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? Sorry, I fixed my post to clarify. >> The Stubhub map is wrong for Section 2 -- there are tickets sold in Rows 18 - 22 because they are being offered for sale. >> There is no guarantee that the chairs will be arranged exactly as shown on the map but the Queen maps for various venues are almost identical. For section 2 -- The small front section has 6 rows of tickets. The back section has 9 rows. Behind that is a 5 row section. It is a relatively small number of tickets on the floor compared to most of the venues -- like Auburn Hills or Philadelphia. ** About which ticket to keep -- depends on what you prefer. The sound in Row 5 will be distorted and very loud but you will be very close. You will probably need to stand for the whole concert. You will not be able to see the whole set at once. But, you will be close and you will be close to Adam. So do you really care about the video wall? The sound on the side is likely to be unbalanced but have less distortion. You might be able to seat and see the stage. This is an arena show, the venue was designed for basketball, the show will be designed to look great from the back of the plaza level (100 level). The sound will probably be set to sound great where the mix station is -- center back of the floor. JMHO The best sound will be in the front of the center back section of the floor. The best seats are the ones close to Adam and the catwalk. ** I am sure other people have different experiences but IF anyone bought the close seat expecting to get great sound and that is why you are attending -- to hear Adam's voice -- I recommend you reconsider your tickets and explore reselling and moving farther back OR just live with the distorted sound and be joyful that you got a close seat. ** For me -- I would sit in Row 5 and smile! |

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. 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!!! Anyone thinking about Philly, the tickets are selling quickly today. The site is TERRIBLE but you can first click on the regular ticket button...and put tickets in your cart. Then add tickets from one of the VIP options. Then remove tickets from you cart. Then buy the ones you want. |

So, effectively, 10 rows back from the catwalk. Which might make for a bit better sound- it's that tiny section right in front of the sound booth. I do care about seeing the video wall. I guess from section 112 I sacrifice a bit of sight and sound and from section 5 I get a bit too much sight and sound (I do have Etymotic earplugs). |

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 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. Thanks. I was trying to decide if they were better than what I had. I bought section 103 Row 7, but later regretted not paying an extra $50 for 112/122. I didn't want the floor. |

I have not checked out concert prices for eons, but these tickets seem very pricey. Now both Queen and Adam have a lot of fans that were lucky enough to live in the era when a large and prosperous middle class had a relatively easy time accumulating some wealth and gaining financial security, but what about acts whose fans are young? How do these prices compare to JB's and 1D's?

You have to wonder, or at least I do, how many of the ticket buyers are Adam fans vs Queen fans. Did both attack at the same time and we have an even mix of fans. Or did Glamberts do their usual and Queen fans are going WTF? Especially in smaller venues like the Joint. But since I stay for the most part in the Adam bubble it would only seem like that to me!!

If you choose Section 5 row l....I'll be up in front of you in Section 2, row 18 (2nd row from end of catwalk) seat 12. I'm hoping because I'm 18 rows back from the center of the stage with a big area devoted to the catwalk and almost dead center that the sound will be OK and the visuals will be awesome. At least I'm hoping! And of course, fingers crossed that Adam utilizes the end of that catwalk! |
