Harry Styles faces backlash over ticket prices for Together, Together tour
Harry Styles fans are pushing back against ticket prices for the singer's upcoming Together, Together tour.
Presales for the "Aperture" singer's tour began this week for American Express holders, and ahead of the general sale period on Friday, fans are expressing concern about their inability to score tickets due to the high cost.
Following the initial presale on Jan. 26, some took to social media to express their frustration.
"It's giving 'TOGETHER? NEVER.' *cries self to sleep,*" one Threads user wrote.
Another person, who shared a screenshot on Threads of the price of two tickets totaling $1,532.80, wrote, "I'm sorry Harry but I just can't justify spending an entire paycheck on 2 concert tickets."
Styles announced last week that he would be embarking on a limited tour for the first time since 2023. The Grammy winner's upcoming Together, Together tour will have stops in Amsterdam, London, São Paolo, Mexico City, New York, Melbourne and Sydney.
Amid the massive demand for tickets, Styles added six more shows to his tour stop in London. On his official website, it also appears Styles extended his run in Amsterdam from six to 10 dates.
A source told ABC News that Styles' tour garnered 11.5 million total presale registrations, making it the largest volume ever for an artist presale.
Another source added that because of the large number of fans registering for the presale, Styles had to add more nights at Wembley Stadium in London, making him the record holder for the most solo shows at the venue.
Presales were also priced higher due to the inclusion of VIP packages, in which early entry, exclusive merch and food are included in the experience, according to the second source.
"Good Morning America" has reached out to Styles' team for comment.
As record-breaking demand drives added dates, fan frustration highlights ongoing concerns about the rising cost of live concerts -- and who gets left out.
Styles is far from the only artist who has faced backlash over the price of concert tickets. Artists including Olivia Dean, Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo have all faced similar criticism over ticket costs for their respective tours.
In November, Dean faced backlash over unfair pricing of resale tickets for her upcoming The Art of Loving Live tour. Dean reacted to the resale prices on Instagram, calling for Ticketmaster, Live Nation and AEG to "find a new way" of making tickets affordable and accessible. She also apologized to fans for an "issue with ticket re-selling and pricing" and said the last thing she wanted was for customers to be "scammed or overcharged for our show."
After a conversation with Dean's team, Ticketmaster issued a statement vowing to cap all future ticket resale prices for Dean's tour and also said it would refund fans for any markup they already paid to resellers.
General onsale for Styles' Together, Together tour begins Jan. 30.
