Ticketmaster said Wednesday it will rerelease tickets for Harry Styles’ upcoming concerts in New York City after canceling purchases it says were made by scalpers using multiple accounts and fake identities. Fans will be able to request the seats on Ticketmaster’s Harry Styles page starting at noon on Thursday, April 30.
The company said the returned tickets will go back on sale at their original prices, and that the canceled purchases do not affect people who bought directly on Ticketmaster or received transferred or resale tickets through the platform. Ticket requests will close on Friday, May 1, at 5 p.m., and fans whose requests are granted will get an email confirming their order by May 8 at 11:59 p.m.
Ticketmaster did not say how many tickets will be available, but said all of them will cost under $130 and that 19% will cost under $50. The move comes after the tickets for Styles’ Madison Square Garden residency went on sale at the end of January, as part of his two-month residency in New York on the upcoming “Together, Together” tour promoting his latest album, “Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.”
That residency is only one stop on a larger run that begins in Amsterdam in May and then moves through London, São Paulo and Mexico City before arriving in New York in August. Styles will play 30 concerts between Aug. 26 and Oct. 31, with musician Jamie xx as a special guest, before the tour heads to Australia in November and December. He also played a sold-out 15-show residency at Madison Square Garden in 2022 as part of “Love On Tour,” a reminder that demand for his New York dates has remained intense.
The ticket rerelease is also a small but sharp test of how well Ticketmaster can block resale abuse on high-demand shows after years of scrutiny over fees, access and market power. In this case, the company says it caught the scalpers and reversed the sales, and the seats are going back to fans at face value. For anyone hoping to see Styles in New York, the next chance is fixed: request them Thursday, wait through Friday, and look for the email by May 8.
