Q3, I think this may have been discussed previously, but I don't remember if a conclusion was reached. I am wondering how VIP tickets get counted in the Box Scores. I asked the question at another site & got an answer that makes sense to me. She/he said the numbers are included in the tickets sold. However, any thing over the highest normal ticket price, for that show, goes into merchandise. The is the reason we don 't see any shows with tickets at $495 or $1295 being reported. So, the highest priced regular tickets at The Forum, for example, was $171. So the $$ over that for VIPS, goes into merchandise. This makes sense to me. Do you think this is correct? If it is, that means many dollars are not included in each box score total!! 100s of thousands! Yes, I am sure that the boxscore is ONLY the base ticket value. It excludes the VIP upgrades, it excludes all sales that do not go through the box office which in some venues includes all of the Club tickets sales. The VIP upgrades are merchandise sales processed by VIP Nation a division of LiveNation. I have confirmed this with both Billboard and various boxoffices. The other big exclusion are comp tickets which are a big part of the casino shows -- the artists get compensated for these seats but they never show up in the box score. There were a lot of them at the Hard Rock and Mohegan Sun shows. ** I was maniacal about ticket sales data for Glam Nation Tour, but not for this tour. It is a mostly sold out tour, with above average ticket prices and a lot of additional revenue streams. All parties Queen, Adam, Live Nation and the other promoters, will make a lot of money. We will never know how much but I am happy knowing it is a big number.

The time for the rest of the Australia concerts is gonna kill me -- I am an owl not a lark! Perhaps I will just not sleep! I am a lark! Would take 5 am over 3 am any time! I will be skipping the OZ live streams! Hopefully it won't take 3 days for good videos to show up! Unless Q3 is at her home away from home, it would be at 6 am for her, and for me too. And I am also a night owl, so 6 am is really hard. I would much rather stay up for 3 am.

I usually go to sleep around 4AM. I am really not sure I can do 6AM? And I am in Ohio now -- so Eastern Time Zone. :( Yes, I would love to be in Vancouver BC. Need any extra American Marketing Execs?

Taking a friend to a concert tonight so will be getting back home after midnight. May just stay up and catch the twitter feed and wait for the stream. Concert time for me is 3:00 AM. Sleep can be overrated sometimes.

It seems like the owls are outnumbered here. Larks seems to rule the world. Have you ever noticed that the "hard working" employees are the ones who show up early -- like 7AM and leave at 4PM, and the "eccentric" employees are the ones who work 10AM to 9PM or midnight -- working many more hours but getting far less credit. It is the tyranny of the larks!
But remember, owl can eat larks. They make a nice snack! Thankfully for all you larks around here I am a vegetarian owl!

Considering I wake up at 5 am every day to baby sit a 2 year old, staying up all night is not an option! Hoping for fast vids!

I tell myself often, Linda I say, now don't be mean but that devil on my shoulder sometimes just gets the better of me. I want to preface this by saying I think Taylor Swift is a gorgeous girl and her song-writing obviously tapped into a deep need of teenage girls but really, I mean really ... tinyurl.com/mtm32vtI was going to post the sound check of Adam singing Chokehold but it is just not fair. <wryly> If anyone has a cross-account at mj's they might want to post Adam's soundcheck there. They're discussing Taylor's vocals as well and at least one person is wailing "unfair to women because no one does these stripped vocal comparisons to men".
