ADELE fans need to be Rolling in the Dough to see her in Las Vegas as the top tickets cost almost £40,000 each.

Front row seats for the opening night of the Hello singer’s 32-date run are currently going for £38,716.

Even the cheapest tickets in the back row of the 4,100-seat Colosseum at Caesars Palace cost £579.

Ticket resale site StubHub is chasing eye-watering payments from fans for the Weekend With Adele opener on November 18.

The Grammy winner reschedule­d her 100-minute shows after pulling them just 24 hours before she was due to perform earlier this year.

Fans hoping to see Adele on stage will have to buy tickets through resale sites as they were all snapped up within minutes. When they first went on sale, prices started from £73.

The top ticket price now eclipses those of former Las Vegas headliners Celine Dion, Sir

Elton John and Jennifer Lopez. Brodie Cooper, of US marketing firm PRrppd, said the prices were “by far the highest in the history of the Las Vegas strip”. He added: “Sales sites would not charge those fees if people were not willing to pay.” Adele spoke about cancelling her shows on BBC’s Desert Island Discs in January.

She said: “I definitely felt everyone’s disappoint­ment.”
