It’s been six long years since Ariana Grande went on tour. So it’s big news that her just-announced Eternal Sunshine tour crisscrosses North America next summer, and it’s an added bonus for the Bay Area that the entire tour kicks off right here with two nights in Oakland.

Ariana Grande will play the Oakland Arena on Saturday, June 6, and Tuesday, June 9. The shows are sure to sell out quickly — and we’ve got details on how you can buy tickets before the general public.

Presale tickets for Ariana Grande’s shows go on sale Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 10 a.m. local time. In order to be eligible for the presale, you must sign up at this presale link right here. There is no presale code; access to the presale is tied directly to your Ticketmaster account. Presale signups close at 11 a.m. Pacific Time on Sunday, Sept. 7.

After signing up, you will receive a presale link via email the day before, on Sept. 8. Then, on Sept. 9, you can join the ticket waiting room at 9:30 a.m., 30 minutes before the presale starts.

As of this time, no other presales have been announced for the Ariana Grande tour, such as credit card presales, Spotify presales or Live Nation presales.
