Fender Slams 'Bollocks' Ticket Prices: 'They're Changing!'
24 Oct
Summary
- Sam Fender criticized high ticket prices for his 2027 stadium tour.
- He promised to reduce costs, calling tiered standing tickets 'bollocks'.
- Fender aims to align prices with show production costs.
Musician Sam Fender has responded decisively to fan concerns regarding the pricing of tickets for his highly anticipated 2027 stadium tour. Fender, addressing criticism on Instagram, declared that the current high costs 'won't be happening' and promised that ticket prices 'are getting changed.' He specifically targeted the tiered pricing for standing tickets, labeling the practice as 'bollocks' and expressing bewilderment at its normalization in the live music industry.
Fender clarified that ticket prices should only be inflated in relation to the actual cost of producing the show. His intervention follows the announcement of his Proper Massive stadium tour, with initial ticket prices for shows, including Wembley, ranging from £64.75 to £130.75. The singer, who will perform at venues across the UK and Ireland in summer 2027, aims to ensure accessibility for his fans.
This stance echoes sentiments from other artists, such as Zara Larsson, who has also voiced concerns about expensive ticket prices for her shows. Fender's tour will visit Newcastle's St James's Park, Cardiff's Principality stadium, Dublin's Marley Park, Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium, and Manchester's Etihad stadium.
