Bruno Mars announced his 2026 “The Romantic Tour,” marking his first full headlining stadium run in nearly a decade. The response? Absolutely massive. Mars broke both Live Nation and Ticketmaster records by selling 2.1 million tickets in a single day, prompting him to add 31 additional shows to meet demand. The pre-sale ran January 14th, general on-sale launched January 15th, and as expected, shows across North America, Europe, and the UK sold out within hours.
If you weren’t able to secure tickets during the initial rush or you’re just now realizing you need to see one of the best live performers in the game, don’t give up. While primary tickets are scarce, there are still legitimate ways to get into what’s shaping up to be one of the biggest tours of 2026. Here’s everything you need to know about scoring tickets, what to expect price-wise, and more details about Mars’ big comeback.
Where Can You Still Get Bruno Mars Tickets?
Missing out on the initial on-sale doesn’t mean you’re out of options. The secondary market is active, and verified resale platforms offer legitimate ways to secure tickets. Here’s where to look:
StubHub
StubHub remains your safest bet for resale tickets. Every purchase comes with StubHub’s FanProtect guarantee, meaning you’re covered 120% if anything goes wrong. Prices fluctuate based on demand and proximity to the show date, so check regularly. You can find tickets here.
Ticketmaster Resale
Ticketmaster has its own verified resale platform where fans who can’t attend relist their tickets. All tickets sold through Ticketmaster Resale are verified, so you’re not dealing with potential fakes. Keep checking back — inventory updates constantly as plans change, payments fail, or people realize they have conflicts. Check availability here.
What to Expect: Pricing Reality Check
Bruno Mars’ tour, as expected, isn’t cheap: He hasn’t done a full stadium tour in nearly a decade, and the demand reflects years of pent-up anticipation. His last residency at Dolby Live in Las Vegas consistently sold out, and his recent stadium shows in Brazil and Mexico grossed nearly $18.4 million. This tour is operating on an entirely different scale.
Based on current resale market data (~one week post-general sale), here’s what you’re looking at:
The median asking price across the tour sits around $920, meaning half of all available tickets are priced near or above four figures before fees. Entry-level tickets start around $170-$220 depending on the city, but those are typically upper-level seats in less desirable sections. Most inventory falls in the $570-$1,500 range, with premium floor seats and front-row sections reaching $7,000+ in high-demand markets.
Some cities are more affordable than others. Currently, Charlotte, Nashville, Columbus, and Las Vegas show lower entry prices (around $220-$290), while markets like Atlanta, Landover, and certain California dates are running significantly higher. Weekday shows tend to be slightly more affordable than weekend dates.
Here’s what drives pricing on the secondary market:
City and Venue – Major markets like Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium), New York (MetLife Stadium), and London (Wembley Stadium) command premium prices. Smaller markets and weekday shows offer better value.
Seat Location – Floor sections and lower bowl seats are where prices skyrocket. Upper-level seats offer the most affordable entry points, though even nosebleeds can run $300+ after fees in hot markets.
Time Until Show – Prices can drop closer to show dates if sellers get nervous about sitting on inventory, but given Mars’ track record of selling out stadiums, don’t count on major price drops.
Here’s the crucial part: the prices you see listed are not your final costs. Secondary market platforms add service fees, processing fees, and delivery charges that typically range from 20-40% of the ticket price. A $500 ticket can easily become $650-$700 by checkout. Budget accordingly.
Tips for Securing Tickets (Even When It Seems Impossible)
Getting into a sold-out Bruno Mars show takes strategy, persistence, and flexibility. Here’s your game plan:
1. Check Back Constantly
This is the single most important thing you can do. Sold out doesn’t mean gone forever. Check Ticketmaster and StubHub multiple times throughout the day. Payment issues, cancelled credit cards, buyer’s remorse, and sudden schedule conflicts mean tickets continuously become available. Some fans report finding tickets weeks after the initial sell-out.
2. Be Flexible with Dates and Cities
Mars is playing multiple nights in most major cities. Los Angeles has four shows. Toronto has five. New York (East Rutherford) has four. London has six shows at Wembley. If your first-choice date is sold out or too expensive, consider another night in the same city or traveling to a nearby market. Weekday shows are often more affordable than weekend dates.
3. Set Price Alerts
Most secondary market platforms allow you to set alerts for specific price ranges or sections. Use them. Resale prices fluctuate constantly, and you want to know immediately when something in your budget becomes available.
4. Consider Less Obvious Markets
Everyone wants Los Angeles, New York, and London. But Mars is also hitting Columbus, Charlotte, Nashville, Pittsburgh, and Air Force Academy in Colorado. These markets typically have lower demand and better prices while offering the exact same show.
5. Verify Everything
Only buy from established platforms like StubHub or Ticketmaster. Never purchase from social media, random websites, or individuals claiming to have extras. Scammers target high-demand events like this, and losing hundreds or thousands of dollars to fraud is not worth the risk.
Avoiding Scams: Protecting Yourself
With this level of demand, scammers are working overtime. Here’s how to stay safe:
Never buy from social media. No exceptions. Even if the account looks legitimate, it could be hacked or fake. Any unsolicited message offering tickets should be treated as a scam.
Never accept screenshots as proof. Screenshots can be faked, photoshopped, or sold to multiple people. You need actual, transferable tickets through a verified platform.
Never send money via Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, or wire transfer. Legitimate ticket sales go through platforms with buyer protection. If someone asks for peer-to-peer payment, they’re very likely scamming you.
Stick to verified platforms. StubHub and Ticketmaster both have comprehensive buyer protection. If something goes wrong, you have recourse. If you’re buying from an individual, only do so through a platform that holds the payment until the tickets are verified and transferred.
If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Floor seats selling for $200 when they’re listed at $2,000 everywhere else? That’s not a deal. That’s a scam.

About the Tour
“The Romantic Tour” marks Bruno Mars’ first full headlining stadium run since his record-breaking 24K Magic World Tour in 2017-2018. The tour supports his new album The Romantic, dropping February 27th — his first solo album since 2016’s 24K Magic. In the years between, Mars maintained a residency at Dolby Live in Las Vegas (consistently selling out shows), released the joint album An Evening with Silk Sonic with Anderson .Paak, and delivered massive collaborations like “Die with a Smile” with Lady Gaga and “APT.” with BLACKPINK’s Rosé.
The tour broke records before it even started, achieving the biggest single-day ticket sales in Live Nation history and moving 2.1 million tickets through Ticketmaster in 24 hours. Due to “overwhelming demand,” Mars added 31 additional dates to the original schedule, bringing the total to nearly 70 stadium shows across North America, Europe, and the UK.
