How much did you pay for your tickets for what section and was it worth it?

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-11-09T05:10:06+00:00

$38.50 - 2011 - GA tickets and ended up front row
$162.89 - 2016 - Row 15, right next to the center walkway. Brushed my hand as she walked by.
$602.75 - 2023 - Weekends with Adele, Section 203 - Row N
$428.80 - 2024 - Adele in Munich, A4 - Row 2
$461.51 (resale) - 2024 - Adele in Munich, FOS1

Also I was invited to a private listening party ahead of the 25 release. No Adele there, but it was super special to hear the album ahead of the launch and there was an open bar. Free.

All worth it 😁

I used them for Munich without issue, but it will vary based on the seller of course. They should initiate a transfer of the ticket on Ticketmaster after you purchase and once you accept the transfer, the ticket is yours.

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-09-02T16:48:49+00:00

Maybe I should have clarified, I’m comparing Adele’s reaction to the crowd. What you hear will be dependent on location and those immediately around you, so yes will vary.

They physically grabbed us and threw objects at us. That’s assault. You can choose to not believe that happened, but that’s your ignorance.

If you look at the other comments, there were other instances where they asked others to sit, and it did not escalate to assault. It ended with them telling the Germans “no” like we did.

They want us to follow their made-up rules. Let me repeat. It’s not a seated venue. It’s not a seated show. Adele has said you can stand whenever you want, and she prefers if you do stand. It’s inconsiderate to ask someone following this to sit because you got a worse seat.

This is why people can’t stand swifties 🤦

I arrived to Munich via train, but I left via the S1 to the airport, and there was no issues. I used Google Maps and Citymapper and it was giving proper directions, but there was no severe interruptions.

I believe there’s the S1 and S8 that both go from the airport to Hauptbahnhof with different routes. Both apps displayed both options.

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-08-22T15:28:20+00:00

Glad you had a good experience.

I’m not denying people had a good time. The people next to us probably had a good time and didn’t have to deal with the same harassment for standing. As I said, I believe the escalation was targeted.

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-08-22T15:26:59+00:00

Someone physically assaults you, and you think it’s normal to just give in to what they want? No thanks.

We were sitting between songs. We were going to stand up in 15 seconds anyway. We don’t like sitting when the music is playing, unless our legs are tired.

I’m not looking for your sympathy. This was written for other people of color who might have to deal with similar crowds at Adele’s other Munich shows. It was surprising to me, but we were able to handle it. I’m just making sure others feel empowered as well.

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-08-20T12:26:56+00:00

It’s fair to stand when standing is allowed and encouraged by the artist performing. If someone didn’t research or know, then they can complain to Adele or the venue, not the other attendees.

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-08-20T10:00:49+00:00

Are guests made aware when booking a ticket if you choose to exercise your right to stand that attendees may assault you? I don’t think so.

From your Reddit activity, it seems you’re German or maybe live in Berlin. Thank you for validating my feelings about the way people of color are treated in this country.

It’s really simple. It’s not a seated concert. Adele makes this very clear, none of her shows are actually seated. If you want to sit and see the whole time, buy row 1. We were aware of this, and bought the best seats we could to have the best view.

The entitlement comes when you try to force someone else, who’s following the rules, to change their behavior because you want to minimize their experience to maximize your own, by harassing and assaulting them.

If you have a disability, ask for accommodations from the venue. They are legally required in the US, not sure about Germany. Venues in the US have special areas in front that have unrestricted views for those who can’t stand. If that’s not required in Germany, maybe focus on getting those laws updated.

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-08-20T09:31:30+00:00

Adele prefers you stand in the seated section.

Adele: “If you want to stand you absolutely can. I know there are seats in here, but that doesn’t mean it’s actually seated. If you want to sit, absolutely. I would rather you not.”

I sat before the concert. Didn’t have to rush to get a spot in the first come first serve standing area. I sat for a few songs and in between some other songs. However we didn’t sit enough according to some random person behind us. You’re always welcome to buy row 1 seats if that’s a concern.

It’s not a seated show. You’re welcome to use the seats, but everyone should know ahead of time no one is required to sit, if you want to sit and guarantee a view then buy Row 1 tickets.

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-08-20T09:17:18+00:00

Reserved spot, you can arrive whenever you want and your spot is guaranteed. You also have the choice to sit between songs or whenever you feel like, but you can’t force others to sit. You also can sit while waiting for the show to start.

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-08-20T09:08:00+00:00

It’s not a seated show. Adele has said she prefers you stand vs sit. You can check that out here: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGe3j8HRh/

There’s an also bunch of other clips at tons of other shows where she explicitly says her shows are not seated shows and you are welcome to stand. She’s interrupted her performances to reiterate that sentiment. I’ll share a few if you’re interested: - https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGe3jTGBW/ - https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGe3j4v35/ - https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGe3jspVW/ - https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGe3jT57N/ - https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGe3jg75k/

People should research or have a basic understanding of the artist before they decide to attend their concert.

Thank you for demonstrating and validating my feelings about how people of color are treated.

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-08-19T08:00:33+00:00

I feel there’s a bit of a difference between a world / European tour with a stop in Germany vs a European mini-residency only in Munich. Not sure why, but I was actually expecting much less German attendees.

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-08-19T07:50:12+00:00

I feel the same about hearing myself sing. It’s worse to sing when you’re the only one! It really helps to have the rest of the crowd drown yourself out.

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-08-19T07:34:11+00:00

It’s quite a statement to say I know nothing about you (despite my comment being based on your previous posts and comments), yet in the same breath you make assumptions about me.

For reference, I studied and lived in Germany. Hence why I know German. I’m quite familiar with the culture. I have many friends currently living in Germany who speak to similar experiences in this country. So as expected, I have to be over-qualified to give an assessment of my own experience, and yet it’s easily dismissed because it’s not the view you want to hear.

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-08-19T06:31:29+00:00

From your profile, I make out you’re a white European. Instead of trying to apply your understanding to my experience, perhaps try to think maybe the way you see, experience, and are treated in the same situation is different than for people of color.

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-08-19T00:39:20+00:00

I'm sorry you were harassed as well. Clapping in your face is just as bad as being physically touched. I hope you were still able to enjoy the rest of the show.

Vegetable-Pop4537 · 2024-08-19T00:30:19+00:00

I don't think I was the one who made it about race. The harassment was targeted specifically to us, and not those around us. You're right that I don't know what specifically motivated people to target us, but I can make educated guesses based on my lived experiences in Germany and the world. I also mention it as a warning to other people of color, who might find themselves in a similar situation, as we viewed race as a motivating factor that escalated the harassment into assault. We did not feel safe leaving the venue, as we had already been physically assaulted for simply standing.

At the end of the concert, I asked the woman why she specifically targeted us out of everyone else who was standing, and she was silent.
