Presale tickets for Adele’s Dublin gigs in March went on sale at 9am this morning on Adele.com, and after virtually queuing for up to three hours, many fans were told they weren't in luck.

By 10:30am tickets became ‘limited’ before they sold out at around 11:30am.

Let’s just say people weren't happy:

25 isn't the name of the album, it's the number of hours you have to queue for #adeletickets

Ticketmaster.ie have since taken to their blog with seven top tips to help improve your chances of getting your hands on those coveted tickets when they go on general sale to the public this Friday.

This time, we’ll be extra ready.

1. Open your account and log in now

“Get the basics covered before tickets go on sale by logging in and checking your Ticketmaster account ahead of time”.

2. Check and double check your passwords

Ticketmaster recommend checking all passwords, delivery address and billing information now, to avoid any unnecessary stress later on.

“Ensure your payment card details are valid and up to date and if you have 3D Secure for Mastercard or Verify by Visa for Visa card set up make sure you know your password”.

There is nothing worse ...

*Enters Password*

Wrong.

*Resets password*

"New password can't be the same as old password".

3. Use only one browser

“Use only one browser window or risk losing your tickets! We bar multiple windows to stop unfair automated programs that shut you out”.

Multiple Devices at the ready!

4. Don’t refresh your screen

Ticketmaster advises you to resist the urge to refresh and stick to one window when you’re waiting in the virtual queue.

“Hitting the refresh button means you’ll lose your place in the queue and, as frustrating as it can get, patience will pay off here”.

5. Follow online updates
