LONDON -- General sale tickets for Adele's 2016 European tour went on sale at 9 a.m. GMT on Friday and, as expected, sold out within minutes.

Following the problems that occurred with advance ticket sales on Tuesday, many attempting to buy tickets expected a smoother purchasing process to be organised ahead of today's release.

According to the BBC, fans did not experience a repeat of Tuesday's security breach, in which ticket buyers were met with event details and shipping information that did not match with what they had previously entered.

However, swathes of fans took to Twitter to express their upset at queuing for up to three hours only to be offered tickets being resold at as much as 30 times face value.

But there is a silver lining. For fans that missed out, Adele has added a number of tour dates in Manchester, London, Birmingham, Zurich, Amstersdam and Antwerp that will go on sale at 9 a.m. GMT (10 a.m. CET) on Monday, Dec. 7. Full dates and details are available on adele.com.

Until then, here are some tweets from fans that unsuccessfully got stuck into the Adele ticket brawl.
