Emdee, we are seeing them in a big arena in Columbus, Ohio. It's a bit of a drive, but not a big problem. But after you posted I realized that the price I told you was too low. We paid about $83 per ticket. I thought that was a great price. We saw Andrea Bocelli (I have wide ranging musical tastes) last December and paid $200 for those tickets, again, up high.

At first I thought I don't want to see the new documentary but as you speak so fondly about it I will give it a chance. For quite a long time I avoided everything connected to Queen after 1997 but now I think, if there would be a tour in Europe I would probably attend. Just to hear half of the Queen live. And also, songs they made are simply great. Of course Freddie's performance made them absolutely unique, marvelous fabulous and fantastic and Adam doesn't have a chance to have 1% of Freddie's charisma in my eyes but still, he can sing and he performs them quite good :) so hopefully there will be some concert near to Prague one day :)
Doughnut, I also cried when I watched it. Seeing Freddie on the screen at the back of the stage singing the end of Bohemian Rhapsody just broke my heart to pieces. I'm not very cool and collected when it comes to being confronted with his absence.
@Honey.Chile, I checked out the "WWRY" Milton Keynes' videos you recommended on YouTube. Are you referring to the fast version of the song, where Freddie is dressed completely in white or the one where he is wearing a sombrero - weirdly enough?
@doughnut, thanks for the link to the German TV special of Freddie's "TOTDOOD" hologram. I'm glad I got to place a face to the name for Rudi Dolezal and to see Jim and Phoebe's poignant reaction to the hologram.
@mika251, thanks for translating the German TV special from German to English. You are awesome! If I'm correct, Czech is your native language, yet you managed to translate German to English? Wow!

Emdee,
Our Queen + Adam concert tickets were $99.50 apiece, not including fees. I have never been to this particular arena before (Xfinity Center, just outside of Boston), but the seats looked decent enough. We are a little more than half way back, but still in the section with a roof (in case of rain). The lawn seats cost about half that amount, however, those looked pretty far from the stage...definitely binocular seats!
We got our tickets back in the beginning of December when they went on sale. From what I could see, most of the venues sold out pretty quickly, but like I mentioned to Thor, there are always people looking to get rid of tickets. For this tour, Queen has partnered with Twickets for resales. People cannot sell tickets on this site above the face value. I just looked at that site and unfortunately, most of the venues have no tickets available right now. That will probably change though. Here is the link in case you are interested:
You are right about tickets through 3rd party sellers. They can be ridiculously priced. Often those tickets are purchased just to resell and make money. On Stubhub, in the same exact section I am sitting in, 21 rows in front of me, someone is selling a ticket for $707. That is nuts!

ThunderGod and Lee Nolan and others encouraging the following bigoted and offensive behavior:
"It is one thing to passively mention a detail from Jim's book as a way to discuss important details about prevention etc...
But that is not how these people are discussing these details."
You need to be more careful with the kind of "fans": you're dealing with here and elsewhere, like Instagram.
Why are CIS adolescent girls and young "women" like @Queen_Memes.kl @jimandFreddieForever @freddiesheaux @fatbottomedgirll et all ....fetishising LBGTQ bodies and sex lives?
This is a grossly inappropriate curiosity. Carolyn Hendrix, a LCSW-supervisor... [gay fetishism ] comes from a sense of otherness,...For someone who doesn’t identify with queer culture or the trans and gender-diverse communities, society has created [there's] an ‘us versus them’ [mentality], ... created this narrative to form the idea that ‘we’re not them,’ which creates that inappropriate curiosity....
Yes, the cisgender, heterosexual population only has male-female relationships to base their understandings on, but that still doesn’t equal a green light for them to ask invasive questions to queer folks.
..with the myriad of ways for straight couples to have sex, we don’t see an endless parade of queer folks asking their straight brothers, parents, cousins, and friends who tops and who bottoms.
Could that be, perhaps, because we understand that questions of this nature are wild invasions of privacy?
***The fact that this courtesy of privacy is not extended to queer people is explained****
It's bigotry. It's a cloaked form of homophobia. Plain and simple
The little girls and young women doing this all over instagram, (many of which Thor is engaging with to have them help him make money off of their observations of Freddie's life)
LBGTQ people are not YOURS to play with, little girls. I’m tired of straight people's homosexual-sexual terrorism of Queer bodies and sexual acts.
Gay bodies and sex lives not in existence for straight people's entertainment. titillation and prejudiced obsession.
A fetish like this is an extremely WARPED fixation to "Others'.
There are sexual fetishes and nonsexual fetishes: both are obsessive.
What they've been doing is a strange proclivity in excessive and irrational obsession of gay bodies and sexual acts.
Using LBGTQ bodies and sex lives as fodder for adolescent and young cis women's titillation and entertainment is a horrendous trend happening.
Do you really think it's ok for these young girls to be writing up sexual fan fiction fetishisising Freddie and Jim's sex lives and explicitly talking about their bodies?
This is NOT OK.
This is based in prejudice, "Otherism" and homophobia. They think they cloak it in being "open" to gay sexual activity that justifies their behavior. But it doesn't.
Just like it's not ok for White people to be discussing and fetishising Black people's body parts, and what their sexual activity must be like, making jokes about their hair,
or considering who is more "authentically black" based on skin color etc...
The same holds true for respecting gay men and not using their bodies and sex lives as foder for adolecent and young cis women's titilation and entertainment.
WHY ARE STRAIGHT FOLKS OBSESSED WITH LGBTQ FOLKS’ BODIES AND SEX LIVES?

I want to say an enormous THANK YOU to Mika for translating and transcribing the German chat show where they showed the Freddie Hologram (though I did wish they could have shown a hologram of a time when he didn't look so very poorly)
That was so very kind of you to take the time to do that for us and I know we all appreciate it.
When I've seen the video before I've wondered what was being said. Thank you!
I love the thought of Phoebe standing in for Debbie! Wonder if he wore the black mini dress?! LOL!
Lovely to see some of my favourite posters active. Nice to have Katydyd5 back in the mix again.
Welcome to our newbies ( well _most_ of them) I hope you find joy and enlightenment in this thread. And yes Freddie IS getting legend! He is immortal! He seems somehow every bit as much a part of our lives and culture as ever he was. Shows the power, influence and charisma of this amazing man.
If anyone is wondering my stick insects are still healthy and all present and correct and growing at a rate if knots!
Hope you all have a great Thursday. Is it Bank Holiday for anywhere else in the world on Monday?
Bye Bye

I don't know how "more than a legend" became "getting legend", but that was what I was typing !!! Crikey!

Mika, thanks for the translate :)
FreddieDearien why are you even listing Queen_Memes.KL in your stupid straight girls rant when she's gay and pretty open about being gay? Again you're trying to troll but it's not working. How much money have you raised for the Mercury Phoenix Trust? Because she's raised a shit ton with her page. But I guess she's just some straight girl who loves gay men too much and contributes nothing to Freddie and such huh. Get a fucking life you dip. You already got busted for lying about "Larry". You're just embarrassing yourself at this point.
