## Key points

- Sam Fender has revised prices for his 2027 UK stadium tour.
- Higher-priced front standing tickets have been removed.
- General admission starts at £85, before fees.

## Summary

Sam Fender says he was unhappy with the prices for his June 2027 UK stadium tour and has had them revised. He has also removed higher-priced front standing tickets, saying fans with standing tickets should have an equal chance of reaching the front.

General admission now starts at £85, while seated tickets cost £55, £75 or £95 depending on location. Prices exclude venue and ticketing fees, plus a £1 contribution to the LIVE Trust, which supports grassroots music venues; Fender said those costs have risen sharply and are outside his control. The tour includes Newcastle, Manchester, Cardiff, Edinburgh and two Wembley dates, with presale on 28 October and general sale on 31 October.
