Going to QAL shows? Be sure to check the venue bag policy in advance. (Good to also check the list of what other things are or are not permitted in the venue, such as outside food or water, etc.)
Several of the venues for QAL are changing to new bag policies. Policies may be somewhat different venue to venue, but it seems that slowly but surely venues in general are adopting policies that will make the security check take less time, such as the requirement for clear bags of limited size.
If you arrive with a bag that does not meet venue guidelines it could be a hassle.
For example the SAP Center in San Jose has recently switched to a clear bag policy: www.sapcenter.com/guestservices/clearbagSome quotes from the new SAP policy:
Bags must be clear and not exceed 12" x 6" x 12" in dimension or be a small clutch purse no larger than 5.0" x 8.0" to be allowed in.
Guests with bags not meeting guidelines will be asked to return it to a vehicle or utilize the onsite bag check. Bag check is available for a $5.00 fee onsite. SAP Center and the San Jose Sharks are not responsible for items left at any of the entrances.
Other venues probably have different bag policies. Check your venue in advance.
By the way, Amazon sells a variety of clear bags. They are not expensive. The interior of the bags tend to have a strong plastic smell. Buy in advance and let them air out for a couple of days.
peace&love

Thanks so much for that info. I don't know what the policy is for my venue. But I will purchase a small clutch bag if I don't have one to go with my outfit/shoes, lol. I prefer that to a clear bag.

Thanks for this reminder. I just checked the United Center in Chicago and they do allow purses they just have to be no larger the 14x14 and one compartment. I don't intend on taking my normal purse anyway, lol, it's like luggage!

QAL will be playing Nashville August 15th. For those of you who have previously waited until the last minute to buy tickets (in the hopes that good seats are released just before the concert date) - do you remember when they were released? Days before? Is it announced somewhere? Did you check at the actual ticket office?
If I can get my hands on reasonably priced tickets this go around, I may go. I've had excellent seats for two different tours and was not that motivated to spend as much this time. Thought I'd try the last minute "thing" that seems to work out for some people. I'm not going to be crushed if I can't land a deal, although I do find myself really, really, really hoping that this strategy comes through for me. (Aren't we all so resolute at first.)
FINALLY got to see a picture of Adam in jeans and a T-shirt. Just a little GUCCI.......so sick of GUCCI.

Since people are posting non-Adam Lambert stuff, I thought I would share the new Isaiah Firebrace song, called Spirit. It is really good, and I love his voice. (For those who may have forgotten, Isaiah won X-factor Australia when Adam was his mentor) www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y7gXuNpP-Q

FINALLY got to see a picture of Adam in jeans and a T-shirt. Just a little GUCCI.......so sick of GUCCI. When QAL was in Nashville two years ago I had a Silver seat about 6 rows back and mid row of Sec A. Got it on presale and never really was happy with it. In the mid afternoon of the actual show date about 4 or 5 hours ahead of showtime, Bridgestone released about 5 seats on the front row in Sec 3....extending it beyond the original first row outward. Front row did have 7 seats...now it would have 12 seats. My friend was just scrolling TM and noticed the newly added seats on the interactive map. After calling the boxoffice and were told they still had 3 seats, we dashed over to the venue box office. The price was phenomenal......seems like around $150. I told myself that it would be the quivalent to a Gold seat now in price...since I already paid for the Silver. Us 3 fans went ahead and got the remaining 3 seats. The other two Glamberts original seats were on the aisle on the Brian side of the thrust. They were unsure of which seats to use and decided to just stay on the thrust aisle and not use the wide front row seats. We went back and forth between the various seats checking the views right up until showtime. Sometimes in the heat of the moment we buy on impluse, get greedy...not really thinking it through. Anyway, I decided to use the front row seat...we had 10, 11 and 12. The sweet Glambert who had seat 10 gave it to me since she decided to stay on the thrust rail. Once I was in seat 10, a really nice big tall guy who had driven down from KY that afternoon and had noticed the last minute ticket releases bought seats 8 and 9 for him and his friend. He said since I was short he'd let me stand in his seat 9 and he would take 10 since he could see over me. That put me in closer to the center and I was happy. Downside was because we didn't decide where to sit until almost showtime...we didn't have time to sell or give away our extra single tickets. Looking back on it now.....could have probably done w/o all that last minute stress and mania and mad dash to the box office just to try and better our view a little. I tried pulling up TM for Nashville and it says no tickets and won't show the interactive map so I can count front row seats. Could be ...w/o the little jutout from the last tour which caused various front rows to be shorter .. that the seats are set and they won't be adding any more. From the look of the static map the rows appear to be rather full to the outside. This year we're front row at the end of the thrust....Dancy is there as well. They better not add a row of seats in front of us...lol. I suppose they could have held back a few Platinums that they might release close to time like they did in PHX, the Forum, and a couple more venues...but Bridgestone wasn't listed in that group of venues from yesterday. I didn't check out StubHub so not sure what might be available or how expensive. Anyway, hope you can find some decent tickets.
