Adele announced taking a break from music in September

In addition to Adele's residency coming to an end, another factor that influenced the surge in her shows' ticket prices was her hiatus announcement.

The Hello singer was in Munich for a concert in September 2024, where she announced that she was going to take a break from the spotlight "for an incredibly long time," as per a People's report dated September 3.

The 36-year-old also reiterated that she has no current plans for an upcoming album, with her most recent work being her fourth studio album 30, released in 2021, which peaked atop Billboard 200 album chart.

She also won a Brit Award for the album, making her the only solo artist in history to have won the British Album of the Year award three times.

Up until September 2024, the tickets to the singer's weekend shows were priced within a range of $700 to $900. Meanwhile, at the beginning of 2024, tickets were available at prices as low as $400 to $500.

The hike in the ticket prices comes after the Weekends With Adele show witnessed multiple extensions. According to Business Insider, the series was initially going to run for 32 shows until March 2023 but is now close to completing 100 shows, as it concludes later this month.

Meanwhile, this isn't the first break from music that the 36-year-old has taken in her career. Before the release of her fourth album, 30, Adele had stayed away from the spotlight for over 5 years, creating no new musical work and being in headlines only for her weight loss.

While announcing the release of 30 in an Instagram post in October 2021, the singer wrote:

"I was certainly nowhere near where I’d hoped to be when I first started it [the album] nearly 3 years ago... I've learned a lot of blistering home truths about myself along the way. I’ve shed many layers but also wrapped myself in new ones... I’d go as far as to say that I’ve never felt more peaceful in my life."

Additionally, before the release of her third studio album, 25, the Hometown Glory singer took a four-year-long hiatus to raise her son, Angelo, who is now 11. Her sophomore album, 21, which was released before the hiatus, in 2011, had won the the singer six Grammy awards.
