Since we're talking about seeing Adam or Queen/Adam in concert, I have to chime in. I've seen Queen/Adam 3 times and Adam by himself once. I'm so tired of having to go to third party sellers to get tickets, I've decided that even if Adam is having a concert at my next door neighbor's house...LOLOL...I'm never buying tickets again. As much as I love Adam, with and without Queen, I refuse to spend $600.00 for a $125.00 ticket ever again. My husband and I just saw them together for the second time at Madison Square Garden on August 6. We had very good seats, but the stress of trying to get tickets before the computerized bots buy them all is not worth the heart pounding hell any more. It cost us $1,200.00 for two tickets that should have cost us around half that price, probably less. Now I see everyone struggling to get tickets for Adam's set of four concerts, and I can feel the stress everyone is under trying get tickets before they are all scooped up by these mega bots. It's just terribly unfair, and every now and then politicians talk about doing something about it, but nothing seems to get done.

Idk why it looks this way on Patti’s app but my TM shows a different picture - about 150 available tickets... I also think that not all the sections were opened yet, but that’s just my speculation...

I got my two tickets for the El Rey on Stubhub - went there pretty much immediately once "no tickets available" through the regular seller. Darn it, I paid 20 more per ticket than I would have had to pay last night, if I had trusted myself. So far, I have had no issues with Stubhub, so I hope that waiting for the tickets to become available by December 20 won't be too nerve wrecking. It's definitely weird to plan a whole trip around two tickets that you don't even have yet. Only for Adam... The things we do for Adam! Yup, I call it the "Adam Syndrome". At least getting tickets for Fantasy Springs was a breeze Now... how to combine it all is like opening a can of worms again for me haha. I am not complaining btw. as I am feeling fortunate to be doing this.

Don’t forget TM now manipulates the prices, those “platinum” tickets are a real ugly development in this whole mess... so, it’s not just bots and professional resellers... whatever happened today with eventbrite sale for NYC is a shame... idk how many tickets were actually available though, after all the press/business/industry reserved ones and Adam’s production tickets...I still don’t understand the reason behind this tiny venue - nothing else available? Lack of planning? Lack of cohesive management? Sure feels like something is amiss... LA too...

I am sorry that you experienced so much stress with QAL ticket buying, and I agree that the power of those re-sellers is incredibly frustrating and unfair. However, QAL at MSG was a very much in demand venue that can't quite be compared to some venues that Adam performs solo in. So, while it is still frustrating how today most tickets were only available through secondary sellers for at least twice the price, it isn't that outrageous yet. I have learned in the past ten years of being an Adam fan that eventually there are always affordable tickets available, but it takes patience sometimes and persistence and chances are much higher for good seats at less cost if you are willing to get individual tickets.

There are a bunch of tickets on StubHub for NYC show starting at $115, less then my daughter got them for earlier today. Shouldn't have panicked but was worried they would sell out, really annoyed at this whole process!
