Many Adele fans have been left disappointed and frustrated after missing out on advance tickets for her 2016 tour.

The hashtag #AdeleTickets was soon trending on Twitter, with some people queuing for up to four hours on the singer’s official website only to leave empty-handed.

Fans had to register their details on live.adele.com for the advance sales, which started at 9am. General ticket sales for Adele Live 2016 begin at 9am on Friday December 4.

Adele – who has smashed UK and US records with her third album, 25 – announced her first live gigs in four years on social media, saying: “I have been bluffing the whole time and I am so relieved to finally tell you I am of course coming on tour and I can’t wait to see all of you there.”

The tour, which kick off at Belfast’s SSE Arena on February 29, also includes shows in Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and four dates in London.

Many fans made fun of the long waiting times.

Some even got productive during their wait.

But most were just frustrated by the queues.

Some were determined to get tickets, no matter what.

And after more than three hours, some were upset to leave empty-handed.

But there’s always some gloaters.
