The good news: Adele is going on tour, and fans are clamouring to see her now that she’s re-emerged to take to the stage after an extended hiatus.
The bad news: actually getting tickets has proven to be an excrutiating, chaotic experience, with fans facing long waits while attempting to purchase tickets to her upcoming 25 North American tour, which began trending on Twitter when frustrated fans complained about ticket-buying problems with the hashtag #AdeleTickets.

However, some fans had some fun with it, even creating clever memes like this one:

What really ticked off those who couldn’t get tickets, however, was when they saw ticket resellers such as StubHub were selling tickets at a ridiculous markup, some going for more than $6,000:
This is so wrong. I paid $166 for mine. Look what they are selling for on Stubhub? #adeletickets pic.twitter.com/wfXXqbj5bi
