I see that not one show has sold out in the first week of ticket sales. I would've thought a European tour would have sold better than this. |

There aren't many left at the 02 either if you actually click on the sections and check actual seats, there's plenty time for those to sell out before next year. |

I checked the available seats at the German shows. They have added the blocks with restricted view half behind the stage and are selling those for about 100€. All the other regular tickets are gone. Only on Ticketmaster are tickets left, mostly for 200€ and above. Had they been on the site of Germany’s ticket seller #1, they had been gone by now. And they will be gone soon, I‘m sure. |

We The Circle of Eidolon, like most on here, know that that is the most truthful and accurate part of your posts.

"All are sad Lambert freaks" No they are not. Yes there are a lot of Lambert fans. I'm not one of them, I've explained this to you before. I own none of his music and have no interest in what he does away from Queen. So you haven't "owned me again" because I'm not the person you believe me to be. There are more than four or five people who disagree with continued abusive comments, some of which are not fans of the current Queen + line up. So you've come up short on that too. The people who could agree with you largely don't because of your attitude. And as far as genuine long time fans turning their backs on the current tours, yes some do but there are still many who go and enjoy the gigs. . . Like me or like the people I met at Wembley last year who first saw the band in 74 and on every UK tour since and thought that Lambert was great. Likewise I know many people, some on here, some good friends who don't like what they do now, but we are able to discuss and see both sides of the argument. You seem incapable of that and find yourself either covering you tracks or just inventing a scenario that you can argue against and claim some shallow victory, ie claiming I'm a Lambert fan, claiming I can't discuss or argue and on those grounds claiming you owne me or the argument. It's laughable because for so long your arguments amount to nothing more than insults, and to try a U turn now is a blatant attempt to pull the wool over everyone's eyes.

I hate Lambert and the whole QAL scenario will always do and I think that those liking this shitfest are sad loonies and completely out of touch. Lamebird is an abomination not only to Queen but to music in general. Maylor have become greedy old farts who sell anything for a quick buck and are trying their best to revision history with their lame "Freddie would have loved it" crap and the bloody awful BR movie full of insults and lies. The Glamtarts on here are passive aggressive , hate Freddie and see him as Kind of a threat to their idol. When they are called out they play the innocence and victim card. If there was no QAL section the site would be completely free of those loonies. They deserve everything I told em. And yes - I owned them any time any place. End of story. |

Hard to know what is sold out as they have added a lot of side seats with really poor views that skew what is really left. I read initially they were 90% sold out with singles and VIP seats left. Germany was really skewing the results of the sales as they were slower and Berlin in particular was poor. That has improved and I think it is amazing that a show for next summer is pretty much full. They added a show in England (I think I read that, so don't pounce on me if it isn't so!) so trying to pretend it hasn't sold well, just isn't true! I think most bands would be thrilled with the response. It doesn't have to be a sell out on Day one! The Asia tour is also pretty much sold out, so I think there is huge demand to hear them again. By the time the shows roll around I doubt there will be any empty seats There sure weren't many for the US tour, not an empty seat in Boston and that was about 20,000. The sky is not falling people! |

You said they play to more people in Germany than ever. In 1986 there were mostly stadiums and open airs like Mannheim and Cologne which were packed. They played cologne stadium in 2006 with PR and there were 25.000. Last time with Lamebird there were not even 20.000 in a 45.000 stadium. Embarrassing . Thats why they wont do stadiums anymore.

