Okay, so Adele has announced her tour dates and she doesn't have anything scheduled in the Middle East in the foreseeable future.
But before we all add this fact to the long list of things that make us cry every time we listen to Adele's music, let's think ...
This could be exactly the right time to start planning that Euro-trip you've always been dreaming of!
So, here is a handy guide on how to see Adele live even though she won't be coming to the region anytime soon.
1. Find a contact in the UK to snag the tickets for you
We all know that the tickets are going to go fast. It's Adele after all! But, if you have a friend, relative, business associate or elementary school friend who you haven't talked to in 11 years but you're randomly friends with on Facebook living in the UK, they can snag the tickets for you on Dec. 1 – when they go on advance sale.
2. If you don't have a friend in the UK, look at the rest of the EU
Alright, you don't have anybody in the UK? Well, the next best thing is someone in the rest of the EU. They can snag tickets on Dec. 2. If you really have absolutely nobody in the EU, well, sorry, you're just going to have pick through what's leftover.
3. Your friend in Europe must sign-up as a member at Adele.com
The advance access is only available to registered members in the UK and Europe. So, make sure your friend does this. If you're not sure you can count on them, get all their details from now and register for them.
4. Pick a city that you can get to cheaply
After you have your contact set to purchase the tickets, do a little research to figure out what city is the easiest or cheapest to arrive at from your city. Of course, London and Paris will likely have direct flights but sometimes direct isn't always the cheapest. It's okay, you can spend a few hours stuck in some airport if it means you'll see Adele.
5. Also, make sure you can stay and eat cheaply after you arrive
Don't just keep the flight in mind. Sure, it might be 20 euros cheaper but some European cities are far more expensive than others. That 20 euros extra might end up saving you money in the long run.
6. Most importantly, work on your visa from now
The sad reality is that it's not always easy or quick to nab a European visa, so start working on it from now. You wouldn't want to have everything set just to see it snatched away by stupid visa regulations.
Now go get ready! These tickets are going to sell like, like … Well, Adele tickets!
