Sam Fender has criticised the high prices of tickets for his upcoming 2027 Proper Massive Stadium Tour, which will visit cities including Newcastle, Cardiff, London, Edinburgh, Dublin, and Manchester. Although tickets are yet to go on sale, Fender responded to social media claims about expected prices, stating he was "not happy" with the reported costs and promised to lower them. He emphasised that ticket prices should only reflect the cost of putting on the show.
Fender also announced that standing areas at his concerts will not be divided into front and back tiers, rejecting the common practice of charging fans more to be closer to the stage. This move aims to make the concert experience fairer for attendees. His stance follows similar concerns raised by other artists, such as Zara Larsson, about the affordability of gig tickets.
