On the X platform (formerly Twitter), a user expressed his displeasure.
“WTF Ticketmaster?
Is this a scam?” wrote the user after receiving an error message when purchasing a ticket.
A British fan is completely beside himself: “I've come so far in choosing tickets.
What fucking losers you are, Ticketmaster.”
Ticket agency Live Nation reported that as of Monday evening, more than 2.2 million people had registered for advance sales in hopes of snagging a coveted ticket.
This is how expensive the tickets for the Munich Adele concerts are:
Seat, grandstand (top rear): €74.90 - €119.90
Seat, grandstand (bottom rear): €149.90 - €229.20
Seat, grandstand (front): €274.90 - €369.90

Beware of ticket usury: Adele concert tickets for up to 2000 euros
A provider on kleinanzeigen.de charges an impressive 999 euros for her concert tickets - there are also shipping costs.
She can't even ensure that she can actually deliver the tickets.
Other users also plan to sell their tickets directly, with prices ranging between 1,000 and 2,000 euros.
Under her offer for 999 euros, the user notes: “I have registered for Adele’s presale for Munich and can therefore buy tickets before anyone else.”
“If you are interested, please let me know.” Together we could then look at the available places and choose the best category.
But there is a catch - apart from the excessive price: Registering for advance sales and having a login code do not guarantee a ticket.
This is clarified on Adele's official website.
