  1. That's because it's a Prince's Trust event and at least 30% of the seats were given to various VIPs and sponsors, not fans.

     

    I was in the Rausing Circle, Block Y ("cheap" seats), and almost everyone was standing, singing, and very much into it. It makes such a difference, rather than people talking and looking at their phones the whole time. :stunned:

     

    On the way out, we looked into the posh boxes on Level 2, which had been left open. You would really feel quite isolated if you were in there, with just your champagne and snacks (crisps, macaroons, pretty cakes, etc) to make you feel special. Incidentally, there was loads left over and you could have done a serious snack raid for the journey home.

  2. Just got mine, you need to go here http://click.e.wbr.com/?qs=3adc884fa7e0ca052f66c81d5c77d7da4a961359ec788798d377ac5de8c8c444dd0fd309c015fe728c42eb1a8f205b6c6ce41562b937c4c9

     

    (The link in the fan club email)

     

    I was trying the password they sent me for ages and it said it was working and unlocked tickets for sale but they stayed locked. I just tried SIMULATION as the code instead and it actually unlocked them for sale.

     

    How hard is it to set this stupid sale up ticketmaster?

     

    Cheers for that - still no email this morning. :stunned:

     

    Pitch standing, GA5... although as a gashead I'm still conflicted about the venue (it's a Bristol thing). :rolleyes:

  3. Yeap, disappointed here. Expected to see the London gig to sell out quickly and an extra date added.

    Have they lost a few fans or are the ticket prices getting a bit too high? If the change in direction has lost some older fans it could gain them some new one's but maybe it's to soon for the new one's to get on board yet.

     

    Speaking as an older fan, I'm okay with the new direction (although I adored Drones), but won't be going the London Stadium gig, and I'm only in Oxfordshire.

     

    The price doesn't help, but it's mainly the venue that's putting me off: the running track means the seats are a long way back from the pitch; East London is impossible to get back from by train the same night on a Saturday, which means paying for a hotel; and frankly I feel disconnected from the band in a big stadium and end up watching the screens - I don't want a 'show' with lots of extra stuff because otherwise people at the back can see bog-all, I just want the band giving it 100% on stage.

  4. I wonder if the fact you can only re-sale tickets at face value (is that correct?) is making it easier for us. No more bots buying up the tickets.

     

    Hope they do the same system for the main tour.

     

    And they are quite expensive. Hope they don't do that for the main tour. Less production, more songs, please.

     

    got ma tickets! Rear circle. too old to stand these days!:LOL:

     

    Side Circle; too old to stand as well.

     

    Muse Gig #37.

  5. Watching on BBC 4 and the sound levels/ mix is right off:stunned:

     

    Just been rewatching the recordings from last night (with massive thunderstorm in background today :D), and the mix is horrible - was Chris's mic actually working at all? Quite disappointed, tbh - the recordings from Download last year had a much better mix. Maybe it sounded better if you were there.

  6. An excellent performance from the band and the crowd :D; a pity some of the drones weren't working.

     

    Lots of British Musers in Madrid - we brought the weather with us! :stunned:

     

    Kudos to the shop assistant who saw my #MuseMSF badge and swapped the music on the PA system to Muse.

  7. Well, either way we can see his heart didn't seem in it.

     

    I don't know about that, but general guitar abuse (like chucking one away twice) usually seems to indicate that something's amiss. There was a bit of unintentional feedback at times through the amplifiers, so I wonder if that was also true of the in-ear monitors that the band have - if you can't hear properly what you sound like then it throws you off.

  8. Finally also learned the lesson about "in the round" gigs after having had the same problem with U2 last year. If you want to see the video wall, don't get seats on the ends!

     

    Wish I'd known that for the O2 gig next week.:mad: It would help if Matt and Chris spent a bit more time at the ends of the runways to make up for it, though.

     

    But I cannot describe how happy I was to see the balloons back again. Simple things please this old-timer.

     

    Just found a bit of the tissue from the fountain in my bag. It's shaped like a person - creepy! :eek:

  9. You have got me worried now, what row were you on? I was standing last night and it was fantastic - block 101 at Manchester next Saturday which looks to be in the same area you were :(

     

    My London tickets are much the same - seated in an end block. :( Just as well I was standing last night.

     

    The low seated blocks at Brum from the pre-sale were not good. The crowd was thin at that end because there was no public exit for those standing, which can kill an atmosphere. Maybe the crowd is why they played the set straight through and didn't break for an encore? Whilst I enjoyed a bit of personal space, I could have thumped those four blokes near me who spent half the gig chatting and taking selfies. I mean, who can chat with this setlist?

  10. I didn't need it for LiveNation. And I got my tickets!! :awesome:

    Right now the system is really slow, wonder when the tickets will sold out

     

    Thank you for the tip in your post yesterday. :dance:

     

    Still some available a few minutes ago when I got mine, but I'm in the upper section of level 2 block 15. Only the higher level seats are available right now (56 euros - why so much cheaper than London? :stunned:). Never mind, I've been up in the top level before now - great view but I've had a headache from all the second hand smoke after a while.
