Although I attended every show of the last UK/European tour in 2015 online I'd only just become a fan days earlier so I missed all the ticket-buying.
I know that the UK arenas are GA downstairs, seated upstairs and that there were on-stage VIP packages, but other than the on-stage were there any other VIP packages available? Like early admission or suchlike?
Thanks in advance!

More memories!! Is this reslly going to happen again? I hope so!! I wonder if they will change up part of the song list and sing a bunch of new old songs. Couch or chair may be replaced. What all can they change??

If you research ticket prices for artists like Bruno Mars and Gaga, the QAL tickets are right in line. And in some cases, their VIP are even lower. I don't think we can compare the on stage tickets to anything, really. Those are special, there are only a few at each venue, and cater to HUGE fans. Compared to Demi Lovato's 10K VIP, they are a bargain! Oh, I think the on stage tickets are sold out at every venue. I wasn't talking about on stage , although I would love to be there once, I know that is so far out of my financial reach that it won't ever happen. And I really think it is okay for QAL to get all the money they can make from the tickets. It's just that I could afford around 80 euro (85 USD approx I think) if I want to do more than one show. Even then, with travel costs it would be a tight budget. And that money wouldn't even buy me a standard ticket in the US. I really want them to make a lot of money, but I really can't pay 500+ for a good seat. Or am I reading the price table wrong? I hope for purely selfish reasons that the expensive tickets in the EU will be on stage and seated on the side and that the floor will be GA! Also, when the drop in Bo Rhap comes I need to jump. Easier without chairs . No one with floor seats sits, so you can jump Yes, you are reading the VIP prices right. The close seats in the US are $700 or $500.

If no-one on the floor sits you can question why they even do those seats then. Other that they can differ in the prices and get a lot of money from that. If you don't put up seats though you can put a lot more people on the floor. As they do in Europe venues.

They came with some merch. I can't remember how much $ they were back then. I imagine it will be floor standing once again. I don't think they had early entry. Some of our friends lined up all day long to get at the stage rail. Of course, things could be different this time around.....but I bet mostly the same....just more expensive.

Just guessing but I think 500-700 for one floor seat beats the GA gross.

Yes, they can get a lot of money and us crazy fans don't have to stand in line all day to get on or close to the stage. But we sure do pay dearly for it....lol. Some folks sit...but they're outta luck if they are behind Glamberts...lol. ETA: or what Patti said.

The queuing had some charm though. Met a lot of great people in queue. Although I was pretty lucky at how the queuing went on the venues I went this summer.

I have not seem any sitters at QAL concerts in floor seats. Common knowledge, don't get floor seats if you expect to be seated.
