Hello, where did all the tickets go? This morning, tickets for Adele's North American tour went on sale at 10 a.m., and minutes later they were all sold out.
The British singer's 56-date tour will be her first tour of North America in five years and will begin on July 5 in St. Paul, Minn., before it concludes on Nov. 15 in Mexico City, as HNGN previously reported The tour is in support of her record-breaking album "25," which has currently sold about 5.19 copies, according to Billboard.
The reason the tour sold out so fast was possibly because Adele teamed up with the website Songkick, which specializes in ticket sales directly through artists' websites and fan clubs to help prevent scalpers from grabbing seats, according to the New York Times. The same website handled a reported 40 percent of the singer's concert tickets in Britain and blocked about 53,000 sales to known or likely scalpers.
Many of Adele's fans took to Twitter to voice their disappointment in not scoring the hot-ticket item. Check out some of the funny tweets below!
