Harry Styles Fans Outraged by Ticketmaster Fees

' fans have hit out at Ticketmaster after resale tickets for his tour have been made available to buy with an increased service charge.

The singer, 32, is kicking off his seven cities tour in Amsterdam before heading to London and dates for these venues have now been made available for resale.

While fans initially rejoiced that they had another chance to see the Aperture hitmaker, they said they were soon brought back to earth by the hiked pricing.

They noticed that the additional service charge to buy a ticket was significantly increased from the fee attached during the first sale.

For example, rear standing tickets which were originally bought for face value at £145.39 included a service fee of £18.40 for the buyer.

However, for whoever purchases these tickets now incur an additional charge of £21.81, bringing the new ticket total to £167.20.

For VIP packages this cost is only increased further, a ticket for the Disco Package has a £50 service charge attached to the total cost. The £334.93 ticket instead costs £385.17 for the purchaser.

This is causing frustration among fans who are looking to buy tickets, as well as sellers who are concerned it will make their tickets harder to sell.

Many have taken to X to air their fury over the situation, writing: 'So for Wembley fans literally can't list the price higher than they were originally paid for them. The hiked up price is cause Ticketmaster is adding crazy service charges. So not fair on the sellers and buyers';

'Can Ticketmaster explain why they're adding a £50 service charge for the buyer, on top of each single ticket resold by fans for Harry Styles Wembley? For 2 tickets thats almost £100 service charge';

'Service tweet: If you wanna sell your Harry Styles tickets, do it on here and just transfer. Ticketmaster resale adds like £50 of fees, so it ends up way more expensive than face value';

'Ticketmaster resale count your days bc why is my Harry Styles ticket being sold for £130 by me, coming up as £150 for buyer bc you want to get a £20 service charge!? You already got it from me the first time and now you want it twice?'; 'Why are we charging more than 100 euros for service fees for (2) Harry Styles resale tickets. Is this some kind of sick joke?';

'Harry Styles resale service costs are actually insane why is there a £40 charge'; 

'Ticketmaster charges- lots of Harry Styles fans are looking to sell their tickets privately cos Ticketmaster are adding about £50+ service charge on top of a £300 single ticket that fans are listing for resale.

'That's up to £100+ charges added for the buyer for two tickets that are £300 each. For the Wembley and Amsterdam events.

'For example it's only £16.20 service charge per ticket if you buy a non resale over £300 is the point.'

According to information surrounding the topic, even though the ticket already existed, Ticketmaster treats the resale as a new transaction. 

So they charge the buyer for: processing the payment transferring the ticket securely customer support and guarantees.

The resale service charge is usually tied to the ticket price, so a higher resale price equals a higher fee which makes already expensive tickets feel even worse at checkout.

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Ticketmaster and Harry Styles for comment.
