:( *UPDATE* Virtual Ticket for Queen + Adam Lambert Hammersmith Apollo Show;
.
UPDATE 
.
Thank you to all of you for your awesome feedback, but it looks like it isn't gonna happen;
Email from Phil Symes;
This is not going to be possible I am afraid. The promoters have advised that here is not time to set this up properly.
Sorry we couldn’t be more helpful.
Phil
.
Your feedback and interest is so appreciated. a VyRT of one of the Queen + Adam Lambert Hammersmith Apollo shows would have been beyond amazing, but with the timing thing being a major factor working against this, it would have been a rush job and the quality may have suffered.
That is understandable, it is Queen and Adam Lambert after all - artists with incredibly high standards (perfectionists)
.
HOPEFULLY Queen + Adam Lambert will come to North America *fingers crossed* and perhaps there might be a VyRT IF that show was to happen? (we can dream right? 
)
.
Perhaps VyRT is something that Adam will consider for future shows on the Trespassing tour
or
as @cb and a few others suggested - the upcoming Fantasy Springs show???
.
*Note to RCA* Please Fantasy Springs VyRt us??? NO PRESSURE of course! 
.
Thanks SO much again for your feedback & enthusiasm - i wish the news was better. sorry.

hey Guys,
i sent this information to someone in Brian May's camp asking if they would possibly consider doing something like this for one of the sold out Queen + Adam Lambert shows at the Hammersmith Apollo within an hour he got back to me and said that he had forwarded my email to the concert promoter and band management to see what they thought of this.
.
This would be an awesome way for us to 'attend' the show and get a top notch quality stream. it would also possibly benefit Queen, Adam, the promoter and the venue in more ways than one.
.
Please take a read and leave feedback IN THE REPLIES on whether you would purchase an online 'virtual ticket' to one of the Hammersmith Apollo shows.
If we get enough ppl and good feedback, i'll FORWARD THIS LINK on AO to Phil and the promoter (Paul Roberts) for feedback purposes only - NO PRESSURE - just to show that there is interest.

I believe this is actual footage from the 30 Seconds To Mars VyRT - awesome quality! Perhaps they could use the recorded stream to create the DVD we all so desperately want? IDK?

Thank you, Carter, for all your efforts. Hopefully, the interest has raised awareness that we would certainly welcome and pay for a VyRT ticket in the future! For those of us who can't attend concerts, this would have been a dream come true. Looking forward to a VyRT in the future
I think I know why there's not going to be a stream, just found this on twitter:
Trish @GlamTravler
Security outside the Apollo just told us they are set to film for a DVD. Major recording Saturday, but they are set to film all the shows.
I hope this is true!!!
.
@carter - thank you for all your work.
I love this idea of the virtual ticket.....I am hoping that this will be considered at a future time. Thanks for getting the ball rolling on this and putting the idea into motion.
Well, it was a beautiful idea. Yes, maybe future consideration will be given to it by the parties involved in other venue shows. We can hope.
What a fantastic idea so sad now to hear that it cant be , as not enough time . Lets hope that for future concerts it can be sorted so Adam fan's all over the world could buy a virtual ticket . Thank you for trying so hard xx:) Ps Love to all Glamys
@Carter...That was a wonderful effort to try for the virtual tickets.Thanks for trying to make this happen.I wish it could have become a reality, but at least we got to dream about it for a few days.Hopefully we'll get to see some awesome videos at least.
thanks so much for trying @Carter,,,,it was so worth a shot and I can understand that if there was not enough time to do it "right', Queen and Adam certainly would not want to do it at all. You are right...there's always next time
@carter - Thanks soooooo much for trying! This was a wondeful idea and, as always, you took it beyond the conceptual to actually doing the "grunt work" to try to make it happen for us!
xxoo
big hugs!

I screen capped today's Wroclaw ustream and it topped out somewhere around 7300 total views with 1700 current in the counter under the image...
Maybe TPTB need to see numerical documentation ... plus the petition numbers...
and I believe this stream was very Glambert... not as many Queen fans ...so with the proper promo... a live stream is bound to be a winner
.
Awww, too bad it couldn't be worked out THIS time.
Thank you, Carter, for taking the idea/hope for something like this by many fans and actually taking the initiative to make the necessary contacts to get the ball rolling.
@Carter,
Thank you so much for thinking of this and following through.We are well organize to request one for the future and our interest has already been proven thanks to you.
I'm still hoping we will get a dvd from Ukraine's show.The stream for that was amazing.I feel pretty spoiled from seeing that one so I do understand why they won't have one that they don't have time to make perfect.
I know it was the first one but there is something magical about Ukraine and its 350,000 people audience.
Also,if they don't cost to much to produce (no slick stuff)that money can all go to Ukraine's AID'S charity.
Thank you so much, Carter. Maybe you have planted a seed that will bring this to us if they decide to bring this tour to the U.S.
Please, Universe, let it happen!!!!
Thank you Carter, for all your effort on this.
It would reduce the amount of cell phone cameras Adam has to look at. At least they are aware of the demand for it now and maybe they will offer it in the future.
At least we tried. They complain about all the videos being taken and uploaded to YouTube and this would appear to solve some of the dilemma. I think that after a show has been sold out, then they should offer VyRT to the fans. Many fans have hectic schedules and are on a tight budget due to the economy and can't attend the concerts, however, they would be able to participate by purchasing a digital ticket. I realize that there’s a great deal of expense in recording a live concert but that too would satisfy fans if they could pre-order a DVD of the concert.
I would have replied sooner on this but couldn't get the page to load. Thinking it may have been 'busy'. But for what it's worth, yes, I would have bought a ticket for a virtual concert with Queen-Adam. Do see what can be worked out. Is it really so hard? Come on, we've watched TONS of clumsy fan videos (some awesome ones too) and survived and been delighted by them. Not persnickety in this camp!
YES!!
YES!!! I can't wait!!! I really want that!!!
Well, Rats!
I'm not even hoping anymore for a Queen/Adam gig here in the states as Eber & Neil are going to the London shows. Maybe a DVD?
YES !!!
Would definitely buy one. There's no problem viewing in the US? Some of the UK sites won't let you view them here. It would definitely be worth it to see them in concert!
yes, yes, yes x 10000000000000000000000 times. I think it will be along time before we see Adam in Australia, so yes yes yes..........a DVD would be awsome.
Oh, yeh....what a fun party that would be...
Yes, yes, yes; a thousand times yes. This is so exciting. Couldn't afford to fly to London, but this is the next best option.
Count me in>> This granny loves technology
YES - Is this going to happen??? Let's do it!!
.

This is the kind of thing that makes life so awesome.....
so.... hoping it happens
Yes. And a DVD too, Pleeeeeeeze.
I would purchase a virtual ticket in a heartbeat! Support Adam? ABSOLUTELY!!!!
YES!!! What a great party. I'd love to buy a ticket. These concerts with Queen are music history...we all need to be there.
Yes and DVD too
Oh YES.....If it is QUEEN & ADAM this would be fantastic. Hoping for a official DVD release in near future. I know a lot of concerts are recorded, but seem to never make it to DVD for all the QUEEN & ADAM fans. So with said would purchase Virtual Ticket for Hammersmith. Great venue for this gig.....
Hey, Carter, I did see on the vyrt site that 30 Sec offered a HD download too. Is that usually offered too? And the stream looked like it was very high quality.
You ready to contact Fantasy Springs now?
.

Fox Vegas also sent it to Brain May as she had discussed the possibility of a DVD and PPV when he contacted her to thank her for the Congrats Group card.
