I was feeling a little bit sorry for myself until I just read the instagram post from the young woman who loved Adam and passed away too soon. That sad post is a gift to me, and others, I'm sure, who are returning to 'real life' after such an amazing weekend. We are blessed to have been there.
You guys bring a smile to my heart as you wait for recaps from those of us fortunate enough to attend one, two, or all three final concerts of the TOH US Tour. So, instead of taking a nap, I'll utilize the energy from your posts and hilarious gifs, 'put paper to pen', and get busy. It'll be long; there's just so much to say . . . .

This makes my heart so sad. Christina 28/32/76 @glamqueen99 2h2 hours ago @adamlambert Pls read @theingridlaura's last message to you. She passed away today and she was only 18 years old :(
http://instagr.am/p/BDV4ge-EjkC theingridlaura You're the only thing in this world I would die without ❤ I'm not the kind of person, who shares too much about her life, so it's an exception. In the past weeks I learned a lot. Now I know who really cares about me, how precious my life is and how many wonderful experiences, moments the future holds. I am thankful for the people who saved my life. Doctors, nurses, family, friends, classmates and teachers - their work, sacrifice, help and kindness was the light, which guided me through the darkness. Words can not describe how good it feels to know that many people want me to be healthy and happy. @adamlambert : I don't think you ever read this little message, but I still want to say a big thank you. You don't know how much you helped me before and after my operation with your impressive, honest music and beautiful, powerful voice. It reflects what a treasure you are. I will always be thankful for your existence.

I doubt his contracts are based on percentage of gross. Adam probably/almost certainly has a guarantee per concert + a bonus % for every sales over some capacity amount (like over 80%) + he gets the majority of the VIP upgrade sales + merch + % of concessions. And my bet is there are several different versions of these deals based on the venue. *** No chance anyone outside of Adam's management and LiveNation has a total picture of the numbers involved in this tour. That said, he made money on it because it was close to a sold out tour -- it was well-managed from what I could see -- 3 buses, 2 trucks, inexpensive opener, beautiful but not extravagant production design, and not a lot of expense on costumes. Does Adam have to pay the opener? I thought it was the reverse, and the opener had to pay the headliner..? I'm curious, what makes you so positive that Adam had a guarantee vs percentage of gross? I am only sure about at least 3 of the LiveNation concerts but it is usual for the casino shows. Also it is what he did in the past. *** That said, I have very little info about the arrangements for these concert and was asked to guess. *** Alex has no cut of the gross from what I understand.

The FilmQueen's vids are really good, but I just started watching Cos2mwiz's playlist and so far am loving the close-ups. This is how it feels and sounds when you're close to the stage. You take in every little facial and body nuance and this sound is pretty much how it sounds down there that close to the stage. And we still have TALCs from the front row coming. Yay. No pressure LA attending peeps.....but I can't wait for recaps about both nights....which one did you like more ( I can tell that may be a hard choice...may depend on where you were sitting, etc., or audience energy )....every little detail about your photo ops, meeting up with friends Atoppers and others....all your observations. Write books folks.....lol. (I see on Twitter there was an #armgate and an #aislegate....maybe a flaily arm lady...lol........those of you up close elaborate on audience observations as well) We'll consider everything your opinions and observations...and we won't take it as criticisms....at all.....so spill away. lol You want me to work on a recap or on the audio????? I liked Sat better as had a slightly better, more in center, location. Sun I had a screamer on my left and a couple on my right who were constantly talking to each other during the singing. Recap first. It may take you a while on the audio...lol It's interesting and true that your seat location and distractions caused by those around you can play a significant role in your overall enjoyment.
