The price of the tickets raised eyebrows and angered many on social media, starting from £90.45 for general admission entry and an eye-watering £579.75 for the ultimate bar diamond and ultimate terrace tickets.

Tickets go on general sale from 10am on Saturday 30 October in what will be the last chance for fans to grab tickets for Adele’s two Hyde Park shows
