Why the Numbers Are Confusing

Love On Tour visited 87 cities over five continents. Styles repeated in some of those markets, like New York and Amsterdam, ultimately making 98 stops during the two-year trek. With multiple shows at certain stops, like the highlighted 15 in New York and Los Angeles, the tour amounted to 169 shows.

On Together, Together, Styles announced shows in just seven cities – Amsterdam, London, Sao Paulo, Mexico City, New York, Melbourne, and Sydney – or about 8% of the stops from Love On Tour.

If we cut Love On Tour’s routing to just his most recent visits to those cities, the $617.3 million and five million tickets would shrink to $166.4 million and 1.3 million.

Styles will make up for his limited travel with longer stays in most of those cities. His last trip in Amsterdam lasted three shows, and his announcement last week plans six for 2026. In London, he had two shows in 2022 and another four in 2026. Last week’s schedule matched that with another six. But immediate demand pushed to 10 in Amsterdam and 12 in London.

Most notable is Styles’ multi-month stay in New York. He famously played 15 shows at Madison Square Garden in 2022 (plus five in 2021). That was unprecedented for a single tour, but all records are meant to be broken: between Aug. 26 and Halloween, he is set to play 30 dates at MSG.

In both Sao Paulo and Mexico City, he’s up from two shows to four. In Melbourne, up from two to three. So far, Sydney is holding strong at two shows.

Using these show counts with the same attendance and ticket prices as Love On Tour, projections for Together, Together would double – and then some.

In six of the seven cities on Together, Together’s calendar, Styles will return to the same venues he played in 2022-23: Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, Wembley Stadium in London, Madison Square Garden in New York, Estadio GNP Seguros (formerly Foro Sol) in Mexico City, Marvel Stadium in Australia, and Accor Stadium in Sydney.

The only change is a move in Sao Paulo, from Allianz Parque to Estadio Morumbi. Estadio Morumbi’s typical capacity is closer to 60,000, compared to about 45,000 at Allianz Parque.

Given the increased capacity, add about 60,000 tickets and $5 million spread across those four shows to Together, Together’s projected totals.

While six of Styles’ seven venues are stadiums, the lengthy stay at Madison Square Garden makes up almost half of his upcoming concerts. When he last played the Manhattan arena, he did so in the round. His stage was in the center of the floor, allowing 360-degree ticket sales in the lower bowl and balcony. It meant that he sold an average of 18,457 tickets per show, compared to about 15,000 for a typically staged performance.

Based on pre-sale ticket maps, it appears he will resume in the round performances, while performing from a front-facing stage at stadiums.

Even with more supply than a typical MSG show, surging demand remains outsized. At 18,000 tickets per show, there should be nearly 550,000 tickets on sale in New York. But Live Nation reports that the tour has generated 11.5 million total artist presale registrations for the NYC shows – roughly 20 times the available inventory. It’s not just the highest volume ever recorded for an artist presale in New York, but the biggest for any single-market or residency-style run in Ticketmaster history.

When tickets first went on sale for Love On Tour, it was November 2019. He had one album under his belt and was gearing up for his second. Since then, he scored his second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with Fine Line, which yielded a top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hit in “Adore You” and then his first No. 1 with “Watermelon Sugar.” The latter track won a Grammy for best pop solo performance.

Harry’s House followed, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 in June 2022. Its lead single, “As It Was” topped the Hot 100 for a then-record 15 weeks and became the year’s biggest song in the world, finishing atop the year-end Billboard Global 200 Songs chart. The album ultimately triumphed even bigger than his last at the Grammys, taking home album of the year.

All that momentum is fueling the hype machine for Together, Together and Styles’ entire 2026. He announced his fourth album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, set for release on March. 6. Its first single, “Aperture” was released on Thursday, Jan. 22, hours after the tour’s announcement. It has already topped real-time charts on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube, and will make its splashy Billboard chart debut next week.

Styles’ outsized demand – in New York and around the world – warps Together, Together’s Boxscore performance beyond counting the number of seats for sale. The average ticket price among the top 10 acts on Billboard’s year-end Top Tours chart has risen by 11.7% from 2022 to 2025. Among the top 100 acts, it’s up by 15.6%.

The average ticket on Love on Tour went for $122.89, though it was much higher and lower in certain cities. On one end of the spectrum, New York sported a $227.93 average, and on the other, Mexico City tickets were under $65.

Considering Styles’ discography has grown, and he’s added more accolades and chart triumphs to his name – not to mention compressed demand in each city with far fewer shows than Love on Tour – it’s likely that concert grosses will surge beyond market rate, perhaps up to 25-30%.

The initial announcement of Together, Together included 50 shows. On Tuesday (Jan. 27), he added eight. Just in the time writing this story, he added seven more – two apiece in London, Sao Paolo, and Mexico City, and one in Melbourne.

With pre-sales and the general on sale rolling out this week, demand could still force Harry’s hand for more dates, or even more cities.
