Sam Fender pre-sale tickets finally go live today after 'bot attack' and pricing changes
Despite plenty of ticketing drama in recent years, we haven't seen an initial ticketing run quite as chaotic as Sam Fender's Proper Massive Stadium tour.
Fender has made headlines this week for stepping in to combat what he described as 'astronomical' ticket prices.
After being alerted to the cost of his concerts, the Geordie star stepped in, posting the following on Instagram: "I’ve managed to get front standing tickets removed from the UK stadium tour.
"Whoever buys a standing ticket gets as much chance as anyone to be at the front. No more 120 quid standing tickets either."
Responding to his initial post, Fender continued: "I’m not happy with these prices. It got inflated well more than I’d had in mind, it should only be inflated in relation to the cost of putting the show on. The standing will not be split as well, I had no idea about it."
Alongside pricing changes, the Proper Massive Stadium tour has also fallen victim to an alleged 'bot attack', as reported by the BBC, which affected his homecoming shows in Newcastle.
Newcastle shows were initially being sold on ticketing provider Gigantic; however, fans were unable to access tickets.
As a result, the Newcastle show pre-sale has been moved from 28 October to 9:30am on 29 October, and Newcastle tickets are available on Ticketmaster.
With so many changes and uncertainty around Sam Fender's 2027 UK tour, we've put together the ultimate guide to how to get your hands on the Proper Massive Stadium tour tickets today.
