MoneyMagpie warns how fraudsters and ticket touts are already targeting desperate concert-goers after the release of tickets for Harry Style’s Together Together tour
Harry Styles has sparked a ticket frenzy after announcing his huge 2026 Together, Together tour – including a record-breaking run of shows at Wembley Stadium.
But while fans are racing to secure seats, consumer experts at MoneyMagpie are warning that scammers are exploiting demand, with fake ticket listings and touts already appearing online.
With queues stretching into the hundreds of thousands during presales and resale prices soaring, many fans are now being urged to take extra care before buying tickets through unofficial channels.
Full list of Harry Styles Wembley dates
Harry Styles will play an unprecedented series of shows at London’s Wembley Stadium this summer, including dates across June and July 2026.
The shows currently include:
- June 12, 13, 17, 19, 20 and 23
- June 26 and 27
- June 29
- July 1, 3 and 4
The singer is also performing multiple nights in Amsterdam, alongside residencies and major dates across New York, Australia and Latin America.
The residency-style tour means there are fewer cities but more shows in each location – helping some fans, but also intensifying demand in major hubs like London.
How much do Harry Styles tickets cost?
Face-value prices for the tour varied widely depending on location and seating:
- Cheapest seated tickets started at roughly £40–£50
- Standard seating typically ranged from around £90 to £180
- Standing tickets often cost between £140 and £280
- VIP and premium packages reached £400 to £700 or more
Since official sales began, resale prices for popular shows – especially Wembley – have surged, with some listings reaching hundreds or even thousands of pounds.
Marc Crosby from MoneyMagpie, said: “Big tours like this create a perfect storm of excitement, scarcity and urgency – and that combination can lead people to overspend or fall victim to scams. Fans need to slow down and think carefully before buying tickets from unofficial sources.”
Presale chaos left fans frustrated
Tickets first went on sale through a series of presales, including fan access codes and credit card early-release offers.
However, thousands of fans reported being stuck in online queues for hours, only to discover cheaper tickets had already sold out by the time they reached the checkout page.
Even those with presale access often struggled to secure lower-priced seats, leaving many disappointed before general sale tickets were released.
MoneyMagpie experts say this is becoming increasingly common for major stadium tours, where presales are designed to reward fans but are often overwhelmed by demand.
Cheap tickets are still possible – but rare
Experts say genuine budget tickets technically exist, but most were snapped up during presales.
While occasional cheaper seats may reappear through official resale channels or closer to the concert date, widespread bargains are unlikely.
Marc Crosby adds that: “Cheap tickets do still appear occasionally, particularly through verified resale platforms, but they’re the exception rather than the rule.
“If fans feel pressured to buy immediately, that’s often when they end up paying far more than they need to.”
Fans are therefore being urged to avoid panic buying – a move that often benefits touts and scammers rather than genuine concert-goers.
Scam warning: How fans are being targeted
Consumer watchdogs warn that major tours are prime opportunities for ticket fraud.
Scammers often use social media, resale groups and direct messages to advertise fake or duplicated tickets, targeting fans who missed official sales.
Common scam tactics include:
- Selling tickets through Instagram, Facebook or TikTok comments or DMs
- Requesting payment via bank transfer, cryptocurrency or gift cards
- Sending screenshots instead of transferable digital tickets
- Offering prices that appear unusually cheap or “guaranteed” access
Fraudsters frequently create urgency to pressure fans into sending money quickly before they can verify the tickets.
How to protect yourself
Experts recommend following a few key rules when buying tickets:
Stick to official sellers Buying directly from authorised ticket providers or verified resale platforms offers the safest protection.
Avoid direct payments to strangers If a seller requests payment outside recognised platforms, it is a major warning sign.
Check ticket transfer rules Many events now require official ticket transfers through recognised apps, which helps prevent duplication and fraud.
Be cautious of “too good to be true” deals If tickets are being sold well below market price, there is a high risk they are fake.
Harry Styles’ 2026 tour is shaping up to be one of the biggest live music events of the decade, and demand is showing no signs of slowing down.
While affordable tickets may still appear occasionally, MoneyMagpie say fans should remain realistic about availability – and above all, stay vigilant against scammers looking to profit from the hype.
For many fans, patience and caution could prove just as important as speed when trying to secure a seat.
