Billie Eilish is set to appear at London’s O2 Arena for a six-night residency in 2025, but the “Bad Guy” singer is struggling to sell out her stay at the venue, with fans saying high ticket prices are to blame.
While Eilish’s 2019 “Where Do We Go?” tour sold-out across the globe, numerous seats still remain available at the 20,000-seat venue on her UK leg of the ongoing “Hit Me Hard and Soft” tour on the AXS website — the O2’s official ticket partner. Standing tickets start at £145 [$187], followed by lower-tier seats priced at £388 [$505] each.
Fans took to social media to express their frustration, blasting The O2 and Eilish for the high prices:
I’m glad Billie Eilish can’t sell out or even marginally fill any of her three dates at the O2 arena because the only way we will get cheaper ticket prices is by not buying hugely overpriced tickets. £234 being the cheapest ticket is ridiculous

It’s disgusting actually I would love to see Billie but those tickets prices stopped me in my tracks!!! doesn’t feel like that long ago I paid £25 to see Gaga at the O2, what the hell has happened

I assumed people were exaggerating when they said starting prices for Billie Eilish’s UK tour was £250. Unreal especially considering that for another £100 you could have seen her headline @glastonbury plus seen 100s of other acts the other year. pic.twitter.com/QDrNoc1B6I

baffled at how a standing ticket for billie eilish’s tour next year at the o2 is £250.50 for a standing ticket and that’s at face value as well 🤯 pic.twitter.com/oGbSXChb9S

£234 the cheapest priced ticket to see Billie Eilish at the O2. Fatcat corps rinsing the fans priced out by this and it’s getting out of hand. Rich people are making lots of money from fans.
There’s a new government now, what are you gonna do @UKLabour ? https://t.co/fK3iYGKh7u

Billie Eilish charging £250 for the cheapest standing ticket at the O2 for THREE NIGHTS is absolutely disgusting.

Concert tickets should be capped by venues, Billie Eilish would be still making a massive profit at the o2 for £60-70 a ticket. It’s greedy from all artists that exploit their own fans for more than that. Morally it’s wrong to charge people the amount she’s charging.

This frustration isn’t new; when tickets first went on sale for the tour, fans lashed out at the alarming prices, with many saying they felt “priced out.” Live Nation Entertainment announced they would be restricting tickets from transfer, and limit resale to Ticketmaster’s system, with prices locked at “face value.”
Unfortunately for Eilish and her team, that “face value” figure seems to have overshot what people are willing to pay, thus far. In many instances, the cheapest seat in the arena on this tour is showing a “face value” after fees that is higher than the average upper level ticket sold for on secondary ticket marketplaces during the singer’s last tour – just two years ago.
Her cheapest tickets in some venues came out to over $200. As seats inched closer to the stage, prices rose to staggering numbers. for the front rows of the lower level in multiple locations, available tickets were marked as “standard admission” but surged to as much as $600 including fees.
Amid the shows at the O2, Eilish is also set to appear in Glasgow for two gigs, as well as four shows in Manchester. Eilish’s full list of upcoming tour dates, as well as various ticketing options, can be found below:
