Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

So apparently I won't be seeing Adele if I'm not willing to pay €650 for a single standing ticket. Such a joke. #adeletickets

As you might expect, Ticketmaster was in vintage form this morning.

Scrambled captcha codes, accusations of being a robot, etc.

Whoops!

Had two tickets for Adele and then @TicketmasterIre kicked me out of the site

And fans were none too impressed when they were advised to buy tickets through Seatwave, a Ticketmaster-approved marketplace

After 40 mins trying for Adele tickets this came up. Surely it's wrong to promote reselling of tickets at that price pic.twitter.com/fQVMaYnIZt

@TicketmasterIre what's the story w/ Seatwave on your site - you're condoning the resale of tickets you sell at 5x the price? #adeletickets

Extortion it may be, but it seems a lot of people have followed Ticketmaster’s advice and are prepared to shell out the big bucks

This is what you’re greeted with when you visit Seatwave this morning.

Capture

God help us all.

And people have already taken to DoneDeal to try sell their tickets

Meanwhile, the #AdeleForCroker campaign has started.

Adele you scoundrel, she should be doing about 10 nights in Croker the amount of people that want tickets!

In short, this is how most people feel today.

Hello, it's me. I was wondering how its possible that I had 3 devices open at exactly 9am and still failed to get tickets. #adeletickets
