astralla... thank you SO MUCH for the great London recap!! I loved it, but was so sorry you got the chipmunk crap going on! Such a damned shame when you wait for months (or years) to hear the world's best voice in concert, and then that happens! And then your merch got damaged too!! I have never experienced the chipmunk thing - may be it has to do with your level of hearing ability, not sure...I have always had bad hearing - but in terms of damaged merchandise, which I am very sorry for, I had it much(!) worse. It happened at LA#2. I decided to finally get in the merchandise queue and knock myself out after I had received my VIP gift bag (no M&G). After my purchases I put all my goodies in the VIP bag and took my aisle seat inside the theater. Conveniently, I hung the VIP bag over the arm rest (naive!). There was a young lady from Brazil next to me who saw Adam for the first time, and as she was shorter than me and the large lady in front of her blocked her view, I gave her my aisle seat. We had a blast and we stood and danced the whole time. After the concert I looked for my bag, which was one seat over, and it was gone. It was not to be found in the surroundings or under the seats. Ugghh...Not too many people had left their seats during the show as security wouldn't allow them to move forward, but somebody from behind must have grabbed it while I was standing and being very distracted. There was a lot of stuff in that bag - all the VIP goodies plus my merchandise - so I was very upset. It blew over though...I still consider LA#2 the best concert in a very long time. I didn't have a perfect view that night, but it made me happy that the young lady from Brazil had such a great experience. I lost some nice little goodies, but the concert memories will stay forever. Adam feeling so much love in his home town was just beyond. Plus, luckily I still had my purse with my wallet that I happened to hold onto. It could have been worse lol. If there is anything you want from the GT VIP package, I have extra items I would be willing to send, and I bet others do too.

Awww, sizzling! I gave Enerlie her ticket! She came from Brazil alone & contacted me via twitter! We met just before the show. Her original seat was last row balcony! But pflynne was very ill that day & could not use her ticket. She asked me to give it to someone who would appreciate it. Enerlie was the first person I thougt of. She was so appreciative! She is so sweet! We will be hanging out next weekend also. I had no idea you were next to her or we could have met! ❤️ What a story, and what a coincidence! She had a large Brazilian flag with her and we waived it together several times. Fun. Tell her I say "hi". She had such a fantastic time Would have loved to meet you, @pattihum!

Thing is, of the two T-Shirts that I bought I only lost one, as I already wore the other one. I lost the top though that I had changed out of and stuffed in the bag. The booklet/program is gone too. Ah well...lesson learned. I like the black water bottles from the VIP bag...if you have more than one extra to spare, I would be happy to buy one from you some time.

This whole thing puts a new light on Adam's comment in that short interview in Russia where he says he's sorry if some people couldn't make it to the show, but it would probably be up on YouTube, and then he makes a goofy face... I'd sure hate to not see any videos of shows, since I can't get to any of them, but seeing a sea of phones, both from the stage and from the point of view of an audience member trying to see the show through a forest of arms and phone screens, must be really annoying. I did not find it to be very annoying to my experience at these concerts but I think it must be strange for Adam and other performers to see all those phones in the air. I think it depends on how it is done. At one GA event, the person in front of me and slightly to my left was videoing. When she kept her elbow down and her cell phone in front of her, no problem. But when she let her elbow stick out to the side while holding her cell phone, it blocked my view and was VERY annoying!!! I had the same problem at another GA event with a tall guy who was clasping his hands behind his head so that his elbows stuck out to the side blocking the view of everyone behind him. But even more annoying to me is people who carry on a conversation during the song. Singing along or exclaiming "Beautiful!" etc during a song is fine, but a whole conversation with another person is totally disrespectful to others!!!

Send me a PM with your mailing address and I'll send the water bottle, but I think it is a dark blue rather than black! You want the poster and/or bag too? My extra hats are going to family, but the hat is the only VIP item that is available online at AdamOfficial. Also, you can buy another tour program online at: adamlambert.shop.bravadousa.com/dept/2016-tour-merch?cp=35206_81212

Kιℓℓεr Quεεn @beatsoflambert 20m20 minutes ago Maybe He wants to do this but your phone is in the way ???? This is brilliant. I'm amazed, all these videos, but no video yet of the full speech? I had heard he also said 'I love you, you know that' after his phone speech..

Dead thread, but.... I don't think Adam was complaining about all videotaping. Perhaps just vdeotaping from the front row? Seeing a sea of blooming phones instead of faces when he looks out? Perhaps to him it feels like when you are with a friend at dinner and they keep looking at their phone and texting instead of enjoying a conversation with you?
