"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."
English singer-songwriter Tom Grennan announced his biggest UK headline tour yet, all while keeping ticket prices reasonable due to the cost of living crisis. The 27 year old is now receiving praise from fans for this decision, to his surprise.
Grennan's tour will consist of 10 arena gigs across the UK, concluding with The O2 Arena in London. The tour is in support of his third studio record, What Ifs & Maybes expected Spring 2023. He stated he is taking the cost of living crisis "very seriously" when considering ticket prices.
One fan tweeted, "I haven't seen enough people talking today about how brilliant the pricing of Tom Grennan's arena tour is. The cheapest I've seen for a mainstream radio played artist for a long time. Fair play." to which 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. Others should take note."

He's been praised for being "in touch with real life," as his tickets remain around £35+ even at large arenas. "Hat's off to Tom Grennan affordable ticket prices on an arena tour!" another fan wrote.
Hats off to @Tom_Grennan affordable ticket prices on an arena tour! Last time I seen him on tour the tickets were £20 and I accepted I would never see him for that price again. £35+ booking fees is insane at the moment. Nice to see an artist in touch with real life.
