Ticketmaster Cancels Harry Styles Resale Tickets

Tickets to Harry Styles’ ‘One Night Only’ show at Manchester’s Co-Op Live that have been listed on unauthorized resale platforms will be canceled by Ticketmaster, as per The Ticketing Business.

Special show:

• In support of his upcoming new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, Styles will play 12 shows at London’s Wembley Stadium.

• His only other UK date is a one off at Manchester’s Co-Op Live, for which tickets were sold for £20 (USD$27).

Rules of sale:

• Ticketmaster announced on X that it is working with Styles’ team to cancel and refund orders that have violated the rules of sale.

• It stated: “As all tickets are non-transferable, any tickets listed on unauthorised resale sites are void and will not get fans into the show – so we’re cancelling and refunding these.”

• It added: “There is also a ticket limit of two tickets per person, so any orders above that are being cancelled and refunded.”

• The post reminded fans that tickets can only be resold on Ticketmaster for up to £20 plus fees.

• The Ticketing Business says canceled tickets will be reallocated to select fans whose original request was not fulfilled. They will be contacted by email for a chance to purchase the tickets.

Via-no-no:

• In its post, Ticketmaster made specific mention of Viagogo, which it says houses the majority of unauthorized listings.

• It says it has asked Viagogo to stop listing the tickets, but that ultimately the platform controls what’s on the site.

• The secondary marketplace responded by telling The Ticketing Business: “Ticket resale is legal and highly regulated in the UK. Attempts to restrict resale by the primary, who control 94% of the market are anti-competitive, risk entrenching monopolies, and push fans toward unregulated channels without consumer protections.”

• It added: “Viagogo is a marketplace where sellers set prices and fans ultimately choose tickets that meet their budget; prices naturally fluctuate based on supply and demand.”
