Ticketmaster prices for Harry Styles’ Together, Together tour are leaving fans furious

Harry Styles fans are expressing frustration over ticket prices for his recently announced Together, Together tour, after Ticketmaster pre-sales this week revealed what many say are exorbitant prices.

The backlash reflects a general tension in modern pop fandom, where online communities are grappling with rising concert prices, limited tour dates, and a cost-of-living crisis that has made live music feel out of reach. As screenshots of ticket prices spread across X, Threads, and TikTok, the presale frenzy quickly became less about one artist and more about a broader question: Who participates in pop culture moments when “together” comes with a price tag of four people?

Frustration quickly spread on social media, where fans shared screenshots of ticket prices, line messages, and memes criticizing the cost and accessibility of the Together tour.

Adding to the frustration is the release of a live style tour, which limits Styles’ appearance in the US to one place – 30 days at Madison Square Garden in New York City – and a few cities around the world, a format that fans have already criticized as unattainable. With many forced to consider travel, accommodation, and downtime over ticket prices, the Together, Together tour has sparked a renewed debate online about whether local concerts prioritize spectacle and exclusivity over fan reach.

The setback comes as Styles returns to the scene with his new single “Aperture” and upcoming album Kiss Always. A disco, sometimes. – and it’s part of a wider, ongoing dispute between fans and Ticketmaster.

Last fall, Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino said concert tickets are actually “very cheap.” Speaking at CNBC and Boardroom’s Game Plan conference in September, Rapino compared concert prices to those of expensive sporting events, noting that shows by top artists are now more sophisticated productions that justify the higher costs. “We have many runways left,” he said. “So when you read about the ticket price increase, the concert price is still $72. Try going to a Laker game for that… The concert is low priced and has been around for a long time.”

Critics were not convinced. As Mashable’s Tim Marcin noted, “On average, a ticket to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour cost $3,071 in Indianapolis, the nation’s capital with an income of $71,959. The price of one ticket was twice the average monthly rent in the city. That wouldn’t be considered ‘affordable.’

As for the style tour, Together, fans who managed to get through the sales line were met with a wide range of Madison Square Garden dates. Buyers were told that tickets are “pre-priced for travel from $50 – $1,182.40, including service fees. Ticket prices will not change during pre-sale or on-sale. Price tiers do not apply to VIP packages. Tickets are subject to availability.” According to the The Hollywood Reporterthe most expensive VIP package currently available for MSG shows is $1,667.

Even within those guidelines, seats were priced based on the schedule, and fans reported that the cost jumped as the venue filled up – leaving many to seek whatever they could afford, or to share screenshots online to express how “together” they felt.

For now, “together” may remain more of a marketing promise than a lived experience. It looks like many of us will be watching the tour via TikToks and live streaming.
