Adele is receiving backlash over the extortionate price of her limited edition vinyl box set, featuring the entire live setlist from her Las Vegas residency.
Despite also including a photo book and some confetti from the show as part of the purchase, fans were distraught to learn the box set cost a whopping $349.
Although many were looking forward to buying the vinyl box set, recorded over her 100-date residency at the historic Colosseum in Caesars Palace, the majority could not justify the hefty price tag.
One even tweeted that it ‘was cheaper’ for them to fly to Munich ‘to see’ the superstar ‘live than this vinyl.’
Another marveled at ‘the price being higher than [Taylor Swift’s] Eras Tour VIP tickets.’
‘Now Adele [sobbing emoji] miss ma’am. $350 in this economy? [two more sobbing emojis].’

Others joked they would need a ‘sugar daddy’ to purchase the item for them.
‘Please give us a cheaper vinyl for normal people who can’t afford that,’ one X user pleaded.
Another fan theorized that Adele was getting her ‘retirement check ready.’
According to Adele’s website, the vinyl box set is a ‘one-of-a-kind audio experience of Adele’s full live set from her groundbreaking Las Vegas performance.’
The vinyl spans two hours and features tracks across her entire catalog, including her biggest hits like Hello, Rolling in the Deep and Someone Like You.
Additionally, ‘in true Adele fashion’ some of her banter between songs made the cut.
The item is on preorder and has an estimated ship date of early February 2025.
On Tuesday, Adele tweeted a video showing a sneak peek of the vinyl, photo book and heart-shaped confetti.

‘To commemorate the ending of my residency in Las Vegas, I’m making a limited edition vinyl box set featuring the entire live setlist, a photo book, and even confetti from the show,’ she wrote on X.

‘It’s time for the next chapter and it’s time for the next season of my life.’
The star also gave a nod to her family, son Angelo, and fiancée Rich Paul in her tear-jerking speech.
At the end of her performance, Adele recalled the start of her stint in Sin City as ‘f****** rocky’ and described 2022, which saw her cancel gigs less than 24 hours before the first show, as the ‘worst year of her life’.
Her entire 24-date residency was scrapped at the 11th hour after claims that half her team had Covid and they ‘ran out of time’ for the show to be ready.
One X user said they initially were going to ask for the item for Christmas until seeing the price
Others joked they would need a ‘sugar daddy’ to purchase the item for them
‘Girl I’m upset because I’ve been an Adele fan since 2009 and this is FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS like ma’am can we just get the vinyl??’
More upset fans called the price ‘actually insane’
Another theorized that Adele was getting her ‘retirement check ready’
‘It looks great but $349 is crazy,’ another agreed
One disappointed fan said the price made them ‘depressed’
On stage on Saturday night, Adele chugged a glass of wine and told the huge audience of 5,000 fans, in a clip shared to X: ‘I am so sad that this residency is over and I am so glad that it happened I really, really am.
‘It got off to such a f****** rocky rocky way, it was one of the worst years of my life. I was being punched around, it was horrible and I was told it was career suicide and Vegas would never forgive me for [cancelling] so last minute.’
Choking back tears she continued: ‘But we were talking as a team team earlier, That’s when I first started crying, had I done that show I cancelled, I certainly wouldn’t be standing her tonight doing my 100 show here.’
She went on: ‘If something doesn’t feel right to you, in anything, don’t f****** do it it doesn’t matter what, and I am talking about gut instinct, if something doesn’t feel right don’t do it.’
‘I am bursting with pride and I am so proud of myself and so proud of my team, the band, my fans I’m so thankful to Vegas for giving me that second chance.’

Following her speech she made her way into the audience where she embraced Rich, 43, after finally confirming their engagement in August, and her son, whom she shares with ex-husband Simon Konecki, 50.
Back in 2022 fans paying between $85 and $12,000 for a ticket – or up to $30,000 on the black market – had already travelled to Las Vegas from all over the world including the UK for the opening gig.
But with just 24 hours to go the British star cancelled her entire 24-night run, which was due to make her $685,000 (£500,000) per performance before merchandising – a Vegas record.
‘Weekends With Adele’ was due to run through April in Las Vegas, with all available tickets sold out. In an Instagram post, a visibly upset Adele said: ‘I’m so sorry, but my show ain’t ready’, saying they ‘ran out of time’.
‘We’ve tried absolutely everything we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you, but we’ve been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID. Half my crew and team are [ill] with Covid and still are, and it’s been impossible to finish the show.
She went on: ‘I’m gutted — I’m sorry it’s so last minute, we’ve been awake for over 30 hours trying to figure it out and we’ve run out of time,’ she continued, as her voice started to break. ‘I’m so upset and I’m really embarrassed and so sorry to everyone that traveled to get [to the show]. I’m really, really sorry.’
