It seams that the ticketsales for the Europe tour are very disapointing. Only Amsterdam and Milan are sold out. In Germany there going to play for veneus who sold nearly 40% of the capacity.Also the Belgium concert have very bad ticket sales. |

Source for these figures? |

Wishful thinking on Mr Snail's part maybe? |

(...) .Not at all, you have to remember that some venues even opened new sections, which means they are selling nicely. Now, if we take a look at some sites like TM, we could see that the sale has been nice. The fine ladies at the Adam Idol did an amazing job in this chart, showing info about ticket sales, revenue etc for both 2014 and now for the upcoming tour: link Of course there's a delay in the information but they update it very often, once a week or so... They even did another chart for the Q+PR tour... |

Ha! According to that, all but Berlin is almost sold out. Good for the boys! |
| Costa86 31.10.2014 18:40 |
Good. I'm still debating whether I should take my ex or current girlfriend with me for the London show, so I am really very happy that tickets are not sold out. Honestly, I'm fucking serious. |

in Belgium less than 20% is sold (website ticketmaster & sherpa) |
| snail 01.11.2014 06:48 |
Berlin only 30% of the tickets are sold. Possible cancelling some Europe dates. |

Because of this thread I took a look at the most used German ticket website and it clearly shows there are plenty of tickets available. Germans only like the classic, real Queen as I always hear from normal people (not crazy fans). Paul Rodgers was already a problem. I remember Cologne, the only stadium date, sold 22.000 but had a capacity of around 40.000. Nobody knows Adam Lambert here in Europe,so why should people go out and pay up to 100 € for a ticket of a coverband? I'm a Queen-fan,so I of course will NOT go, too. |

I'm a Queen fan since 1979. The current line up has nothing to do with Queen, so personally I will not go. In my opinion a lot of the older fans are not coming because Queen ended in 1991. As a tribute to Freddie I was at the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert. A great show, but again no Queen. |

Please, please, please let me keep my sarcasm for the fact they're touring with a 3rd class teenage pop"star" celebrity. But you're right: There are many better and mainly cheaper cover bands on the road...... |

Also the half of the band that are still playing are the guys Freddie joined to form Queen. |

I love when people claims when they have been a fan "since 19xx" as if a certain amount of years of being a fan would make a simple opinion a fact. Roger stated in the billboard interview I posted before that the european tour would be interesting because Adam is not well known in europe and in another interview I saw somewhere else (I cant remember where) he said that the fact Adam is not well known and the reject from some fans, make them feel as in the early days when nobody gave a damn about them. Whatever the case, people forget the whole reason for this tour: They want to play their music, they want to have a good time for perhaps, the last time. And, if in the process of having a good time they also earn some money, then its a lot better, but its clear they are not interested in the money otherwise they would have a high profile singer, instead of a relatively unknown act. |

| The King Of Rhye 01.11.2014 12:18 |
a quick calculation shows that 80.67% of tickets for the European tour are sold................and thats as of Oct 25...........I'd say thats not too bad, for concerts that are 2 to 3 months away! I count 7 shows sold out or nearly so................ |
| The King Of Rhye 01.11.2014 12:21 |
anyone got a link for the Q+PR ticket sales spreadsheet thing? |

He have a few fans but man, they do support his artist! Sometimes I get the impression they are millions, but its just that they cover everything: From tour logistics, to vocal analysis, social networks, etc etc Ive been in touch with a few Lambert fans via twitter and they usually consider Q+AL as the best way to make Adam a huge act. |

Glasgow is sold out. Trying to get a ticket for that was ridiculous! |
| snail 11.12.2014 03:35 |
On this moment the ticketsales for the gigs in Germany are still a littlebit dissapointing. Only München and Köln are going well but for exemple Berlin have almost the half of the tickets still avalible. I think they have planned to many gigs in Germany. The rest of Europe is going well. |
| Martin Packer 11.12.2014 04:01 |
Anyone actually received tickets yet for e.g. O2 on 17th Jan? |

Rather annoying that TicketZone don't have an online order status checking facility too - you have to contact them to ask if they've been sent, and even then you get a generic ' they might take up to a few days before to arrive'. Obviously by that point it's far too late to resolve any issues of lost tickets...... |

ill be honest guys the O2 are apparently so slow with distribution, i booked 3 other dates, newcastle, leeds and manchester, and all 3 of those were with ticket zone and they arrived a few weeks ago whereas i booked my O2 18th Jan tickets through ticketmaster and they've not even been dispatched yet! quick question as well does anyone have the VIP packages yet? the 300 quid ones? |
| zodiac 19.12.2014 11:34 |
(standard) tickets for January 17 arrived today in Europe by UPS, bought via Ticketmaster. |
| snail 19.12.2014 15:43 |
The ticketsales in Germany going better, Only Berlin and Hamburg are a little behind .I think that after the Helen Fischer show, arred on 25 december and the NYE show in London all the gigs are sold out. |

In the end I couldn't tempt anyone to pay £75 to go see someone they'd "never heard of" taking lead... and I wasn't paying for two tickets like I did for Q+PR. |
| snail 05.01.2015 13:48 |
The European tour is almost sold out now. Only in Hamburg are a thousend tickets left. It seams that after the presents in the Helen Fischer show and there NYE concert a lot of people desided to go to there concert in the UK and Europe. |
| OwenSmith 07.01.2015 07:30 |
UK has sold so well that three more dates have been added, one at Wembley Arena. And that's on top of the Sunday O2 London date which was added very quickly. I was told one the phone yesterday to Ticket Zone that my VIP ticket for O2 London Saturday will be arriving by Special Delivery today. I got my cheap seats ticket for Sunday before Christmas. |
| someonewholikesadam 07.01.2015 12:30 |
European tour almost sold out, including Wembley, GERRY! I thought Adam wouldn't be accepted in the UK?? |
