Ticketmaster Cancels Scalped Harry Styles MSG Tickets, Reissues Seats at Face Value

Fans can request the recovered seats April 30–May 1 at original prices under $130.

Overview

  • Ticketmaster said Wednesday it canceled thousands of Harry Styles’ Madison Square Garden tickets bought with multiple fake accounts by scalpers and said none had been transferred to fans.
  • The company will relist the seats at the original prices set by the tour, with all tickets under $130, 77% under $95, and 19% priced at $50.
  • Fans can submit requests on Ticketmaster from April 30 at noon ET through May 1 at 5 p.m., and those matched will get confirmation emails by May 8.
  • Requests prioritize people who do not already have NYC tickets and cap each buyer at four seats for two shows, while existing valid purchases and transferred or resale tickets in Ticketmaster accounts are unaffected.
  • The announcement follows a jury verdict last week that found Live Nation and Ticketmaster operated a monopoly, and some artists and fans, including Jack Antonoff, questioned the timing and motives.
