No holding back.

Stormzy has hit out secondary ticketing websites after tickets to his upcoming gigs went on sale for vastly inflated prices. Earlier this week, Stormzy announced details of a series of gigs between March and May this year and tickets were flying when they went on sale on Thursday morning. As has been the case with a number of high-profile acts of late, tickets were available on secondary sites such as Seatwave within minutes. Tickets for his Brixton Academy gig, for example, are available for between £59.00 and £70.00, despite originally going on sale for £22.55. To say Stormzy was unimpressed with developments would be an understatement. He took to Twitter to urge fans not to buy tickets for more than face value, with a special message for those responsible for jacking up the prices. https://twitter.com/Stormzy1/status/829628384732909568 Tell us what you really think, Stormzy. He has since teamed up with Twickets to offer fans a chance to resell tickets at face value.
