MARLAY PARK & V FESTIVAL: BE A VIP
Muse play Marlay Park and the V Festival next week and as these will be their last shows in the UK and Ireland for a little while, we thought we'd run an extra special competition for those of you that are coming along. For each show there will be one winner who gets to bring along a friend. We will meet you at the show, give you some Muse goodies, take you for a tour backstage, let you go somewhere pretty special to watch the band for part of their set and, best of all, you'll get to meet the band after the show.
The winners of this awesome prize will be the first people to email us with the following:
Your name.
Your age.
Your phone number (preferably mobile).
Which gig you are coming to (this bit is important as the three winners will be the first people to email us for each gig, if you get your email in first, but don't tell us which gig you're coming to, then you won't win)!
Simple? Not quite... You see, we're not going to tell you which email address you need to send your entry to. You're going to need to work it out by solving the equation below. Good Luck!
(2/1 + 8/4 + . + @) - 8/1 = email address
Hint: think alternative medicines...
TSP: Please note, you need to have your own ticket for entry to the show and the prize doesn't include transport or accommodation. We will contact the winners by email and/or mobile and announce them on muse.mu on Monday 11th August.

Right heres the answer for you all:
So we're told in hint 2 to not forget hullaballoo which means it revolves around albums so then:
2/1 = Muscle Museum (2nd Track, First Album)
8/4 = Hysteria (8th Track, 4th Album)
8/1 = Uno (8th Track, 1st Album)
We are also told that the domain is @muse.mu so that removes '@' and the '.' from the equation.
Muscle Museum + Hysteria - Uno
And because we know muse.mu is in it, then we can see that they are contained within muscle museum so we remove those from the equation too.
Schleum + Hysteria - Uno
Uno = 1
If you remove one letter from either of schleum of hysteria you get 13 letters, 13 is the number of the x's.
If you remove 'U' you get schlemhysteria, which is an anagram of mystichealers(@muse.mu) which is an alternative medicine
