Someone is selling their Adele tickets in Boston for over $10,000 a piece
Interested in saying “hello’’ to Adele when she comes to the TD Garden for two shows in September? You could find yourself out as much as $10,000 for a ticket.
That’s right, as of Monday evening, the most expensive tickets being sold on StubHub for Adele’s September 14 or 15 sold-out shows were $10,450 each. The seller has two VIP tickets available each night in section C near the stage.
Most tickets being sold don’t give quite the same sticker shock—but they’re still costly.
The floor or loge sections on average cost between $1,000 and $2,000 on StubHub. That’s about 10 times more expensive than the original ticket prices of $35-$145 when they when on sale December 17. Those sold out in minutes.
Between both Boston shows, there were 24 sellers with ticket prices listed over $2,000 as of Monday evening.
The cheapest tickets being sold are for the Wednesday show and cost $244 for balcony seats tucked high toward the sides of the stage.
For the “25’’ tour, Adele teamed up with Songkick, a site that specializes in ticket sales through artists’ websites and fan clubs, to sell 235,000 tickets through Adele.com, according to The New York Times. By tracking the customers who tried to place orders, the company said it was able to block sales to known or likely scalpers. This also made less tickets available through resale sites, like StubHub.
