Zayn Malik has taken a swipe at One Direction bandmate Harry Styles with a jibe about ‘ticket prices’ after he was branded ‘greedy’ and ‘out of touch’ by furious fans.
Harry dropped the pre-sale tickets for his seven city global residency, called Together, Together, earlier this week and left fans outraged by the staggering prices.
Now, his former 1D bandmate Zayn has called the Watermelon Sugar singer out for the cost of his tickets, which range from £44 ($60.80) to a staggering £725 ($1,000) for his London leg of the tour.
During his Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live on Wednesday night, the Pillowtalk hitmaker made the comment while speaking to the crowd in between his songs.
Dressed in a smart white blazer, Zayn joked: 'Hopefully the ticket prices weren't too high... just saying'.
Swiftly moving on, he added: 'Anyway, who wants to hear another song'.

Zayn, who found fame with Harry and bandmates Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne in One Direction in 2010, has been charging from $83 (£60) to $479 (£347) for his residency, where the theatre holds a capacity of just 5,200.
Seats on the London leg of Harry's stadium tour range from £44 ($60.80) to £466.24 ($642.76), with the standing prices ranging from £144 ($199.45) to £279 ($385.34), and VIP packages cost from an eye-watering £468.85 ($646.50) to £725 ($1,000).
Meanwhile fans waiting in the online queue for tickets to see Harry in New York's Madison Square Gardens were told: 'Tickets for this event have been priced in advance by the tour from $50 to $1,182.40, including service fees.'
In New York, it's also thought the most expensive VIP package is currently priced at $1,667.
In Amsterdam, tickets cost anywhere from €74.05 (or $87.79) to €828.62 (which is $982.38 in USD).
In comparison, Harry's 2022 residency at Madison Square Garden ranged in price from $39.50 to $199.50, while his sold-out run at Wembley Stadium in London in 2022 started at only £45 and went up to £99.
The costs have sparked a furious reaction from Harry's fans, with many blasting the star for making music 'inaccessible' for a large portion of his young fanbase.
Posts on X included: 'This is the WORST presale experience I've ever had. I really thought I had a chance to see Harry since I was 20k in line but they sold out in 30 minutes.'

'Hey @Harry_Styles as someone who's loved you for almost 14 years and went to all the tours, I'm at a loss for words over how much you/ur team seem to have lost touch with reality in terms of residency shows and ticket price. Music should be accessible. Remember how you started.'
'Friendly reminder that artists can disable platinum pricing, implement face value ticket exchange, have a say in their own pricing! Harry Styles you're a greedy a*s b***h.'
'I can still love Harry Styles and say he's a greedy man who doesn't care about his fans as much as he appears to pretend he does.'
'Harry Styles I want you to stand in the put and not let anyone walk in unless they hand you $1200 in cash. Look every fan in the eye and ask them for $1200.'
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Harry Styles for comment.
Oasis faced similar backlash when tickets for their reunion tour were released with prices rising to £350.
When Oasis tickets were released ahead of their 2025 tour, fans were left appalled as £148 standard prices sky-rocketed to more than £350, with many unable to secure a seat at one of the coveted gigs.
The ordeal in fact caused such controversy that it prompted a UK watchdog to investigate the use of dynamic ticket pricing.
After his tour's pre-sales began on Monday, fans were quick to vent their fury at the high cost of tickets, especially compared to his previous Love On Tour, which wrapped in 2023

Since announcing his tour, Harry has added an extra two dates to his London leg at Wembley Stadium, making history as he is set to perform 12 nights at the iconic venue.
It means that the former One Direction star will surpass Coldplay to become the act who has played the venue the most times in a single tour after they did 10 gigs last summer as part of their Music of the Spheres tour.
Previously, Taylor Swift held the most performances by a solo artist at Wembley Stadium after eight shows during her Eras Tour, nabbing the title from Michael Jackson, who performed seven.
The Watermelon Sugar hitmaker will now take to the iconic venue on June 12, 13, 17, 19, 20, 23, 26, 27, 29 and the first, third and fourth of July.
He will be making stops in Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City, New York City - including 30 nights alone at Madison Square Garden - Melbourne and Sydney from May through December in 2026.