Well you can argue as to whether it's worth it or not, but I don't see a ticket crises, I just spent far too much time figuring out that the European tour has sold at least 260,000 tickets out of a capacity of 292,000 and pretty much the only seats left are high value ones. Even at an average price of around 80 Euros, (Which I have set conservatively, the average will be way higher than that) then they've already cleared over 21 million euros. How much of that will go to the band I couldn't tell you, but It's undoubtedly more than most of us will earn in a lifetime. Seriously, just let me live off the interest on that for the next 9 months till the shows happen. For a high profile act like QAL, this industry has become a way to print money. |
| runner_70 09.10.2019 18:43 |
But it destroys younger bands as money is spent on (crap) like QAL and no money left for smaller shows. |
| ggo1 09.10.2019 20:03 |
Like I said, for high profile acts. Once you get to 2nd tier bands playing 600 - 1500 capacity venues they are lucky to break even, and promoters wont even try to put on shows unless they know they'll sell out. Bands social media pages are full of people asking 'Why dont you come to xxxx' and the answer is almost always because no promoter will take a chance. Carefully planned month long 20 date European treks that become loss makers because of bad weather for two days in Zurich is no way to run an industry. You can argue that top tier acts should charge less, but in practice all that does is mean greater profits for touts. The biggest rip off by far is the ticket agency fees. Sorry, bit of a bug in my arse about this. My local venue is a 950 seater, it's a great size for up and coming or waning bands. (Mainly bands on the wane that play tbh) They have a policy where they charge bands an extra $5 per ticket sold for rentals if they set the price below $30. Who is that helping? I know most tickets are way more than $30.. ($64 for a Kevin Smith podcast anyone?) but it hardly encourages new bands to come to town. Having said that, Bob Geldof drew less than 200 people for his show so we the audience don't always help. (Shocking promotion for that show... no one knew about it) |

| ggo1 22.10.2019 02:53 |
They have 8 months to sell the remaining tickets, and even if they don't sell them all they earn a fortune. I'm not sure I get your point. If you look at the ticket sales charts in Billboard magazine only about half the top grossing shows are sell outs. (Only 20 of the top 35 grossing shows were sellouts in the October billboard magazine). They are already trending above 90% sales, hardly a failure. Opinions as to artistic integrity notwithstanding, it's already a success. |

I'm only repeating this because you keep repeating the question. Is there a crisis in ticket sales? NO. 8 months till the shows, over 90% sold. Big Advertising push for the remaining tickets probably won't kick in till the spring. And even if they don't sell out, they've already made millions of euros in profits. Your concern seems misplaced. Most shows don't sell out. See billboard chart of top grossing shows for details. Also... not sure why you care. Genuine befuddlement as to what your point is. If they were only 40 to 50% sold you'd have something to question, but selling 14000 tickets in a 15000 arena is hardly a crisis. Especially... and this point cant be over emphasised... as the shows arent happening till next year. Brian and Roger can go home at night and sleep on a bed of dollar bills, burn them in the morning, repeat... and still be in profit. |

Queen and Freddie would sell out a concert in minutes... and they were huge concerts much bigger than what Queen and Adam do these days! |
| AngelR 26.10.2019 15:37 |
MisterCosmicc, Not in the USA though! Queen + Adam played to the biggest ever US crowd in Queen history on the 28th of September this year! Also Queen + AL sold out multiple times the same venues Queen played in the 70s (not Queen and Freddie ffs) By the way, Queen + AL last year's UK tour (about 25 dates) was sold out in less than an hour. |
| PrimeJiveUSA 26.10.2019 18:03 |
You are referring to that free Global Citizen concert they shared the bill with? |

AngelR wrote: By the way, Queen + AL last year's UK tour (about 25 dates) was sold out in less than an hour.That’s not entirely true. The expensive VIP or platinum tickets didn’t sell out that fast. It was the same as it’s now in Germany: the regular seats (including added seats with restricted view) are sold out. A few really expensive ones are left. |
| MisterCosmicc 26.10.2019 22:15 |
“ MisterCosmicc, Not in the USA though! Queen + Adam played to the biggest ever US crowd in Queen history on the 28th of September this year!” That wasn’t a dedicated Queen concert. It featured other artists performing that night. I don’t include Live Aid as Queen’s representation on numbers either, because other artists were there to perform. |
| AngelR 27.10.2019 09:30 |
The fact is that Queen + AL played the same size venues in the USA as original Queen even before the movie. Queen + AL were the Global Citizen headliners, so the majority of the crowd were there to see them. The Life Aid was different of course as Queen were added later to the event so it wasn't their crowd at all. Also, the last Queen + AL UK tour did sell in less than one hour. Overpriced premium tickets maybe took longer to sell but it's not the point. I'm sure if Queen wanted £380 + per ticket in 1980s it would've been taken them longer to sell as well. |

