  For presale information and timings for specific tour dates see above.

  Log into your Ticketmaster account and update your password if needed!

  Get in early and ensure all your MyTicketmaster account details are up to date – from your password to your card details and your phone number.

  Ticketmaster will regularly ask you to update your password to ensure the security of your account – you don’t want to get stuck having to change your password while the ticket timer is counting down during onsale as you can risk losing the incredible tickets you have secured.

  Get to know Ticketmaster’s Smart Queue

  If you aren’t familiar with Smart Queue, it is Ticketmaster’s way of creating a clear and fair process for thousands of fans to buy tickets in a short space of time. Fans enter the virtual Waiting Room prior to onsale time before joining the Smart Queue – which acts as a ‘virtual line’, helping us protect you and your tickets in a more effective way.

  The time you join the Waiting Room does not determine your place in the Smart Queue, so we recommend joining at least 10 minutes prior to the event going on sale.

  When the sale begins, the Smart Queue will open and everyone in the Waiting Room is given a place in line. Those who did not join the Waiting Room will be placed at the end of the line.

  • Sign in to your Ticketmaster account at least 10 minutes before joining the Waiting Room. This will speed up your purchase later.
  • Confirm you have a valid form of payment in your account with current email and billing information. This will make checkout a breeze.
  • Resist the urge to refresh. Your page will automatically refresh when you enter the Smart Queue.
  • Keep an eye on the time! When it’s your turn, your spot will be held for 10 minutes to begin shopping.
  • Just like before, tickets are always based on availability, demand, and are not guaranteed.

  Find out more about Ticketmaster’s Waiting Room and Smart Queue here

They give fans fair and safe access to the most sought after areas in the venue at market-driven prices (adjusting prices according to supply and demand). In Demand tickets are ticket-only purchases, and prices are subject to change at any time.

  A collector ticket is a souvenir, 3D-style ticket which not only gets you into the event, it also serves as a treasured keepsake to be kept well after the festival is over.

  Hints and tips for improving your chances of getting Harry Styles tickets

  Make sure you have a My Ticketmaster account

  Get the basics covered before tickets go on sale by logging in and checking your Ticketmaster account ahead of time. If you don’t have a Ticketmaster Account then make sure you sign up in advance – Ticketmaster.com.au.

  Sign in to your My Ticketmaster account ahead of time

  Remember to triple check your passwords, account information, and billing information are all filled in correctly in advance, that way you’re not facing any last-minute account updates when trying to process your order.

  Keep your options open with ‘Best Available’

  Save time by searching “Best Available,” which scans all sections fast – it’s quicker than searching sections one at a time.

  Keep an eye on the clock

  There will be a time limit applied to all transactions as they’re progressed through the ticket purchasing stages. Remember to keep an eye on the timer on your screen and move through the processing pages as quickly as possible (this is even easier when you’ve completed the account set-up stage we mentioned above).

  Don’t refresh your screen

  Stick to one window while you’re in the Waiting Room and when you’re being pushed through the Smart Queue and always resist the urge to refresh.

  Hitting the refresh button means you’ll lose your place in the queue and, as frustrating as it can get, patience is the only way to win this game. Ticketmaster is equipped with sophisticated systems that are designed to manage and process ticket purchases as quickly as possible. The queuing system that appears on your screen will place you at the front of the line as soon as possible.

  Remember: there are a lot of fans

  We’re expecting this to be a very popular event. When a popular event goes on sale there are hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of customers all attempting to purchase tickets at the same time. Tickets are sold as long as seats are available, and when an act is as popular as Harry Styles, sometimes they go very quickly.

  Be sure to follow the above tips to ensure you have the best chance of snapping up some tickets.

  Harry Styles will bring his ‘Love On Tour’ world tour to venues around Australia and New Zealand in February and March 2023. Tickets are on sale via Ticketmaster.com.au.

  Upon arrival at the show, you will then be required to present your mobile/smartphone device containing your ticket(s), and you’ll scan yourself and your party into the venue via the turnstiles/entrances.

The whole party must arrive at the same time as the person with the mobile/smartphone device containing all the tickets.

  Please note: Any and all transactions that are detected as bot purchases, patrons creating duplicate accounts in order to purchase more than the ticket limit or any action that indicates a suspicious purchase in excess of the ticket limit will be cancelled.

