Ticketek Reckon Harry Styles’ November/December Tour Is Still Going Ahead Somehow

UPDATE 14/09, 12.04pm: Ticketek has since followed up its initial tweet, saying they’re taking instructions regarding the tour from promoter Live Nation Australia. They say they’re “urgently seeking clarification” and will update fans when they have more information.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE:

Ticketek are copping a roasting online after telling Harry Styles fans that the singer’s Australian tour – scheduled to kick off this November – is “proceeding as planned” amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Over the weekend, the ticket company’s official Twitter account responded to a tweet regarding why it was taking so long for the tour to be rescheduled.

“The Harry Styles Australia & New Zealand tour is proceeding as planned and we are excited to welcome everyone to the events in November and December,” wrote the account.

“In the event of a cancellation, exchanges and refunds will be processed according to AU/NZ consumer law.”

As you might imagine, that response has been met with a level of incredulity, given that we’re currently experiencing a global pandemic. International borders are largely closed, full-capacity arena concerts are extremely not permitted, and you can barely set foot out your front door in Victoria more than an hour a day.

Styles is yet to comment himself on the Australian tour, but he has postponed dates in both America and Europe until 2021.

“The well-being of my crew, and all the fans around the world will always hold top priority. I can’t wait to see you all out on the road, as soon as it’s safe to do so,” the singer wrote when announcing rescheduled US dates back in March.
