Kylie Minogue fans left fuming as tour goes on sale with ‘£196’ tickets and pre-sale chaos
KYLIE Minogue fans have been left outraged as tickets for her ighly anticipated tour went on sale - with prices as high as £400.
Fans compared it to the fiasco of the Oasis pre-sale earlier this month which quickly descended into chaos.
Thousands missed out on pre-sale tickets for Kylie's upcoming UK tour after joining a queue on Ticketmaster.
They were hoping to nab tickets to see the pop icon, 56, who will kick off her Tension Tour early next year before reaching the UK in May.
But ticket pricing and pre-sale debacle has cast a shadow over the excitement.
One outraged fan said today: "The abysmal Kylie presale. Tickets right at the back or ones that are nearly £400. I don't fink so dorlin".

Another furious Kylie fan shared a screenshot of the Ticketmaster page which showed the only tickets left were VIP, priced at £386.50.
They wrote alongside the image: "Sure Kylie I’ll preorder the album to get presale access. 10am. 3000 in the queue. I’m next! Literally the seats on offer….no thanks".
One more moaned on X, formerly Twitter: "So glad I wasted time trying to buy Kylie tickets in the presale. What a sham!"
And a fourth chimed: "Not another @TicketmasterUK presale being an absolute shambles. #Kylie".
She will play nine UK arena dates across the country - including Newcastle, Sheffield, Nottingham and London.
The trek also includes two dates at London's famous O2 Arena.
It will be Kylie's first tour since her 2019 Golden Tour and her biggest since 2011.
Kylie said: “I am beyond excited to announce the Tension Tour 2025.
"I can’t wait to share beautiful and wild moments with fans all over the world, celebrating the Tension era and more.
"It’s been an exhilarating ride so far and now, get ready for your close up because I will be calling Lights, Camera, Action … and there will be a whole lot of Padaming!”
Kylie has also announced her seventeenth album - less than a year after her chart topping Tension.
