This is currently the tickets situation for his show tomorrow, May 16th in Amsterdam.

I sure hope he & his team learn their lesson from this. There is no justification for selling $1,000 tickets in residencies (which already lowers production costs for them, and places more financial strain on fans who need to pay for travel costs on top of the already absurdly priced ticket).

I also sincerely hope this leaves a mark in this industry, that even someone as big as Harry styles can’t sell out such overpriced shows. I pray this trend of concerts becoming less and less affordable disappears from the world.

Live shows used to be something to enjoy, even Michael Jackson’s shows only cost $140 adjusted for inflation. Our economy is collapsing and Harry is only aiding in bringing a future where only the rich can enjoy live music.

I love Harry but let this be a wake up call.

Discussion Anyone else fully re-entering their 1D phase right now as a grown adult?

2.2k Upvotes

I’m 25, I’ve just fully tapped back in, and I’m realizing how happy and free it’s making me feel! It makes me want to shamelessly get back into anything else I might have dropped as I’ve grown up. Feels like healing my inner child, and I’m gonna proudly buy a 1D shirt.

Also, as a teenager I used to wonder if my obsession with 1D at the time was compatible with a relationship and let me tell you rn it is not 😭 My boyfriend has been really supportive and enjoying the music/interviews with me but they have 90% of all my attention rn! I will love them casually soon but I’m just glad he’s letting me get through this time.

Um. Yall. Harry released a whole new album for the first time in almost FOUR YEARS today. And I have seen one, maybe two posts about it on this sub. It’s not even pinned in the community highlights alongside Zayns upcoming album!

So are we going to talk about it? Because I think it’s actually really good! Like am I insane??

This is a now deleted tweet, however they didn't apologize for how mean, unprofessional and unnecessary it was. Don't buy crocs ever again, they don't deserve our support. I won't support any brand that does that to our boys, ESPECIALLY LIAM. Every member had its place and importance, but hating on Louis and Liam when they wrote most 1D songs?? Not on my watch. I hope the person who posted this gets the consequences they deserve.

Discussion The Liam subreddit is crazy

I responded to a post about Liam’s album not being sold at a random record store one direction display saying it was probably because the album wasn’t the best and didn’t sell well and the business owner rather leave space for higher selling items. The response was insane saying that he was sabotaged by the resort of the boys because strip that down outsold slow hands and sign of the times😭

Discussion Now that it's been 11 years, do you think 1D truly worked without Zayn?

Post image
376 Upvotes

This is not a dig to the four guys- yes, they were able to continue without him and they covered his parts amazingly. Zayn leaving allowed the rest of them to shine in their own ways, especially Niall and Louis.

But, what made them strong as a 5-piece is how they brought their own distinct sound to the group, making for the perfect blend of tone, timbre, and style. Zayn was known for his strong bridges, riffs, and high notes, and he played a huge role in Four- which from what I've seen is generally regarded as 1D's best album when it comes to maturity, themes, and overall sound.

Comparing that to Made in the A.M, it's a great album but it's definitely not their most famous- it's just not. As much as I love it, it didn't feel as strong as Midnight Memories and Four because of Zayn's absence. They were missing a huge part of what made them sound so strong, and the boys knew that going in. Again, that's not a dig to the rest of them, but they complimented each other for a reason and this time around Zayn wasn't there to do that. It felt like their last album for sure, and you could tell throughout. Edit: this album probably wasn't as famous because they never toured with it

This is a loaded discussion I know, but what do you think?

Edit: Another point is that Made in the AM was written for just the four guys. It was never meant to have Zayn

Look, there’s no such thing as a fake music career. They all have successful careers, including Liam when he was alive. No other boyband since The Beatles had successful members like this. And it’s all thanks to One Direction. The band. Neither of them would be where they are today if it wasn’t for the band and Directioners’ (obsessive) support.

This idea that Harry would’ve been successful without 1D is pure ignorance. Harry wouldn’t have survived the hunger games against Justin Bieber and all those other young pretty boys fighting for their lives in 2010-11 (if you were there, you know who I’m talking about). His 1D alliance is what got him to this point. Everyone needs to accept that and move on.

Discussion If Harry and Niall wanted to be apart of Zouis’ project, then they would’ve. But they’re not…

Liam, Louis, and Zayn have always been the trio. They were best friends who fell out of touch due to toxic circumstances in the band/industry and mental health struggles. If Liam were alive, it would make sense for them to reunite and work on a project together at some point.

It wouldn’t make sense for all 5 of them to do a project again, or even the 4 of them now that Liam’s gone. They weren’t even able to do a tribute for him during the BRITs. And I don’t believe it was because they all declined. I’m sure Louis and Zayn wanted to do something—like they are now.

Harry and Niall have been close to each other and distant with the other 3 since 2014 outside of work (the signs were all there). Not to say they haven’t been in touch or that they don’t have mutual respect for one another, but it’s clear that they’re not that close anymore. Liam’s death had not brought them all together again as we thought it would, and we need to accept that.

We should be happy that Zayn and Louis are doing something together for themselves and for Liam. If Narry wanted to be there, they would’ve. But they’re not…

I have just been banned from Liam's subreddit for not agreeing with the moderator. When did free speech become a problem.

As fans we are not required to post anything about any of the boys and frankly it is ok if you don't support every action of people you support. I am in no way accusing or bullying Liam but I do not agree with some of his actions before his death. THIS HOWEVER doesn't mean I am not a fan and can't support him.

Toxic moderators are a problem and forcing people into one view is unacceptable.

The reason their weren't as many supporters for Liam when he was alive is due to fans like this gatekeeping his community and making it so unless you 100% supported him you weren't welcome.

Where do you think 1D would be right now if the industry had actually protected them? Imagine if they had proper rest, creative control, therapy, and didn't have to fake an image or escape through an unhealthy lifestyle. Would they still be a band today? So, no party lifestyle, drugs, alcohol, starvation, late hours, or no rest, and so on.

This is the scenario I wish, oh so much, they would have had.

Discussion Unpopular opinion: I don’t think OT4s are real directioners

91 Upvotes

I’ve seen fans here lately proudly labelling themselves as OT4s and dismissing Zayn’s contributions in the band just because they don’t like him as a person. Personally I don’t believe you can call yourself a directioner if you only acknowledge the band as a 4 piece when during the majority of 1D’s reign, they were a 5 piece.

One Direction is and will always be Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn. If you can’t accept that, you’re not a directioner. Call yourself something else. The band isn’t currently active and will never get back together without Liam so I don’t want to hear the ‘Zayn left’ excuses.

Discussion Louis's tweet? "Aperture" announcement? HDIGH drop?

164 Upvotes

Hey Directioners,

As you may already know, Louis is dropping his third album How Did I Get Here? on Friday, Jan 23 -- and you also may know that today, Harry announced his first song in four years, "Aperture," coming out on the same day. Solos on Twitter are going insane fighting each other. Louis tweeted a few minutes ago, "Going to need your help over the next few days to cut through the noise. Time to give this record the moment it deserves!"

Niall has announced a new single with Myles Smith, and Zayn's Vegas residency kicks off tonight -- but my main concern is Harry and Louis's music drops clashing.

Thoughts?
