New £20 Harry Styles tickets axed over tout fears

A small number of new £20 Harry Styles tickets have been cancelled over fears they have fallen into the hands of touts.

Ticketmaster said it had now voided some tickets, which were released on Friday night after fans had to request them.

The singer will play Manchester's Co-op Live Arena on 6 March, the date when his upcoming album, Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally, will also be released.

A spokesperson for the ticket agency apologised to affected fans and said a programme had been used to "block touts".

They added: "During an inventory update ahead of fulfilling additional requests, a small number of tickets were released for public purchase in error.

"We suspect many were touts [who] violated the rules of the sale.

"We apologise for fans that may have been impacted."

Any fans who believed they may have been "misidentified" by the programme have been asked to contact fan support.

The spokesperson said: "We will be working to remedy inquiries as soon as possible."
