Some Billie Eilish fans believe tickets for her upcoming concerts have been overpriced. The pop star will tour the world in support of her upcoming album Hit Me Hard and Soft, which is due out on Friday, May 17.

General admission standing tickets to her U.K. shows start at £150, which many fans believe is too much. They weren't shy about sharing their grievances on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

'I love Billie but there’s no way these tickets should cost this much,' one fan said.

"Not seeing billie bc ticket prices are insane," one person said.

Another said the prices for Eilish's shows make Taylor Swift tickets seem affordable.

"I love billie but there’s no way these tickets should cost this much," they said. "I paid less for standing tickets at the eras tour and that’s at wembley."

A different commenter noted that the high ticket prices are part of a broader trend.

"I know I moan about this allll the time, but look at the price of Billie Eilish tickets! Something seriously needs to be done about ticket prices, it’s f--king outrageous!" they said.

Eilish apparently agrees. She recently signed on to an open letter supporting ticketing reform in the U.S. Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and Lorde supported the note, as well.

"We are joining together to say that the current system is broken," they said. "Predatory resellers and secondary platforms engage in deceptive ticketing practices to inflate ticket prices and deprive fans of the chance to see their favorite artists at a fair price."

There's been less hand-wringing about ticket prices for Eilish's U.S. shows. They vary by venue, but tickets for the Nov. 8 concert at the Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati will start at just under $60.

But Eilish and Live Nation are taking measures to ensure most North American fans can access tickets at a relatively affordable price through the Face Value Exchange program

"If fans purchase tickets for a show in the U.S. or Canada and can't attend, they'll have the option to resell them to other fans at the original price paid," a press release says.

"To help protect the Exchange, the tour has requested all tickets be mobile only and restricted from transfer. This applies to all shows except those in Colorado, Illinois, and New York where Face Value Exchange cannot be mandated."

There appears to be less hand-wringing about ticket prices in the singer's home country.
