Fans go wild for Adele's Hyde Park shows with 200,000 trying to get pre-sale tickets

Pre-sale tickets went on sale this morning for Adele's appearance at the British Summer Time Festival.

The Easy On Me singer announced that she will perform two special shows at London's Hyde Park on July 1 and 2 earlier this week.

Since that announcement fans have been waiting patiently for tickets to go on sale.

Those who had registered on the star's website were given exclusive access to a pre-sale on Thursday morning (October 28) at 10am.

But demand proved to be too much.

More than 200,000 people were waiting in the online queue on Ticketmaster and AXS trying to buy a pre-sale ticket.

Many fans were left frustrated as they struggled to get through, and when they did only the most expensive option was left.

Louise said on Twitter: "After trying and trying and finally getting to buy tickets and the only ones left are £575!"

Meanwhile, others were astounded by the amount of people waiting to see the Rolling In The Deep star.

Laura Nightingale said on Twitter: "61,283 people ahead of me in the Adele queue. I don't have a chance."

Ticket prices for Adele's Hyde Park shows come at a cost though - but if the pre-sale is anything to go by, many fans were prepared to pay.

Prices are as follows: general admission (£90.45), primary entry (£111.85), gold (£273.95), diamond VIP experience (£379.95), VIP terrace (£434.95) and ultimate bar diamond and ultimate terrace (£579.95).

For those who weren't lucky enough to bag a ticket in the artist pre-sale today can try the American Express Cardmembers pre-sale tomorrow at 10am - this is for American Express card members only.

General sale tickets begin at 10am on Saturday, October 30. Save the Ticketmaster link here and AXS link here for updates.

Fans of the record-breaking artist are now just a few short weeks away from the release of what will be her fourth studio album.

30 will be released on November 19 and is already a shoo-in to be another chart-topping success.

One single, Easy On Me , has already been released instantly becoming the most streamed song in a single day on platforms like Spotify and Amazon Music.
