Okay, so let me tell you about trying to snag tickets to Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour at the Chase Center. It was a whole ordeal, but I finally managed to get them!
It all started when the tour dates dropped. I saw “Chase Center” and immediately knew I had to be there. Olivia’s music is just, ugh, everything. First thing I did was sign up for the Ticketmaster Verified Fan thing. Heard it gives you a slightly better chance, and honestly, at this point, I was willing to try anything.

Then came the agonizing wait to see if I even got a presale code. I was refreshing my email like a maniac for days. Finally, the email arrived! I actually got a code. I almost screamed at work.
The day of the presale was… intense. I set alarms, had multiple devices ready, the whole shebang. When the clock struck the time, I jumped on Ticketmaster. The website was lagging, of course. It felt like everyone in the world was trying to get tickets at the same time.
I kept getting error messages, the “waiting room” thing popped up like a million times. My heart was pounding. I thought for sure I was going to miss out. But I just kept refreshing and trying different sections.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I got through! I saw some tickets pop up in the upper level. Not the best seats, but hey, I was in! I clicked those babies so fast, added them to my cart, and checked out before Ticketmaster could change its mind.
The checkout process was another stressful moment. More loading screens, more anxiety. But I finally got the confirmation. VICTORY! I secured two tickets. I was so relieved, I literally did a little dance in my kitchen.
Now, the seats aren’t exactly front row, but I’m just stoked to be there. Upper level, here I come! I’m already planning my outfit and practicing all the lyrics. It’s gonna be epic.
So, yeah, that’s the story of how I survived the Ticketmaster Hunger Games and got to see Olivia Rodrigo at the Chase Center. It was a wild ride, but totally worth it. See you there!
