If I have preregistered for Adele tour tickets for pre-sale tomorrow it says on the official website that I should get an email tonight. Does anyone know when these emails will arrive?

I was hoping they'd inform us of how many tickets we can buy and how much they'd be etc...

I've had the email. Four tickets maximum. Doesn't give prices though.

This. Funnily enough hadn't even thought about the prices. Hmm, perhaps I should give myself a limit. I bet everyone has registered and it'll be a farce like the Kate Bush tickets.

Well I haven't even got my email yet - doubt I'll ever get tickets as I'm desperate to see her

No disrespect to Ms Bush but if you thought that was bad this will be a whole lot worse. The touts will be all over it like a cheap suit.

Farce is an understatement. Most people seem to just be stuck in a queue with not many actually getting through to the buying stage.

That is where I am now, I selected the highest price for the best tickets, it then throws me out....rinse repeat. Only now I have to bloody queue again! I should add all those top tickets are now seemingly sold out

Am I the only one who thought it was relatively easy? Refreshed the page on the dot of 9 and got tickets within around 10-15mins. I've definitely been through worse pre-sales...

I think this process is horrendous. I have been stuck in the queue since 9am. It’s still showing that tickets are available. I have lots of friends who are also still stuck in the queue. I’ve been looking online and it doesn’t seem that many people have actually managed to get tickets…lots of people complaining. Also, it states that you are in a queue, but it’s refreshing the page every 30 seconds, then every 15 seconds, then every 20 seconds and checks availability. Adele is absolutely huge and these shows will sell out…so it’s very odd that 1 hour after they have gone on sale and they still haven’t sold out. Unless the system has been set up to stagger purchases. I don’t know. Not a very good system though in my opinion. If I don’t get any today then I might just wait until Thursday. A lot of the time they give out the crap seats in presales anyway and keep the good seats for general sale.

I think possibly it's because that once you get through the queue and they allocate you seats, you have 30 minutes to confirm your order. So people who have been allocated their seats must be taking time typing their bank details.

I've not even got through to the buying stage yet. Seen some saying once they do, and select what they want, once they get to the checkout it actually brings up someone else's order and details?!

I'm going to give up soon. They're probably going to be stupidly expensive even if I do manage to get through!

We're ALL stuck in this never-ending pit that is the queue, that's why it hasn't sold out yet

Tickets for the O2 Arena are anywhere between £60 and £95 btw guys (not including the £9 service charge...what a con)

How much, then, would you pay to see a 16x platinum selling artist who currently has the fastest million selling album in the UK, the fastest selling album of the 21st century in the U.S, as well as having the fourth biggest-selling album in the UK of all time?

I think the price *range* is well justified, but I was very surprised to find that £75 could only get you a front seat at the top block and £95 anywhere on the lower level. Yes, that was out of line.

I was referring to the service charge being a con seeing as most of us are STILL in a queue an hour later, I mean £9...for this? C'mon now. Also, just an update to mount stress a bit, the Saturday O2 date now reads that tickets are "Limited", because being in the queue as they said "Available" wasn't quite bad enough

I'm looking at the Friday O2 date and my queue is still saying "Still available" but that could be a big fat lie!!

I have tabs open for all the O2 dates, didn't feel like I could commit to one only in case it sold out

Was in the queue for the opening night for over an hour. When I finally got through to the sale, the only tickets remaining were the more expensive ones. I'd rather try again on Friday than pay £95.

Yeah, I have Tuesday and Wednesday up to I can't do the Saturday date though.

Don't know how much longer I can do this!

I'm giving it until 11 and then I have to go out. This has been utterly ridiculous.

Just checked Twitter and apparently some lad casually signed on at 10:15 and got his tickets 5 minutes later. F***ing pathetic queue this is

How can Glastonbury sell out within half an hour but for Adele people are still stuck in queues and it's still saying 'tickets available' for some dates.
