As Adele prepares for her final concert before stepping away from the spotlight for a “long time”, ticket prices have soared to record highs.
The British singer, known for her record-breaking hits like “Someone Like You” and “Hello,” recently announced that her last performance will take place on Nov. 23 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, marking the end of her Weekends With Adele residency and the beginning of an indefinite hiatus.
Originally, tickets for the show ranged from $400 for regular admission to $1,000 for VIP passes. However, the demand has skyrocketed, with last-minute resale platforms such as Viagogo and Gametime reporting prices as high as $17,050 and $18,766, respectively, for top-tier seats.

During her final Aug. 31 performance of a 10-show residency in Munich, Adele told fans, “I just need a rest. I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself and I want to live it now.”
“I want to live my life that I’ve been building and I will miss you terribly.”
She reiterated her decision to step back from music, stating that she has no current plans for a new album. This follows her most recent album 30, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2021 and featured the chart-topping single “Easy on Me.”
Adele’s Munich residency also saw emotional highlights, including a rare performance of “Chasing Pavements“—her 2008 breakout hit that earned her two Grammy Awards in 2009 for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best New Artist.
Throughout the residency, Adele also confirmed her engagement to Rich Paul on stage and praised rising star Chappell Roan, calling her “spectacular.”
As her Las Vegas residency comes to an end, the Nov. 23 concert is shaping up to be a historic event, with fans scrambling for tickets and prices reaching unprecedented levels. Many are willing to pay top dollar to witness Adele live, whose career highlights include three consecutive Billboard 200 No. 1 albums, before she takes her much-needed break.
