Adele announced her first ever Australian tour, earlier in the month.

And on Monday, Australian ticket websites crashed as crazed fans attempted to buy tickets to her concerts while scalped tickets began flooding eBay.

Ticketek's homepage wouldn't let consumers browse the homepage, as it continuously refreshed every 25 seconds.

Not happy: Australian ticket websites crashed on Monday as crazed fans attempted to buy tickets to Adele's first tour Down Under

Above the refresh countdown, the page read: 'Thousands of fans are online to get tickets right now...Please DO NOT refresh this page'.

The tickets started popping up for sale on eBay and Viagogo less than one hour after they went on sale through Ticketek and Ticketmaster.

Two seats to Adele's Perth show, in March next year, were selling together on Viagogo for a whopping $5,645 on Monday afternoon.

Those tickets sold for just $105 each.

Many tickets in Perth were selling for $749 and in Brisbane the most expensive scalped ticket for sale is $649.

All tickets were originally priced between $101.74 and $305.64.
