Attention all teens and twenty-something teens: it's time to spill your guts. Olivia Rodrigo has finally announced her GUTS World Tour (!!!), and that means it's time to fight for your life so you don't get buried alive in the wretched Ticketmaster queue. It also means we get a chance to listen to this beautiful album—that Rolling Stone declared a 100 percent perfect instant classic—live.
Olivia is one of the only artists I'd go through this painful process for. (I managed to snag pit tickets for Sour Tour while shaking and sucking down espresso in my university's library during finals week, so I'm confident I can do it again). Can you imagine screaming with Olivia to "All American Bitch"?? A necessity.
The GUTS Tour will start on February 23 in Palm Springs, California and finish in Los Angeles on August 14. Olivia will perform 57 shows all around the world, with special guests The Breeders, PinkPantheress, Chappell Roan, and Remi Wolf.
If you're prepared to set 50 alarms, lose 9 hours of sleep, and stress until you wither away into nothing to get tix, here's everything you need to know in order to secure your spot at the GUTS Tour.

Before we begin, make sure to actually register for GUTS tickets
Due to the wildly high demand (and bots, ugh), you need to register and be approved in order to buy tickets. If you don't get approved, you'll get placed on a waitlist.
Registration closes on Sunday, September 17, at 10 p.m. ET, so you don't have much longer. On Wednesday, September 20, those selected will be emailed a link and access code. You can also register for early access if you're paying with an American Express credit card, and you'll receive the approval email on Tuesday, September 19. The link to register is here.
Then mark your cal for when GUTS Tour tickets go on sale
Ticket sales for the American Express Early Access will take place on Wednesday, September 20, and the regular registered ticket sale will be the next day on Thursday, September 21.
Tickets are available on a first-come, first serve basis, so nobody is guaranteed tickets, even after registering and being approved.
How much will GUTS Tour tickets cost? Well....
According to Ticketmaster, standard tickets will be anywhere from $49.50-$199.50, plus taxes and fees. There will also be a limited amount of Charity Platinum and VIP packages where some of the proceeds will be donated to Olivia's Fund 4 Good organization, so those tickets will probably be a bit pricier.
Some handy tips and tricks to help score GUTS Tour tickets
You know I'm always happy to share my wisdom with you guys (but don't tell anybody else 🤫). Follow me right this way.
Make sure to update your Ticketmaster account beforehand
To make sure everything runs as quickly and smoothly as possible, it's a good idea to add all the crucial stuff to your account now, like your card info. That way you can click "add to cart" and buy tickets without anxiously typing in the moment and risking a typo. Truly a nightmare.
Get online early
I'm talking, like, a little over half an hour early. The Ticketmaster waiting room opens 30 minutes early, so you should already be prepared to log in and do your thing.
Move fast, duh!
It is every girlie for herself in the Ticketmaster queue, so there's literally no time to stress. Take a look at the seating map ahead of time and have an idea of what seats you'd like, but also be prepared for those seats to be sold out by the time you get your pick. No matter where you sit, it's definitely going to be an *amazing* show.
Don't buy more than three tickets
I'm sure you and the group chat all want to go to GUTS Tour together, but you shouldn't purchase everyone's ticket together. The more tickets you try buying, the more difficult of a time you're going to have, so it's best to aim for getting 1-3.
If you can't snag tickets, sprint to resale sites
The stars don't always align when you're trying to score concert tickets, it's a fact of life. If you're finding everything sold out, sprint over to the resale sites to check prices before they skyrocket. Good luck!
