AceShowbiz - Adele's release of a limited edition vinyl box set commemorating her Las Vegas residency has been met with disappointment and criticism from fans due to its extravagant price of $349. The set includes the entire live setlist from her 100-date residency at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace, as well as a photo book and some confetti from the show.
Despite eager anticipation from fans, the majority have expressed an inability to justify the hefty price tag, especially amidst current economic challenges. Many took to social media to voice their frustration, with some even suggesting they could travel to Munich to see her live for less than the cost of the vinyl. Others compared the price to the more affordable VIP tickets for Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour".
"Now Adele [sobbing emoji] miss ma'am. $350 in this economy? [two more sobbing emojis]," lamented one fan. Some fans joked about the need for a "sugar daddy" to purchase the set, while others pleaded for a more affordable option for those who cannot afford it. "Please give us a cheaper vinyl for normal people who can't afford that," one Twitter user asked.
According to Adele's website, the vinyl box set is described as a "one-of-a-kind audio experience" featuring her full live set from Las Vegas. It spans two hours and includes her greatest hits, such as "Hello," "Rolling in the Deep," and "Someone Like You," along with some of her onstage banter. The set is currently available for pre-order and is expected to ship in early February 2025.
