Tickets for the Blink-182 world reunion tour went on sale, and fans have given their reactions.
Earlier this month, the band announced a major reunion tour, which would see Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker reunite with guitarist Tom DeLonge for the first time in almost a decade.
This tour will also see Blink-182 take to the stage for some live shows across Latin America, before taking their tour across North America.
Blink-182 will also be taking in shows at Belfast’s SSE Arena and Dublin’s in September 2023. You can still purchase some tickets online here.
Fans React
While some fans were rejoicing in gaining online access to tickets, others were understandably heartbroken for missing out on such an opportunity.
“WHY WAS IT EASIER TO GET HARRY TICKETS THAN BLINK TICKETS”, one fan wrote.
While another disgruntled fan added, “Missing out on Blink 182 tickets has already ruined my week”.

This news regarding Blink-182 comes a matter of months after band member Mark Hoppus revealed that he was given the all clear, following cancer diagnosis 18 months ago.
“Very grateful today,” Hoppus wrote, “my scan came back clean and I’m cancer-free”.
“I have so much to be thankful for today”, Hoppus wrote last November “This photo is from June, halfway through chemo, no idea if it was working or not, relegated to the bathroom floor, retching”.
He also added, “If I ever complain about something trivial or unimportant, please show me this photo to remind me of how bad things can be, and how truly blessed I am”.
