Adele fans have been left furious after they accused Ticketmaster of ‘unfair, non-transparent, and exploitative treatment of early ticket buyers’.
Fans of the singer were left feeling ‘betrayed’ as they launched a petition to Change.org to address the issues surrounding the sale of Adele’s run of concerts in Munich, the first of which kicked off on Friday evening.
Over the course of 10 dates the Hello hitmaker will play to a total of 740,000 fans as she headlines the stage at the Munich Messe stadium, which has been custom-built for her stay in the city.
However not all fans have been able to bag a ticket to the show as they called upon Ticketmaster, Live Nation, and Leutgeb Entertainment Group to address fair ticket sales.
They argued that during the presale initial fans were assigned overpriced tickets, while later cheaper tickets where then released.
DETAILS OF THEIR PROTEST
Titled ‘Expose the SCAM: Ticketmaster, LiveNation & Leutgeb’s Adele Munich Concert Mismanagement’, their statement began: ‘This petition addresses serious issues surrounding Adele’s upcoming 10 concerts in Munich in August 2024.
‘Many fans feel betrayed by Ticketmaster, Live Nation, and Leutgeb Entertainment Group due to their unfair and exploitative ticket sales practices.’
As of Friday evening 841 people had signed the petition, with fans hoping to gain 1,000 signatures.

THEY FEEL EXPLOITED
Explaining the injustice they continued: ‘During the Presale, fans were systematically misled through deceptive practices and artificial scarcity. After being required to sign up for queue links and wait for hours, initial buyers were assigned overpriced tickets, often located far apart.
‘Later, many additional seats were released at cheaper rates better located. The claim, “There will be more demand than there are tickets available,” during the presale registration was a blatant manipulation to pressure people into buying quickly.
‘To make matters worse, new sections right by the stage were recently added at a much lower price. This strategy not only unfairly disadvantaged early buyers but also exposed the Presale as a blatant rip-off.’
