And what a name! I am verklempt:) I wish I had it in me, but I just don't, I can't right now, it's a terrible time for writing, my muse is drowned in the muddy waters flooding my country. But if I could write, it would all be good. His once in a life time story with Queen, his music coming out, and all the barriers just keep falling down before his talent&heart. To answer Q3's question from weeks ago, about whether this tour will be majestic: I believe so, with all my heart. For me, the EMA was majestic, the iHeart was majestic, in such a way that I came to a point of quite adamantly not allowing different opinions because they felt intolerably wrong. So this new, once-in-a-lifetime tour has some pretty majestic parents and has no chance of being anything less than. At least genealogically speaking:) Ah, look at me, can't help myself. Or to quote a rap song: "I start to think, and then I sink Into the paper like I was ink When I'm writing, I'm trapped in between the lines I escape when I finish the rhyme." awwww.... aleks, I'm so terribly sorry your country is suffering so much right now.  Sending huge virtual hugs!  |

I think Mohegan #2 will definitely sell out, if not before, than certainly after the word gets around after the first one!

What I find fascinating about these numbers? This tour is 60% sold before Asia and Australia even buy one ticket. This chart is not accurate but based on this about 90% of NA concert tickets are sold out. *** Essentially sold out 8 shows: Chicago, San Jose, 2 Las Vegas, New York (1 ticket on map), Mohegan Sun #1, Toronto #1, Montreal Over 95% sold, would be reported as sold out 2 shows: LA Forum (99% sold), Auburn Hills (excluding the new blocks of side tickets just added, some Diamond VIPs here) <so that is 10 shows sold out so far>Limited to singles, Diamond VIP, Fan Pack upper lever: Mohegan Sun #2 Sold deeply, mostly upper level: Dallas Sold deeply, no way to estimate how many sold: Philadelphia (finally!! singles and upper level), Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton <looks like Dallas, Philadelphia and Vancouver will be sold out, not sure about MS #2, Calgary and Edmonton>Selling well, some VIP, limited 1st level, lots of upper level: Toronto #2. Lots of seats available, no way to estimate how many: Houston, Boston, Winnipeg, Saskatoon Lost of seats available: Atlantic City (it is 1 hour and 10 minutes from Philadelphia, so now that the good seats are all gone in Philadelphia, this is selling. I think this venue will sell out.), IZOD (lots available, this will eventually sell out, between MSG and Philly) In the end this will be a "sold out tour".I am going to Montreal and I keep checking for better seats. I am always able to pull up tickets to buy so I am curious as to why it is considered sold out. |

Once in a Lifetime Tour OiaLT-Tour (?) Great name, btw, will start using that name. So, using some basic math and a few rough estimates (ie.e. re avg AU ticket prices), this is now a around 60 mil. gross revenue tour, maybe higher. We'll get better numbers as the tour happens and numbers gets reported. With the way the packages include all kinds of stuff besides the ticket, there is not really good way to get this broken out beforehand, so these are all estimates. Here is the list of major music tours for last year, just to give you an idea, how big this tour is already shaping up to be: www.billboard.com/articles/list/5820092/top-25-tours-of-2013Given how this list cuts off by fiscal year, this should not be mistaken as a list of tour value per artist, as some artists may have toured across two fiscal years. But just the idea, that Adam, a presently independent and at least officially unsigned artist, is on the ticket of one of the top tours of the year, is just pretty mind-boggling. Which other independent artist in the world tours on a major level? Madonna, I guess? Is anybody else on this list without label? And I know, Adam might not be without label either, but then, nothing has been announced in that regard, so based on what we know, he is independent, in my book. And it is becoming him very well, might I say. |

I do not believe Adam is doing Queen for "the money" but I am sure that makes it betterer.
I believe Queen + Adam is an incredible opportunity for Adam. One he could never and should never have turned down.
I believe A3 will be released this year. And I agree with SophieB it will either be a hit or not.
I believe Adam has a long, long career ahead of him and that QAL and A3 will not be the end or even the peak.
I believe Adam will do some things we cannot even imagine yet.
Cassie, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Adam's voice is likely to get better over the next 3 to 5 years and, with the care he takes with his voice and his vocal training, I expect him to be like Perry Como he will be singing when he is 70.
