Yeah, I don't believe that. That was my show. Since I was selling several tickets on StubHub I know how much in demand those tickets were. They were much easier to sell than the tickets I sold for both LA shows.

San Jose at 94%?!?!? Impossible! Unless they release a section or two right before the show (like they did today) and didn’t sell it all...they showed sold out for many months! They did sell about 3,000 more tickets in Washington than in 2017. And also over 2,000 more in San Jose this time around. Houston also 3,000 more tickets, which already was a sell-out in 2017. Washington and San Jose also didn't sell out officially in 2017. They were at 96% and 97% last time around. On all these shows I bet the floor was totally packed and those seats behind the stage were sold more as well. Dallas was about 2.5k more as well already. I think they packed Toronto last time pretty up already as they only sold 800 more tickets for this years show. The current stage takes a bit less space I think and it's easier to handle with the rectangle shape instead of the curved one last time around. But that doesn't make up for 3,000 seats....

Another review from last night: twitter.com/AJCRodneyHo/status/1164921254446620674Rodney Ho @ajcrodneyho Queen + @adamlambert = sublime @statefarmarena www.ajc.com/blog/radiotvtalk/american-idol-notes-adam-lambert-gives-queen-fresh-take-state-farm-arena-lauren-alaina-dwts-carrie-underwood-kelly-clarkson/qCuPoBgEFddEWFAquwwCgI/ … ‘American Idol’ notes: Adam Lambert gives Queen a fresh take at State Farm Arena, Lauren Alaina on ‘DWTS,’ Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson I tagged along with our esteemed music writer Melissa Ruggieri to the Queen + Adam Lambert concert Thursday night at State Farm Arena and enjoyed it thoroughly. And here are my thoughts: Lambert noted on stage early on that he has been fronting the group for an impressive eight years. Essentially, Roger Taylor and Brian May played with him on “American Idol” in 2009 and that planted a seed for what would ultimately be a wonderfully fruitful collaboration.There is no replacing Freddie Mercury and Lambert in no way even attempts to imitate or match Mercury’s majestic voice or presence. Rather, he is Lambert, who is special in and of himself with his own successful solo career and incredibly resonant, distinctive voice. Early on, he honored the two original members, giving the audience an excuse to give them an extended standing ovation. “This is a huge honor and I feel so lucky to be carrying the torch,” Lambert said. Then of Mercury: “He’s one of my heroes. He’s irreplaceable.” Lambert brought his own fashion template over a span of five outfits, starting with what looked like a black pirate shirt inside a gold lame jacket and pants. He later wore leather, then switched to some sort of tunic/shirt/skirt/pant combo. At one point, the silver tassel would have made Liberace and Elvis jealous. And he ended in a spangled outfit fit for a king with what appeared to be thick 12-inch heeled knee-high boots. And the singing! Lambert and bad notes are like strangers who have never met. He can command the stage on sprightly tunes such as “Somebody to Love” and “Don’t Stop me Now.” He can vamp it up on a piano while holding a red fan doing “Killer Queen.” He can funnel his inner theatric on “The Show Must Go On” and wink through “Fat Bottomed Girls.” Plus, no matter how sports stadium clichéd “We Will Rock You” is, he sang with utter conviction. Lambert never hogged the proceedings, knowing he is merely an esteemed guest in the Queen universe. At 72, May provided some touching vocals and no sign of age when it came to his guitar skills while Taylor undergirded every song with solid drum work. Plus, Mercury was not forgotten. He showed up on screen to sing the end of “Love of My Life,” then adding an impish little “Ay-Yo” callback for the crowd before the encore. And the burst of confetti at the end of the two-hour concert was fitting. This was a celebration of a band that may have lost its leader nearly three decades ago but found a vehicle in Lambert to provide fans a way to enjoy the original music in a way that felt less like a money grab but a genuinely moving experience. Here are some photos from the concert I took:

I guess they still do but haven't really seen any reported of late.