In the 70's and 80's Queen sold out a lot of US arenas but never sold out an entire US tour. . There appears to be a lot of myth surrounding their ticket selling abilities back in the day. In the UK they were huge, but the NOTW dates and Game Tour dates sold out but amounted to two arenas on each tour and they elected to play Wembley which was smaller than Earls Court. . . Most of Europe but not all sold out on both those tours. They are playing seven nights, in the UK, at two arenas next year with between 18 to 20 thousand available each night. Through Europe they play to sometimes bigger audiences now because like the UK there are now more and larger arenas available. In Australia even if they don't sell out the tour they will still be playing bigger audiences than they ever played in the 80's in that country. Both with Rodgers and Lambert they have played to bigger audiences in Europe ( Cosmos Rocks Ukraine and Lambers first show) than they did with Freddie. The sold out Magic tour, despite the publicity didn't sellout at every European venue (most did) apart from the UK which sold very quickly. In general they seem to draw the same sized audiences in Japan as they did back in the day They could probably never equal the 81 South American dates, but I wonder if the original lineup could, I think those shows were a reflection of that point in history of the countries they played, the market places of the time and of course the band. As a live act world wide I think they are as big and success now as they ever where not withstanding 81 South America or The Magic tour. One other thing to remember is that they never reached Led Zeppelin scales of success in the US or The Rolling Stones world wide. And at the moment Metallica, Muse, The Rolling Stones and The Foo Fighters tour regularly at a similar or sometimes bigger level than The Magic tour |
| PrimeJiveUSA 27.10.2019 14:30 |
@AngelR So your point is that this current tour is selling SLOWER in the UK than the last tour before the movie, right? Interesting. Who would have ever thought this would be the case? I'm sure Brian and Roger didn't...much to their chagrin. |
| anadamfan 27.10.2019 14:48 |
But there is a huge difference between the last UK tour and the upcoming one: Last time they played 11 cities all over the UK. This time they only play 2 cities. I bet, that this tour would have sold out already, had they decided to play more cities. Not everyone is ready to travel to London. Or able to do so. Some shows are in the middle of the week. Tickets are also more expensive this time. And you would need a hotel and travel costs as well. Nevertheless, there are only single seats for a lot of money left. I think, the tour still sells very similar to the last one. |

Strange.... There's no tickets available on either ticketmaster or AXS. Are you looking at resales sites? |
| PrimeJiveUSA 05.11.2019 02:51 |
@AngelR...Ticketmaster. Which dates have no tickets available? |
| AngelR 05.11.2019 12:02 |
I can see only resale tickets for UK dates on ticketmaster USA and no tickets at all on the ticketmaster UK....No tickets available for Italy and France at all. Some premium tickets and packages are left for German dates, Denmark and Amsterdam, starting from 260 EUR. There's a sign: 'Sorry! The event is sold out" for all cheaper tickets. |
| PrimeJiveUSA 05.11.2019 15:22 |
When I look on Ticketmaster USA there is SOME availability for all dates on the tour. As a side note, I think they are having big trouble filling those stadium dates in Australia and NZ. |
| AngelR 05.11.2019 18:06 |
You're looking at the resales for Europe then.... NZ and Australia tour is completely different as there are still plenty tickets available and some of the stadiums are huge. Melbourne and Sidney were definitely sold out for a while. Not sure about the other dates. Maybe fans from the 'down under' can update us on the situation?! |

| runner_70 06.11.2019 15:19 |
He meant that the real fans are those standing which is right. No point sitting at a concert unless you are disabled or ill. And most annoying are those who tell you to sit down. If it is a really great show the whole audience will stand during a show. If it is a bore like QAL the whole audience will sit. Thats why the new tour is seats only because there is the danger the audience would fall asleep standing and the might sue the band.

We ask this because we The Circle of Eidolon know that of the 17 dates Queen+ are playing around Europe/UK 11 of them have general admission/standing which is clearly at odds with your claim that the tour is seated only. Before committing to saying anything runner_70 at least know what you are talking about Back in the 70's and 80's every time Queen played Wembley arena they did so to seated audiences only. You runner_70 indeed say much, but know little. We The Circle of Eidolon have spoken, take this as a chance to learn runner_70. There is no argument. |
