Ed Sheeran resale ticket prices slide as the Macklemore fallout grows
Ed Sheeran resale ticket prices are down, according to the site Ticketdata. The drop-off comes after Macklemore was removed from Sheeran's tour.
Resale ticket prices for Ed Sheeran's LOOP Tour are decreasing, according to Ticketdata. The decrease is particularly notable in Philadelphia, where prices have dropped by 17% over the past three days. The decline follows the removal of Macklemore from the tour due to his controversial comments about Palestine. Following Macklemore's exclusion, Sheeran's resale ticket market has been experiencing a downward trend.
Out of the next ten dates on the tour, nine have witnessed a price decrease within the last three days, showing a clear pattern of decline. Macklemore was removed from the tour after making remarks about the Palestinian territories during two concerts at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The decision to remove him was reportedly made by Sheeran's tour promoter in response to threats from stadium venues.
Sheeran has since expressed his own dismay over the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The controversy has not only affected Macklemore but has also led other band members and opening acts to withdraw from the tour.
