ok guys here is a good idea of whats happening as far as ticket sales for 2006 tour washington-only 650 65.00 seats remain,close to sell out philly-2/3 of spectrum sold.mostly end lower and upper levels is all that remains san diego-really moving fast now-2/3 full and selling quickly after 1st wave of promotion toronto 3/4 full and will no doubt be a sellout anaheim-big suprise in that the played that dump in fall,tix are moving well.end seats only remain milwaukee-about 3/4 full in a rather large venue.will sell out buildings half full or more include Detroit,cleveland,Vegas,Vancouver and chicago here are the venues/cities that are struggling: Miami,Jacksonville,NY(that will change)and St Paul. i did not get info on some of the others.i must say things are looking much better every day.I was getting worried! |

stateside fan 13.01.2006 22:26 |

Can You provide a link please for source of ticket sales info? |
stateside fan 13.01.2006 22:55 |
Rip,im using ticketmaster.com,and i work for Both the Inquirer and Daily news in philly as a private marketing company.a pal gets me the exact info on shows he knows about.Smitty,perhaps HSBC center is not a ticketmaster venue as all tickets appear to be thru tickets.com.all 99.00 premium seats are gone and whats left are mid level side stage and the very back of floor,actually a third level ticket.looks pretty good as far as sales go. |
Saint Jiub 13.01.2006 23:03 |

Keep in mind people, it's still right after the holidays, not alot of people have money at the moment, and we're coming up on tax season...bad times indeed. I bought my tickets for San Diego, and they were a pretty penny for 13th row, but not everyone has the money to go see a concert at the moment!! |

Hey Stateside - Do you have any info on how to get tickets in the front row of Sect 103 for the Spectrum here in Philly? I got a Platinum package, but I'm in sec. 101 - I'd rather be on Bri's side of the stage. Any info would be greatly appreciated, especially since the folks at Artist Arena have told me that if I found tickets where I wanted to sit were available, they'd work with/for me to get them. Thanks. |
stateside fan 23.01.2006 12:12 |
Yes-go to stubhub.com and there are seats exactly where you want.may be a few more bucks but not outrageous..Good Luck! |

Thanks.Check to see if any tickets are available thru artist arena on that side... In Cleveland, the original tickets I purchased the day that they went on sale were on Danny's side....I was pissed that the other side was unavailable. Three weeks ago, I checked again, and the tickets for Brians side were available. I called them, and they gladly switched me tickets. |

In St. Paul our local newspaper is the Pioneer Press. Every Thursday they put out an entertainment section called Weekend Life which showcases what is where for the weekend and into the next week. There is a feature called Tickets On Sale / Stage that has a list of upcoming events of all kinds, and the list has the current month plus two, three, sometimes four and, at times, many more months out than that. Queen+ has never been listed in March (March 26 to be exact.) Last week I emailed the Pioneer Press asking them why that is, and I requested they include Return Of The Champions in their music critique section. I did not get an answer, although I did not expect that I would. Unless people are linked to a Queen website or are linked to Ticketmaster for email notices, they would have no way of knowing Queen+ is going to be in town. There was a quarter page ad in the paper maybe two months ago, and I have not seen it since, although I do not get the paper every day. February 2, Thursday, is when the Weekend Life section comes out again. Maybe the listing will be in it this time. The newspaper ad was a bit strange, I thought, because it showed the crowd but did not showcase the performers, although I believe it is the cover of the ROTC DVD. I saw something online where the Xcel is having a dinner and/or a meet-the-band occasion, pre-concert, for an additional price, of course. The Xcel is fairly new, so apparently it has banquet facilities onsite. The ad: link |

that is silly that these smaller markets dont promote more.Carbo how about the rock stations,are they talking about it?maybe they will do a massive hit at the end but that is risky because people may have already spent entertainment $ elsewhere. |

Not in my home. Not in my car. And not for many, many years. There is something about DJ chatter that drives me crazy. (It's no wonder I never heard of Queen until 2004!) I have Music Choice through cable tv at home, and I really like that - no commericals, no mindless yapping. So, I don't know what the radio stations are saying. Anyone else? |

I hope all you guys enjoy the concerts! I was at Sheffield, I wish I could be in America to watch these shows but unfortunately I can't. I hope everywhere sells out. I was foolish enough to leave buying my tickets 3 hours after they were released so I could only get a seat right near the back! All the UK sold out within a day, and the places played were bigger than where QPR are playing in the USA I believe. For any doubters, the atmosphere was phenominal, great show. |

I went on Ticketmaster to get a closer look at the pre-concert buffet details. You must buy at least two tickets. Is anyone going to this? Do the band members show up at these things? link |

the La show(anahiem) only has 350 seats left.looks like a bigger % of these shows will sell out then most of us thought. |

wow, looks like most of the $125 seats for the Chicago show are almost gone. And the $65 sections seem to be filling up pretty well. |
