  1. Psst....

     

    I've been given word from management that there are going to be ~80 standing tickets released at 9am tomorrow. They're hoping to get these into the hands of real fans, so please don't share this on twitter, facebook, etc.

    To get them you need to use this link: http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/event/1F0052E3CD9FD64D?did=tmmuseforum

     

    It won't be live until the scheduled onsale time (9am) and will appear as just "Full Price Tickets" once live - as there are no VIP tickets as part of this sale.

     

    You'll have to enter a password, which is (surprise, surprise): ThePassage

     

    Good luck!

    If anyone wants to get me and Aino a nice going away present, that would be great plzthxbi.

  2. I went to London last Sunday and Manchester yesterday. Both shows had setlist pros (MAJOR pros) and cons (MAJOR cons) but I enjoyed both of them thoroughly. And I don't really remember enjoying many shows from the Resistance tour, so that's something.

     

    Also, glad I got to see them in the Manchester Arena last night. That is leagues above the O2 in so many ways.

  3. After the three Wembley Arena shows, the first three shows I saw on the Black Holes & Revelations tour I saw:

    Regardless of what songs you like/don't like, I can hardly describe what they've become as a better band than three years ago. They've somehow gotten worse. :( Most of the songs they've kept from previous tours were merely staples from the previous one give or take the odd exception. There's just no surprises anymore. It's far too predictable.

  4. Forgive me if this is a noob question,

    but is Stubhub.com a safe website to use? :erm:

    I wanted to do GA with my brother since I will only be going to one more concert this year. But I was an idiot and didn't ask until just a few weeks ago :facepalm:

     

    Hmm, they sound very similar to Seatwave and Viagogo in the UK. My advice would be not to use it. :noey: They sound like a company with a very dodgy track record and I personally believe that no one should pay more than the asking price for a gig ticket.

     

    My recommendation is to check MuseBay in Gigs & Tours regularly. :)

  5. It depends how many people are in the queue at that time. It shouldn't be packed but I'd expect there'd be a fair few.

    All you need to do to get near the front is walk down the sides

     

    Seriously, I don't get why more people don't use the sides. We essentially got as near to the front as it was possible (so close we spoke to Tom Kirk, yeeeeeeeah :cool:) at the O2 and we got there just before 8pm. :LOL: A similar thing happened at Placebo in the same arena a month later.

  6. Excuse me? I am trying to be polite about this situation as I see both sides. But there is no 'end of' here. Your word goes, does it? I completely respect the first come first served, as I stated in all my posts, but I do NOT appreciate being told to shut up.

     

    :facepalm: But we're not explicitly telling you to 'shut up'. Don't you dare try and twist this.

  7. Cheers guys. Yeah, I have often told secturity, but they don't really give a shit, do they? I usually receive a blank stare or a shrug cause everyone 'is in the same boat'. If I see a tall person in front I will try and ask them if they mind moving, see where that gets me. Usually I will try and shuffle in at the side of them, without pissing anyone else off in the process lol

     

    Security are helpful. I saw Placebo at the O2 in December and when things got unneccasrily stupid, a bunch of security came in. The system does work. However, if security are arses, just move to somewhere else where you can see things clearly, because the front row isn't the be all and end all of live gigs!

     

    As for those comments back there, they were not very nice, far beyond a healthy debate, which is completely cool. So you get tired of people moaning about something, no need to be that way. Just ignore them or be diplomatic in your response, surely? They were rather mocking in the way they were written, especially the one about the the church and being commited to the ground. There is just no need.

     

    But there are a few of you who are being ultra ultra defensive, and if that's going to be the attitude, then this is the reaction you'll expect, sadly.

  8. I appreciate the fact that it's first come first served, but we shorter people do queue very early too. I have been at the front of the queue since 8am in the bloody morning and still had someone much stronger and bigger than me push in front, so please do not make it sound that simple. If we all got there early, we'd ALL be at the front. Impossible, of course.

     

    As for the comments on the past two pages, they are very much uncalled for. Telling someone to stfu IS extremely rude, especially when the majority of this board complains about something or other all the time. It's like you can't have a voice.

     

    We get it. We deal. Stop ganging up and bullying with your snide remarks. It's pretty disgusting and shocking.

     

    You're not helping the 'ultra-defensive' Main Muse stereotype, but surely if you being unnessccarily pushed you could ask security to step in surely? And being at the front is not the only best position to see a band.
