Adele Ticket Prices

[Stellaris22]

Saw elsewhere people discussing ticket prices for Adele and that there are payment plans available. Since when do you need payment plans for a gig?

Had a look and it’s £257 for one ticket. It’s outrageous.

You would have to pay me to go to an Adele concert,she’s not that good and has a foul mouth.

She's doing BST at Hyde park and the prices aren't anywhere near that.

I remember paying 25 quid to see Springsteen at Wembley

I was looking at Elton John tickets and they must have thought I wanted to get up and do a song with him for the price of the ticket.

Sorry that was meant to be 5 and 7.

Also doing BST, got tickets for £85!

Tickets for La Traviata at the Royal Opera House start at £11 but opera's sooo elitist .

When I was young living in East London we'd go to gigs all the time and £25 was seen as pretty expensive, a weekend ticket with camping to Reading festival was about £85 this was early 2000s not the seventies. It's a shame that it's becoming so inaccessible.

This is why I loved Prince, when I saw him at the O2 tickets were £31.21 (he had an album called 3121). He also gave albums away for free with newspapers, basically didn't give a shit about making more money just wanted people to enjoy the music. 💜

She is very grabby, after her first album she went nuts about her tax bill (4 million pounds) well yeah love if you make millions of pounds of profits you will have to pay some tax...boo hoo

I'd pay that not to ever hear her dreadful warbling again.

That'll be the Viagogo prices from the presale or in other words, Touts. General sale tickets on sale on the 30th which will probably be lower price but will sell out in minutes.

We paid £300 each for Ricky Gervais which a bit.... particularly as we saw him in our home city about 5 years ago, in a lovely small venue for about £40.
It was ds Xmas present two years ago though ad we do really love him!

It is ridiculous. However, paid 260 to see the police at Wembley arena 13 years ago. Worth every penny (was 37 weeks pregnant but I knew it was my last chance to see them and I am actually 14 in my head)
And I have paid 750 quid to see Adam Lambert and Queen next year with dh and dd (who is now 13!). Its outrageous but again prob last chance to see them.

The artists don't set the prices and actually dont make much at all from live gigs.

Given that musicians don't make as much from sales of their music as they used to, I don't think it's unreasonable. Out of the reach of most people, but not unreasonable.

Payment plans for a gig???? The fact those are being offered should surely should indicate to Adele and her management that the tickets are ridiculously overpriced? Do they charge interest on the plans? Is she expecting fans to get into debt to see her?

Most of the tickets are £90. That's about standard for a big artist these days. I don't really understand the problem.

Yes it's unfair not everyone will get one but I doubt she sets the ticket price

And imagine the number of fans desperate for a ticket if they were half the price.

Someone on Twitter said it excluded 'true fans'. Who says that true fans can't afford a ticket.

I've seen what friends pay for football matches.

Most of the outrage seems to ve because she's a working class woman and therefore somehow should be ashamed of herself.

@CaputApriDefero

Crikey! I'd only pay that if they resurrected Freddie Mercury

I'm with you there. Now he was worth the money.

Ditto

Are you on drugs. Live performances are the biggest earner for artists these days

I paid 240Euro to see Hugh Jackman a couple of years ago during his tour. I sat in the second row and it was totally worth it.

Edele, Nah,

Yeah I wouldnt pay anywhere near that for any gig but def not Adele. Ive gone right off her, and her most recent song is just a way for her to remind us of the range of her voice, trilling up and down and all over the place as much as she can - yeah we get it love!

They’re £90 for general admission. There are some other, more expensive categories of tickets but the vast majority are the £90 ones. Every concert I’ve got tickets for in the last ten years has done various VIP package things, it’s normal now. People obviously pay it so I don’t see the problem.

£90 is still a good chunk of change but not quite as alarmist as £200+. If whoever sets the prices thinks she can sell out then I suppose they’re not too expensive.

I don’t like Adele and from her previous comments about tax and stuff she sounds grabby, but I can’t get worked up about this. She’s not providing a social service.

It's an awful lot to pay for someone who has notorious live singing issues and has cancelled many a show in her time.
