Rod Stewart announces huge 2023 Australian Tour with very special guest Cyndi Lauper – here’s how to get tickets
Tonight’s the night.
Continuing his iconic reign, Sir Rod Stewart is coming back to Australia with a string of headline shows across March and April 2023 – kicking off in Perth with additional stops in most major cities across Australia and some regional hubs.
Sir Rod’s 2023 tour promises show-stopping classics and new hits delivered in his unmissable and captivating style. As one of the best-selling artists of all time, Sir Road has sold an estimated 250 million records and singles worldwide. All his fans can look forward to experiencing his performance of fan favourites from across his career and the first live performance of tracks from his current album, THE TEARS OF HERCULES.

Fans attending shows will not only be spoilt with the presence of the living legend, Sir Rod himself, but also his very special guests. Sir Rod Stewart will be joined on his 2023 tour by revered artist Cyndi Lauper. Lauper is not only a ground-breaking talent but a Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award-winning songwriter and performer. Her iconic voice, influential punk glamour and infectious live shows catapulted her to stardom.
Opening for all shows on the tour is also acclaimed rock singer Jon Stevens. As the frontman for Noiseworks he is a member of that exclusive club: the Kiwis who are so successful and talented that we claim them as our own.
Sir Rod Stewart’s rekindled love for songwriting is clear on his 31st studio album, THE TEARS OF HERCULES. It is Stewart’s fourth new album of original songs since 2013, when he reconnected with his songwriting muse to record Time, the chart-topping album which entered the Top 10 in the US and ten countries worldwide, including #1 in the U.K. You won’t want to miss out on this show-stopping tour, but you better act quickly as we expect it’ll be a sell-out event!

Get in early and ensure all your MyTicketmaster account details are up to date – from your password to your card details and your phone number.
Ticketmaster will regularly ask you to update your password to ensure the security of your account – you don’t want to get stuck having to change your password while the ticket timer is counting down during onsale as you can risk losing the incredible tickets you have secured.

Get to know Ticketmaster’s Smart Queue
If you aren’t familiar with Smart Queue, it is Ticketmaster’s way of creating a clear and fair process for thousands of fans to buy tickets in a short space of time. Fans enter the virtual Waiting Room prior to onsale time before joining the Smart Queue – which acts as a ‘virtual line’, helping us protect you and your tickets in a more effective way.
The time you join the Waiting Room does not determine your place in the Smart Queue, so we recommend joining at least 10 minutes prior to the event going on sale.
When the sale begins, the Smart Queue will open and everyone in the Waiting Room is given a place in line. Those who did not join the Waiting Room will be placed at the end of the line.
- Sign in to your Ticketmaster account at least 10 minutes before joining the Waiting Room. This will speed up your purchase later.
- Confirm you have a valid form of payment in your account with current email and billing information. This will make checkout a breeze.
- Resist the urge to refresh. Your page will automatically refresh when you enter the Smart Queue.
- Keep an eye on the time! When it’s your turn, your spot will be held for 10 minutes to begin shopping.
- Just like before, tickets are always based on availability, demand, and are not guaranteed.

What are In Demand Tickets?
In Demand Tickets are tickets in some of the most sought after areas in the venue. Please Note – Ticket prices may fluctuate based on demand.
In Demand tickets are made available by artists and event organisers through Ticketmaster. They give fans fair and safe access to the most sought-after areas in the venue at market-driven prices (adjusting prices according to supply and demand). In Demand tickets are ticket-only purchases, and prices are subject to change at any time.

Hints and tips for improving your chances of getting tickets to Rod Stewart’s 2023 Australian Tour
Make sure you have a My Ticketmaster account
Get the basics covered before tickets go on sale by logging in and checking your Ticketmaster account ahead of time. If you don’t have a Ticketmaster Account then make sure you sign up in advance – Ticketmaster.com.au.
Sign into your My Ticketmaster account ahead of time
Remember to triple check your passwords, account information, and billing information are all filled in correctly in advance, that way you’re not facing any last-minute account updates when trying to process your order.
Keep your options open with ‘Best Available’
Save time by searching “Best Available,” which scans all sections fast – it’s quicker than searching sections one at a time.
Keep an eye on the clock
There will be a time limit applied to all transactions as you are progressed through the ticket purchasing stages. Remember to keep an eye on the timer on your screen and move through the processing pages as quickly as possible (this is even easier when you’ve completed the account set-up stage we mentioned above).
Don’t refresh your screen
Stick to one window while you’re in the Waiting Room and when you’re being pushed through the Smart Queue and always resist the urge to refresh.
Hitting the refresh button means you’ll lose your place in the queue and, as frustrating as it can get, patience is the only way to win this game. Ticketmaster is equipped with sophisticated systems that are designed to manage and process ticket purchases as quickly as possible. The queuing system that appears on your screen will place you at the front of the line as soon as possible.
Remember: there are a lot of fans
We’re expecting this to be a very popular event. When a popular event goes on sale there are hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of customers all attempting to purchase tickets at the same time. Tickets are sold as long as seats are available, and when an act is this popular, sometimes they go very quickly.
Be sure to follow the above tips to ensure you have the best chance of snapping up some tickets.
Rod Stewart, with very special guest Cyndi Lauper, will be bringing their tour to Australia in March 2023. Tickets are on sale via Ticketmaster.com.au.
