Adele has sparked fury from her fans after many were left unable to see from their floor seats, despite paying around £300 to see the singer during her tour in Munich, Germany.
The 36-year-old is currently performing in the Open Air Arena in Munich, Messe, where tickets were highly sought after and sold for around €300 (£250) to €400 (£340) - with an option to upgrade to a VIP ticket with afterparty access for a cool €797.50 (£682).
The Hello singer is performing 10 shows across the month, but many of her fans recently took to their social media accounts to express their disappointment at the gigs due to poor visibility.
Videos began to emerge on TikTok of people standing on chairs in the seated section, just to catch a glimpse of the Chasing Pavements hitmaker, causing additional concerns for those who were not able-bodied.
One gig-goer racked up over 1.4 million views on their TikTok account after sharing her experience and stated that she was in section B5 where all you could see was other people’s heads.
The TikToker wasn't the only one who seemed to have issues with the view, as many flocked to the comment section to share their similar experiences.
@daydreamers582 its not a seated show! #adele #delly #adeleinmunich #blowthisup #fypシ゚ ♬ Originalton - ᴅᴀʏᴅʀᴇᴀᴍᴇʀ
One commented: "Honestly I was in A11 and it was an absolute joke. Paid all that money to barely be able to see anything due to people standing on the chairs the majority of the time."
Another added: "I was A11 too, I just sat down at one point as I couldn’t see the screens because of everyone standing on their chairs."
"Honestly every show by Adele outside of Vegas is like this. Especially cause she doesn’t move from the same spot," someone else shared before another added: "Same in B14."
Fans began to climb onto chairs for a better view and sparked a chain reaction as many followed suit in order to see the star.

Another video which was posted on TikTok saw a security guard telling those who were standing to sit down, but Adele quickly addressed the crowd and requested for them to stand up again.
One wheelchair user took to her X account and branded the night the "worst experience of [her] life" and claimed there was little to no thought put in for accessibility requirements.
"The organization to get a taxi after the concert was absolutely HORRIBLE. They did not even think about a way out for disabled people in a wheelchair or crutch, I had to drive over big stones and narrow space full of people."
In another tweet, she added: "Also, all the stands (foods, beverages, merch) have big stones in front. How I'm supposed to go through that with a wheelchair? Look how my sis had to push me from the front as I was completely blocked." (sic)

This isn't the first time that Adele has sparked backlash during one of her concerts and for the ticket prices, as many fans slammed the singer for moaning about being famous - despite her staggering paycheck.
Her Vegas residency - that ran from November 2022 to June 15, 2024 - saw the singer reportedly take home roughly $2 million every time she took to the stage, leaving her to rake in $105 million during the 60-show deal, a source told The Post.
Broken down, that came down to $1.74 million she was pocketing per performance on top of a five percent extra if ticket sales – minus expenses – exceeded her nightly windfall.
Ticket sales for her residency in the 4,200-seat arena were going for a staggering $600, with many of her loyal fans willing to pay and attend the intimate concert.
