Tickets

Official outlets and resale platforms like Ticketek Marketplace have a small amount of tickets left so fans are encouraged to get in quick.

The box office will open from 4.30pm each day if tickets are still available for purchase.

Camping and queues

Hundreds of Billie Eilish superfans have camped overnight outside the Brisbane Entertainment Centre (BEC), defying warnings from officials.

Despite electronic billboards flashing “NO CAMPING ALLOWED” after Tuesday night’s opener and security actively moving people off the property, determined fans on Wednesday still pitched tents at the nearby train station and surrounding public areas, eager to secure prime spots inside the venue.

Among them was Logan local Jared Barton, who arrived at 9.05pm on Tuesday – before the previous night’s show had even finished – and endured a sleepless night just to maintain his place in line.

“I’ve been here since 9.05pm, and we didn’t sleep at all last night,” he said.

“Forty minutes of sleep and seven energy drinks are keeping me going right now. We just chilled out all night with the other fans and listened to some Billie on my portable speaker. Then we started lining up at 2am.”

Clementine Barker and Becky Purt travelled all the way from the Atherton Tablelands.

BEC officials have reiterated that camping is not permitted on venue grounds, but it appears this has done little to deter Eilish’s most dedicated followers.

With approximately 300 people camping out overnight at Boondall Station

for Wednesday’s concert, security reportedly spent the night enforcing the no-camping rule, directing fans away if they attempted to set up tents or sleep on BEC property.

However, many returned in the early hours to line up.

Superfans Clementine Barker and Becky Purt travelled all the way from the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland, arriving in Brisbane early Wednesday on morning.

“It’s been a bit of a hike, but anything for Billie,” Ms Purt said.

Concert tickets include free travel on Queensland Rail City Network trains (excluding Airtrain) and Transport for Brisbane buses to and from Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
