Tickets to see Ed Sheeran have plummeted in price this weekend due to a planned protest outside the stadium.

Following Macklemore’s Gaza comments, which saw him kicked off Sheeran’s tour, pro-Palestine demonstrators are planning to take to the US stadium where the singer is due to perform on Saturday.

The incident has seen tickets drop to as low as 76 US dollars, around £56.95.

Macklemore, whose real name is Benjamin Haggerty, was dropped from the tour line-up after making comments about Gaza. In solidarity, other support acts have announced they are dropping out of The Loop tour dates.

Sheeran’s own backing band Beoga also announced they were stepping down, writing in a statement on Instagram that they “fully supported” Macklemore’s message.

The 35-year-old English singer began his tour in Auckland, New Zealand in January.

It is set to wrap up in Mexico City in December, with a total of 18 shows still scheduled across North and South America.

He is next due to play in Philadelphia on Saturday night, however tickets are now being sold for as low as 76 US dollars (£56.95).

Ahead of that show, local pro-Palestinian groups have also said they will be protesting outside the venue, Lincoln Financial Field.

In a post shared on Instagram, The Philly Palestine Coalition and Shut Down D& shared plans to “take to the streets to return the conversation to Palestine, and return Philadelphia to action”.

The minimum price for tickets to his next show rise to $112 (£83.83) for his concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts on September 25.

Although Sheeran’s two shows in Hollywood, Florida, on October 29 and 30, have the minimum ticket prices currently advertising for 339 US dollars (£254), the price drops again for his final show, in Tampa on November 7.
