Going to Concerts and Events

1
Purchase a ticket to attend a VIP meet and greet. Like many artists, Harry Styles often hosts a meet and greet before or after his concerts. These events give you a chance to chat with Harry, get a hug, and ask for an autograph. While tickets tend to sell quickly and can be very expensive, this is perhaps the easiest and most reliable way to meet Harry Styles.
- Radio and television stations sometimes hold contests to win VIP backstage passes to meet artists after their shows. Generally, all you have to do is call in at the right time or answer a trivia question correctly to win.
- Some VIP tickets also include backstage or premium seating passes, giving you the best possible view to watch Harry’s concert.
- The price of meet and greet tickets varies per venue, but they’re typically over $2,000.
- For specific tour and ticket information, head over to Harry’s official website.

Wait outside the venue to try and catch Harry before or after a concert. Sometimes, you can spot a celebrity walking in or out of their concert’s location. Arrive at the concert venue the morning of or stay after until all the tour buses pull away. Patience won’t guarantee you’ll meet Harry or even catch a glimpse of him, but it’s worth trying!^{[1]

Approaching Harry

1
Plan what you want to say ahead of time. If you get the chance to meet Harry Styles, you may have a limited time to talk with him or be starstruck into silence by his charm. Rehearse what you’d like to tell him before meeting him to avoid awkward silences or rabbles. Keep it short, simple, and sweet, especially if you know you’ll only have a minute or so with him.^{[4]

- Tell him how much you like his music.
- Ask him a silly personality question you’ve always wanted to know, like what his favorite pizza topping is.
- Share a brief story about how something he’s done positively affected your life.
- Give him a genuine compliment about his outfit, music, or general style.
2
Write a letter to give Harry when you meet him. While Harry Styles is known for being generous and spending time with his fans, he’s also a very busy person! With his tight schedule, he may not be able to say more than a “hello” when you see him in person. Try handing him a letter as he walks by or giving it to a member of his staff during a concert or meet and greet.^{[5]

- Write from the heart! You won’t know for sure if Harry will read your letter, but if he does, make sure your words are full of warmth and kindness.

4
Be respectful of Harry’s personal space. Whether you’re meeting Harry Styles by chance or at a planned event, it’s important to remember that he’s human too. Always ask if you can take a picture or have a hug before doing so. Harry may be a celebrity, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like his personal space.^{[6]
