Many fans were left disappointed following the general sale last Friday for tickets for Lizzo's Olympia Theatre gig. Tickets were advertised 'from €39.50' for the concert, but some tickets were sold via Ticketmaster as platinum tickets, with a price tag of €140. The total price for a platinum ticket, with a service charge of €21, and a €2.50 handling fee was €163.50. The reason for the price disparity between regular and platinum tickets is, according to Ticketmaster, because platinum tickets are priced according to "supply and demand, similar to how airline tickets and hotel rooms are sold".
