Dua Lipa fans have been left furious on Wednesday after they attempted to secure tickets for her upcoming Radical Optimism tour.
The singer, 29, is set to head around the world with her new show which will kick start in Singapore in November and running through to October 2025.
Taking to Instagram, Dua shared her excitement: ‘WUUUURLTOOOOUR IS ON SALE NOW!!! + we added some more shows for ya during the presale ! so happy…I COULD POP!’ (sic).
However, fans have once again fallen victim to Ticketmaster’s demand struggle as they became stuck in long queues and the site crashed before purchase of tickets was completed.
The British star’s ticket prices were also a big sting to fans and resale ticket prices have been put back on sale for extremely high values.

Taking to X – formerly known as Twitter – fans shared their frustration and described securing tickets ‘some kind of Hunger Games battle’.
‘no dua tickets once again might as well move out of this country if getting concert tickets is like some hunger games battle’.
‘I am one of 10 dua lipa fans, couldnt get presale tickets yesterday and today, 10 minutes into general sale, EVERY ticket is a resale ticket over $300…. you need help @ticketmaster’.
‘Twice I got tickets for Dua Lipa and twice after the payment was approved, I then get past the last loading screen and it tells me to select new tickets because they’re not available. Ticketmaster you will crumble’.
‘It’s impossible to get tickets in Madrid, three days trying to buying and nothing!!!! Dua do something for us’
‘Made it into the @DUALIPA presale when it started with over 16,000 people ahead of me. Didn’t get the tickets and there are now hundreds of tickets already on resale platforms, all before general ticket sales begin
‘This is a broken system As a music fan, I’m discouraged.’
The Grammy Award winner is set to take to the stage for 68 concerts and has already promised that more dates will be announced in the future.

For her UK gigs, she will perform two nights in Liverpool and two in London before heading to Ireland and Europe.
Prior to the tour kickoff in Asia, Dua will headline Austin City Limits in Austin, TX on October 5 and October 12.
It comes after a source told The Sun: ‘[Dua’s] last tour was as good as sold out, but it was an arena tour, to make the jump to stadiums is amazing, especially when she’s only on her third album’.
Earlier this year Dua discussed her newfound confidence as she spoke to Zane Lowe prior to the release of Radical Optimism.
She recalled: ‘Finally, I’m at a place in my career where I feel really confident. It took me so long to get to this place.
‘We’re doing the tell-all. This is my first time talking about anything, the album title, the record, the songs individually.
She goes on to admit to Zane that writing songs is also a form of therapy for her: ‘By writing these songs, it’s a form of therapy for me.
‘It’s just such a vulnerable thing to do, to write your thoughts down into melody, and then have it be consumed by other people.

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