And clearly touring with anyone doesn't actually work, since they had far fewer ticket sales during the QPR collaboration, so wrong again.

Ah yes I figured you were going to trot that out. Different times. Different publicity and Live Nation. Queen + PR would have sold out much faster than with goat throat.
Again, and try to get your wee mind to comprehend this. If Adam doesn't draw much on his own how is he suddenly drawing now? Wake up wee one
Different times, different publicity? Srsly? It was still Queen in North America all in the last 8 years, wasn't it? Are you saying Queen just didn't know how to put on a selling show or how to get publicity during the QPR era? Because I'm not buying it.
The difference between QPR and QAL is Adam Lambert, pure and simple. No matter how much you don't like that fact, there it is.
Dream on. Live Nation didn't exist years ago. Few people even knew about the PR shows. This has already been covered elsewhere. Adam Lambert adds VERY LITTLE to 1/2 Queen's draw. Just compare his own concert ticket sales to this one. Common sense, which is something you Lambgoat zealots are in dire need of. Brian & Roger had the American Idol and other American TV programs his time. Wake up wee one
Except that Adam's tour stats are excellent.
.
Compared to what? He was so unpopular by his second album he didn't even tour
Album 1 era: ~110 concerts, $6 million income.
Album 2 era: ~ 30 concerts, $5 million income.
Income in-between Era's 1 and 2 (while recording): $1.5 million
Anticipated income from this year and next: Better yet.
During Era 1 they didn't know how well he could fill the venues. They started out small, then had to add in additional dates, doubling up on some cities, adding venues in others, as they realized that demand was higher than anticipated.
Between Eras 1 and 2, not touring at all, except for several one-off and corporate events, and with no new release, Adam banked a nice income. I wonder how me managed that?
During Era 2 Adam got to play bigger venues and therefore had to work less concerts for almost the same amount of money he took home in Era 1. That's success by any measure.
Forbes lists run from May to May, and next years' will include income from his Glee project, along with some sponsorship deals in Asia. I suspect it will be a good number.
The Forbes list in the year after that will include the QAL project and perhaps part of his Era 3 sales. I suspect that number will be really, really good.
I have no worries about Adam's future, none at all.
