The brand new system doesn’t allow you to come in hours earlier, which is very smart, because that’s how it’s supposed to happen. It opens 15 minutes before the official start time that’s on the website.
“This is exactly the same as Ticketmaster. I used this technique to get the best front row tickets to Harry Styles through Ticketmaster and I swear Jesus Christ himself blessed me,” she added.
The ticket inspector encourages fans to be ready and waiting 15 minutes before the start of the sale, adding that it is crucial not to refresh your browser once you are inside.
She added: ‘When the time comes, you will be automatically redirected to this page. If not, refresh the page, but do not refresh the page once you are here. [ticketing landing page] because it looks empty and at first you think it’s broken, but it’s not. You just have to wait a little bit and then the numbers appear.’
She said it’s also a good idea to have two devices ready in case one crashes at the last minute.
Travis will take to the stage at Allianz Stadium in Sydney on October 17 and 18, Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on October 22 and Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on October 26.
Angelica added that it’s also important to consider the size of the show and that some seats may obstruct the view of the action.
“Please be aware that Travis Scott’s stage production is huge and I believe some seats are blocked by screens and stereo speakers,” she said.
‘You know this because there is a disclaimer in your shopping cart that you have to check. It states that I accept the terms and conditions and that my seat has a restricted view, even if it is in a certain bay.’
Finally, Angelica added that the more tickets you try to buy, the less likely you are to succeed.
“I hope these tips help you and that I haven’t shot myself in the foot for future concerts,” she said.
