  1. I thought about buying cheaper tickets in the general sale and then selling my platinum ones but what other eejit would pay £555 for two tickets? I asked my husband before I did it and reminded him that we have not had a holiday for five years. I will NEVER pay that much again!
  2. I got my code last night but forgot there would be a waiting room. When I logged on at 9am there were more than 2000 people ahead of me. I was so afraid of not getting tickets I went to Ticketmaster and bought two platinum tickets. £555. I expect the seats to be gold-plated and the show to be the best ever, maybe get to snog the band.
  3. I got my code last night!
  4. So is it really only people who pre order the album today that get the presale code? What about those of us who pre ordered as soon as it was possible to do so?
  5. 1. Emirates Stadium, London 2012. 2. Newport Centre, South Wales, ? 3. O2, London, same year as 2. 4. The London Stadium, 2018? So big I could barely see Murph from the back. Hated the lasers. Massive screen over band's head. Paranoid that it was going to fall on them. Lasers? I couldn't have cared less. I wanted to see MUSE!
  6. Hi everyone. I don't go on here much these days. When no London date was announced I was very disappointed. I have ME/Chronic fatigue syndrome and can't go to big venues without a companion. My husband came to see Muse with me a few years ago when they played an intimate gig in Newport, South Wales (it was wonderful!) a few years ago as it's only 12 miles from home but he won't travel to see them. My son is in London and has been to three gigs there with me but it's too difficult for us both to get to any of the gigs this time around. As (bad) luck would have it my health has deteriorated in the last few months so I'm praying they will come to Cardiff next time as that is where I live. We have a great stadium and I don't think they've been here since 2012. I wasn't a fan then so I missed that one. Fingers crossed!
  7. Oh My God! I'm usually the one who says, It's not as good as their early stuff, but I bloody love this! I only liked four or five tracks from the last album so I wasn't expecting anything this good. I love it on one hearing. Verona is my current favourite but that may change. I have GOT to see this live! I am so disappointed that they have only announced four UK dates but I'm hoping for more.
  8. Only four dates? I don;t think I'll be going this time, unless they add more dates later.
  9. Did I misread the post? I thought a UK tour would be announced today.
  10. I got through but when I saw the price of tickets i decided to wait for wheelchair plus companion. £238.65 each!
  11. The code I received was W216L8L Did anyone receive a different code?
  12. I was in the waiting room from 8.50. Will try seated and also accessible tomorrow.
  13. Thanks! I tried accessible as well but sold out. Will try both options tomorrow.
  14. Very upset especially reading how easy some of you found it. My code was rejected and I double checked it was correct. I am disabled so I'll try for a wheelcahir space.
  15. My code has been rejected. Does that mean the presale has sold out
  16. A story on the BBC News site says that big stars are playing small venues right now. I saw Muse at the Newport Centre, South Wales, a few years ago and it was fantastic! Just the band plus Morgan. I wish they would do a few small gigs around the UK while we wait until they tour their full show again!
  17. I want to send a fan letter and the address I have is for Q-Prime Management in New York. Is that correct? They say to send an SAE for a signed photo. I live in the UK so UK stamps are no use. What should I do?
  18. I thought he was having a dig at the show which was on at Wembley at the same time.
  19. They played a small gig in Scotland when they played a small gig in Wales. Other than that they haven't played in Wales for about 9 years. London, Manchester, Birmingham, the biggest cities in the UK. I was surprised they played in Bristol. It's closer to me but I had to go to London to find someone to go with. Glasgow, Cardiff and Belfast should be part of every tour.
  20. Re lax bag checks. I had food and drinks in a carrier bag on the back of my wheelchair and they were going to let me through. I told them about it and they confiscated the sandwich. So how small IS a small amount of food? Luckily we had Nakd bars as we had a really late lunch and didn't have time to eat again before the gig. No way was I going to eat the junk on sale inside.
  21. I was at the back of the lower tier directly facing the stage. I have mild hearing loss in my right ear and moderate hearing loss in my left ear. I removed my hearing aids and listened with earplugs in. It didn't sound right so I removed the plug from my left ear. It sounded great then! The ambulant disabled seating was great but venue staff didn't seem to know what 'ambulant disabled' means. Because I was in a fold-up wheelchair I was directed to a wheelchair space. Tom Morello was so loud they couldn't hear me saying, no, my seat is in row 23. I'm going to get out of this wheelchair. They got it in the end. I wish they'd pointed out that there was an accessible toilet directly behind block 149 - we were in block 150 - so we went to the one outside the entrance to our block first. There was a queue. It was a pain in the arse having to store the wheelchair five blocks away . Most venues allow me to leave it close to the area where I am sitting. My son had to go and get it the second time I needed the loo. Luckily he saw the accessible toilet by block 149 then so I didn't have to bother him again as I can walk that far. I loved the set. I'm sorry if people further back found the screen small. I remember being on the top tier of the Etihad Stadium for the 2nd Law tour. If I hadn't been able to see the screen, there would have been no point being there. We travelled from Burnt Oak Broadway by train then from St Pancras, again by train, to Stratford International. No hassle at all. On the way back there was very little time to wait at Stratford. There was a 30 minute wait for a train from St Pancras so we got the tube to Edgware. No hassle. Journeys to and from the stadium took just over an hour. I saw Drones live and it was wonderful but I wasn't disappointed in the staging for this. I preferred the Etihad Stadium to this one, though. Too damn big. Next tour I hope they come to Cardiff instead of going to Bristol again. We have a fabulous stadium here and I don't think they've played here since 2010, before I became a fan.
  22. Finally printed my tickets! I have a seat so doors open 17.00 for us, I think. Does anyone know what time the support will be onstage? I missed most of Bastille last time because I didn't realise they'd be onstage so early. I think they came on at 18.00 so perhaps then?
  23. When I saw them at the O2 on their last tour there was such a queue for the Tube we got a bus instead. I was staying in Greenwich so it didn't take long but if you're staying further away the Tube is faster.
  24. London Stadium has confirmed that I should have been asked at point of sale for proof of my disability before buying an ambulant disabled plus companion tickets. As I wasn't asked, it's very unlikely I will be asked for proof. If I am, my proof of lower rate mobility component of PIP will be enough. Excellent!
