It seams that the ticketsales for the Europe tour are very disapointing. Only Amsterdam and Milan are sold out. In Germany there going to play for veneus who sold nearly 40% of the capacity.Also the Belgium concert have very bad ticket sales.

Not at all, you have to remember that some venues even opened new sections, which means they are selling nicely.
Now, if we take a look at some sites like TM, we could see that the sale has been nice.
The fine ladies at the Adam Idol did an amazing job in this chart, showing info about ticket sales, revenue etc for both 2014 and now for the upcoming tour:
Of course there's a delay in the information but they update it very often, once a week or so...
They even did another chart for the Q+PR tour...

Ha! According to that, all but Berlin is almost sold out. Good for the boys!

Good. I'm still debating whether I should take my ex or current girlfriend with me for the London show, so I am really very happy that tickets are not sold out.
Honestly, I'm fucking serious.

Youd better buy the tickets now and decide what to do later!

Berlin only 30% of the tickets are sold. Possible cancelling some Europe dates.

Because of this thread I took a look at the most used German ticket website and it clearly shows there are plenty of tickets available.
Germans only like the classic, real Queen as I always hear from normal people (not crazy fans).
Paul Rodgers was already a problem. I remember Cologne, the only stadium date, sold 22.000 but had a capacity of around 40.000.
Nobody knows Adam Lambert here in Europe,so why should people go out and pay up to 100 € for a ticket of a coverband?
I´m a Queen-fan,so I of course will NOT go, too.

I don't know why this is such a popular insult to jump on - you can't truly call it a cover band when Queen's two founding members are in it.

I'm a Queen fan since 1979. The current line up has nothing to do with Queen, so personally I will not go. In my opinion a lot of the older fans are not coming because Queen ended in 1991. As a tribute to Freddie I was at the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert. A great show, but again no Queen.

Please, please, please let me keep my sarcasm for the fact they´re touring with a 3rd class teenage pop"star" celebrity.
But you´re right: There are many better and mainly cheaper cover bands on the road......

Well I would say that as this is half the original band playing Queen songs, this tour has a lot to do with Queen!
Also the half of the band that are still playing are the guys Freddie joined to form Queen.

I love when people claims when they have been a fan "since 19xx" as if a certain amount of years of being a fan would make a simple opinion a fact.
Roger stated in the billboard interview I posted before that the european tour would be interesting because Adam is not well known in europe and in another interview I saw somewhere else (I cant remember where) he said that the fact Adam is not well known and the reject from some fans, make them feel as in the early days when nobody gave a damn about them.
Whatever the case, people forget the whole reason for this tour: They want to play their music, they want to have a good time for perhaps, the last time. And, if in the process of having a good time they also earn some money, then its a lot better, but its clear they are not interested in the money otherwise they would have a high profile singer, instead of a relatively unknown act.
