Adele Las Vegas Tickets Relisted as High as $35K, Superstar Demands Caesars Action

Superstar Adele announced her first Las Vegas residency late last month. Tickets went on sale soon after, but scalpers have since caused much frustration among the British singer-songwriter’s fans.
Caesars Entertainment revealed in November that it was the winner of the Adele residency bidding war in Las Vegas. The casino giant and music icon are teaming for a roughly four-month run that will feature Adele headlining the Caesars Palace Colosseum each week beginning in January. The residency is titled “Weekends with Adele.”
Ticketmaster knew traffic to its site would be intense when it began selling the Adele Las Vegas tickets to “Verified Fans” on December 7. The 24-show engagement is completely sold out, and scalpers are now looking to cash in on the inventory online through ticket exchanges.
Adele tickets on resale sites like StubHub and SeatGeek are asking as much as $35,000 per ticket. Tickets originally cost anywhere between $100 for nosebleeds to as much as $5,000 for front row seats with VIP packages.
Casino VIPs Reportedly Excluded
Caesars Entertainment is paying Adele a small fortune to headline its flagship casino resort on the Las Vegas Strip. Likely the costliest residency in Las Vegas history, Caesars is betting big on the pop megastar flooding its Strip venue each weekend with fans who will not only pay top dollar for show tickets but spend heavily elsewhere throughout Caesars Palace.
Adele, however, wants to make sure her actual fans are able to enjoy the shows. The UK’s Daily Mail reports that Adele has asked Caesars to not issue tickets to the casino’s VIP patrons.
“Adele wants her fans to be able to watch her rather than having people get free tickets just because they spent lots of money in the casino,” an alleged source talking with the British tabloid claimed.
The Adele residency is already a smashing success for Caesars. The shows have generated more than $50 million in revenue for the casino operator. Billboard believes Adele will earn nearly $2 million per performance.
Ticket Stabilization
The chaos surrounding Adele Las Vegas tickets is understandable, as it marks her first residency. But reports are quickly surfacing that Adele is considering an extension at Caesars Palace. If more shows are added, that could result in ticket prices finding a sense of normalcy.
Casino.org’s Scott Roeben of Vital Vegas often gets the scoop on major Las Vegas developments and happenings before they’re officially made public. Roeben says his sources tell him that the Adele Caesars Palace residency will run not only through mid-April but for two to three years.
“We expect ticket prices will normalize once the current frenzy subsides,” Roeben said this week, referencing the economic law of supply and demand.
In the meantime, Las Vegas visitors in search of A-list headliners can find other marquee acts at more reasonable fares. Residencies expected in 2022 include Bruno Mars (Park MGM), Usher (Caesars Palace), Katy Perry (Resorts World), Cher (Park MGM), Carrie Underwood (Resorts World), Rod Stewart (Caesars Palace), and Shania Twain (Planet Hollywood).

I love Adele music and people say I look and sing a lot like her! I would love to go see her but the prices are absolutely ridiculous!!! It would be great to go to but I can just put on my own concert !!!!
Her songs are so sad and boring! When I go to a concert I like to have fun. This is a waste of money if I want to listen to her voice I can just turn on my radio, but I dont find her voice is attractive or relaxing at all
It’s ridiculous!!! She’s great but not for her fans! It’s the worst - even if she adds more shows I doubt tickets will come down to anything approaching reasonable We live in Vegas, friends wanted to come with us - not going to be able to Can see lady Gaga Bruno everyone for a decent price
I went to purchase three tickets for the April 2nd show I was told that it would cost me $1,200 I hit the button to buy the tickets I was told by Ticketmaster that something went wrong with my order and I was kicked back to the original page went to get the tickets again and they were sold out I am heartbroken that I am not able to go to the show because of something that was not my fault and Ticketmaster said not your fault this is our fault and I was unable to get the tickets which makes me very sad hopefully Adele extends her residency and I will be able to see her eventually I have waited for very long time to see Miss Adele it breaks my heart that the working class people that saved their money for such things as this get shoved to the sidelines because we can't afford $500 tickets and for the ones that were able to get the cheaper nosebleed tickets enjoy the show!!! Hopefully there will be plenty of pictures posted that I can enjoy those also!!
I wouldn't go see her in concert since her and Cesar's are enforcing vaccine mandates, and they didn't even say to show a negative test result from covid like some venues are asking ?♂
Ok i heard of Adele. Her songs are nice to listen to. But I would rather put on iheart radio and make a wonderful dinner for my wife at home. Vegas is trying to turn itself into a high price NewYork city the problem they are bringing the wrong people here. It is going to turn into another run down Detroit government funded Chicago area. Look in the last year the DUI deaths since legalizing Marijuana. How about that football team. Look at the majority of those NFL people are in the news for something bad they did. Just sad to see Vegas go this way just to grab at some of these dumb young people money without looking long term how it will effect Vegas.
It’s concerning to me why the casinos charge so much for her show? I mean I like Adele but not that much to pay such a high price! Must be nice to be able to afford her concert!
The starting prices were stupid outrageous.
I bought 2 tickets with zero problems. My daughter bought 2 tickets with zero problems. The only people pissed off are the people who didn’t get them. If you can’t afford a $450 ticket then you can’t afford Caesar’s Palace OR Las Vegas and should probably stick to the county fairgrounds. As far as scalpers?……capitalism at its finest ?♀?
I did everything I could in the "Ticketmaster" cluster and never got a chance at Adele tickets. Their crazy way of doing things doesn't work at all. The scalpers still got all the tickets. I was ready to book the room and airfare also. That was all my daughter asked for for Christmas and I did everything I could to produce....but no luck. Just bought her the ADELE CD and hope she understands. Shame on Caesars, shame on Adele and most of all shame on Ticketmaster and scalpers.
My gf is the high roller so I've seen many shows free. She's not exactly the Beatles lol.
Ticketmaster is running rampant with more than Adele tickets. Many performers are allowing their fans to be left out with the current Verified Fan listings. You are placed on a list and you may or may not be able to purchase tickets once they become available. Seeing your favor should not cost thousands or even hundreds of dollars. Thankfully many stream the shows as they are happening so that how I watch sitting in the comfort of my home.
Scalpers and Ticketmaster have made it impossible and unfair for the average person. First the pre sale for fans was a joke scalpers took up all the tickets and now want way to much $$$$$. Such a disappointment
Why pay that ,she has become a Hollywood Diva !
would not pay to see her now,the tickets are too much and she has became a Hollywood Diva. Listen to a CD just as good as sitting in the nosebleed seats
