Key takeaways
  • There are three on-sales, not one. Telstra Plus customers go first at 11am on Monday 21 September, an artist presale follows at 12pm on Wednesday 23 September, and the general on-sale is 1pm on Thursday 24 September. All three times are local to the venue you are buying for.
  • The artist presale needs a free registration with the promoter, Untitled Group, and the deadline is 11am on Thursday 24 September — two hours before the general on-sale, and a full day after the presale it lets you into has already opened.
  • Buying limits are not the same across the three. The Telstra presale is capped at four tickets per transaction; the artist presale and the general on-sale allow six. The earliest queue has the tightest limit.
  • Four shows in February 2027: Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Prices have not been published yet, and this page does not guess at them.

Calvin Harris has never headlined his own Australian tour before, and the first one is four outdoor shows next February. The part worth getting right is the week ahead of you: there are three separate on-sales, they happen on three different days, each one has a gate you either clear or you do not, and the earliest of them lets you buy the fewest tickets. Here is the whole sequence.

Where do you buy Calvin Harris Australia tickets?

Through Ticketmaster Australia , which is the ticket agent for all four shows. The promoter is Untitled Group and the tour is listed on Live Nation Australia as well.

Three of the four run on consecutive nights and then there is a six-day gap before Melbourne, which is worth knowing if you were planning to follow the tour rather than pick a city.

You will need a My Ticketmaster account, and tickets for these shows are mobile-only — there are no printed tickets, and you access them through the Ticketmaster app. All four shows are 18+ with valid ID required at the door.

When do tickets actually go on sale?

Three times, across four days. Every time below is local to the venue you are buying for, not to wherever you happen to be.

Artist presale12pm Wed 23 SepRegistered fans
General on-sale1pm Thu 24 SepEveryone

The pattern is an hour later each time, which is a small thing until you are setting an alarm for the wrong one.

Which presale can you actually get into?

That depends on whether you are a Telstra customer, and on whether you register with the promoter in time.

The Telstra Plus presale is for active Telstra customers only. There is no way to join it at short notice if you are not one, and it is the earliest of the three.

The artist presale needs a free registration with Untitled Group, the promoter, on its page for the tour . This is the only one of the three gates you can still walk through today, and registering costs nothing.

⚠️ The registration deadline is where the timing gets strange. Ticketmaster states it as 11am on Thursday 24 September, local to the venue you want. The artist presale opens at 12pm on Wednesday 23 September. Those two facts mean the sign-up window stays open for a full day after the presale it grants access to has already started, and closes just two hours before the general on-sale anyway. The guide does not explain that overlap. The safe reading is the boring one: register now rather than working out how late you can leave it.

How many tickets can you buy?

Four in the Telstra presale, six in the other two — so the earliest queue has the tightest limit, not the most generous one.

On-saleLimit per transaction
Telstra Plus presale4
Artist presale6
General on-sale6

This inverts what people usually assume about presales, and it matters if you are buying for a group. Getting in two days early with a Telstra account means coming out with four tickets; waiting for Wednesday or Thursday means up to six. If your group is five or six people, the early queue cannot serve you in one transaction at all.

What do the VIP packages actually include?

Two packages, and the difference between them is whether you can see the stage.

PackageStage view
VIP Lounge + GANo direct stage viewing
VIP + Stage Front GAStage Front viewing area

That first line is Ticketmaster’s own wording, not an inference. VIP Lounge + GA is described as a hospitality experience — a dedicated entry lane, the VIP lounge, a private bar, cloakroom, phone charging, a photobooth, a laminate and lanyard, and an exclusive merch item — sold with a general admission ticket and explicitly without a stage view of its own. VIP + Stage Front GA adds the front viewing area to the same lounge access.

Neither package has a published price, so there is no way to say yet what the stage view costs on top.

What should you sort out before Monday?

Everything that can go wrong at checkout, because none of it can be fixed while you are in a queue.

  • Sign in to your Ticketmaster account now and check the email, phone number and payment details on it are current.
  • Verify the mobile number, because the queue sends a sign-in code by text and a stale number locks you out at the worst moment.
  • Warn your bank. A card that declines an unusual charge will lose you the transaction, not pause it.
  • One device, one tab. Ticketmaster’s own advice is that extra attempts to join the queue can eject you from it.
  • Install the app before the day rather than after you have paid, since the ticket only ever exists there.

Accessible tickets are booked separately: through the Ticketmaster website, through a Help Centre request under Accessible Bookings, or on 1300 446 925, open 9:00am to 5:00pm AEDT every day. Ticketmaster is explicit that submitting a request does not guarantee a ticket and that what is available varies by venue.

Can you buy from a resale site?

For the Sydney show there is a legal ceiling on what a reseller can charge you. For the other three it depends on the state, and Australia has no national anti-scalping law.

New South Wales has had rules since 1 June 2018 covering events at a NSW venue, which is what The Domain is. Under them:

  • it is an offence to resell above the original price plus transaction costs, capped at 10% of the original ticket price
  • a resale advertisement must show the original cost, an asking price no more than 10% above it, and the seat location
  • an event organiser cannot cancel your ticket just because it was resold, provided the resale followed those rules

🔴 The part people miss is the enforcement. NSW Fair Trading states plainly that if you buy a resold ticket, attend, and then discover you paid more than 110% of the original price, it has no power to order a refund. The cap is a rule about what a seller may do, not a guarantee you will get your money back.

Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne sit under three different state regimes, and the protections are not the same as New South Wales’s — so check the rules for the state your show is in rather than assuming the Sydney position travels. For a tour where the safest route is simply the official one, the same reasoning applied to Oasis at Knebworth , where there was never a general on-sale to queue for at all.

The bottom line

Register with Untitled Group today — it is free, it takes a minute, and it is the only gate still open to everyone. If you are with Telstra you go first on Monday at 11am, but you can only take four tickets, so a group of six should plan for Wednesday or Thursday instead. Every time is local to the venue, the tickets live in the app and nowhere else, and prices have not been announced, so anything you see quoted this week is somebody reselling a ticket they do not have yet.

How we verified this

Every date, time and rule here comes from Ticketmaster Australia’s own on-sale guide for this tour, published on 16 September 2026. That is the page the promoter and ticket agent point fans at, and it is where the presale windows, the eligibility conditions, the transaction limits, the VIP inclusions and the age restriction are stated. Nothing on this page is taken from an aggregator.

The four dates were confirmed a second time against Live Nation Australia’s own event listing, which carries the same venues in the same order, with the same days of the week. Two official surfaces agreeing is the standard used here before printing a schedule.

No prices, because none have been published. Neither the ticket agent nor the promoter has released a price for any tier, including the two VIP packages. This page would rather say that than repeat a figure from a resale listing, which is what a price found before an on-sale almost always is.

The resale section quotes the New South Wales government’s own guidance, not a summary of it. Only the Sydney show falls under those rules — they apply to events held at a venue in NSW — and the position differs in the other three states, so this page names the rule that is verified and points at the other states’ own agencies rather than generalising one state’s cap across a national tour.

One oddity is reported rather than tidied up. The registration deadline for the artist presale is 11am on Thursday 24 September, which falls 23 hours after that presale opens at 12pm on Wednesday. Registering during that window may still be useful, or it may not; the guide does not explain the overlap, and neither does this page.
