Liam Gallagher has provocatively entered the heated debate surrounding Harry Styles' upcoming world tour ticket prices, suggesting that Oasis' own controversial pricing now seems "reasonable" by comparison. The outspoken former Oasis frontman made the remarks as fans expressed fury over the cost of tickets for Styles' 2026 "Together, Together" global residency.
Fans Slam 'Diabolical' Pricing for Styles' Tour
Tickets for Harry Styles' highly anticipated 2026 world tour went on sale this week, immediately sparking outrage among fans who branded the pricing structure as "diabolical." For his London shows, ticket prices range dramatically from £72.95 to an astonishing £725.45 for premium VIP packages. The tour, announced last week, will see Styles perform 50 dates across seven global cities including Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City, New York City, Melbourne, and Sydney between May and December 2026.
Gallagher's Sarcastic Response to Fan Backlash
Weighing in on the controversy, Liam Gallagher joked on social media platform X that he had purchased twenty tickets to Harry's tour with plans to resell them at "ten times the asking price." When one follower questioned whether he had secured tickets, Gallagher replied: "Yes and I'm gonna sell them on 10x the asking price f*** y'all. I've bought 20." Another fan criticised Oasis' own ticket prices with an exaggerated figure, to which Gallagher responded: "They were reasonable looking back at it now."
Oasis' Own Ticket Pricing Controversy
Gallagher's comments reference the significant backlash Oasis faced earlier this year when tickets for their 2025 reunion tour were released. The band encountered similar fan fury when Ticketmaster's controversial "dynamic pricing" system saw standard £148 tickets skyrocket to over £350, leaving many fans unable to secure seats for the coveted gigs. The Oasis ticket controversy prompted a UK watchdog investigation into dynamic ticket pricing practices within the live events industry.
Comparing Styles' Current and Previous Pricing
The current pricing for Harry Styles' 2026 tour represents a substantial increase from his previous live performances. His 2022 residency at Madison Square Garden in New York ranged from just $39.50 to $199.50, while his sold-out run at London's Wembley Stadium that same year started at £45 and peaked at £99. For the Amsterdam dates of his upcoming tour, tickets range from €74.05 to €828.62, with similar premium pricing expected across all international venues.
VIP Package Details and Fan Reactions
Styles is offering three distinct VIP packages for his world tour, each with escalating price points and exclusive benefits:
- The Together Package (£725.45 in London): Includes general admission floor ticket, early entry, priority access to pop-up shop, VIP laminate, access to pre-show lounge with refreshments, exclusive merchandise gift pack, photo opportunity, and VIP concierge service.
- The KISS Package (£468.45): Similar benefits but excludes lounge access.
- The DISCO Package (£333.45): Further excludes fast pass access to the pop-up shop.
Many furious fans have taken to social media to criticise what they perceive as excessive pricing, with some branding Styles as "greedy" and calling the costs "disappointing" and "an actual abomination." One particularly scathing comment read: "I love Harry but the prices for this tour are an actual abomination, taking the utter p**s out of regular people who just want to see his show."
The debate highlights growing concerns about ticket affordability in the live music industry, with premium pricing becoming increasingly common for major artists' tours. As both Gallagher and Styles continue to dominate headlines with their contrasting approaches to fan engagement and ticket pricing, the conversation around accessibility to live music events shows no signs of diminishing.
