The devastation comes after the pop singer issued a statement following the US leg selling out within just minutes. It left legions of heartbroken fans grappling for resold tickets going for astronomical prices.
In the wake of the carnage, Ariana took to social media to share her input. Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “Hi my angels, I have been on set all week but I wanted to let you know that what’s been happening with the secondary ticket resellers has been brought to my attention and of course I am incredibly bothered by it.
“I’ve been on the phone every second of my free time fighting for a solution. I hear you and hopefully, we will be able to get more of these tickets into your hands instead of theirs.
“It’s not right. I just wanted you to know that my team and I see it and that I care very much and we will do, and are doing everything we can. I love you all so much and thank you for your patience and understanding.”
It’s been six years since Ariana’s last tour, 2019 Sweetener World Tour. At the time, over over 1.3 million fans poured into venues across almost 100 shows.
According to posts across X and TikTok, more than one million people have attempted to secure tickets to her 2026 tour, which will also see the star touch down in London for a five-night finale.
