These resale sites are speculating. They will buy tickets, but don’t have them yet. I guess, they only show sections of the venue and no actual seats? When I bought my tickets for Wembley last year, I had to buy a ticket without a seating chart (on ticket master). The tickets flew out in minutes, so they weren’t able to show the chart. When you let go of a ticket, the next one was worse. And in the end, it happened, that all tickets were gone. This way, I only knew the section, but had no idea, where exactly my seat was. There was simply no time to look for it on the internet. Thankfully the seat was pretty good. You can find detailed general seating charts for many venues at www.mapaplan.com It is usually very accurate for seats in the stands but might not be for the floor. Thanks! The floor doesn’t matter, since in Europe we don’t have seats on the floor.

Q3 is right. Maybe Adam doesn't have a label, but does he need one? Who really seems to matter are all the people who book him gigs, roles, and appearances of one kind or another. They seem to be doing more for progressing his career than any of the labels ever did. Most of the major charting publications rely on stats from social media to measure an artist's viability, not so much rotation on local radio, the traditional destination of the major labels. The music industry will probably look a lot different in ten years. It will probably look more like a facet of a wider entertainment industry that challenges artists to be diverse in their abilities (true artists). Adam's talent is already multi-faceted. He may have a long-term plan to land ahead of the coming changes. I think Adam has good management who will continue to get him high profile gigs. But I would think his label was a factor in getting him the exposure and radio play that he needed internationally and even the level he got in the US (not huge but more than the indie artists would get). Without a label would TOH have gone platinum in Poland and Russia? Without a label would Ghost Town be gold in the US/Germany/Austria and 2xplatinum in Australia/Sweden and 3xplatinum in Poland/the Netherlands? Would GT be almost at 200m in streams without getting on some big playlists? I think he still needs a label and I hope he has one for the international push. I don't think a lot of Indie artists were doing a well as Adam. Maybe there will be a time when streaming is all that is needed and labels don't matter but for right now, I think Adam still needs the support. I just haven't seen evidence that a lot of Indie artists (other than in rap) have this huge success that some seem to think Adam will have without a label. I totally agree. I know Warner Music Germany supported Adam a lot. He even had a radio deal, where one of the biggest pop radio stations (NRJ) with stations all over the country played Gost Town every 2 hours for a week. The song was pretty new and not up in the US charts (or German charts) to validate that. Even now, I hear the whistling part at least once a week on different TV shows used as background music. Without a label, that would not have happened.

Maybe because they still have lots of licensing agreements if you are continuing to hear Ghost Town on shows.

Only that he’s still on their artist roster as you mentioned. And that at least Ghost Town and „Evil in the Night“ are regularly used as background music on TV. And I always start grinning, when I hear those. 😁
