In response to multiple complaints online from Harry Styles fans who paid for special “VIP” floor tickets on the first two nights of the singer’s “Together Together” tour, but found their views obscured by the 10-feet-tall walkways circling the stadium’s floor that the singer frequently performed upon, the tour’s official rep has issued the following statement:
“The floor concept was designed to give fans freedom of movement and the ability to experience the show from different positions, rather than being confined to one fixed viewing angle,” the statement reads. “That open, free-flowing floor experience has always been an essential part of Harry’s live shows. A small area of the staging in specific floor positions appears to have had a restricted sightline. Those areas are being reviewed carefully and adjusted where possible in compliance with all safety restrictions.”
Sources tell Variety that adjustments are expected to be made in the coming days.
Variety attended the tour’s opening night at Johan Cruijff Stadium in Amsterdam, and viewed half of the show from one of the floor areas in question. While our position was good — mid-floor, with clear views of the stage and many of the walkways — at times, Styles was slightly obscured by the height of the walkways. However, simply backing up or changing position — there was ample room on the floor — largely solved those issues, and Styles was rarely in one place for long. (The photos and video in the Instagram post below were mostly taken from the floor.)
