I don't understand this. She's not a god or something.

They could have charged at least twice as much for ever ticket level! I can't believe tickets in the first sections on the floor were only $169 each. That's nothing compared to most artists at her demand level. (or much lower) Adele's VIP tickets were even reasonable, in comparison to those at or around her level.

She'll sure break records  Not Madonna's tho

Update:

Ticketmaster crashed lmao.

*Thanks to your efforts -- even with what I’m told was easily an all-time record of 10 million + fans rushing to our site -- we delivered a good experience for as many fans as possible.

She probably won't, because obviously that's not her goal. If it was, she could have charged triple the amount for every ticket sold and she could have performed in stadiums. 

With ten million fans wanting to buy tickets on the first day, in North America alone, Adele could have shattered every touring record held, if she had wanted to.

She sure can, If I was her, I would do it

I just absolutely don't ****ing get it.

Amazed at what an out of control hype can do financially. Selling records like in the 90s and making millions cry because they couldn't get tickets. Good for her.

Funny, isn't it? Before Columbia got their PR team to change Adele completely from what she was in the beginning into what she is now, she wasn't really geared towards American success at all. Now she's been hand crafted for the country music market and pop gp. 

PR teams can be really crazy.

i wouldn't as excessive touring would damage her voice

Oh how I'd love to be Adele's Manager right now. Her success in extraordinary! Good on her. She should start doing stadiums.

No, not excessive touring... same dates, but in stadiums and with higher prices... That way she could snatch every touring record held!

IKR??  It's really unfortunate how the scalpers really milk the fans for every penny and viable organ they've got.  SMH.  Seriously, scalpers shouldn't be allowed to inflate prices like they do.  It's so unfair to the fans.  On another note, I'm happy for all of the Adele fans who were able to score tickets!!

I think the best shot was to use the Ticketmaster App on your phone. That's how I got through more quickly both times--no success with desktop website windows open.
