Overview

  • Face-value tickets for North American dates sold out quickly after heavy Ticketmaster queues left many fans unable to buy at primary prices.
  • Remaining inventory is largely listed on secondary platforms, with Ticketmaster resale, StubHub, SeatGeek and TickPick showing significant premiums.
  • Grande told fans on Instagram that she is "on the phone every second" pursuing a solution to get more tickets into fans' hands, calling the situation "not right."
  • Fans shared screenshots of extreme asking prices, including listings above $2,500, and alleged that resellers controlled large blocks of seats.
  • The Eternal Sunshine Tour spans 36 shows from June 6, 2026 in Oakland to Aug. 6, 2026 in London, with additional dates added in response to demand.
