Wow, this is an interview Adam did with someone named “Sam” when he was still in L.A. before the current tour and a QAL Show in Luxembourg on November. This will give you an insight into Adam. It might help non-Adam fans to know him better:

Read the piece, learned nothing new. I'm no hater - I've seen six Q+AL shows - and my grievance isn't him per se.
I hate the fact that the recent tours are nothing but a lazy money grab. The vastly inflated ticket prices compared to the 2015 EU leg combined with an uninspired, predictable setlist leave me cold. I'm sorry if you don't get that. And no, before you say it, I shouldn't just 'be grateful that they're still touring'...Brian, Roger and Adam probably take home at least £100,000 a night, remember. It's not exactly a chore, is it?
I live 10 minutes away from the o2 in London and am currently not fussed about skipping either show there in December.

You are going to miss Frank the robot! He is “new” since the UK tour in 2015!

I feel the same way too. It's a shame that QAL will be in my country next week and I haven't got tickets and to be honest I don't care. I wish I was excited about it!

The guys are 70 and 68 — you miss this tour at your own peril. You have to be there to feel the excitement when Frank the robot breaks down the wall. I thought not including IL and SYW in the set list would make a difference but it doesn’t! Their show is spectacular no matter which songs are performed! My advice: don’t miss it — you’ll regret it later!

I totally see the point of those that are no longer that much excited about the tours.
From my point of view it is quite different, because it is really difficult to have the opportunity to see them each time, as I live in Brazil, I have a job, a family and I am certainly not rich.
Given that and the fact that, after 38 years, I am still completely nuts about Queen and all of the related B and R endeavours makes it really compelling to me to strongly consider going anywhere in the world where they might be playing, everytime.
If I do not attend to each and every gig, it's because of reasons absolutely beyond my will. That happens to be the case 99% of the time, unfortunately.
As for their current tour, I have to say I was a little more excited about the last ones, but I would still do each and everything in my powers to see them if there were the slightest possibility of seeing these gigs.
Cheers,

The reason the price is higher is because the tour is a much more complex production a much larger to transport than last time.
I don't know what the band earn per show, but in 2015 they had 13 x40 ft trailers and an on tour staff of about 70 people. Plus 60 local crew at each venue to help with load in/out and set construction. This tour has more trucks the same on tour staff but 78 local crew at the load in and 95 for the load out. It's a more complex construction and takes longer to put up and take down and that is where some of the extra money is being spent.
Does any of this excuse the monotonous safe set list? No, but it's what they choose to do.

Have you even heard the originals of those songs?

Their set list is NOT monotonous IMHO!
