Going to Olivia Rodrigo's tour? What to know to be a perfect all-American (you know what) (2024)

Three-time Grammy winner and pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo is coming to Ohio. That's right, Livies, gather your red lipstick, fishnets and pent-up emotion. We're in for a night.

Rodrigo will perform at Nationwide Arena in Columbus on Friday, March 22. The show is part of her Guts world tour, which kicked off Feb. 23 in California and shares the name of her sophom*ore album.

I plan to make the hike from Cincinnati to Columbus to see our girl perform. So ahead of the show, I gathered answers to questions I wondered myself, as well as some I noticed fans were searching on Google (Both nationally and locally. I want our friends going to other shows to have the answers they need).

So whether you have already secured the coveted tickets to the show or are still looking, here's everything you need to know before you spill your guts with Rodrigo.

Tickets to the Olivia Rodrigo concert in Columbus on March 22 are sold out on Ticketmaster. Tickets are still available on resale sites, such as SeatGeek, Vivid Seats and StubHub, with the cheapest options falling around $300 to $400 before fees.

As for other American cities? Those are sold out, too. You can join a waitlist on the official tour website for when tickets become available. But check ticket resale sites for availability, as those may be your best bet.

What time does the Olivia Rodrigo concert start?

Rodrigo's concert at Nationwide Arena will start at 7:30 p.m. ET. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. ET. If you're attending Rodrigo's concert in a different city, check your tickets for the start time.

What time does Olivia Rodrigo go on stage?

According to Reddit, Rodrigo goes on stage at or around 8:30 p.m.

A Reddit user commented the following schedule for the concert:

• 7:30 pm: concert opener goes on stage.
• 8:00 p.m.: opener finishes.
• 8:30 p.m.: Rodrigo goes on stage.
• 10:00 p.m.: Rodrigo finishes.

However, a Reddit user who attended the Palm Springs concert said the opener performed for "just under an hour," rather than only 30 minutes. This didn't affect Rodrigo's schedule, though. The user stated Rodrigo came on stage at 8:40 p.m.

This schedule isn't 100% confirmed but is a good guide for those wondering when they should be in their seats to see Olivia.

How long is the Olivia Rodrigo concert?

The entire concert lasts 2.5 hours, according to Reddit, ending at 10:00 p.m. The opener performs for roughly 30 minutes or so, and Rodrigo performs for 90 minutes.

Again, this time is according to other fans and is not 100% confirmed through official sources.

Olivia Rodrigo merchandise

The merchandise sold at the Guts tour stops differs from what's available on Rodrigo's official website.

A TikTok posted in February shows the merchandise available at the show and the items' prices, giving fans a good idea of what they can possibly expect when they're ready to buy merch. According to Elite Daily, this includes the following:

• Hoodies: $80.
• Crewneck: $60.
• Long sleeve T-Shirt: $60
• Butterfly tote bag: $50
• T-shirts: $45.
• Tank: $45.
• Charm bracelet: $40.
• State charm: $10.
• Hat: $40.
• Beanie: $40.
• Tour poster: $20.
• Light up star: $15.
• Bandaids: $15.
• Face gems: $10.
• Sticker sheet: $10.

A Reddit user who attended the Palm Springs concert claimed merchandise was available outside and inside the venue. Merchandise for the opener, Chappell Roan, was only available inside. Otherwise, all the merchandise should be the same inside and outside the venue.

Where to buy a Guts tour poster

Want to get a poster to remember an iconic night for the rest of your life? There are at least five to choose from.

The TikTok above shows two posters likely available at your concert. One looks to be cream-colored with a sketch of Rodrigo's face inside a star. The other poster is purple and features Rodrigo leaning over a toilet with glitter and stars inside the toilet bowl.

Three different posters are also available on Rodrigo's official site. These include the Guts Would Tour City-Specific Admat poster, Guts Olivia Rodrigo All-American B---- poster and the Bad Idea Right? poster.
