Robbie Williams fans brand £125 tickets a 'rip off' as tour dates go on sale

Tickets for Robbie Williams' 2025 tour have officially gone on sale this morning. The former Take That sensation has announced his UK, Ireland and Europe tour for next year.

The 'Robbie Williams Live 2025' tour will see the pop star perform in three UK cities - although Stoke-on-Trent hasn't been chosen this time round. The musical journey begins in Edinburgh in May, then moves to Manchester, before wrapping up in Bath.

Following his UK performances, the 50 year old Port Vale fan, who grew up in Tunstall and Burslem, will embark on a European leg of the tour, with stops in Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden and more.

The ticket sales kicked off with a presale yesterday, with the general sale set to follow on Friday, November 15. Fans who pre-ordered the soundtrack from Robbie's upcoming musical biopic 'Better Man' were granted access to the presale which started at 10am.

Prices for standard tickets, revealed this morning, start from £76.50 for standing. For Co-op Live, prices without packages range from £76.50 to £166.50 - the latter being for Premium Ticket AMP Club, reports the MEN. Other options are available at £98.95 (standing), £126.95 and £166.50.

However, some fans have expressed their disappointment on social media regarding the available tickets and the varying prices for different venues on the tour.

Given the number of venues he is playing, ticket prices and options vary, with VIP packages also on offer. However, users on X, formerly known as Twitter, have reported seeing tickets priced over £125, with some labelling them as 'not affordable' and a 'rip off'.

One wrote: "The price of @robbiewilliams tickets is actually ridiculous! Cheapest at £125, not affordable for a lot of people.

"Feel sorry for the true fans who don't have that money to spend."

Another wrote: "Dunno about @robbiewilliams more like robbing b***** was gonna buy my mum a couple of tickets but not as £125 a pop id happily spend that on her but then she's gotta find someone else to pay £125 b***** rip off."

A third, who shared a screenshot of the ticket prices of Robbie's London Emirates Stadium gig on the website eventtravel.com, with listings of £425 for the Early Entry Experience London, wrote: you cannot be serious charging these prices.

"You're pricing the long standing Friendlies out of being able to get up close to see our favourite artist. It's pure greed!"

And a another user on X, sharing the tickets prices for the gig at The Royal Crescent in Bath said it was a case of 'ticket prices gone mad'. "£266 for a single ticket to see Robbie Williams."

The tickets prices for Williams in bath offered general standing for £110 plus £13.75 ticket fee and £1.80 venue levy, taking the price to £125.55. Meanwhile, Gold Circle Standing with fees and levy comes to £266.17.

The singer will be joined by Rag’n’Bone Man and Lottery Winners in Edinburgh on May 31 and London on June 6. Lottery Winners will follow for the whole UK tour run.

Commenting on the tour, Robbie said: “This tour is going to be my boldest yet - I can’t wait to see you next year. There will be songs from the movie ‘Better Man’, and some new music too…but more on that soon."

Robbie Williams holds several records for live performances, and still holds the Guinness World Record for his 2006 world tour - selling more than 1.6 million tickets in a single day. More recently, this July saw Robbie return to BST Hyde Park in London for a sold-out headline show. He also performing a homecoming gig at Vale Park in 2022.
