Seriously if Black Ceiling was her musical director, I'd crawl over broken glass to see her live. I might even shell out a record ticket spend for me, for a single act, which would be £35.

We were planning on going to Vegas (now cancelled) end of next month and tried to get Adele tickets as some people in the group are fans. I was willing to shell out maybe 2 or 300 quid a ticket for the cheap seats (being Vegas, prices were always going to be high) - but simply wasn't prepared to pay the ridiculous prices. Just pure greed from Adele it's so sad (yes, if we were in her shoes we may have done the same). Ticketmaster was doing "dynamic pricing", i.e. prices only going one way once the first cheapest seat was sold, and that's up.

Cancelled "because the show wasn't ready". Ridiculous.

1) you would know whether it's going to be ready or not at least a few weeks in advance, and if it looks like there's any risk then cancel it. Or pay to get extra staff in to finish it.

2) she's in Vegas - surely they could have got enough together for a basic stage, sound tech, some security and whatever. Ok it wouldn't have had all the fireworks and flames or whatever she might have wanted, but I'm sure her fans would have preferred that to it being cancelled

But then again maybe she's doing them a favour, a holiday in Vegas sounds much more enjoyable to me if you didn't have to watch Adele singing.

Went to Vegas a number of years ago and some of the groups/artists in the casino bars were stunning (without being household names) and free to attend. Perhaps times have changed.

I have been to Vegas 7 times every couple of years since 2004 (last time was 2017) and it's changed a lot. The first time I went, it was so much fun, things were value for money, you were getting a lot of comps etc. Now, it's extremely expensive and you are literally getting squeezed for every penny (like the amex really!). We do have fun, see some shows, sightseeing, food, bit of gambling.

Brilliant PR from her team , getting her to do a tearful video to her fan’s apologising & coming across soo upset . If she was that bothered about her fans she wouldn’t charge such high prices for her shows - just because she can doesn’t mean she has to .

One days notice - no mention of any goodwill gesture like upgraded seats for the people affected or even maybe a meet and greet , just expects everyone to go through it again with travel costs etc .

I don’t buy her devastated south London PR .

Main headline on GMB this morning, a visibly shaken and distressed Richard Arnold broke the news the nation really didn't want to hear. A huge army of Adele fans were going over to Vegas, some already having arrived, heartbreaking for them.

:nono:

Surely they could have got a stand in for her?

Plenty of look-a-like warblers out there, and with Las Vegas being rife with drugs most of the crowd wouldn't have known the difference.

I'm sure she's really easy to work with and the show 'not being ready' had nothing to do with her whatsover.
