Fans Can Get Dua Lipa Presale Tickets First with an American Express Presale Code—Here’s How

Fans around the globe are clamoring over the news of Dua Lipa’s just-announced Radical Optimism Tour. The new tour dates will see the Houdini singer make stops around the globe in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the UK. Naturally, fans want to score presale tickets. Well, there’s an exclusive presale on top of the presale.

Dua Lipa’s artist presale will begin on Thursday, September 19. However, American Express is hosting a presale before that! This is not uncommon. Billie Eilish recently had an American Express presale, as did Olivia Rodrigo and the iconic indie rockers TV On The Radio. We’ve written about thousands of concert presales over the past decade, and American Express is always the go-to credit card of choice for concert lovers. Why? They often give access to high-demand concerts through their various presale opportunities.

If you’re an American Express card member, you can take part in the presale. If you’re not an AMEX card holder, you have time to sign up and become one. It’s totally worth it if you love going to shows and enjoing other life experiences such as travel, food and entertainment.
