All Australian dates are currently SOLD OUT. A few more tickets may be released to registered fans at a later date.

Only registered fans drawn in the ballot could buy, from 9am local time on Tuesday 15 September. By 4pm Frontier Touring, the promoter, said one Sydney show had gone and two more were limited, along with all six Melbourne nights and one of the four in Perth. Official resale, only through the authorised agencies and capped at face value plus permitted fees, opens a month before each city's shows.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported fans thrown out of the queue before they could choose, and others after picking their seats. The “best possible” seat option stalled, PayPal and Apple Pay payments failed and some cards were declined. Some users of AXS, which sold Melbourne, were told they could not reach its queue. Each buyer was allowed four tickets for one city, yet some said they were offered four tickets to each of several shows.
