ADELE sold a remarkable 600,000 tickets during her record-breaking Australian tour.
She now joins the elite club of the two other biggest selling stadium tours in Australia — Dire Straits’ Brothers in Arms 1986 tour (where they performed 48 shows) and AC/DC’s Black Ice 2010 tour (12 shows).
However Adele achieved her astronomical ticket sales from just eight stadium concerts.

Promoter Michael Coppel said the figures were mind-boggling.
”It’s the highest-selling tour I’ve ever been involved with, which is quite remarkable after working with Pink and U2 and Fleetwood Mac and Roger Waters,” he said.

Adele flew to New Zealand after her Melbourne show on Sunday night for three shows in Auckland which start today and ends with concerts on Saturday and Sunday.
The British singer has sold 130,000 for her three Auckland shows, which is 40,000 ahead of any other artist in the city.
Her tour for the album 25 ends with four hometown shows at London’s Wembley Stadium in June/July.
The singer stated on stage in Australia she has “zero” future touring plans.
“We may never see her again,” Coppel said. “Adele’s been quoted as saying she won’t tour again, she’s doing this big tour as a recognition of her huge record sales and the enormous demand to see her live. It’s impossible to tell what happens next. Then the future’s an open book.”
The final figure of revenue and ticket figures will be announced by US tour bible Billboard next month.
