Fans are going nuts trying to get their hands on tickets to Kendrick Lamar's Australian DAMN. tour with tickets already hitting resale sites at exorbitant prices.
Lamar's Sydney and Melbourne arena gigs sold-out in less than an hour after going on sale this afternoon and resale site Viagogo has since been flooded with tickets going for between $230 and $1,400 each.
At the time of writing, Viagogo reports that over 5,000 people are viewing the tickets for both shows despite repeated warnings from promotors not to buy from unaccredited sites.

Australian comedian Greg Fleet also reported that his daughter was "ripped off" to the tune of $1,400 after attempting to buy Groovin The Moo 2018 tickets on Viagogo.
My 15 y/o daughter and friends got ripped off $1,400 by ViaGoGo buying tickets to @groovinthemoo. I desperately need 5 ticks. Will pay. ?

Mushroom Group founder and head of Frontier Touring, Michael Gudinski addressed the growing problem last month following multiple ticket resale incidents during Ed Sheeran's Australian tour.
"It needs to be dealt with nationally once and for all," Gudinski said.
"Seriously, it's just distraction after distraction. And you still go on the computer and you still see Viagogo on the top [referring to Google searches].
"I had hundreds of people didn't get into the Ed Sheeran show in Perth because of it and I feel terrible about it but it's not my problem. It needs to be administrated."
Due to overwhelming demand, Lamar has added a second Sydney and Melbourne show to his tour which are on sale today (30 April).
