Adele arrives at the 59th annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 12, 2017, in Los Angeles.

Some tickets for Adele’s upcoming concerts are more expensive than seats at this year’s Super Bowl.
The Grammy Award-winning singer is set to play 24 shows at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Fridays and Saturdays from Jan. 21 until April 16 as part of a “Weekends with Adele” residency in Las Vegas.
But the demand for tickets is so high that prices on the secondary market have risen to more than $30,000 a seat for some concerts.
Yes, you read that right: $30,000 per seat.
The most expensive seat we could find for Super Bowl LVI was $25,000 on StubHub at the time of publication.
For Adele’s concerts, the only way to buy tickets on Ticketmaster at face value are as a verified fan. Most people, however, are not verified fans and thus must purchase seats via the secondary market — places like StubHub and Vivid Seats.
Here’s just a sampling of the truly insane prices right now:
For Adele’s March 5 show, seats closest to the stage were going for $33,750 before fees on StubHub at the time of publication.
An April 8 concert on Vivid Seats has tickets listed for as high as $31,882.
The ticketing resell website GameTime has seats listed at $30,200 for Saturday, Feb. 26.
Not all tickets cost as much as a car, though.
Sites like StubHub, Vivid Seats, GameTime, MegaSeats and SeatGeek all have tickets listed for under $1,000 before fees for a lot of the shows. But good luck snagging lower-level seats at that price.
Following the Las Vegas residency, Adele is heading home to London for two gigantic Hyde Park performances on July 1 and 2.
The London shows are not as expensive, but they’ll still make a dent in the wallet. Right now, the cheapest ticket is $923 before fees for July 1 and $857 before fees for July 2.
