Olivia Rodrigo is bringing her “The Unraveled Tour” to Chicago for two nights at United Center this October, and tickets are in high demand for her stint in the Windy City. Her Chicago run — one of two touring stops in the Midwest, in addition to Columbus, Ohio — is part of a nearly 100-date world tour behind her upcoming third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love. The pre-sale has closed and the general on-sale has already sold out via Ticketmaster, but there are still ways you can snag some tickets before October.

The Chicago Show Details
Olivia Rodrigo plays United Center in Chicago, Illinois, on Sunday, October 11th and Monday, October 12th, 2026.
Both shows begin at 7:00 p.m. Wolf Alice will be opening for each show.
United Center is at 1901 W. Madison Street on the Near West Side of Chicago. If you hop on the #20 Madison bus, it will drop you off right in front of the arena, but the #9 Ashland, #50 Damen, and #126 Jackson bus will also drop you nearby. You can also commute via train on the Green & Pink Lines to the Ashland/Lake station or the Blue Line to the Illinois Medical District station, both of which will take about a 10-15 minute walk to the arena. If you’re driving, arrive early for parking, and if you’re going to rideshare, the Uber Zone is located at the corner of Madison Street and Wood Street (Lot E), but public transit is probably the easiest move.
Where Can You Get Tickets?
The general on-sale sold out quickly, in typical Olivia Rodrigo fashion, but it is always worth checking Ticketmaster first to see if any face-value inventory remains or has been added.
If you missed out on the general on-sale for Olivia Rodrigo’s Chicago shows, there are other ways to purchase tickets.
One of the first places to look is StubHub, which has listings for both nights. Every purchase is backed by StubHub’s FanProtect guarantee — if something goes wrong with your tickets, you’ll be reseated or refunded at 120% of what you paid. StubHub is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on how much demand is left closer to the concert dates.
You can also check Ticketmaster Verified Resale and SeatGeek — SeatGeek offers their promo code SEATGEEK10 that gets you $10 off your first order over $150.
There is also always the fan-to-fan option, you can check r/oliviarodrigo closer to the show dates. However, this is the riskiest option as there’s no buyer protection for these deals, so make sure to only deal with accounts that have a real post history and never send money via Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle.

What Are Tickets Going For?
As of this writing, Monday, October 12th is the slightly more affordable show for Olivia Rodrigo’s Chicago run, which is a welcome surprise for a closing city performance. For the second night, upper-level tickets in the 300s are starting around $435, with Floor GA tickets hovering around $872. Lower bowl tickets are starting at $684 for sections with a side-stage or slightly angled view.
The Sunday, October 11th opener is currently seeing higher demand, with upper-level seats starting at a steeper price around $545, nearly $110 more for the same view. The Floor GA tickets for both nights are very similar in price, but Sunday offers a slightly lower price point. For premium lower-bowl views (like Sections 114 and 107) on either night, expect prices to scale from $760 up to $971+. However, if you’re looking for seated tickets, Monday is the cheaper option.
All of those prices already include fees — what you see on StubHub is what you actually pay.
Short version: If you just wanted the cheapest seat in the house, go Monday the 12th. If you want to experience the thrill of opening-night and are looking for Floor GA, Sunday the 11th gives you a slight financial edge for the pit, even if the grandstands are pricier.

Should You Consider a Nearby City Instead?
If you’re up for a 5-and-a-half hour road trip, it might be worth taking a look at Rodrigo’s two nights in Columbus, Ohio. She’s playing at Schottenstein Center on October 29th and 30th, 2026. GA Floor tickets are similar in price to the Chicago nights, but the Columbus shows are offering a more affordable entry point around $370.
Strategic Tips for Buying
- Check face value first. Head to Ticketmaster and OliviaRodrigo.com and see what’s left. Even when shows appear “sold out,” inventory occasionally comes back.
- Compare the two dates before buying on resale. October 12th (Monday) is currently the cheapest night for seated tickets, with slightly more expensive, but similar prices for GA Floor tickets compared to Sunday night.
- Set a price alert on StubHub. It’ll notify you when prices drop below a number you set, which is handy if you’re holding out for a better deal.
- Don’t sit on a listing you like. When you find a price you want, it can disappear fast, especially once new listings shake the market.
- Stick to platforms with real buyer protection. StubHub’s FanProtect and Ticketmaster Verified Resale both verify what you’re buying. If you’re dealing or swapping tickets with a fan on Reddit, only engage with accounts that you can track a real community history — and never wire money through Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle. Also make sure to trust your gut and be skeptical of prices that may be too good to be true.
