By 12:30 p.m. Friday tickets for “American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert's Fantasy Springs Feb. 27 concert were selling at brisk pace.
By the end of the day, ticket sales were approaching sell-out status.
Lambert is the “American Idol” contestant who lost out to Kris Allen in the May finale of the show, but since has charged ahead of his competitor when it comes to popularity.
By 7 p.m., more than 1,400 tickets had been purchased and the resort's hotel had no rooms available for the night of the Feb. 27 show, according to Fantasy Springs public relations manager Ciara Green.
“And the calls are still coming in from around the world,” Green said in an update.
Those hoping to find a nearby room were calling the Holiday Inn Express down the road, she said, but Green had no information on whether that hotel had any availability for the Feb. 27 date.
The box office phone lines remained busy all day with callers jamming the lines from the 10 a.m. opening time, she added.
Ticket-buyers began lining up at the Special Events Center box office as early as 6:15 a.m., nearly four hours before the tickets went on sale.
One woman from Orange County and another from San Diego, had each driven to the Indio casino to purchase their tickets at the box office.
“They said they had friends coming from New York and other parts of the East Coast for Adam Lambert's show,” said Green.
“I talked to a woman who was waiting at the box office this morning before it opened and she said she opened up (The Desert Sun), saw the info about the concert and ran, well drove, right down here,” Green said.
The hotel, she said, had been fielding calls throughout the night from callers as far away as Taiwan.
Phone traffic was “extremely busy all day,” with operators recommending that people log on to fantasyspringsresort.com to purchase tickets, Green said. “That way, they will not have to wait on hold for an untold amount of time.”
Fantasy Springs Resort Casino is at 84-245 Indio Springs Parkway.

I got my ticket. I'm flying in from Canada and can't wait to see Adam in a small venue instead of an arena where the acoustics are usually terrible.
