Robert Kraft’s attempts to silence Macklemore have backfired spectacularly | Arwa Mahdawi
The billionaireâs attempted crackdown on Ed Sheeranâs tour only amplified pro-Palestinian statements. Itâs been a joy to watch
A few weeks ago, the worst thing you could say about Ed Sheeran was that his music was a bit bland. A Guardian music writer once compared it to âaural wallpaperâ. Which was a little bit rude to wallpaper: there are some very interesting designs out there!
I donât need to tell you what people are saying about Sheeran now, do I? The pop star has been in the news for days after he apparently crumbled when billionaire Robert Kraft demanded Macklemore be pulled from his tour because of the rapperâs pro-Palestine advocacy.
Ticket prices rise for Macklemore solo concert after Ed Sheeran tour removal
Macklemore's removal from Ed Sheeran's tour is having ripple effects on the ticket market.
Ticket prices for an upcoming Macklemore performance are climbing after the rapper was dropped from the remainder of Sheeran's Loop tour for making pro-Palestine comments onstage earlier this month. Meanwhile, secondary market prices for the remainder of Sheeran's concerts have dipped.
Resale prices for Macklemore's October concert at Red Rocks in Colorado are increasing this week, even though the performance was announced in March.
"The get-in price [or the price for the cheapest available ticket] for that show is up 45% in the past 3 days, from $108 to $157," Keith Pagello, founder of price tracking company TicketData, said in a statement to CNBC on Thursday. "That's a surge we can say with confidence would not have happened absent this week's events."

When does being ‘apolitical’ become a political act? An ethicist on the Ed Sheeran saga
Headlines this week have been inundated with news of artist Macklemore being dropped from Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour, following Macklemore’s onstage calls to “free Palestine”.
The rap artist said Robert Kraft, owner of New England Patriots and the Gillette Stadium, barred him from playing in his stadium, and rallied other stadiums to join the boycott.
In response, Sheeran’s remaining support acts also withdrew. Sheeran has attempted to distance himself from the decision, suggesting it was the promoter’s and not his. He has taken an “apolitical” stance, referring back to his history of avoiding public political statements.
