    Will this be the fifth time they've visited The O2 on an album tour? Will be the fourth tour I've seen them there and pretty sure they played there at least one other tour between its opening in 2007 and the 2nd Law tour in 2012. Can't be many bands to have played more nights at that venue, well in to double figures in terms of total dates played there.

    Now sorted, today via The O2 venue pre-sale. Should be able to buy London tickets here right now. https://www.axs.com/uk/series/18996/muse-at-the-o2-venue-presale-tickets Unsure whether you needed to have an account.... but you didn't need to be signed up for the pre sale certainly, nor have the right credit card / mobile provider

    Live Nation presale at 9am today was a farce. Got stuck on the page "sit tight we're securing your tickets" via both browsers in which I was queuing. Should have tried on my phone too. Eventually tried on the phone at 9:08 and none left. This is standing tickets for London Sunday 1st October by the way. Third time lucky tomorrow I hope...

    Signed up for seats at Plymouth, block 14. Hoping we are not too close to the stage / speakers to make it a good spectacle! Going to this one because I don't let anything get in the way of Glastonbury and the other dates all overlap. Will be in the south west in late May and late June. Something different, haven't visited Plymouth since 2010. Not expecting as good a view as we had in the seats in Bristol last time, but fingers crossed. £121 is a lot for any gig but from looking it appears to be my third £100+ gig over the next year. They obviously don't think a lot people are suffering financially at the moment. I'm doing alright but trying to think of others. I remember none of REMs stadium shows sold out in 2008 and put the recession down as a prtial factor, you could of course say they were not the force they one were at that point. Muse have tended not to be that expensive compared with peers from memory, and if it sells out they would say "what's the problem?". Also got a cheap hotel booked across the harbour.

    Snap except I am one behind you, number 14 for me £95 tickets purchased at 9:25am from Ticketmaster, for what it's worth. I'm sure you hardcore lot have all seem them in tiny special venues but strangely after 20 years this will be the smallest venue I've ever seen them in.

    One other thought - there can't be many acts that have played more shows at the O2 - this is Muse's fourth tour playing there from what I can recall. I know Prince did 21 nights but they must have played a decent number...

    I may have been the only person around here that missed out on all the pre-sale fun chat as I was on holiday.... but I got tickets through general sale this morning. One tip if you are still to buy - sorry it's a bit late - axs.com normally have the most tickets for the O2 (per my friend that used to work for the O2) and they also now do mobile tickets which should save you a postage charge.

    How much?

    Belisha Beacon replied to ipking76's topic in Gigs

    Top seats = top money? You can stand or sit somewhere else in the venue of course. I don't think Muse are expensive compared with similar bands especially given the show they put on.

    If there is a barrier it would be first come first served I would imagine. Wristbands to allow you to go in and out of the front section during the show.

    Here is the map for Muse. Looks like seating is at the front of every block and goes up pretty close.

    Ha! My girlfriend is City so it's a dream come true for her (not sure the swear filter will allow me to repeat your nickname for them...) . At least they are coming to the west of England, I live in London so everything is "easy" for me but it must be so frustrating to see the biggest bands just play London and Manchester.

    When you select "reserved seat - 2" (or whatever) Scroll down to the bottom and click "Best available >" which is the default search and you can refine it by price and/or stand. Seated prices £97.90, £76.45, £49.50, £38.50. West and east are the sides. W12- W14 and E32-E31 are the best lower tier blocks. W3 the best upper tier. Expect to be far away in the third and fourth price categories. But you should expect to get the best (and most expensive) seats by default when searching for Best Available.

    Sorted for block W13 row 27. £198.25 for 2 seats - my Bristolian girlfriend is short and likes a seat. I like a good view Will stand at another show. First time hitting Best Available I got block W14 row 15. You get 10 minutes to enter your card details so I went around one more time with a different browser to see if I could improve it. There's no seating plan on the Ticketmaster website, ridiculously, you can be sure it'll be the same as the Spice Girls one though (without the premium bit I guess).... Also general admission is "standing / unreserved seating" I would guess the South stand is the unreserved seating. Love these album pre-order windows. Good luck to those trying at 9 and on Friday

    I got nothing on Wednesday and nothing today. I am away from home so had to suffer on a mobile browser but I have good signal. Not ideal and did not have high expectations. Death by Capcha is no way to spend your holiday, nor indeed your first hour at work Pleased that a lot of keen fans appear to have grabbed tickets, hope you have the time of your lives

    My friend is travelling through China at the moment and was at this show. I mentioned the possible setlist vetting and he's just replied and said it seemed like a fairly normal setlist but they did play Citizen Erased (thought that might have got the censors excited?) He also said the light show was a fraction of what he's seen Muse roll out in the UK - effectively just the band and some lights! It started at 8pm local time (which I think is 1pm BST) with no support. The show was 90 minutes. Looks like setlist.fm has something more complete now - 18 songs. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/muse/2015/mercedes-benz-arena-shanghai-china-4bf4935a.html Uprising is a notable but unsurprising absentee.

    I've had nothing yet. Maybe they will all be sent out after the general sale on Friday.

    Regarding the prices, this is a big step up from what we've seen in the past - they have always been pretty good value on previous tours, and have said so too, so a bit of a shame to see such a hike. Radiohead were £70-75 for standing at the O2 in 2012 whereas Muse were still in the £50-55 bracket the same year (can't remember exactly how much they cost) which made me think "yeah, you are normally quite good value". They are throwing in a free copy of the album which is hopefully a sweetener to some, this gesture would have made more sense if the tour was on sale before the album was released though!!

    Yes I found this too. Pondered why for two minutes then realised I was using the first code on the Members page which is only for the French shows! I wanted standing on the Monday but happy enough with standing on the Tuesday!
  19. Belisha Beacon
    The timer is based on your own computer's clock and so does not exactly correspond to what Ticketmaster are planning - though I think this is misleading as it appears the website is telling you something very accurate. if anyone is having trouble with access codes, as my friend and I were, make sure you are using the right code for your date. When you log in to the members area, the first code you see is only for the French shows!

    I'd like to get a ticket to this too. Looks like a lovely little jaunt across the water for those in the UK not going to Download. http://www.festicket.com/ say their packages for this show are not yet on sale. A possible hope though if the general sale was 3 months ago perhaps a remote one...
  21. Belisha Beacon
    Missed out, gutted. Would love a spare if any going.

    If not Glastonbury then possibly one of those runs of Hyde Park shows that happen in early July? They are normally billed as "(Hard Rock) Calling Festival" or "British Summer Time" or even completely independent gigs such as Arcade Fire in 2011, but they effectively amount to a mini-festival all the same. An independent festival-style gig would allow Download to still have a festival exclusive too. It looks like it won't be BST as that is the same weekend as Glastonbury at the moment and Taylor Swift is already headlining their free day though there was a second weekend of it when the Stones played. The Calling Festival has typically had some fairly hard rock commercial bands playing and nothing has been announced for that yet, so something like that would be my tip. But like others I really just want more UK dates.

    Because of Werchter? I wouldn't worry about that damanging their overall chances of being at Glasto. Bands very often play both, if I recall correctly all 3 Glastonbury headliners in 2008 also played Werchter. If anything I'd say playing there increases the chances of them playing other festivals on the surrounding days.
