A "massive" more than 80 per cent of Adele concert-goers used public transport to travel to Mt Smart Stadium last night, according to Auckland Transport.
Adele took to the stage shortly before 8pm, opening her show with her classic song, Hello, singing to more than 45,000 people.
Auckland Transport says record crowds used buses and trains to get to and from the venue.
"The numbers using public transport were massive, close to 27000 on the trains and 7600 on buses," said Brendon Main, Group Manager AT Metro Operations.
"We'd like to thank people for travelling early. The trains were crowded and some people had to wait after the show but everyone was good humoured and seemed to have a great night."
With one concert down and two to go, those intending to travel on public transport should check bus and train schedules as they slightly differ on the weekend.
There won't be any event buses travelling from the North Shore, however, passengers can travel free into the city on Northern Express services from 3:30am by showing your concert ticket.
There will be signage to follow to event buses and trains.
Special events buses will depart opposite Queens Wharf on Quay Street.
There will be additional trains before and after the concerts on the Southern and Onehunga Lines to and from Penrose Station, which is approximately a 10-15 minute walk.
