Zayn Malik seemingly shaded his former One Direction bandmate Harry Styles over the high ticket prices for the latter’s upcoming “Together, Together” tour.
“I just want to say a big, big thank you to each and every single one of you for being here with me tonight,” Malik, 33, told the audience in a viral clip from his concert in Las Vegas on Wednesday. “You could have been anywhere, but you decided to spend your night with me.”
“Hopefully, the ticket prices weren’t too high,” the singer quipped, adding with a smile, “Just saying.”
Styles, 31, is playing 50 shows across the world between May and December 2026.
Tickets are going for anywhere between £44 ($60.80) to £466.24 ($642.76) at his London shows, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which has sparked backlash online.
“I’m sorry Harry but this is asinine, I love you but I cannot justify spending an entire paycheck on 2 concert tickets,” one fan wrote on X this week.
“Harry Styles ticket prices are disgusting. Everyone should be talking about it cause it’s soon going to happen to every concert if nothing changes. We need to bring back in person tickets,” another tweeted.
“Pissed as hell that Harry styles tickets are going for the same amount as 3 of my biweekly paychecks,” a third fan complained.
Another disgruntled Styles fan vented, “I’m sorry but this is ridiculous for an artist presale for STANDARD prices! Cmon @Harry_Styles @Ticketmaster DO BETTER! I can’t even fathom that there will be 30 shows in my city and it’s too challenging to even get two normal tickets.”
Styles is going on tour to promote his next album, “Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally,” out March 6.
He confirmed that he’s donating £1 ($1.38) from every ticket sold on his stadium tour to LIVE Trust.
The organization supports grassroots music venues across the UK.
Page Six reported Styles had snagged a 30-show residency at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Styles and Malik were members of One Direction alongside Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and the late Liam Payne.
The boy band formed on the UK’s “The X Factor” in 2010, with Malik quitting five years later. The band ultimately broke up in 2016.
After Malik left the band, Styles said in a 2017 Celebrity Family Feud sketch, “Why would anyone in a successful band go solo? That is insane!”
And during his “Saturday Night Live” monologue in 2019, he joked, “I love those guys. They’re my brothers. Niall, Louis, Liam and uh … Ringo! Yeah, that’s it.”
However, any signs of a feud seemed to disappear in November 2024 when the surviving members of the group reunited at Payne’s funeral in Amersham, England.
Payne died in October 2024 at age 31 after falling from the third-floor balcony of his Buenos Aires hotel room.
Both Malik and Styles released statements after Payne’s tragic passing with the “Pillow Talk” writing via social media, “There is no words that justify or explain how I feel right now other than beyond devastated. I hope that wherever you are right now you are good and are at peace and you know how loved you are.”
Meanwhile, Styles said in his statement, “I am truly devastated by Liam’s passing. His greatest joy was making other people happy, and it was an honour to be alongside him as he did it.”
