Background
Olivia Rodrigo's second studio album Guts was released on September 8, 2023. The album was announced and its cover art was revealed on June 26, 2023, before the release of the album's lead single "Vampire", and preordering for the album began the same day. The album's track listing was teased on July 31, 2023, leading fans to search for clues, and the following day, Rodrigo revealed the titles of the album's twelve tracks. On September 7, 2023, she released a trailer for Guts on YouTube, wherein the titles of the album's four bonus tracks were revealed. Furthermore, three singles were released in promotion of Guts in 2023: "Vampire", released June 30, "Bad Idea Right?", released August 11, and "Get Him Back!", released September 15.
Prior to the official announcement of the tour, it was teased by both Rodrigo and the arenas she is set to perform at via social media. The Guts World Tour is Rodrigo's second concert tour and debut arena tour, and follows her debut tour, the Sour Tour, which she embarked on throughout 2022 in support of her debut studio album, Sour (2021). Rodrigo announced the first set of tour dates on September 13, 2023, on her social media platforms, with shows in various different cities across the United States, Canada, and Europe. On September 15, 2023, Rodrigo announced 18 additional dates across North America and Europe due to "overwhelming demand". On September 19, 2023, a second date was announced for Lisbon and Antwerp due to "incredible demand", as well as a venue upgrade for the Oslo show.
Before its commencement, Rodrigo performed Guts in an exclusive concert at Los Angeles Theatre at Ace Hotel on October 9, 2023, from which all proceeds from ticket sales went to her Fund 4 Good nonprofit organization. The concert was streamed a day later on Rodrigo's official YouTube channel, including stories behind the composition of the album.
Ticketing
Alongside the announcement of the tour, it was revealed that a public on-sale would initially not happen. Fans could register for a chance to buy tickets until September 17, 2023, at 10 p.m. ET one of two ways: through Ticketmaster, to get access to the sale on September 21, 2023, or through American Express's Early Access, to get access to the presale on September 20, 2023; however, access to the latter was limited to American Express Card Members only.
In addition, all the cities in the North American leg of the tour featured the "Silver Star Tickets" option, which consisted of a limited number of tickets available for $20 to the shows and that could only be purchased for two in pairs per purchase order. This program stated that concertgoers with these admissions would be seated next to each other, in order to "make it as easy and affordable as possible for her fans to make it out to her shows".
Ticketmaster deemed the demand as "massive", notifying that "there are still more fans who registered than there are tickets available". In light of this, the company has implemented new policies to combat reselling, such as delivery delays of purchased tickets 72 hours before the concert only electronically available.
