Venue Swamped With Fan Requests For Queen and Adam Lambert Concert Tickets
I interviewed a lovely person at one of the venues where @queenwillrock, @drbrianmay @officialrmt & @adamlambert will be in concert this summer, and I learned a lot of very cool things from her.
She graciously agreed to talk with me for ALFC about the explosion of ticket sales for the Queen and Adam concert that has happened in her office over this past few days.
Q. So, you've worked in this venue for 6 years and you've seen a lot of great artists come through in concert. What did you experience this time with the Queen and Adam Lambert show that was so different from all other concerts?
A. Usually, when an artist is booked, the requests for tickets begin to trickle in, but only after there is an announce date. People start calling and asking about the show at a pretty comfortable pace.
I reply one on one to their requests, that's how we do it here, and usually I get their questions answered in a timely manner. People get a call back from me within a few hours.
Q What did you notice that was different with the way fans were calling and purchasing tickets for the Queen and Adam Lambert concerts?
A Oh, my! The requests came in at an exponential rate! I was going on holidays, and I worked here Thursday night until 7:00 PM, went home for a bit and was back here at 8:00 PM and stayed until midnight!
I'd reply to one caller and 10 more calls would pop up. It went like that for 24 hours. The day of the announcement, I had to call in extra help! I also called my boss, as we didn't have time to answer one question when more would pop up.
Q It must have been frantic...
A It was! It was really WILD! People were calling and saying, "I want tickets for the Adam Lambert show or for the Queen and Adam Lambert concert!"
Q At what point that day did you realize that it was getting out of control, that you were going to need help?
A The night of the announcement, when I didn't have time to answer questions for one caller before other calls popped up! I was leaving notes all over for people working while I was away.
Q So, it was like nothing you've ever seen before in your 6 years with this venue?
A Yes exactly, and I would say we were not 100% prepared for this at all!
NOTE: I talked with this wonderful person a few times and she was delightful, very professional and is excellent at her job. I'll look forward to meeting her when I go to the concert at her venue. ~ Bren

This is an interview with the lovely Demi at The Joint in Las Vegas!!
No doubt that there is demand all over the place but this is not the typical situation.
