Harry Styles has added two more Wembley Stadium dates to his Together Together tour after fans branded him ‘greedy’ and ‘out of touch’ for ridiculous ticket prices.

The singer, 31, who had previously announced 10 shows at the iconic venue, will now make history this summer when he takes to the stage to play a record 12 times at the stadium.

It means that the former One Direction star will surpass Coldplay to become the act who has played the venue the most times in a single tour after they did 10 gigs last summer as part of their Music of the Spheres tour.
Previously, Taylor Swift held the most performances by a solo artist at Wembley Stadium after eight shows during her Eras Tour, nabbing the title from Michael Jackson, who performed seven.

 

The Watermelon Sugar hitmaker will take to the iconic venue on June 12, 13, 17, 19, 20, 23, 26, 27, 29 and the first, third and fourth of July.

However as pre-sale tickets went on sale, many fans have branded Harry as ‘greedy’ and ‘out of touch’ after seeing the sky-high ticket prices for his tour.
The singer will travel to seven cities for a string of dates, but after the tour’s pre-sales began on Monday, fans were quick to vent their fury at the high cost of tickets, especially compared to his previous Love On Tour, which wrapped in 2023.

Seats on the London leg range from £44 ($60.80) to a £466.24 ($642.76) for seats, while the standing prices range from £144 ($199.45) to £279 ($385.34), and VIP packages cost from an eye-watering £468.85 ($646.50) to £725 ($1,000).

 

Meanwhile fans waiting in the online queue for tickets to see Harry in New York’s Madison Square Gardens were told: ‘Tickets for this event have been priced in advance by the tour from $50 to $1,182.40, including service fees.’

In New York, it’s also thought the most expensive VIP package is currently priced at $1,667.

In Amsterdam, tickets cost anywhere from €74.05 (or $87.79) to €828.62 (which is $982.38 in USD).

In comparison, Styles’ 2022 residency at Madison Square Garden ranged in price from $39.50 to $199.50, while his sold-out run at Wembley Stadium in London in 2022 started at only £45 and went up to £99.

The costs have sparked a furious reaction from Harry’s fans, with many blasting the star for making music ‘inaccessible’ for a large portion of his young fanbase.

 

Posts on X included: ‘This is the WORST presale experience I’ve ever had. I really thought I had a chance to see Harry since I was 20k in line but they sold out in 30 minutes.’

‘Hey @Harry_Styles as someone who’s loved you for almost 14 years and went to all the tours, I’m at a loss for words over how much you/ur team seem to have lost touch with reality in terms of residency shows and ticket price. Music should be accessible. Remember how you started.’

 

‘Friendly reminder that artists can disable platinum pricing, implement face value ticket exchange, have a say in their own pricing! Harry Styles you’re a greedy a*s b***h.’

 

‘I can still love Harry Styles and say he’s a greedy man who doesn’t care about his fans as much as he appears to pretend he does.’

 

‘Harry Styles I want you to stand in the put and not let anyone walk in unless they had you $1200 in cash. Look every fan in the eye and ask them for $1200.’
