Adele faces backlash over ticket prices for first European gig in eight years
Some fans of Adele aren't happy over the prices for the remaining tickets available for her concerts in Munich.
In case you haven't heard, later on this year Adele is heading for Munich for a series of concerts in August which naturally has her fans plenty excited.
Obviously tickets to see Adele are a hot commodity and the cheapest on offer appear to have been snapped up shortly after going on sale by legions of her dedicated fans.

Sadly this means that some of Adele's fans have had to miss out, and what's left are the expensive tickets that people are grumbling about.
Frankly there is only a finite amount of space in the stadium and not everybody is going to be able to make it in to see her.
Announcing the concerts online she said: "So a few months ago I got a call about a summer run of shows.
"I’ve been content as anything with my shows in London’s Hyde Park and my residency in Vegas, so I hadn’t had any other plans.
"However, I was too curious to not follow up and indulge in this idea - a one off, bespoke pop-up stadium designed around whatever show I want to put on? Ohh!? Pretty much slap bang in the middle of Europe? In Munich?
"That’s a bit random, but still fabulous! Right after the Euros? Come on England! With the Olympics next door? Go on Simone! And some of my favourite artists playing shows too? Why…YES!!
"I haven’t played in Europe since 2016! I couldn’t think of a more wonderful way to spend my summer and end this beautiful phase of my life and career with shows closer to home during such an exciting summer.
"Guten Tag babes."
There will be a total of 10 concerts from Adele in August and demand has been high.
However, some have taken to social media to have a grumble about the cost of the remaining tickets, with people wondering 'does Adele really need money to sell these tickets for these prices'.
Someone else tried to address the singer directly, asking Adele if she'd consider 'chatting with your team about the Munich prices' as what was left were the expensive options and they were 'out of budget for your fans'.
Sadly social media was also rife with people claiming to have Adele tickets they'd be willing to sell on.
Others told The Sun they couldn't afford the VIP tickets which were left and thought Adele had 'gotten a bit greedy'.
Another Brit told the paper they'd been to see Adele at Madison Square Garden, but that had been cheaper than seeing the singer in Munich would be now.
Giving some of the sites selling tickets a check, the cheapest on offer appeared to be £139 for a spot near the back and off to the side on the last day of Adele's time in Munich, though Adele's site is selling the official tickets through Ticketmaster and Eventim.
Checking out Ticketmaster, the cheapest prices we could find appeared to be the Platinum Tickets, the site's way to make sure some of the seats are still available when the rest have been sold.
Prices for Platinum Tickets can vary day by day, with the lowest figures we could find coming on 16 August with some being touted at €199 (£170), though the cost for these ranged from that to €399 (£341).
Other comparatively cheaper tickets for Adele's performances in Munich included some available from €209 (£178) on 3 August, though again the prices ranged between that and €449 (£384)
Meanwhile, over on Eventim, the cheapest price for tickets appeared to be €334.90 (£286) which appeared on most of Adele's ticket dates.
