Fuming: Robbie Williams has come under fire from angry fans who have been unable to afford tickets to his upcoming tour
Fans penned: 'Shocking prices for the tickets, I really wanted to go but can't with how much they are.@robbiewilliams'; The prices are crazy …going to a concert is a luxury'; 'I've paid 315 quid for my fancy seat. If this is the future pricing than I'm out as I can't keep justifying it. So sad where all of this is going ...';
'Being rich and having the money to pay £252 EACH for early entry tickets for #RobbieWilliamsXXV doesn’t make you a better fan than any of the rest of us - it just means you have a higher income.'; '£107 for a ticket so high up it would give me vertigo
'"Phenomenal demand" in the "cheaper" seats at the back. You'll be playing to an empty front if don't do something about the seated prices. Majority of seats in the closer blocks are on as platinum pricing or album bundle (that we've already pre-'ordered!) at @AOArena';

'Robbie Williams tickets on presale today - £165 per ticket for Level 1 seats at the o2. In context I paid approx £65 each for Stereophonics tickets and got really good seats at the o2.'; '@robbiewilliams your prices are insane.';
'Fair play to Robbie Williams on his attempt to stop ticket touting by simply charging more than touts in the first place'; 'I’m missing a tour for the first time because I just can’t justify these prices. I paid £45 to sit in seats at the O2 to see another great band recently.
