5900 tickets still available 4 months after going on sale. Safe to say this won't be a "sold out" tour. I think a lot of the glow the band enjoyed due to the movie with the general public here in the States has started to fade. It was nice while it lasted, though. So this tour has a lower percentage of unsold tickets than the Hot Space 82 tour! What’s your point? My original point that seems to have gotten lost is that they added dates supposedly to satisfy demand in places where the first date didn't even sell out and the second date is even worse.

Well now officially 27 days until they play in Toronto and I'm already getting excited. Not seen them play since QPR at the Brixton Academy MANY YEARS Ago

The Queen Extravaganza are touring the UK/ Europe from early 2024.. think this means Queen + AL won't be. Far as I know they've never toured at the same time.

On former tours they usually continued and went to Australia & New Zealand. There are no words about that (for now?), but I wouldn’t expect Queen + Adam to tour Europe until later. Make it at least summer 2024. They always have a few months break after one leg of a tour. Also, by now I think they might take one step at a time. Brian and Roger aren’t the youngest and they might want to see how they can cope with the longer US Tour now, until they’re ready to be booked for another tour.

Ed White from the QAL crew posted a great map of the QAL tour on IG. The tour is close, it seems the band and crew members are slowly but surely on their way to meet in the States. And if I‘m not mistaken, then Ed revealed where the rehearsals will take place? www.instagram.com/reel/CxTekcLK1FI/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==

Any wishes for the setlist? I just want SOME changes. 😂
But if I really had a wish, I would put It‘s Late back on the setlist. This had been so good! (Video from 2017 - has it been that long ago already?)

(Video from 2017 - has it been that long ago already?) I'll be miffed if they do It's Late in the US again, having missed out on it the UK! 😉 You can have Dancer and Body Language. Oh, and Delilah as an encore. 😁

Anyone have any updated sales figures? Are there still thousands of unsold seats?

Not to mention how slow they performed Stone Cold Crazy before it was dropped. Even slower than the studio version in some performances like this one! I'd call that a relaxed performance. 🙂 Stoned Cold Crazy?

One Vision followed by WWRY Fast would be a killer opener... Save Me would be a great idea, too. I don’t think they played it after the European tour 2015? Personally, Save Me was THE song that persuaded me about Adam as a fitting front man for Queen (in today’s form). In combination with Who Wants To Live Forever, which had followed immediately during these 2015 concerts, it was his absolute master piece. I was completely stunned. Like many had been when Adam had started Save Me a capella. Apart from Adam’s voice I could only hear the ventilation system of the arena in Berlin. More than 10k people had suddenly fallen silent and had just listened. Until Brian and Roger had set in with the first refrain. So, back from memory lane - it would for sure be a great (re-) addition to the setlist. If you missed it in 2015, this is a video of Save Me that I found on YT from my first QAL concert (not my video, I was sitting high up in the nose bleeds).

There’s never been thousands of unsold tickets since the day they went on sale!! There were approximately 5700 unsold tickets in June...two months after they went on sale. They would have sold 99% of these within a day, if they scratched the crazy VIP prices and sold these tickets for normal prices. These were all either very expensive tickets ($800+) or some single tickets. Ticketmaster did release some new tickets for some venues a couple of weeks ago though. Most of these are gone by now, but some are still left. So you could get tickets for most shows at the moment, but they’re very expensive, from my point of (European) view. In the end we are still talking about only 1-2% of tickets, the huge majority is long sold.

Anyone have any updated sales figures? Are there still thousands of unsold seats? Out of curiosity I went and checked the availability at all the US venues on Ticketmaster. Here is my result: a bit more than 1000 tickets aren’t sold yet. The strange thing is the very last concert. There are as many tickets available for that one as for the other 22 concerts combined. What’s also strange about this last concert is that the available tickets are whole section at the front, right and left from the stage. No idea, what happened there. Unsold tickets (not counting resales, although there aren’t that many either): Baltimore 1: ~125 Baltimore 2: 60 Toronto 0 Detroit 26 NYC 1: 41 NYC 2: 78 Boston 1: 5 Boston 2: 23 Atlanta: 5 Nashville: 0 St.Paul 1: 3 + 11 VIP Gold St. Paul 2: 57 + & VIP Gold Chicago 1: 31 Chicago 2: 17 + 20 VIP Gold Dallas 1: 9 Dallas 2: 25 Denver 1: 0 Denver 2: 0 San Francisco 1: 31 San Francisco 2: 14 LA 1: 36 LA 2: ~500-600 This makes 625 for 21 concerts and about the same amount for the last one. Almost all of the unsold tickets are very expensive Platinum Tickets, which must have been released later, because they’re usually whole rows. My guess is that were reserved for the band and crew and weren‘t claimed. Apart from these rows most are single seats. 14.000 tickets per venue on average Unsold Tickets:~ 1200 for all Result: ~0.35% tickets are left. Not too bad.

So out of approximately 434,000 tickets, approximately 1000 are unsold…. I’d say that’s a success despite your best efforts too poo poo the situation!

This video is new to me, but apparently Iheart Radio published it about half a year ago. Maybe it’s even a bit older. Brian, Roger and Adam doing some talk about the items in their surprise box and nice promo for the upcoming US Tour.

Does anyone have an idea if "new" songs will be included in the setlist? Some forum here in Italy, a few days ago, hypothesized that 'Cool Cat', 'Face It Alone' and 'Is This The World We Created...?' will be part of the set...I have no idea if there is a source that has stated this information.

I really can’t imagine Face It Alone being part of the setlist. It’s not a song that the Greatest Hits fans will know, and that is largely who are buying most of the tickets. However Cool Cat, after it’s recent world wide exposure might be a song suited to AL. Is This The World We Created might get selectively played as a bit of a deep cut. It’s introduction into The Works tour was a bit of a stand out moment and it was played at Live Aid, so who knows! we’ll find out next month!

But Brian and Adam said in an interview, that Brian wanted to include Is This The World We Created and Adam apparently agreed. It sounded like this is a sure one for the upcoming tour. Unless they don’t like it at rehearsals. Cool Cat got a lot of exposure lately and has been mentioned by Adam years ago already. It might very well get a chance this time. This is also an interesting and interview about the changes for the second round of the Rhapsody Tour from half a year ago. From about 4 minutes in they talk about the stage and effects and then about the songs (from about 8:30min). But there were no decisions made and so no real news at the time of the interview.
