Easy On Me singer Adele has faced a barrage of backlash from her fans after they slammed the “ridiculous” ticket prices for her upcoming European tour following her latest tenure in the USA.
Being held at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, the Weekends with Adele residency began in November 2022 and is set to conclude its run on June 15, 2024 – with the star performing two shows every weekend.
She reportedly takes home roughly $2 million every time she takes to the stage – so with a 60-show deal, she’s guaranteed to rake in $105 million, a source told The Post.
Broken down, that comes down to $1.74 million she is pocketing per performance on top of a five per cent extra if ticket sales – minus expenses – exceed her nightly windfall.
Ticket sales for her residency in the 4,200-seat arena are going for a staggering $600, with many of her loyal fans willing to pay.
However, despite the lucrative Vegas deal, the Hello singer recently came under fire after her fans claimed that the price for tickets for her upcoming European tour was too expensive.

Adele is heading to Germany and with tickets selling out within seconds after she announced the tour, the British singer was forced to add more dates due to the high demand.
Announcing the news of her Instagram account, she simply wrote: “Due to unprecedented demand, 2 final dates have been added.” (sic)
Despite her announcing the good news, many fans were left furious with Adele and claimed the prices of the tickets were too high.
Performing in the Open Air Arena in Munich, Messe, the highest price ticket stands at over €700 (£598) if fans want to be front row.
For those sitting in the back in tiered seating quite a way away from the stage, prices start around €250 (£214).
Outraged at the prices, one disappointed fan wrote on Instagram in response to Adele’s extra dates announcement: “Sorry but these prices are WAY to high.
“You’re only giving rich privileged people to see you live. My generation (1996) is the generation that started exploring first loves next to the music you created. And we are the ones paying a high price in general for living standards in Europe and then we need to pay 400 euro for a standing ticket?”
“Concerts shouldn’t be a privilege only for the rich. There are 10 dates and the cost of a ticket is comparable to a (small) vacation! Would have traveled from Austria, which would have incurred extra costs anyway. It’s a pity… I would have been happy to see Adele live, but not under these circumstances…” another penned.

“I’m a huge fan, but this prices are ridiculous! It’s about money not music. I don’t get it. Lady gaga, Miley Cyrus etc no one except Beyonce & Adele have this absurd prices,” a third noted before a fourth echoed: “Those ticket prices are insane. even the bad seats are expensive. And Since most of the people have to travel and hotels are so expensive during that time In Munich most fans can’t effort to go.”
Concerned about why the prices were so high, an upset fan said: “These prices are way too high…
“I’m a huge fan who can’t afford these prices and I’m starting to think you’re doing this tour for the money and not the fans… this is very sad and makes me think very differently.”
“You can consider yourself the best singer in the world, but asking for more than 800€ for two tickets is a disgrace! How sad!” a sixth exclaimed. (sic)
GB News has contacted Eventim, the tour organiser, for comment on the prices.
