More remarkable? The fact that tickets for the first performance August 1 Hawaii residents will be offered only. Purchases made on Saturday, May 10 will have to have a Hawaii zip code billing; purchases made on Sunday, May 11 will have no geographical limitation.

While Johnson has been a proud and loyal guy Hawaii all his life, the movement is a clear response to the recent fiasco Bruno Mars tickets, which angered many locals and even inspired legislative action.

Mars Honolulu April shows sold out in two hours, according to OnlineTicketSpot , 42 percent of concert tickets were purchased by people out of state. Hawaii Residents then were desperate to tackle speculators who allegedly were selling return tickets to local Hawaii in a large profit margin.

Johnson, whose tour is to promote her sixth studio album, "From Here to Now to You" announced her North American dates in January, but just added the Hawaii this week shows. According to the promoter Matty Hazelgrove, "really wanted to support Hawaii and the Hawaii community and to give them a first chance to buy a ticket.”
