Now, the Irish-Brit songwriter, who played victim in the shows following the Macklemore fallout, has Isaac Slade from The Fray playing support. Tickets start as low as $34.20 before fees. Tickets to see Ed Sheeran and Isaac Slade at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Saturday, Nov. 7 are still available and start at $34.20.
