ARE you ready Sydney? After an incredible first show last night, Adele is back at ANZ Stadium tonight for another sellout performance.
Last night, 95,544 fans flooded through the gates of the Olympic stadium with the same number expected tonight to see the Hello singer.
The amazing event wasn’t without its problems, however, with tens of thousands of commuters trapped in traffic gridlock before the concert started.
There were reports that only 35 per cent of patrons arrived in time — forcing the 28-year-old to delay her concert start time by 45 minutes.
But ANZ Stadium said that while Adele did push back the starting time to allow more people to arrive 70,000 patrons were “in the building” at 7.30pm and 95,000 by 8pm.

#Adelelive2017 was excellent, parking @olympicpark_syd was total crap! Paid for a space, but not for traffic management apparently.

“Five hours in solid traffic to see Adele in Sydney tonight,” one social media user tweeted.
After the fans managed to make their way into the stadium Adele kicked off her Sydney concert with Hello before admitting, “Well, I’ve never seen a crowd this f**kin’ big, that’s for sure. Never, never,” she said.
Car parks at Olympic Park are already full for tonight and fans are urged to use public transport and allow plenty of travel time after transport delays last night due to the sheer number of people attending, and two train signal failures.
