Queen + Adam Lambert in Chicago
Location: Chicago, IL
Venue: United Center
Capacity with endstage and catwalk: around 19,500.
Status: Close to sold out. Scattered single tickets, some side seats and a few odd clumps of tickets hwere and there.
If you are looking to upgrade, there are two really good options.
They have released some tickets in Section 5, in front of the soundboard – great seat for audio and only $185. There also are some new floor tickets in Section 3 at $185 released yesterday.
Plus, resellers are holding a lot of tickets for this show and are finally reducing their prices. There are some deals in the resale market.

About tonight’s venue
The United Center is a very large arena – second largest in the US in seating capacity and largest for sheer volume. It was designed for hockey and basketball but is a pretty great place for a rock concert. In 2010 a writer for the Chicago Tribune provided this rundown of the best seats for rock-pop concerts.
…. the United Center opened its doors in 1994, and is home to the city's basketball and hockey franchises, the Bulls and the Blackhawks. But when the balls or pucks aren't flying, the UC plays host to some of the biggest touring musical acts around.
Best seat/acoustics: If you can snag one of the newly added theater suites, go for it. Because the stage usually is located on the west end of the arena, these seats offer a direct line to the sound system and are at the same level. Another excellent choice is in section 5, row 8, which is on the floor when the room is set up in an end-stage configuration, because concertgoers are in the exact middle of the floor next to the sound board, where engineers perfect the mix. A third option is section 234, row 1, which puts music lovers directly in line with the bottom of a speaker stack.
Best seat/sightlines: Section 113, Row 6. These seats are just in front of the stage and positioned at stage level for most shows, providing direct viewing of the goings-on. "In many instances it's almost like you're sitting on stage with the band," he says.
Best/overall: Section 119, row 8. As Miley Cyrus might say, it's the best of both worlds in these seats, as they provide a great view of the stage and excellent sound. From here, "the guest will often feel as if they are part of what is happening on stage as well as the back of the house," operations manager Terry Savarise says. Also notable are seats in row 16 of sections 104 and 108, because the sound here is great and the stair configuration leaves you with no seats (and no standing people) in front of you, he said.
