For me, I prefer to go to shows that are within driving distance of 2 to 4 hours. QAL shows often fit but Adam solo shows are never anywhere near. I was hoping that the "Velvet" tour would bring him within even 5 or 6 hours. If that were to happen, I would go the extra distance to see Adam but I wouldn't go that far for a Halloween theme show.

In terms of Adam particularly, I am wondering how many of his fans prefer seeing him with Queen versus solo, though one event shouldn't necessarily influence the other considering that QAL happened in Europe and the mini tour is happening in the US, assuming that a fan would be happy to see Adam in any format. Then again, for someone who gets to see Gaga in the city nearby not much $$ will be left to arrange a Vegas trip to see Adam on Halloween weekend, with Covid still being a reality.
Since Adam hasn’t played any solo concert in Europe since 2016, there had barely ever been a conflict between Adam solo and with QAL here. Also, Adam’s solo tickets in Germany were about 33€ in 2016 and about 42€ for the cancelled tour 2020 (no M&G or extras available for 2020). Most people would be able to go and see Adam here, if they wanted to. I also don’t expect the ticket prices to change much for any future tour, so in comparison to QAL the Adam tickets are cheaper here than in most other countries. But first he must come here.... To add: If I really had to choose between Adam solo ore Adam with Queen? I would choose the latter. It’s a 2,5 hour show, probably the best act currently on this planet, Adam in all his glory with the best „backing band“ anyone could dream of. Also, QAL won‘t be there forever. I would just hope, that I can go and see Adam solo another time. Agreed that those fans who might have run out of funds to see him solo after they had traveled to Europe for QAL are very likely not the bulk of his fans. That was my point but I probably wasn't clear. My assumption is that most fans would see him if he is close, either with Queen or solo, unless there are Covid worries or strong preferences. I am just happy that he is touring solo in my neck of the woods of sorts and so far I am willing to take the risk and see him. The mask will be my best friend. Still, there are lots of travel logistics and cost involved especially for Vegas, but I am justifying it as I had cancelled my QAL trip to Europe for this summer. The QAL concerts are top notch and I thought the livestream was magnificent, but I do prefer solo Adam at this point. |

Yeah, I think sometimes people don't realize there's more to going to a concert than just buying a ticket. So many factors that just make it either too difficult or impossible to go see Adam (or any other performer for that matter)...and it has nothing to do with having lost interest, or not being enough of a fan. It definitely is an investment to see Adam, and it looks like people do realize it. |
