It's supposedly all tickets. Not just premium.

So, what you're saying is that ADELE is the one that's trying to artificially manipulate prices by attempting to put measures in place to introduce a price ceiling instead of letting the market decide how much it would like to pay to see her perform?


Yeah Adele tried to do something good and assholes profited off of it.

Upper level tickets in some locations were/are available as non-paperless.

It is Adele's concert and she can set the prices at whatever she wants. If she undercuts herself then so be it.

Chris Stapleton at the Ryman here in Nashville sold out in 25 minutes.



Try 2 minutes.

I was clicking like a mad man.

Also tried to get Adele tickets today for Nashville and they were gone in 2 minutes. I had 4 ticketmaster screens open 30 minutes in advance and didn't get any. Same thing I did for Stapleton.

What's nuts is the Bridgestone for Adele is 20x bigger than the Ryman.

Why? If it weren't for them you wouldn't be able to get tickets at all unless you waited in line for hours.

And if you are willing to wait in line for hours for Adele tickets you should just turn in your man card immediately.

ITT: People who don't understand supply and demand. If people don't want to pay 3x face value, they won't, thus forcing the prices down before the show.

I think everyone who graduated high school understands this. It doesn't make it ethical or in anyway beneficial to anyone involved other than the non contributing pieces of shite who scalp.

You're describing the mechanism by which a shitty thing happens to justify it. That's like saying cancer is a good thing and people against it don't understand mitosis.

But congrats on trying to sound smart.

What's crazy is that you can't even transfer them to a family member or friend as a gift without sending them your credit card or going with them. She has the tickets on lockdown.

BTW, people knocking men for wanting to see Adele are insecure as hell.

That big bitch has legendary pipes. I really want to see her perform live. Her music is incredible.

Her 21 album is awesome.

Music is all opinion anyway so I won't knock someone for saying they don't like her music, but some folks are hilariously insecure to the point they think liking Adele emasculates them.

That is just embarrassing

The best story about scalpers is one I personally witnessed. Back in 1983 or 4 I went with a buddy to pick up tickets from a guy who said he had tickets at face value for the Bruce Springsteen concert. I had great seats and was selling them for face value he then said oh by the way to purchase the tickets you have to pay $500 for this official Bruce Springsteen baseball cap my buddy said ok let me pay for the ticket he paid got his ticket and then said ok now let me have the hat and the guy said you got the 500 and my buddy said no and he bitched slapped this guy all across the apartment with his hat and told him if he didn't stop scalping he would come back and he wouldn't be using a hat when beat his arse. Last I heard this guy had gotten out of the scalping business. True story
