I've heard from Mireille who is in Vienna for the concert today. Apparently there is no Wifi there so that's probably the reason why no tweets are coming through about queuing.
She was at the venue at 9 am and there were already 16 early entry people. Very little general admission. At 11 there were about 30 general entry and just over 20 early entry.
Hope we'll get some more news later on!

Rockol Translated from Italian by Google:'A journey from darkness to light': Adam Lambert presents its only concert in Italy - INTERVIEW
This time does not have handcuffs tied to his belt, studs on the shoulders of six centimeters or cages to the Mad Max mounted on the jacket. Adam Lambert trial was put behind the camp and the idea of becoming a hedonistic rebel who wants to liberate the masses. "Those days are gone," he says the singer came out of "American Idol" that tomorrow, May 4, will be the Alcatraz in Milan for the only Italian date of her world tour. The dark nail polish is jumping, but the rest is perfect: black jacket with leather, tartan trousers on brick tones, amphibians boots that rise from the ground of about ten centimeters. "That concert will be? I'm still working with the director, stylist, choreographer, lighting cameraman. Certainly put to good use my experience in musical theater and will turn the show into an emotional parable. It will go from dark to light. The songs of the first part will deal with the problems, struggles, obstacles to be overcome. in the middle of the concert there will be a peak. And the conclusion will be a celebration, a big party. the fans are warned: I will make songs that I have never heard him sing before. " Adam Lambert arrives in Italy in the wake of the popularity gained by collaborating with the Queen, and after publication, in June 2015, the third solo album "The original high", something very far from the rock. "It's an electronic album, inspired by the '90s, but all the songs are built on a foundation played by natural instruments. It's modern and classic, concise, organized. And the show will be so." The album was produced in Sweden by Max Martin and Shellback, the two Nordic genes of pop in which they occur sooner or later all the stars, from Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. "Those two are, like, psychic. I do not know how they do it, but can not understand what the masses will love in the future. And they have a great sense of proportion: make complex music, but know where to stop so as not to reject people. For say, every chorus is slightly different from the previous one, but you do not notice if you do not analyze your songs carefully. it's art. no prisoners, as some people say. I am not interested in the world of celebrity, that's all. they do not care bullshit the music business, it is interested to create great music, real stuff. " The title "The original high" refers to the moment of euphoria felt the first time we have done something totally satisfying and the attempt to recapture that feeling. L ' "original high" Lambert was obviously going on stage. "The idea behind the title is that we are all in search of a purpose, of someone or something that makes us feel alive, that gives us a bit 'of joy. Sometimes we succeed, sometimes we discover that the things that we follow are harmful. of this speaks the disc, of this exploration. It is an endless journey. no one knows the answer, there is no solution. " It's a darker album of the previous two ... "Those reflected the person I was at the time he inscribed them. At that time I tried to understand my true identity. Now I got there and I wonder: What now? What do I want to do with the person you've become? who do I want to share? Where do I go? the desire for something, something that you can not define nor grasp, is a state of mind typical of my generation. " Adam Lambert lives in Hollywood, and locations of many songs from "The original high", but was born 34 years ago in Indianapolis. Before you even attend the eighth edition of "American Idol" he has been measured with the musical theater which has inherited the camp taste exhibited in the past. "It was fun, but now I want to create a deeper connection with my fans. And I want to do with songs that are so personal, but they tell things through which we pass all of them. I want to speak to an intense us as a community, as a generation . i think the album reflects a state of disillusionment prevalent today. Above the heads of many of my friends as there is a question mark. Maybe it has to do with the world in which we communicate, with the connection and disconnection concepts. i feel much confusion. We are looking for something, but we do not know exactly what it is. " It also changed your idea of success? "When success was just a fantasy I did not know how much work it takes to do so. It takes dedication, energy. And you have to learn how to cash in. My work seen from the outside is glamorous and the public should look like this. But it's all packaging: behind there is a lot of effort. " When Lambert appeared on the scene in 2009, he made headlines for sexuality "alternative", as he calls it. While newspapers and cheerfully discettavano sites about his homosexuality and activists urged him to talk more and more openly, he pondered what to do. "I had a model to follow. All right, there had been Elton John and George Michael, but they did not come out early career. Six years ago it was not common to be a mainstream singer and have an alternative sexuality, not America. it was uncharted territory. the gay community was excited by the fact that there was a singer like me that is talked about so much. they showed the right way for them to deal with it. they wanted me the poster-boy homosexuality ". While not hiding their sexuality, Lambert did not want to offend the sensibilities of anyone, "especially in a straight world like the music business. In short, you would celebrate what you are, but you know that many people are scared. You just have to look for a point of equilibrium ". Six years later, things have improved? "Definitely yes. People are no longer uncomfortable with the LGBTQ community. It's even becoming mainstream. And you know what made the difference? Gay men who have represented in film and television, and have made it clear that there is nothing to fear from people like us. The fear comes from what you do not know. " The Queen, with whom he will perform in Italy on June 25 in Piazzola sul Brenta , Lambert has found a powerful way to express its most blatantly gay, as when in concert lags behind maliciously on a daybed waving a fan and licking microphone. Freddie Mercury would never come to that ... "Those were different times, if he were alive would be much more open. Not hiding his homosexuality, but back then it was spoken. It was taboo. People say that Freddie has not never did come out, but there are a number of interviews in which he openly admits his homosexuality. he said it, but people could not believe it. it had a great sense of humor. Today in the pop world there is a lot of competition and it easy to take too seriously. Go on the road with Brian May and Roger Taylor, listen to their stories about Freddie he encouraged me to live more lightly.

So, that is how they adjust the height for different venues. Thanks for these instagrams skaschep, I love this backstage stuff. It's incredibly complex and fascinating.

Interesting to hear Kris' feelings about Katy Perry's Adam touting on American Idol. Kris is actually building up to telling Sharona why he prefers not to answer the question about who he favors on American Idol. Interview from March 18, 2016.
Video is keyed to start at Sharona's question.
