Harry Styles super fan pays staggering amount to see him eight times in one month

We all have our favourite artist who we would love to follow around the world and watch live every night. But for one person this dream has become a reality. Vera Proce, 24, from Groningen, The Netherlands, has been saving up for three years to follow Harry Styles on his latest tour - Harry's House.

"The first show we saw was his second night at Wembley on June 19 which was actually my first Harry concert," said Vera. From there she travelled to the Dublin, Ireland, concert on June 22 and then Hamburg, Germany, on June 26.

Following this, after a ten day break, they travelled to Antwerp, Belgium, on July 7, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, on July 9, back to Germany for the Munich concert on July 11, then up to Berlin for July 20 before finishing the tour in Cologne on July 22.

"We had six really good tickets where it was around €200 (£170) per ticket where the view was so close," she continued.

For the other concerts, the tickets were around £80, putting the total ticket cost at nearly £1200 for all the concerts.

But, that was not the only cost as Ms Proce explained her travel costs, as well as accommodation and food would have been around £3,000 for all the planes, trains and busses necessary to get from concert to concert.

"I can't forget outfits as well, all my outfits increased the cost," said Vera.

"This whole thing involved around three years of saving and planning with my two best friends who also came with me, after everything was postponed in 2020, I had two more years to save and buy all new tickets."

You might think that going to see your favourite artist for a whole month might mean the songs could get repetitive but for Ms Proce, it was all a dream come true.

Especially as she got the surprise of hearing the yet to be released Styles song 'Medicine' while in Amsterdam.

"When that song came on I could not believe it, we were all thinking 'oh my god' as it is not released yet he has just performed it live."

As a massive fan of former boy-band One Direction which Harry Styles belonged to, seeing any of them live was a long time coming for Ms Proce.

"I was not outgoing when I was younger, I was a massive fan of One Direction but I never decided to go to see them," she said.

"When Harry went solo I just thought it was amazing and that is really when I started to grow as a fan of him more."

It was not all plain sailing on tour, however, as Ms Proce recounted the Wembley concert where she nearly lost all her belongings to get to a spot near the front.

"At Wembley when we had already reached our spot my friend texted to say she had got last minute tickets to 'Kitchen'," said Ms Proce.

Kitchen was the best view in the stadium as different sections were named after rooms in a house, after Harry's House.

"My friend offered us a spot in Kitchen and so we ran to try to get wristbands for Kitchen and when we got them we heard the first song was playing and so we ran as fast as we could, I dropped everything in my pockets and even lost a few things," she said.

"When we reached Kitchen I could not believe it, he was stood singing so close to me, maybe around a metre away from me, that was one of the best moments for me."

Having recovered from the tour, Ms Proce still adores Harry and said she wants to get a small house tattoo as something to remember Harry's House forever.

On her experience of the entire tour, Ms Proce said: "I think it is beautiful for him to be able to put a space together where people can be whoever they want to be, I have made friends for life and I have never felt so safe at concerts like this, it was beautiful," she stated.
