Hi everyone! I have two VIP tickets for the Sunday April 3rd show in LA. They are fantastic seats, row B, seats 9 and 11 (next to each other). That is the second row from the stage, the 5th and 6th seats over from the center aisle. I tried to get the venue to let me keep them, and allow me to sit over on the side near the front in my wheelchair, but I finally accept defeat and will be in the wheelchair section in the back. I am selling them for list value ($502 each), and will pick them up at will call for you (since VIP tickets are non-transferrable). If interested, please DM me. Thanks! -Athena1979 (Meghan) Hey Athena, I sent you a DM. I hope it went through. |

Isn't kinkykiedis the fan that takes such great vids? If I got a M & G with Adam I do believe I would say what I wanted to Adam, after all, it doesn't take but a few minutes and can be said while getting in pose position for the pic! You have waited a long time for this moment to have your few words with Adam...I say...go for it!JMHO What's this camera lady becoming known as...the nazi photograper/and/or/new tour PR manger?lol
I think she was also the one that caught a 'dry feed' of just Adam during QAL. Regarding the M&G, they are billed as 'photo ops' which apparently means you just get a picture with Adam, not that you get to talk to him. A matter of seconds, not minutes. Of course, nobody is taping anybody's mouth shut. So I would also just go for it and say what I would want to say. Although it really can't take too long, when 70+ people are all going to talk for a few minutes, the show will be very late indeed and Adam a lot more tired at the end. Everyone I know that has had the photo op has talked to Adam. That"don't talk to Adam" rumor was debunked. |

Ouch. They were around $200US for OZ/NZ as an add on. I don't know if EU basic tic prices are low....if so, maybe not too bad totalled. Ticket prices were about 45 dollars. So over 400 dollars for photo op. It's a lot of money. Especially younger fans are not amused. They were going to que early to get front row. That is taken away now. They don't have the money. Not sure what I'm going to do. Only going to two concerts. Was hoping to be in the front for at least one of those. Now I don't know. US M&Gs were around $500, including the ticket. |

 Considering Canada has gotten totally snubbed for any kind of tour I would consider myself lucky if I could ever seem him without having to fly somewhere. I am actually missing my one chance to see him in Vegas this time because its my granddaughter's 18th birthday.(legal drinking age here, lol) and I have pledged to put on a big family gathering. I was so hoping he would at least do Vancouver but alas that isn't going to happen. I swear I went into a small depression when I realized I wasn't going to get to see him on this tour. But I am thankful that I have seen him in the past with Queen (and spent a crazy amount of money to do so). I do not regret it however, as I still hold all of those memories close. ahhhh. as far as the price of VIPs. Madonna was $1700, no M$G for first row, Ozzy was 1000 for M&G *400 for 3rd row, Pink was 800/ 2 tickets without a M&G, so I really think Adam is pretty reasonable when compared to other big names. You have to do what you can and are willing to afford. I am so grateful that this fandom are such amazing videographers.

I came across Adam's tweet about Tori Kelly having the most gifted and exciting voice from a few weeks back, and I decided to check out even more of Tori Kelly's music. I knew that she was a good singer, but after hearing her album and many live performances of hers, I was so, so, so impressed. Her voice has so many layers, and she also has that kind of voice that doesn't need any backing vocals, because her voice just fills the entire room. Very much like Adam's voice. And something interesting I noticed was she's got amazing vocal control, she's known for her complicated but perfectly executed vocal riffs. (As a plus, I love her philosophy. I quote a song from her album: "Just a California girl with big dreams, thinking maybe they’ll let me sing songs about real things. And baby who knows maybe I can sell out shows without taking off my clothes") Check out these videos below. Would love to hear what you guys think about her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj-DzQIXWScwww.youtube.com/watch?v=Taf7BfhFY9Awww.youtube.com/watch?v=wpHdmnEfgoswww.youtube.com/watch?v=TSbQDbC5j2oAlso another interesting thing about her, she earned her fame when she did covers on YouTube, that's how she gained a huge fanbase. After she got kicked out of Idol, she started writing original music and got noticed by Scooter Braun (Bieber's manager) and got signed with Capitol Records. Here's an old video of her singing MJ's Pretty Young Thing -- I love her vocal run at 2:24! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsVNgB_DS_gHere was Adam's tweets about her btw: http://instagr.am/p/tZIYnXrehU |

Yea, you get to try to talk to him, but there was really no interaction for me. I had less than 25 secs. I came in and said I couldn't believe I was here as I walked to him. I looked at him as we stood for our picture and said that his music spoke to me and then held on to his hand and said I wished him nothing but wonderful things! I think he said "AWWW". The photo op lady kind of commands you to look at her and take the picture within 10 secs of getting in the room and then you are on your way out. I was shocked at how little time there was, as I figured I would at least get to say my name. I hoped for a hug, but figured that was not something to ask for. I just couldn't do that. It was a little disappointing, but I do know it was a photo op, not a meet and greet and with 50 or more folks waiting in line, he can't be chatting with each person and using up his voice. The concert made up for any lingering disappointment. It was awesome. I don't understand how other folks are getting this "I connected with him feeling", as that was just not my perception at all. The time was simply too short and I wonder why he does these (although I know it is the money!!) as it is just another drag on his time and he already looked really tired at the start of the tour in Foxwoods. Seeing as how he seems to be constantly not feeling well, you wonder if this is a wise course. For me I won't be spending money on another photo op. Once in a lifetime was enough. I was told by several mega fans that it was totally different in the beginning when there was more time for a "connection". Now things are different, which is fine! I have a nice picture (on my desktop) and I will be happy sitting in the audience listening to him sing in the future! As long as your expectations are reasonable, you will enjoy the Photo Op, but you can't go in expecting a lot.

I am not getting to see TOHT so perhaps that's making me rather unsympathetic to the whining about VIP's getting up front. Given there's been VIP's on the other legs of the tour, they should have expected it. Be happy you are getting to see Adam live. It gets old constantly seeing tweets and comments that are generally pretty freaking selfish. Get over yourselves. I've not been up front, nor have I ever met Adam. That's life, I'm not going to whine about it. Frankly, my attitude is if it upsets you so much, then don't go to his shows. Thank you!! Been biting my tongue all day... couldn't agree more, no shows on this tour for me either, nor have I met him :/ |

US M&Gs were around $500, including the ticket. At many of the US concerts, there have also been radio winners who got M&Gs and great seats or VIP floor locations. Also, at my concerts, the M&G VIPs had lots of young fans in their 20's. The $500 price did not seem to be an issue for some "young fans" -- although a few were with their moms, most were not. And there were a lot of young men in Chicago in the VIP line. |
