Adele's Tour Pre-Sale Causes Twitter Meltdown
Let’s be honest, we have all been hoping and praying that Adele will bless us all with her flawless vocals with a tour of her much-anticipated new album, 25.
The star tricked us into believing that she wouldn’t be performing any more concerts in a bid to protect her vocal cords, but last week revealed that she’d actually been pulling the wool over our eyes and will be embarking on a UK arena tour early next year.
Needless to say, fans of the superstar could not have been more excited, and although general ticket sales don’t start until Friday, lucky priority customers were able to buy them via an exclusive pre-sale today - the only thing is, literal chaos ensued.
Stuck in a seemingly never-ending queue in a desperate bid to get their hands on some tickets, hopeful fans took to their social media accounts to document ‘the struggle’, with Twitter going into meltdown:
Hello? It’s me. I was wondering if after all these years I’d get a ticket…. #adeletickets @Adele

Thankfully, at least some Twitter users managed to get tickets after a whole lot of waiting, and they couldn’t believe their luck:
After 40 minutes of queuing and it may take just as long to walk to our seats on the day I’m going to see @adele buzzing #adeletickets

For anybody who wasn’t so lucky; don’t worry, you’ll have a chance to go through it all again on Friday.
May the odds be ever in your favour.
