- December 12, 2026, – Spark Arena, Auckland
The Don’t Be Dumb World Tour Australia and New Zealand leg commences on Saturday 5 December at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, with stops in Sydney, Auckland and Brisbane, before concluding at Perth’s RAC Arena on Thursday 17 December.
The announcement follows the conclusion of the tour’s sold-out, 25-date European and UK leg, an arena run that brought Rocky to 19 countries and saw him perform tracks from DON’T BE DUMB alongside fan-favourite hits from across his catalog. The run delivered a series of landmark achievements across Central and Eastern Europe, making Rocky the first rap artist to play eight arena shows in the region. It also included the fastest-selling rap show ever in Greece, the biggest arena sales for a rap artist in Zagreb, Belgrade and Sofia, and the highest-grossing rap tour across the region.

A$AP Rocky Don’t Be Dumb World Tour Ticket Tips
Are there ticket limits in place?
There is a strict limit of four (4) tickets per customer for the presale and eight (8) tickets per customer for the General Public.
Please adhere to the published ticket limit. Persons who exceed the ticket limit may have any or all of their orders and tickets cancelled without notice by Ticketmaster at its discretion. This includes orders associated with the same name, e-mail address, billing address, credit card number or any other information.
How do I purchase Accessible Seating tickets?
Accessible seats can be purchased by calling our Customer Service team on the Accessible Bookings line: 09 970 9711. This phone number is reserved for patrons with accessibility requirements and can not process any other ticketing requests. Accessible tickets, both during presales and the general public sale period, can also be requested via our Submit a request – Ticketmaster Help. Please be sure to include your relevant presale code with your request if wanting to make a booking during the presale period.
Venues are solely responsible for establishing their own accessible seating ticket policies. Availability and type of accessible seating tickets will vary by venue.
Will there be a queue in place prior to ticketing going on sale?
We expect that tickets to A$AP Rocky will be in high demand, and to make the process fair for everyone you may be placed in a queue.
You will be assigned a random place in the queue once the onsale starts. Your place in the queue is not based on what time you entered the Waiting Room. We suggest entering the Waiting Room 15-30 minutes prior to the start of the Presale.
Once you get your spot in the queue, please do not refresh your browser as you will be pushed to the end of the line.
We will get you through the queue as quickly as possible, so please sit tight.
How will I receive tickets?
All tickets purchased through Ticketmaster are now digital, meaning you can easily access your tickets on your phone via the Ticketmaster app or mobile web browser via Ticketmaster.co.nz, add them straight to your phone’s ticket wallet, and share them with your friends and family.
Log into your Ticketmaster account and update your password if needed!
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.