  You will have to try to complete another order with another mobile device.

   

  Can I buy Ed Sheeran tickets as a gift?

  The matching ID of the surname of the lead booker will be an entry requirement. The other tickets bought by that person can be used for other people as long as they ALL arrive with the lead booker. If you want to buy tickets as gifts then you’ll also have to attend to get your recipients into the show.

   

  What are the age restrictions?

  All venue age restrictions are clearly displayed on the sales pages on the website.

  This is a licensed, loud music event, staged over a long time and we do not recommend attendance by children aged 5 years and under. Children 14 and under must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times and have purchased a valid ticket.  No concession tickets will be available for children, they must have a ticket.

  In the unlikely event, you are looking to purchase tickets on behalf of 15-18 year olds who do not have access to a smartphone we recommend that you attend the show with the group.

   

  What are the entry requirements?

  To gain access to the concert you are required to bring your fully charged mobile phone or smartphone. You may be required to produce your email booking confirmation and a valid form of photo ID that matches the name on the confirmation.

  Are cameras allowed?

  Professional cameras (deemed as cameras with removable lenses), video and recording equipment are strictly forbidden. Personal use cameras and smartphone cameras are fine.

   

  How early should we turn up?

  Check the website for door opening times and do allow yourself plenty of time to get in before the start of the show.

   

  What if I can’t get in with my tickets – it failed to scan and I’ve been turned away at the turnstile?

  Don’t worry, we can try and help you. In the first instance, head to the box office where someone will be able to help you work out what’s gone wrong. Remember DO NOT buy a ticket from someone you don’t know either in person on the street OR from an unauthorised secondary ticket website.

   

  I can’t go any more and need to sell on my ticket. What do I do?

  For information on how to sell your tickets through our resale platform, click here: https://shops.ticketmasterpartners.com/resale

   

  What is unethical secondary tickets and ticket resale?

  Unethical secondary ticketing is when people buy tickets at face value and then resell them at inflated prices via non-artist approved methods and websites, thus denying real fans the chance to buy at face value.

  Ticket touts and unauthorized resellers use multiple payment cards, false identities and sophisticated computer programmes (“bots”) to buy up large amounts of tickets which they then offer for resale at highly inflated prices.

   

  What else are you doing to combat the secondary market?

  Your mobile phone number is linked to your ticket order. Your tickets are linked to both your account with your chosen ticket agent AND you mobile phone number. This means your ticket and the individual information you gave when you purchased are linked. If a ticket is resold in any method other than via official face-value resale channels then the mobile phone number will not be linked to the ticket(s) and you will be refused entry to the venue.

  CAN I GET A REFUND OR EXCHANGE MY TICKETS FOR ANOTHER DATE ONCE I PURCHASE MY TICKETS?

  As with all ticket purchases, we recommend that you check/confirm dates and times of the performance you intend to purchase before completing the checkout on Ticketmaster as we cannot exchange or refund tickets once they are confirmed. There are no refunds or exchanges on tickets once they are purchased if you change your mind or for personal reasons.

  WHY ARE THERE TICKETS ONLINE THAT ARE TWICE AS EXPENSIVE AS YOUR LISTED TICKET PRICES?

  If you search MARY POPPINS on the internet, you will likely find many re-sale sites advertising MARY POPPINS tickets at prices higher than those on our official site. Be aware of what website you are on before you make any purchase.

  Ticketmaster.com.au is the authorised ticket seller for MARY POPPINS at the Sydney Lyric Theatre.

  In NSW it is illegal to resell a ticket for more than 10% of the face value of the ticket. Please be aware the Sydney Lyric Theatre has no obligation to honour tickets purchased via unauthorised re-sellers, as these may be invalid tickets.  If you attend with a ticket purchased via an unauthorised re-seller such as Viagogo, eBay, Gumtree, or otherwise, you may be refused entry.

  WHAT IF A PERFORMANCE IS SOLD OUT?

  We anticipate demand will be high for MARY POPPINS tickets and recommend that customers book early for best availability. If the performance you wish to attend is sold out, we recommend the following:

  • Look further into the season for other performances.
  • Saturday matinees and evenings and Sunday matinees will be the performances that are highest in demand, so consider attending a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Sunday evening performance.
  • Continue to check back on sold-out performances in the event additional seats get released.
