The Hello hitmaker left fans devastated earlier this year when she cancelled her original Weekends With Adele shows in Sin city, citing logistical issues due to the pandemic.
Now 10 months on, the 34-year-old is gearing up for the launch of her residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which will run from November 18 until March 25, 2023.
Understandably seats were snapped up at the time, but those hoping to pick up a resell ticket will be in for a shock – fans are selling tickets for up to £38,000 online.
On StubHub’s ticket exchange site, seats in the front section next to the stage are on sale for £38,000, while others are selling tickets from £19,000 to £22,000.
Even tickets in the upper sections are selling for more than £2,000, while the “cheapest” will set you back £579.
The Rumour Has It singer’s forthcoming shows have been called the priciest residency to hit the Strip – and the price of her second-hand tickets are said to have eclipsed the cost of resell offerings for Britney Spears and Celine Dion’s residencies.
Brodie Cooper, of US PR firm PRrppd, told The Sunday People: “Websites would not charge those fees if people were not willing to pay those sums.
“Without a doubt, Adele’s ticket prices are by far the highest ever in the history of the Las Vegas strip.”
In January, The Easy on Me songstress announced the day before her residency was due to start that she was cancelling them.
In a tearful video posted to social media at the time, she told fans “my show ain’t ready” and blamed delays due the Covid-19 pandemic.
She later explained she felt the show was not up to standard and needed to be reworked.
“There was just no soul in it,” she said in an interview with Elle magazine. “The stage setup wasn’t right. It was very disconnected from me and my band, and it lacked intimacy. And maybe I tried too hard to give it those things in such a controlled environment.
