They asked: ‘Will there be more tickets added?’; ‘I hope there’s extra tickets’; ‘is there gonna be a new sale with the new dates ?’
MailOnline have contacted Olivia’s representatives for comment.
Olivia previously said she was ‘sooooo disappointed’ and ‘so bummed’ to postpone the Manchester shows after slated the venues ‘poor management’ of the arena opening.
They said they had to cancel the show after a piece of ventilation equipment ‘separated from the ductwork’ in what it blamed on a ‘factory defect’ related to the piece of kit.
In a statement on Instagram, Olivia Rodrigo said: ‘Hello! I’ve been having such a great time in Europe so far and I’m sooooo disappointed that we’re unable to perform in Manchester due to on-going venue-related technical issues.
‘We’re doing our best to schedule the show. You can hold onto your tickets for further info or request a refund at your point of purchase. More info will be sent directly to ticket holders.
‘I’m so bummed and I really hope to see you all soon.’

Hysterical fans took to social media to lash out at bosses for failing to get the arena ready for the third time after previously postponing other opening shows.
Olivia fan Lee Middleton, who had tickets for Saturday’s show, told MailOnline: ‘I cannot believe millions of pounds have been spent on this venue and a bit of an air conditioning unit falls off.’
‘I was so looking forward to it. I never go out at night and this was a big thing for me to do,’ said TikToker Chelsea Salt in a video she posted after the Olivia news broke.
‘We spent so much time planning, talking about it, booking hotels, booking surprises, I booked my make-up online to get done, I bought matching bracelets, spent time talking about outfits.
‘I’m just absolutely gutted. It’s just such a shame and they’ve let so many people down.’
