I'd say the % sold is close to accurate. But what i don't think is accurate is the average price. For instance, the Forum has very few low price tickets to balance out the higher prices. I would say the average price is closer to $172. That is the price of most of their tickets. I think she got average by getting an average of the tickets'price each venue is using, without considering how many of each ticket there is. The good news is, we will have accurate figures for sales and revenue after each concert from Pollstar and Billboard! |

I agree with Q3 .. poor editing.. Some Fans will notice ,I doubt anyone else will. To me, the quote was incomplete. I love Adam beyond belief and I wasn't particularly offended. To me it is only tangentially about Adam. If I was focussed on Adam, I would have been upset by the Rolling Stone article, which some fans were. IMHO, the LGBTQ community is still having a good gay/bad gay image debate and some of Adam's image issues (e.g. OUT magazine the first time around and the Miami article last year) come from being on the wrong side of that equation.
We are only a couple of years away from marriage equality and heading towards a post-gay world. Mostly we see progress as strictly a matter for the straight community. This article is a reminder that the LGBTQ community still has some growing to do. Well, maybe it was poor editing. It could be... Anyway, I noticed one thing. If I'm not mistaken, the first article (about Glenn coming out) was published around March 23. Adam tweeted about Glenn's FB post on March 25 : twitter.com/adamlambert/status/448408263630282752Glenn saw his tweet and thanked him. Maybe he noticed his mistake (not talking about Adam in the RS article) and wanted to set it right in his interview for OUT. And either due to poor editing or anything else his sentence sounded just wrong to me, I can't help it. |

Sorry, but he makes a point of saying he will address forgetting to mention Adam in the RS article and then he say's he "ENJOYS" him! COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What they printed is not necessarily exactly what he said. They print portions of statements out of context all the time. For all we know he spoke full paragraphs of Adam-praise and they chose only to print very little of it. I do not trust this magazine at all. |

I think we walk a fine line as fans when we get in the territory of "he doesn't like Adam enough" and I'll bring it up now since Out was on the side of "Adam isn't gay enough". People who come out, especially when they've lived part of their adult life as not out, have enough to think about just getting thru it without worrying about others who are not in their immediate circle. I've thought the same about Adam who has said he didn't have any out role models. |

My "annoyance" with Tyler comes not form the OUT quote (as I am sure it's poor editing) but from the fact he conveniently forgot about Adam in the RS interview. Somehow those two pubs are not "equal" in my mind .... But overall  ....a small forgettable non-event. ---------- CONGRATS to didilynn!  Hope your mom is OK! |

I was one who complained about the Out quote on twitter last night but I've since modified my opinion. He is after all a Mormon and that must make it even more difficult to come out. Maybe he was really nervous about the reaction and wasn't thinking about anyone but himself at the time.

I think the Tyler article was obviously edited-as they all are. But when someone takes the space in an interview about themself to mention Adam, even in hindsight, and then says something small yet possitive, I have trouble getting worked up about the compliment not being big enough. Whether that be due to editting or the one speaking. I see only good here.
