Any thoughts as to why the Stub Hub seating chart for Chicago United Center differs from the seating chart shown on Ticketmaster? Specifically, the floor sections 2 and 5. Ticketmaster shows a square section 2 in front of section 5 while StubHub does not. One would assume the Ticketmaster is correct? Would calling the venue as we get closer to show time yield a definitive answer, do we think, or is StubHub known for bad info and I should just disregard them? I picked up a spare section 5 row 1 just in case it turned out to be a better seat than the one I already held in section 112 and at some point I will need to decide which one I want to use and which one to pass on. I am fairly tall so people on the floor in front of me would not be a problem and the head on view feels desirable to me. But the 112 section is a bit removed from the fray and has a good view of the thrust. Which to choose? #firstworldproblems The best seating chart is the one on Ticketmaster. And there is a small set of sets in the front of Section 2 (6 rows?) then more of Section 2 at the end of the catwalk (9 rows?). Tickets have been sold in both sections for Chicago. ETA: I corrected my post. |

Q3, I think this is an error. Detroit is one of the venues with the most tickets still for sale, besides Houston. Also, interesting note. The 4 sections, at the Forum, that are the "side sections", 2 on each side, were added sometime yesterday. Previously they were not up for sale. I have seen this happen before with high demand concerts. The venue releases seats that have limited view, in the hope that desperate fans will buy them anyway. Saw it for P!NK's last show at Staples & also iHeart! As a specific note on resales, there is a relative small amount of resale tickets for the Queen concerts. Which means, fans are buying them and keeping them. As a comparison, for Katy's concerts in So Cali, she has over 2,000 tickets available for each of 3 nights and 1400 for one night. Queen has 1300. The highest number of second hand tickets, for Queen, is Chicago with 2200. The other venues are below 1K or in the 1300 range . Funny note, while I was checking Queen at the Forum, 100+ tickets disappeared! Maybe Adam put in his ticket order for friends and family.  Last night for 3 hours, they had all the sales at some concerts in the US off. That must of been so they could do some maintenance. I have updated the status. Right now Philadelphia (for some unknown reason but partially because of the awful ticket site) has the best tickets available in the US. If you are in the east and thinking about adding a concert, check it out. Other good bets are Dallas and Auburn Hills. In Canada, Vancouver is a nice venue and has good seats. |

How do we know that the back/end of catwalk section of section 2 contains only five rows? Looks like nine to me (17-25), with five rows in section 5? Is there a more detailed chart available somewhere or are we guessing because of tickets we have seen? |

I noticed yesterday Chicago added sections 114 and 120 on the ends. How do they do that? Do they move the stage back? Are the seats partially obstructed? How good are the seats? I can"t imagine being able to see in the above sections like 321 & 331

Dang, you aren't kidding about the Philly ticket site. I thought i might be tempted to add that concert to my list, but it is practically impossible to get to the page that actually sells tickets (via the Livenation site), and when you get there it is clunky and difficult to figure out how to select and what they are offering. I gave up..... But with MSG sold out, people living in the NE will most likely gravitate to that show since it is just an hour train ride away. Hopefully it will pick up sales and sell out as well. No matter what happens at this point, this roll-out of promotion and the public response has been stunning and i couldn't be happier!!! |

I can"t imagine being able to see in the above sections like 321 & 331 They did that at a few of the arenas yesterday, MSG, the Forum, and a few others. Not sure if they are obstructed but very side view of the stage. I think they have to mark them as obstructed view if there is an actual obstruction, but they do say side-stage view, and not sure if you would be able to see the jumbo screens from that vantage point either. |

I am so happy for the guys. Especially for our sweet Adam. They must have had a little bit of doubt about how this tour would sell.
Sooooo proud of our beautiful man.

I can"t imagine being able to see in the above sections like 321 & 331 Never been there, but it seems that often a venue will open up seats like that once they know the stage setup. We got our Stones tickets for the Carrier Dome in Syracuse in 1989 the day before the show. Couldn't see Charlie at the drums at all, but we were in row 3 about 20 feet from Mick and Keith at times! Same with our Elton tickets in Anchorage. His piano was angled away from where I was so I got to watch him from the back a lot, plus I had the sign language interpreter for the deaf right in front of me, which was alternately distracting and interesting. |

I can"t imagine being able to see in the above sections like 321 & 331 They are side seats. The do not move the stage back. They sold tickets behind the stage for Katy Perry, Gaga and Pink. They designed their sets to accommodate this possibility. Queen uses a video wall -- and while anything is possible -- I except to see it for this tour. If so, they can do the sides with but not anything further back. The side stage seats usually have compromised sound and obstructed vision BUT they are close. I think they are better then the upper level seats. But a matter of taste. |
