Billie Eilish's Australian tour has sparked a unique trend, with desperate fans offering hundreds of dollars for people to wait in line for her concerts. The 23-year-old pop superstar's shows have been selling out quickly, and fans are willing to pay extra to secure prime spots. Some fans have taken to online outsourcing platforms like Airtasker to find people willing to wait in line for them, with offers ranging from $65 to $200 for a few hours of waiting.

The trend has been observed in cities like Sydney and Melbourne, where fans have been camping out and lining up outside venues for days to secure a good spot. Photos and videos have emerged showing fans armed with tents, camping chairs, and umbrellas, waiting patiently for the doors to open. However, not all fans are willing or able to wait in line for hours, which is where the line waiting services come in. These services allow fans to pay someone to wait in line for them, ensuring they get a good spot without having to spend hours waiting.

Billie Eilish's tour has been making headlines for its high-energy performances and environmental initiatives. The singer has partnered with the nonprofit organization REVERB to reduce her tour's carbon footprint and promote sustainability. Fans are encouraged to bring reusable water bottles and refill them at the venue, and to opt for thrifted or upcycled clothing instead of buying new. The tour's setlist features a mix of old and new songs, including hits like "Bad Guy" and "Lunch".

In addition to the line waiting services, fans can also expect a range of activities and initiatives at the venues. The Billie Eilish REVERB Eco-Village will be set up at the Qudos Bank Arena, where fans can learn about sustainability and take part in eco-friendly activities. The venue will also have free water refill stations and a range of food and drink options. Fans are advised to arrive early and allow plenty of time to get to their seats, as the venue can get congested. The support act for the tour is Ashnikko, a rapper and singer known for her genre-bending music and energetic live performances.

Some of the key details for Billie Eilish's Sydney shows include:

  • Dates: February 24, 25, 27, and 28
  • Venue: Qudos Bank Arena
  • Support act: Ashnikko
  • Doors open: 5pm
  • Show starts: 7pm (support act), 9pm (Billie Eilish)
Fans can expect a high-energy show with a mix of old and new songs, as well as a range of activities and initiatives promoting sustainability and environmental awareness. With the tour's focus on sustainability and reducing waste, fans can feel good about attending a concert that is not only entertaining but also eco-friendly.
