Although I attended every show of the last UK/European tour in 2015 online I'd only just become a fan days earlier so I missed all the ticket-buying. I know that the UK arenas are GA downstairs, seated upstairs and that there were on-stage VIP packages, but other than the on-stage were there any other VIP packages available? Like early admission or suchlike? Thanks in advance! Yes, they had VIP packages in the UK for 2015....lower side bowl seats. In Nottingham, we sat right inside and by the extended stairs. They came with some merch. I can't remember how much $ they were back then. I imagine it will be floor standing once again. I don't think they had early entry. Some of our friends lined up all day long to get at the stage rail. Of course, things could be different this time around.....but I bet mostly the same....just more expensive. Thanks Bama, I'm thrilled to hear that as I've been suffering premature ticket anxiety!! I was concerned that it was going to be either on-stage or nothing - and there's so few of the on-stage places that regardless of cost I imagine they get snapped up within minutes. As this is most likely going to be their touring swansong I'll just have to dig deep and cough up whatever it costs. I'd quite like to be on stage for 1 show and then the normal VIP package for the others (I'm thinking 3 will do me nicely). Anything rather than queue up all day - I'm a weakling, not like you, Bama!!

Ah, this one is even better. If you don't watch the whole thing, start at 2:52 It is totally scary, but I would have LOVED to be there. Imagine it, to surrender yourself to the music of Queen and Adam in a crowd like that. Imagine how it feels if you are on stage

I haven't seen any early entry packages for sale in the EU or UK last time around. There were one or two shows with a 'golden circle' , but those were outside stadium shows. Also, even if you're not queuing all day there you have a good chance of a decent spot, just arrive one or two hours before doors open and you certainly won't be all the way in the back. Or... Buy an onstage ticket if you can afford it! It is the show of a lifetime, so I certainly would if I could!

If you research ticket prices for artists like Bruno Mars and Gaga, the QAL tickets are right in line. And in some cases, their VIP are even lower. I don't think we can compare the on stage tickets to anything, really. Those are special, there are only a few at each venue, and cater to HUGE fans. Compared to Demi Lovato's 10K VIP, they are a bargain! Oh, I think the on stage tickets are sold out at every venue. I wasn't talking about on stage , although I would love to be there once, I know that is so far out of my financial reach that it won't ever happen. And I really think it is okay for QAL to get all the money they can make from the tickets. It's just that I could afford around 80 euro (85 USD approx I think) if I want to do more than one show. Even then, with travel costs it would be a tight budget. And that money wouldn't even buy me a standard ticket in the US. I really want them to make a lot of money, but I really can't pay 500+ for a good seat. Or am I reading the price table wrong? I hope for purely selfish reasons that the expensive tickets in the EU will be on stage and seated on the side and that the floor will be GA! Also, when the drop in Bo Rhap comes I need to jump. Easier without chairs . Well last time in Europe and the UK the floors were all GA standing (all in UK for sure) - so probably the same this time! Happy for you, dear Nic - but i just think of all those hours queuing! Noooo..... My hot tip: If they play Glasgow however, I would definitely get a GA ticket. Our Lilly told me that no one queues for concerts in Glasgow - And she was absolutely right!I didn't queue at all and strolled in about ten minutes after the doors opened to find about 40 people there. I wandered round and took my choice of position in the front row (which I swapped for second row when others came because I felt too exposed!).....

Well... I heard somewhere that Glasgow is on the list. So maybe I'll look deep into my travelling fund! That sounds pretty tempting!

Compared to Demi Lovato's 10K VIP, they are a bargain! Oh, I think the on stage tickets are sold out at every venue. ETA: Just checked on stage tickets for every venue except Calgary. It is not listed in TM. Anyone know why? Anyway, I found one on stage ticket in Toronto and that was it. Sold out every where else! LOL....I was quoting from Edmonton---Rogers Place arena which is a 3.5 hr hour drive away from my home Calgary and it is the closet venue for me. However, QAL was in Calgary 2014. And, I re checked and you are right...all sold for the VIP stage experience. That is darn strange...guess people are buying everyday! Earlier today when I fact checking...there was at least one stage ticket available in Vancouver ( that is how I got the exact price. I only entered a one ticket request). Obviously sold now.
You are right, the stage is special experience---just that $1,547.00 still seems a lot to me . 30% jump from 2014. Now $10K for Demi seemed almost like an April Fool's joke, but it wasn't, and if some will pay---then more power to her I guess. It is all supply and demand. With QAL there are more VIP packages with this tour than in the past. (Mind you I never really sourced AU and Asia. Those ticket costs were higher as I remember due to travel distance etc.)
