Wish them well but.......

More room for me!!!!

Unless they market themselves well, including doing plenty of interviews on TV and radio, this tour will be a bust. I think many, if not most of the venues will be far from full. If they played two shows in the US in October and couldn't sell them out, then I forsee some problems happening next year.

they sold out a lot of arenas in the us in their hey day and the fact is that they had freddie then and dont now. They need to choose better places to go to now.

While it would be better for them if all the shows were to sell-out, they realize that ANY show is a long-term investment for them. They are able to reach a large NEW fan base who could easily be buying additional cd's and dvd's for the next 25 years. So they look at the long-term revenue potential as well as the immediate profits of the concert. In effect, they create an annuity for themselves.

Enough of the boring financial stuff. We need to remember that these guys really enjoy performing. It's an adrenaline rush for them, and it's good for their egos. And of course we, the fans, eat it up, as the adrenaline rush works for us too. And I always get emotional fulfillment from the music and feeling connected to Brian. He and I are brothers (in the personal characteristics and emotional make-up sense).[/QUOTE]

Well said my friend. Thanks for posting this. Brian is indeed our "brother"....:)

Don't worry Mr. farenheit...I'm sure they know what they're doing...the promoters have done their homework...don't underestimate them lol.

why do people insist NJ was not a sellout-it was!!the return seats were sold and counted.i was there-all seats sold i promise.we dont count seats in mega arenas behind the stage unless concert is in the "round".If billboard lists the show as a sellout-it is!and do you think the same promoter would have booked them if he thought these shows would flop?dont worry my euro friends-we will be there!

Really what are you talking about?? There were empty seats in New Jersey. Not many, but there were empty seats. I saw them with my own eyes. It was very nearly a sellout. They were around 400 short of selling out.

Billboard did not list NJ as a sellout, just LA.

It was a sell-out. All the seats were sold = sell out. I tried getting a ticket 2 days before the show and couldn't....so why are you telling me it wasn't sold out...they do reserve seats for certain purposes...and these seats are not always filled..but that doesn't count against it being sold out.

Not everybody who buys a ticket makes it to the show.

peiter-sold out meaning each ticket for sale sold.if you went to ticket window that night at the meadowlands for todays event there was a sign.it read FUCK OFF no more seats.that means sell out even if brokers have them or someone died and could not attend.and in LA they played the worst venue ever made for a rock show and came within 320 seats of a sellout,a remarkable achievement considering the sorry promoting.now everywhere you turn here its Queen.a great buzz and this tour will prove it.all that being said some of these towns they have chosen makes you wonder if they should wake harvey goldsmith up and bring his fat ass to the states.

I looked two days before the show and could get a block of 7 tickets in the floor next to the catwalk.

im sorry Pieter for the mistake.you seem like a great fan and your posts are always spot on-just not this one

I really don't care if it was soldout or not, and at the end of the day 400 tickets here or there makes no difference. At least they are coming back.
