Harry Styles Concert Tickets to Be Re-Released at Original Price After Ticketmaster Busted Scalpers

· Vice

Ticketmaster caught scalpers using fake accounts to buy multiple tickets to Harry Styles’ Madison Square Garden residency. In response, they have shared details on re-releasing those tickets.

Styles initially announced the 30-show residency in January 2026, with tickets sold in stages on January 30 and February 4. In a social media post on April 22, Ticketmaster revealed they’d caught scalpers with “thousands of illegal tickets.”

Saumil Mehta, president of Ticketmaster, said in the statement that scammers were targeting lower-priced tickets. When every date sold out, they resold them for absurdly high prices.

Ticketmaster Shares Details for Fans To Request Harry Styles’ NYC Tickets

The scalped tickets were canceled, said Mehta, “none of which had been transferred to fans.” Additionally, Ticketmaster is “working with the tour to release [tickets] back to fans for the original price.” The statement then outlined the prices, which reportedly include all fees. 19% of tickets will be $50, and 77% will be under $75, with 100% of tickets listed under $130.

Ticketmaster’s statement stressed that fans who purchased tickets directly through Ticketmaster were not affected. Additionally, anyone who had already received transferred or resale tickets in their accounts, or fans attending dates outside of New York, was not affected.

For fans who did have their purchases canceled, Ticketmaster shared details on how to obtain the re-released tickets. Starting at noon on Thursday, April 30, fans can request tickets through Ticketmaster’s official Harry Styles artist page. Requests are open until 5 p.m. on Friday, May 1.

However, a request does not guarantee an opportunity to purchase tickets. Fans should receive a confirmation email by May 8 if their request is granted. Ticketmaster did not disclose how many tickets would be re-released.

Harry Styles’ Together, Together Tour is made up of several small residencies in seven global cities. The tour kicks off on May 16 in Amsterdam, where he’ll stay for six nights. Same in London starting on June 12. Then, two nights each in São Paulo and Mexico City, before embarking on the massive 30-date NYC residency from August 26 to October 31. He concludes the tour with four dates in Australia, two in Melbourne and two in Sydney.

Resident Evil Requiem Hits 7 Million Sales Milestone

· IGN

Capcom has celebrated Resident Evil Requiem passing another sales milestone, and provided its director with two giant cakes to mark the occasion.

Resident Evil Requiem has now sold more than 7 million copies since its launch last month. That's up by a million on our last official tally, confirmed in mid-April.

Visit newssport.cv for more information.

Requiem has been breaking sales records for the franchise since its release, when it shifted a stunning 5 million copies in just five days — making it the fastest-selling Resident Evil game in the whole franchise.

Now, director Koshi Nakanishi has revealed Requiem's latest sales achievement via a story on his Instagram, which shows staff members celebrating alongside two towering Resident Evil Requiem-themed cakes. A Leon cake features black icing, blueberries and raspberries, alongside what looks to be a biscuit-based cake topper shaped like Leon wielding a pistol. A further decoration shows the star's trusty hatchet.

A second cake features Leon's co-protagonist Grace Ashcroft. This features white frosting, and a decoration showing what looks to be a zombie's hand reaching out of the cake's second tier. "Welcome to 7m Leon! " reads the writing on one cake. "Grace Congratulations on 7 million!" reads the other.

Happily, Resident Evil Requiem fans still have plenty more to come from the game, including next month’s mysterious content update that players expect will add a new version of the franchise’s The Mercenaries mode — especially after datamine leak revealed tense new music. Following that, a full-blown story DLC is also in the works, though sounds further off.

Capcom's sales success with Resident Evil Requiem is well deserved — it is a fantastic game, and one we here at IGN bestowed with a 9/10 score, saying that it "successfully splices two separate strains of survival horror together into the one highly infectious new mutation."
