One Melbourne ticket holder even posted on a fan forum that “adult diapers” might be a good idea to ensure they don't miss a song while waiting in line for the toilet.
“A bit of a stupid question, I'm heading to Melbourne N1.” Is anyone considering wearing an adult diaper? I just REALLY don’t want to miss a second of this,” the anonymous post reads.
Tour organizers are also worried about the estimated 15,000 fans who come to the pop star's sold-out shows even though they don't have tickets.
Venues NSW have warned ticketless fanatics to stay away from Accor Stadium to prevent crowd control problems, The Daily Telegraph reported on Sunday.
