Sam Fender is unhappy with ticket prices for his 2027 stadium tour. 'I'm not happy with these prices, they're getting changed,' he wrote on Instagram, according to NME, after a user who regularly leaks tour details published the prices. They had been inflated far more than he had in mind and should only reflect the cost of putting on the show, he said. Split standing areas will not happen either: 'It's bollocks and it won't be happening on this tour.'
According to the leak, standing tickets in Newcastle were to cost £98.60 and front standing at London's Wembley Stadium £130.75; Cardiff, Edinburgh and Manchester were reportedly split into two standing sections. Tickets for his 2025 stadium shows ranged from £65 to £88. Fender did not say when the revised prices will be published.
The 'Proper Massive Stadium Tour', with Wunderhorse in support, opens on 3 and 5 June 2027 at St James' Park in Newcastle and also takes in Cardiff, Wembley, Dublin, Edinburgh and Manchester. General sale begins on Friday 30 October at 9.30am GMT; no German dates have been announced. In July 2027 Fender headlines Rock Werchter in Belgium.
