KUSA - Tickets to see Adele's summer 2016 shows in Denver have already sold out - less then an hour after they went on sale.
Adele's Pepsi Center show is set for July 16 and 17 with original prices listed between $40 and $150. There was no presale, according to AEG Live. VIP ticket were also offered, some coming with a $750 price tag.
AEG says on occasion, the Pepsi Center operates an after-market site, but that's not the case for this concert.
9NEWS heard from viewers who are worried that the ticketing process favors third party vendors.
AEG Live told 9NEWS the demand for Adele's concert far exceeded the number of tickets available. Obtaining a ticket comes down to a game of chance.
Buyers waited until tickets went on sale, then, were randomly selected for the opportunity to buy them. The AEG Live representative likened the process to letting consumers into a virtual room, where only a limited number of people can fit.
Tickets are appearing on the secondary market through companies like StubHub and Vivid Seats, for much more than the original ticket price.
Those companies don't actually buy tickets themselves -instead, they're a marketplace for ticket resale, similar to Ebay.
In some cases, their clients are professional re-sellers, or pre-screened individuals with legitimate tickets.
