Billie Eilish fans have expressed outrage over ticket prices for her upcoming world tour.

The Bad Guy singer’s new tour prices have been dubbed ‘outrageous’ after she unveiled her new 81-date tour programme this week.

The tour is geared to support 22-year-old Billie’s upcoming album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, which is dropping on May 17.

While fans expressed excitement over the news she would be playing so many tour dates across North America, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, many were also dismayed by the listed ticket prices.

General admission standing tickets at Billie’s UK concerts will cost £150, which many argued was too much given the current global cost of living crisis.

‘I love Billie but there’s no way these tickets should cost this much,’ fan Lyss wrote on X, adding tickets for Taylor Swift’s most recent world tour had been cheaper.

‘I paid less for standing tickets at the Eras Tour and that’s at Wembley.’

‘£145 for Billie Eilish tickets – does she not know there’s a cost of living [crisis] happening in the UK?’ questioned fan Zoe.

‘I know I moan about this all the time, but look at the price of Billie Eilish tickets,’ another British fan, Marianne, wrote while screenshotting seated tickets at £398.50. ‘Something seriously needs to be done about ticket prices, it’s f**king outrageous!’.

As another fan called the cost ‘crazy’, Susan Adams responded: ‘Imagine you paid £400 and then all the tall people stood at the front!’

‘Thing is, these aren’t even the [fire] tickets,’ added Marianne. ‘Like ok if you want to be seated I guess, but I genuinely paid (slightly) less for VIP tickets to Beyoncé last year and those were outrageous prices anaw!

‘It’s going to honestly be something only rich people can do and that’s so f**ked!

Billie’s American fans were equally aghast.

‘THE MINIMUM PRICE FOR BILLIE ELISH’S SHOW IN MINNEAPOLIS IS $141???’ wrote one disgruntled US fan.

The outspoken singer recently grabbed headlines for discussing her masturbation habits in great detail, calling it an ‘enormous, enormous part of her life’.

The What Was I Made For hitmaker opened up about how masturbating has been a ‘huge, huge help’ in overcoming lifelong ‘extreme body issues and dysmorphia’ as she encouraged more people to ‘jerk it’.

And performing the act in front of the mirror is an important part of the process.

‘Partly because it’s hot,’ she told Rolling Stone. ‘But it also makes me have such a raw, deep connection to myself and my body, and have a love for my body that I have not really ever had.

‘I got to say, looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking ‘I look really good right now’ is so helpful. You can manufacture the situation you’re in to make sure you look good.’

The star also shared her top tips for making the most out of a self-reflective pleasure session from adjusting the lighting, and choosing specific outfits and positions that are ‘more flattering’.

‘I have learned that looking at myself and watching myself feel pleasure has been an extreme help in loving myself and accepting myself, and feeling empowered and comfortable,’ she added.

The singer came out during an interview with Variety last year after being asked about her sexuality, but later went onto slam the publication for ‘outing’ her, adding she ‘likes boys and girls leave me alone about it please literally who cares’.
