Harry Styles Fans Protest Over ‘Insane’ Ticket Prices
Harry Styles is set to embark on his highly anticipated “Together Together Tour” in 2026. However, the ticket prices have sparked backlash among fans, who are expressing concerns over what they view as exorbitant costs.
Tour Details and Ticket Prices
The “Together Together Tour” will launch with 50 shows spanning seven major cities around the world:
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
- London, UK
- São Paulo, Brazil
- Mexico City, Mexico
- New York, NY, USA
- Melbourne, Australia
- Sydney, Australia
A notable highlight includes a 30-night residency at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Tickets are already on sale, beginning with a presale for American Express cardholders.
However, fans are frustrated after noticing that ticket prices exceed $700 on platforms like Ticketmaster. Some seats, not even located in prime areas, are listed for as high as $1,000. The use of “Platinum” or “Dynamic Pricing” by ticketing outlets is often blamed for these inflated costs, which rise based on demand.
Industry-Wide Issues
This issue extends beyond Harry Styles. Many other artists have faced similar reactions, including Olivia Rodrigo and Green Day. Fans routinely encounter lengthy online queues, error messages, and ultimately, exorbitant ticket prices.
Live Nation’s CEO, Michael Rapino, recently remarked that prices are still reasonable compared to other entertainment expenses, implying that fans should accept the current pricing. With Live Nation’s revenue increasing 11% to $8.5 billion and operating income up 14% to $1.03 billion, it seems unlikely that ticket prices will decrease in the near future.
Upcoming Presale Dates
The tour’s ticket sales will continue with additional presale dates:
- Artist Presale: January 27 and January 29
- General Presale: January 30
For the international shows, ticket sale dates vary by city:
- São Paulo: January 28
- Mexico City: January 29
- Amsterdam and London: January 30
- Melbourne and Sydney: January 30
