Olivia Rodrigo fans hoping to grab a last-minute ticket to her sold-out shows in Ireland have been left disappointed as tickets are being advertised online at extortionate prices.
Some suspected ticket touts are even attempting to flog the tickets for up to eight times the original sale price.
Thousands of Irish fans will flock to see the 19-year-old pop sensation when she plays two Irish dates of her ‘Sour’ Tour this week.

The 'good 4 u' hitmaker will take to the stage at Live at the Marquee in Cork on Wednesday, June 29, and Fairview Park in Dublin on Thursday, June 30.
Tickets for both concerts were originally priced at €49.90 and sold out within minutes when they went on sale in December.
Apparent scalpers are now advertising tickets for the two concerts on resale sites such as Done Deal and Adverts.ie at hugely inflated prices.
On Tuesday evening there were ads for Olivia Rodrigo tickets up on DoneDeal priced between €120 to €180, which is two and three times the original sale price.
One ticket was previously advertised on Adverts.ie at €400 - eight times the face value.
This comes despite anti-ticket touting legislation coming into effect last summer meaning touts face fines of up to €100,000 or up to two years in prison if they sell tickets above the original sale price.
As both gigs are taking place at designated venues, registered under the Sale of Tickets Act 2021, they fall under the legislation meaning it is illegal to resell tickets for these gigs above the original sale price.
The new law came into force on July 31 last year and is intended to protect ticket buyers from touts seeking to make a profit from reselling tickets at inflated prices.
The Irish Mirror have contacted Done Deal for comment.
