Adele’s latest offering—a limited edition vinyl box set—has left many of her fans in shock due to its steep price tag.
The set, which features the full live setlist from her Las Vegas residency, is priced at a hefty $349.
While it also includes a photo book and some confetti from the show, the cost has sparked backlash from many who feel it’s too expensive, especially given the current economic climate.
Fans Express Disappointment Over the Price
Though Adele’s Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace was a major event, fans were divided over the vinyl box set’s price.
Many who had eagerly awaited the release were left disappointed when they realized they couldn’t justify spending the money.
One fan even joked that it would be cheaper to fly to Munich to see Adele live than to buy the vinyl set.
Others were quick to compare the price to VIP tickets for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, highlighting how it exceeded even those high-end costs.
As the frustration spread, some fans joked that they’d need a “sugar daddy” to afford it, while others expressed a desire for a more affordable version of the vinyl.
One user even quipped that Adele might be preparing for “her retirement check” with the sales from this box set.
What’s Inside the $349 Vinyl Box Set?
According to Adele’s official website, the vinyl box set offers an “audio experience” of her full live performance during her Las Vegas residency.
The vinyl, spanning two hours, includes a mix of her biggest hits like “Hello,” “Rolling in the Deep,” and “Someone Like You.”
True to Adele’s style, it also features some of her banter between songs, adding a personal touch to the experience.
The box set is currently available for preorder with an estimated ship date of early February 2025.
Adele even shared a sneak peek of the box set, which includes the vinyl, photo book, and the signature heart-shaped confetti, in a tweet that emphasized the special nature of the release.
Acknowledging the Challenges of Her Vegas Residency
This vinyl box set comes after Adele wrapped up her two-year residency in Las Vegas.
Reflecting on her journey, she openly discussed the rocky start to her residency, which was marred by last-minute cancellations in 2022.
At the time, she had to cancel her entire 24-date residency just a day before the opening performance, citing delivery delays and COVID-related issues with her crew.
The move sparked frustration among fans who had already traveled from all over the world for the shows.
During her final show, Adele took a moment to thank her team, her fans, and her family for their support.
In an emotional speech, she admitted that canceling the shows was one of the hardest decisions of her career, but it allowed her to deliver the high-quality performances that ultimately made the residency a success.
With tears in her eyes, she thanked Vegas for giving her a “second chance” and encouraged her fans to trust their instincts in difficult moments.
Looking Toward the Future
Adele has not yet confirmed when she will release new music or go on tour again.
At her final Vegas show, she admitted that she was uncertain about her future in music, explaining that it was time to move on to the next chapter of her life.
However, she remains a force in the music industry, with an estimated net worth of $220 million from her tours, music sales, streaming royalties, and other ventures.
As she looks ahead, it seems that Adele’s Las Vegas residency will be remembered as one of the most memorable and emotional chapters of her career, even if the price of her vinyl box set is causing some fans to hesitate.
