I mean she's touring smaller venues than say Beyoncé or Bruce Springsteen so tickets sell out faster and people are more desperate to buy them from scalpers but in no way is she playing for more people or making more money than Bey or Bruce.
Adele is on her way to become one if not the biggest touring act.
Yes, she is playing smaller arenas but that was something planned since day 1. It's marketing.
The next tour will be even bigger.
too bad these don't go to her team tho
