So you didn't get Adele tickets...

BY MELISSA RUGGIERI

If you struck out trying to buy Adele tickets on Thursday -- and chances are you did since both of her October Philips Arena dates sold out in less than 30 minutes -- don't start teeth-gnashing just yet.

Lots of things can happen between now and October, and the closer the date gets, the more likely a few handfuls of tickets will become available as the production setup is finalized and artist ticket holds are released.

But if you don't want to wait until then, you can check out these guidelines (or, at least educational warnings) from my colleague Nedra Rhone on her Talk of Town blog.
