Ed Sheeran Ticket Prices Drop Amid Pro-Palestine Protest Plan
The show was moved to 8 p.m. after opening acts withdrew, and resale ticket prices fell to $53 as protest concerns grew, analysts said.
- On Saturday, Ed Sheeran's concert at Lincoln Financial Field was delayed to 8 p.m. as pro-Palestinian groups prepared to protest outside the venue. The Philadelphia Police Department stated they are working to ensure safety during the demonstration.
- The lineup change follows Macklemore being dropped from the Loop Tour after making comments about Gaza. Sheeran stated the decision to remove him was made by the tour promoter, not himself.
- Other artists, including Finneas and Beoga, subsequently withdrew from the tour in solidarity. Fans are attempting to sell tickets, with prices for Saturday's show dropping to $54.
- Organizers of the planned protest stated they will continue their rally at the original time, undeterred by the concert's schedule change. Police have adjusted their staffing to monitor the demonstration and ensure public safety.
- Market data shows resale prices for the Philadelphia show fell 45 percent over the previous week as the tour continues through North and South America. The tour is scheduled to conclude in Mexico City in December.
