Why not rephrase the question into a statement and just say I hope they don't sellout because that's where you appear to be coming from.

Sounds like Zepplin hated most of Europe after 1973 (to the benefit of North America).

Well it is only about 5-6 loonie who jerk off on the goat. The rest is shaking their heads in disbelief on what a farce this has become. A desecration of the name "Queen"

There is nobody around today with the talent and charisma of Freddie. Plus 45 years ago there was no downloads or streaming so today artists have it too easy for the lack of talent they have.

Why fret about the Canadian comment when it is coming from Gerry? Anything Gerry writes is bullshit and has absolutely no credibility.

Whether or not you follow the band is irrelevant, and your personal views as per what is Queen and what is not Queen are irrelevant. The point is you are holding a double standard to justify your love for one version of a band and hatred for another. Anyone with an eighth grade education is able to see it, but you are unable.

One is a band the second abysmal version ist not even a band. It is the Maylor show with a twat on vocals and a noname on bass standing in the shadows. A "Band" is active and recording. This is a tribute act not a band. Live with it smartass

Please step away from your drug of choice,,it appears to be effecting your ability to think in a coherent manner. In fact, you go on about Adam Lamberts dress sense and use of makeup then mention Twisted Sister, are you for real. On the subject of King Crimson, no matter which lineup of the band you're thinking of their abilities as musicians would sweep Twisted Sister and Queen and a lot of others under the carpet.

BQT8. wrote: @Real Wanker You have your opinions and very arrogant they are too, and i have mine. Twisted Sister have been going since at least 1973 but your tiny Canadian pellet of a brain ignores that fact. Sister have been a very successful Rock N Roll band all over the world and were good friends of Lemmy & Motorhead yeah that sort of Rock N Roll. King Crimson does not come close to Twisted Sisters thrashing excellence on stage and they were hardly a one hit wonder that is how ignorant you are you buffoon. Int the words of Dee Snider you are a Sick Mother Fucker !

Not a question you should be asking until you stop spamming Adam’s solo work in the QAL section.

It is no different than someone buying on the secondary market and paying three times the price of a ticket compared to the person next to them who bought it at original cost. That has happened to me and it doesn't bother me a bit. That is the nature of purchasing concert tickets in advance or late in the game. They can be many different prices depending. I doubt very much they will be discounting tickets at this point in time. The concert is far enough away that it will more than likely be full by June. They have over 5 months to sell lots of tickets. So far they haven't played to half empty arenas and I doubt they will this go around either. It is way to early to worry about stuff like that.

You‘re talking about the American way. In Europe/UK tickets go on sale and the price doesn’t change. Apart from the newer „Platimum Tickets“ on Ticketmaster, that don’t exist on other platforms. Secondary market tickets are illegal and therefore a big risk to buy. Last year several artists declared those invalid and the buyers weren’t let into the venue. They had lost all their money. And yes: I do care, if I payed more for a ticket than my neighbor. I even care a lot. Most people here would. Until two years ago there had been two prices: 69£ for a standing ticket and 79£ for a seat. (Plus a few VIP seats. ) I don’t like the changes, to be honest. But it’s not the band who decides about this. However, I think these tickets will sell. It’s in June and in London that will be full of tourists at the time. London is very expensive as it is. A concert ticket more should be great for many people!

Will they just bite the bullet and play to half empty arena or will they slash prices and brace for the blowback from fans that bought the original dates?

Good news - finally people starting to be reasonable. I would even think twice about paying those prices with Freddie on the mic. For a coverband this is a joke as we all know. Will be funny seeing them play to curtains and orange seats. People are fed off now with this endless same ol' with rising prices

You do realize the first five shows were all sold out which is why they added the extra one's, selling out five shows in no time means people definitely aren't fed up with them at all but putting the extra shows on sale right before xmas was a strange move IMO.

runner-70 does have a point...this strategy of adding 5 more 02 dates is not turning out well.

The promoters will have mainly decided to add the extra shows and IMO they'll have no problem selling them out in June, there aren't hordes of seats left at most of the nights (can't tell for the 8th as there's no interactive map for some reason) but they've six months to sell the rest and aside from some oddly placed VIP seats which I suspect will revert to normal I think they'll be fine.
