Tickets for Adele's North American tour went on sale Thursday (Dec. 17), and her record breaking album 25 and single "Hello" should have been indication that tickets for the 56-date live trek would be hard to get.

As the general on-sale launched at 10 a.m. local time, fans rushed Ticketmaster to try and buy tickets, and droves of fans were locked out of the sale or realized after long wait times that seats were sold out. Furious fans flooded Twitter to yell at Ticketmaster and scalpers, who quickly scooped up much-wanted seats for re-sale (despite precautions that Adele put in place on her website to avoid the situation).

While some fans were angry at Ticketmaster and scalpers, other took their situation more in stride, laughing at the very idea of being able to score one of the hottest tickets of 2016.

Adele's 2016 North American tour will kick off on July 5 in St. Paul, Minnesota. The tour also includes gigs in the United States' biggest cities, including six concerts apiece in New York City and Los Angeles.
