Tom Grennan has been praised by fans and fellow musicians for his efforts to keep ticket prices for his 2023 UK arena tour affordable. The singer, who announced the biggest headline dates of his career alongside his new album 'What Ifs & Maybes', will play 10 arena gigs next March.
Tickets went on sale on October 7, and fans quickly commended the low pricing. One fan, Sinead, tweeted: "I haven't seen enough people talking today about how brilliant the pricing of Tom Grennan's arena tour is." Grennan replied: "Trust me we've worked hard to pull the cost of ticket down, and dismissed all VIP and platinum ticket options as it's just bollox in the middle of a cost of living crisis. The pinch is real, and I take it very seriously."
Paul Heaton, who with Jacqui Abbott capped their own arena tour tickets at £30, praised Grennan: "That's brilliant Tom! Hopefully other artists of your generation will realise, like you have, that this is going to really hit people hard." Heaton told BBC Breakfast: "I'm against greed in the industry."
Other fans echoed the sentiment, with one saying: "All your ticket prices are affordable. Total respect, as I've paid double to see other music artists in the past." Another wrote: "Hats off to Tom Grennan affordable ticket prices on an arena tour! Nice to see an artist in touch with real life."
General sale tickets for the tour, which includes dates in Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, Nottingham, Manchester, Brighton, Plymouth, and London, are available now.
