In several hundred seconds, thousands of Adele concert tickets were bought throughout North America. An estimated 10 million people went online or stood in line last week for the opportunity to purchase tickets to Adele’s 2016 North American tour, according to Entertainment Weekly. A total of 440,000 tickets were available for the 56-date tour through the United States and Mexico. Some fans keeping track of the sale said all tickets were sold in 120 seconds. “Adele tickets sold out in two minutes, and I am heartbroken,” Sammi Steger wrote via social media. Fans reported getting stuck online for 45 minutes or more on ticketing websites. Many of those fans came away with no tickets.
