Don't worry: She hasn't postponed her concert again or moved it to an even bigger venue. Instead, the news today for Adele fans is simply that extra seats to her Aug. 24 date at Xcel Energy Center will go on sale Wednesday at noon, and they will only be sold in person at the arena's box office.

Word from arena reps is there will be "a couple hundred" seats available. They did not name which price (original tickets were $29.50, $50, $75, $89). Fans can line up starting at 11 a.m. on Wednesday for the lottery-style sale. Each person in line will get a numbered ticket, and one number will be drawn at random to determine the start of the line. Hence, there's no need to line up before 11 a.m. There's a two-ticket limit per person. No new tickets will be sold online through Ticketmaster. Take that, scalpers!
