Do 'in the round' gigs have a higher capacity than normal ones? You'd think, wouldn't you? I wonder what the capacity is on these bad boys.

U2 apparently squeezed 88,000 in, although they had so much tech going on they still had to block out a load of seats so Adele will presumably go well over 90,000. Foos managed 86,000.

 always thought Adele was a sound person, but wtf

ticket prices can be obscene these days, but like with anything else, if people didn't buy them then the sellers wouldn't askso much.  and we British seem happy to pay the highest prices.

£175.

Truly she is one of the most down to earth, humble artists around. A real champion of the people.

I like the fact that Wembley has an arch. I will be outside with nooses for sale next to the street vendors

[Funkyfairy!]

I am actually going to try for seated tickets to take my Mum. (not they are not 175. think they start at 55)

She loved watching the set at Glastonbury, stayed up to watch it all - and sent me a 'sweary text' so say how &*&^* good she was - so unlike my 75 year old Mum

Just be lovely to take Mum to a gig I think she would love

[Dannytc]

Im trying for the £175 tix, The standing bit is actually within the stage, so she will walk around you, and you get to see the entire area from middle.

 

Each to their own though I guess!

Yeah I think so. I remember the O2 Arena tweeting that Muse's first show there on their tour this year had broken their attendance record, so it must have increased the capacity from the normal setup.

£175 (or £350 assuming you're going with someone else?) would get you flights and accommodation in somewhere like Berlin or Barcelona for a weekend. With enough left over to pay for the first night out.

I wouldnt suppose the artist gets much of a say about ticket prices - that seems to be the going rate these days for wembley doesnt it? (Not been for years) I was disgusted at paying £60 for the cure at the arena, but could just about justify it. Its a shame really when you have kids that would love to go and see the like of adele but its just too costly, thank goodness for Glastonbury - though mine are in last "free" year so they wont be going for a while.

The artist gets between 60%-90% of the cash. I think the average is 75%. She knows exactly whats being charged and how much she is getting.

"Glastonbury let me hear you" 

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

In a year when I've seen all sorts of gigs, Adele gets the ceremonial cupcake for Gig Of The Year

That sense of impending awesomeness when she kicked off Skyfall.  Gonna be looking back fondly on that night for decades to come.

My daughter still plays this on repeat. I have a bit of a soft spot for that moment too. I didn't know the song at the time. but my girls did and were screaming every word. 

last couple of mins

- oh & Wembley tickets (xmas presents) were more stressful to get than Glastonbury

Read this last night and intending to watch just the opening and 'Hello' ended up watching the whole gig.....

I feel the need to openly admit I am more than a little bit in love with the woman.

In terms of creating a sense of intimacy and communal experience with a vast sea of people, the only person I've seen do it better is Springsteen

Of course they do. She knows exactly how much she's getting and if she was prepared to accept less cash for her troubles the tickets would be cheaper, but obviously she isn't.

Interesting. Len Cohen is the best I've seen at that. I didnt get that feeling from springsteen at glastonbury.

This 'golden circle standing' thing is in the middle of the stage this time, isn't it? I don't imagine there'll be many of those tickets so I wouldn't be so sure it's that greedy. The other tickets seem on a par with other stadium tickets.
