The Weeknd is finally bringing his record-breaking After Hours Til Dawn global stadium tour to Australia this October, and we couldn’t be more excited.
However, with excitement comes a bit of confusion—especially when it comes to securing those highly-coveted presale tickets.
If you’re scratching your head about how to access the past purchaser presale or any of the other presales, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered.
The Weeknd 2024 Tour Past Purchaser Presale: The Lowdown

Presale Starts Soon
The presale kicks off on Wednesday, Aug. 21, at 12 p.m. AEST in Sydney and 1 p.m. AEST in Melbourne.

Top Tips for Securing Tickets
- Get Ready Early: Have your presale code, payment details, and seating preferences ready before the presale starts to avoid any last-minute scrambling.
- Move Quickly: Tickets will sell out fast, so log in ahead of time and be ready to purchase as soon as the presale opens.
- Don’t Panic: If you miss out during presale, remember that the general onsale starts on Monday, Aug. 26—there’s still hope!
- Multiple Devices: Using more than one device can boost your chances but may trigger anti-scalping technology, potentially removing you from the queue. To minimise the risk, stick to one or two devices on different networks (such as one on Wi-Fi and another on mobile data).
