With the announcement of Adele making her way to Las Vegas, fans flocked to purchase tickets to see the “Hello” star perform live. Many, however, were faced with resell tickets costing as much as a down payment on a new home.
While presale tickets were more affordable, with options in the hundreds, they sold out within minutes, leaving fans to depend on resellers to get a seat at the Vegas residency. However, some privately-sold tickets were priced anywhere from $2,000 to $35,000.
Fans took to Twitter to express their dismay with the way resellers have grossly hiked the prices for the show.

In recent years, resell culture has come under intense scrutiny in nearly every aspect of life. The purchase of sneakers, concert tickets, clothing, and even PlayStation 5’s have been greatly impacted by shoppers who mass buy these goods and sell them for ridiculous prices.
“Weekends with Adele” will begin on January 21st at Caesars Palace and run through April. The singer nor Ticket Master has responded to the resell crisis. It is unclear if they will be providing additional tickets for the highly anticipated concert series.
