I wonder why Adam's so nostalgic in the last few days. He keeps posting songs, his and covers, from long ago. (I don't know how to bring it over, but he just IG'd a clip from TFM music video and a clip from Mad World live). I thought about that too, also after the "mood" IG video with Pharaoh yesterday. He seems nostalgic and I am sure there are times when he needs to reflect on his rise to fame, his fandom, his career choices, his music, and the many "passionate" opinions about him. He may want the "Whataya Want From Me" question answered (haha... good luck!) or... he may want to communicate a message to us with the songs he posts. Or... it just "ain't that deep" but I doubt it. I was surprised that he did answer a good number of "passionate" and super opinionated comments a few days ago following his latest IG post about the Rhapsody tour, so he seems to care what people think. I think he understands pretty well that with his solo music in 'limbo' (as far as we can tell), endlessly delayed, but QAL just going from strength to strength, some fans become hostile, and it becomes a competition, an either/or situation. They can easily be calmed and disarmed by knowing that his own music is actually coming, so he gave them that. Me personally, I feel a whole lot better now, knowing that his own music is coming in the first half of next year, before the QAL tour.

This is going to be a dumb question, but is there a button for "pre-waiting room" or is it automatically the page you are on when you are waiting for the tickets to load? I have not personally dealt with "the waiting room" yet, but Prism told me that when going to ticketmaster a little early for a presale for an event, about 15 minutes before the presale was to start, something appeared that asked her if she wanted to enter the waiting room. She said yes.
From that point on ticketmaster gave updates such as "there are 2,000 people ahead of you." That made it sound as if it was first come, first served, but she entered the waiting room before 10:00 am, so it was randomized. At some point she was able to buy and a seat map appeared.
peace&love
ETA - I see lambski had a similar experience
I have bought tickets a few times now with the waiting room and it is easy. Like stated above a button will come up asking you if you want to enter the waiting room. Hit the button to say yes and then a page will come up with a countdown to 10:00am. DO NOT close your browser or hit the back button or you will loose your place in the waiting room. At 10:00 am the page will automatically update and show you how many people are ahead of you, like 100 people and then that number counts down until the page refreshes again and will take you the seat map to start the buying process. It may say you have to wait for 500 people but it counts down really fast. Last time I got tix I waited about 30 -45 seconds until I was able to start the purchase process. It is really easy.

Just wanted to add my waiting room ticket-buying experience.
On the day of the fan pre-sale (for the summer dates in the UK) I was logged into Ticketmaster and on the QAL page ahead of time and was also asked if I wanted to join the waiting room, so I clicked for yes.
Because it was my first experience of the waiting room I was a little suspicious so I opened a different browser and logged in again, without joining the waiting room this time. Instead I just kept refreshing the page until the moment it went live.
I had already bought my ticket on the second browser (the one where I kept refreshing) and I was STILL in the waiting room on the first one.
So if you have the opportunity to log in on more than one browser or device, it seems as though it's better to keep your options open.

I agree with the above. to add, I don't think Adam wants to disappoint his loving ,loyal fans.. IMHO,he's letting us know he cares and that he still has a solo career that means a lot to him.. reminding us of the songs many of us really love.IMHO,Adam has not had an easy time with the business side of his career... who has??? BUT he loves the creative music side and would like to put out songs as singles that he wants to put out. maybe is fighting for more musical freedom. As he has said,to paraphrase ,He hates being told what to do... To add again..Of course i know nothing !! After listening to Mario interview once again Adam is taking about the tedious business side to getting out new music... I would really love to beable to tell that side off for giving Adam a hard time.. Just saying

So if you have the opportunity to log in on more than one browser or device, it seems as though it's better to keep your options open. Did you get an interactive map on your second browser? or on your waiting room browser right at 10AM or when it went live? Wonder what determines when the pick your own seats feature starts up.

Very nice! So much excitement around the Queen and Adam tour shows that many Queen and Adam fans and the press are on board. The new music and solo tour will come when it comes. We all want new music (we have no control over when it will be delivered and demanding is useless) but there is no need to stomp on QAL, which is a major part of his career and something he and others are thrilled about.
