January 28Jan 28 3 hours ago, Mr. C. Joel said:It will never change we’re all held at ransom. We either pay the prices or miss out. Sadly, they’ll always be enough people buying the tickets at these prices. I’m not even a total hardcore Harry Stan but I’ve got tickets.The only way things will change is when artists like Harry / Taylor go against the grain and refuse to charge over the odds.It's doable Olivia Dean is making a stand
January 28Jan 28 Author Olivia made a stand regarding resale prices and that's great - I assume most artists aren't involved actively in ticket prices until they hear of the backlash, though.
January 28Jan 28 I think a lot of high profile artists can take a stand, Ariana has done it hasn't she?I can't comprehend spending that amount of money on ANY artist and I think a lot of people should rake a stand and just not purchase like Calum said. It stops a lot of people who are less wealthy and on the breadline not able to purchase to ever be able to purchase tickets and live music shouldn't be a luxury!It's also absolutely okay to hold our faves accountable. I would do the same if say idk Tate or SZA did the same, Harry especially is from a humble upbringing and I think it's very naive to say they can't do anything or should do anything at all
January 28Jan 28 I think even more so at a "tour" like this making it essentially residency your hurting even more of you fanbase that would have to travel, not to mention extortionate hotel prices (yes not the artists fault either though)
January 28Jan 28 Author I don't think anyone's saying Harry can't take a stand (nor is anyone defending the prices), but just that he probably wasn't part of the pricing decisions at all, I doubt most artists are, especially when they're on major labels. It'd be great to at least see an initiative put forward to block third party reselling for higher than face value (or outside Ticketmaster/Twickets in general). Ultimately it's down to Ticketmaster and touring companies being deeply greedy and it's a real shame to see the trend in concert tickets becoming more and more expensive.

June 21Jun 21 What a show - was at Wembley last night in the Kiss zone, wildly expensive but worth every penny - loads of room plus being really close to Harry.Highlights for me were Aperture and American Girls, they sounded so good live and I guess as they are newer songs the crowd went extra wild.
Sunday at 00:393 days I’ve just got back from the 8th concert at Wembley! Utterly loved it, Harry was great, sounded brilliant and the staging was excellent. The run of the first 4 songs was just bang bang bang bang excellent! 👌 I think my favourite was either keep driving which sounded divine or sign of the times, it was so atmospheric especially with the fireworks. 🥰 Gave me Robbie performing Angels vibes a bit of a goosebumps moment.I also saw a David Bowie exhibition at the lightroom in the day which was great, you could definitely see the Bowie influences in Harry’s show from the outfit to the dancing, some of the songs and even the art quote. Definitely leaning from another great showman. ♥️ Shania sadly wasn’t great. A couple of songs nobody was interested in, she also cut two singles Up and whose bed have your boots been under, from her setlist for some reason. Her sound quality was really poor for some reason yet Harry’s was really clear. Apparently, according to the BSL interpreters (who were amazing too) it has happened every night with her sound quality being really poor. 🤔 everyone was dancing madly for I feel like a woman though.
