With tickets set to go on general sale this Friday, early access prices for the band’s Wembley Stadium gig next June have sparked widespread frustration.

The band’s supporters have expressed outrage over the “absolutely ridiculous” costs, taking to Reddit to voice their frustration.
One fan shared a breakdown of the presale costs yesterday, leaving many shocked at the figures.
The premium “thrust” area tickets were priced at over £300, while front general standing cost £153.
Back standing tickets were slightly cheaper at £110, and seated areas were estimated to be around £89-£90.
The steep prices sparked debate on the platform, with fans sharing their disappointment.
One user commented, “Not a dig at LP in the slightest, but ticket prices are getting ridiculous.”
Another said, “Was up for this gig, but £300 for two tickets plus accommodation in and travel to London makes it a no-go now. Ah well.”
Some fans called for action, comparing the situation to The Cure frontman Robert Smith’s efforts to reduce Ticketmaster fees.
One argued, “The band could 100 percent step in and force Ticketmaster to lower the prices. Look at Robert Smith from The Cure; he essentially forced them to lower prices, and they did.”
For others, the cost was simply too high to justify.
Someone said, “£450 for three of us?! Nah, we’ll take a risk and hope they make an appearance at Download 2026 instead – better value for money if so.”
The band’s Wembley show marks a rare UK appearance for Linkin Park, whose lineup has undergone significant changes since the tragic loss of frontman Chester Bennington in 2017.
Mike Shinoda has since taken on more vocal duties, with the band occasionally enlisting guest artists to perform.
Linkin Park is known for massive hits like In the End, Numb, and Crawling.
The band has sold over 100 million records worldwide.
The Wembley show is part of a limited European tour, with stops in Germany, France, and the Netherlands before heading back to the US.
The news of the tour comes after Linkin Park annouced they were making a combeack earlier this year.
And the tour is named after their new album. From Zero, which is the first album since Chester passed away.
It will instead visit locations such as Mexico City, Tokyo, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Buenos Aires and Rio De Janeiro.
Some of their European stops include Hanover, Berlin, Milan, Frankfurt, Paris, Arnhem and Gdynia.
Scottish fans were recently left fuming by their omission of a date in the country.
