2018.12.03 Royal Albert Hall The Prince’s Trust charity Gig London, UK
Malton Seadog replied to MVP1994's topic in Gigs
Anyone else here doing Gallery Standing? I’m hoping they haven’t gone mad with selling tickets up there, and hoping that everyone gets a place leaning on the railing. Unsure how early to get there for Gallery, and I’m also unsure where the best view will be, given it goes pretty much the full perimeter. I’m thinking at roughly 8 or 9 o clock if the stage is at 12, so I’m towards Matt’s side. -
What are people's thoughts on post-14th June dates? Do you think Finland will end the tour, or will more dates be added?
-
Starting to fill up nicely now in February to June 2016. Still some intriguing gaps though. 15th-31st March. 18th April - 2nd May. Do you think they'll fill these in with more dates, or use them as two respite periods?
-
My list or the Wiki one is incomplete? I just picked the worst five. Many were at 95-100%.

Apologies if this has been done before, but with all the furore over tickets being snapped up, and the inevitability of most of the shows selling out, I thought I'd bring this up. Has anyone been to, or seen, any Muse gigs where ticket sales have been poor? Wikipedia has interesting data for the Resistance and 2nd Law tour. The worst gigs for ticket sales on both tours combined: 1 Rio Rancho, USA: 65% (4,915/7,500) TR 2= Calgary, Canada: 69% (7,648/11,256) TR 2= Brisbane, Australia: 69% (18,810/27,370) TR 3= Duluth, USA: 71% (6,749/9,500) T2L 3= Cincinnati, USA: 71% (4,983/7,050) T2L Are these accurate? Were the arenas on reduced capacity? Seems unbelievable to me that they wouldn't sell 35% of their tickets in Rio Rancho, or for there to be 3,500 empty spaces in Calgary... Thoughts?

Banned in China, I imagine.

Re: UK arenas that could handle 360 stage (minimum three sides seating and removable floor seating), and have over 10,000 capacity: Birmingham: 16,000 Liverpool: 11,000 Nottingham: 10,800 Newcastle: 11,000 Sheffield: 13,500 But then Germany probably has a whole host of cities that can boast that too, I guess, aside from Berlin, Munich, Cologne and Hamburg. Guess it's down to preference.

Matt's voice will take a beating though. Also, travelling really has an impact on physical and mental wellbeing, especially if doing it frequently. I think they do need time off between long runs of gigs. It's not just the 100 minutes a day, it's all the logistics surrounding it. Not seeing loved ones etc.
-
Oh, we're letting them REST now are we? Maybe in that time off, they can roll around in £20/€20 notes, laughing hysterically to themselves.
-
Yep but massive gaps 12th-31st March and 18th April-2nd May. Also 18th May-3rd June. Probably fill those up with Europe.
-
What are people's thoughts on them going beyond 6th June? Personal circumstances dictate that I can't make any of the dates so far (long story), but anything after 6th June would be fine. July/August would be particularly nice, but I have a sneaky feeling that August/September/October will be USA/Canada time...

Not done one of these before, so I'm going to be brave and list a few: 1. Time is Running Out bores the backside off me. If I really needed a pee at a concert, I would be more likely to go for one during this than Madness. 2. I don't like their song reveals. When they do the pre-CE or Apocalypse Please drum thing, it spoils all the build up of the opening notes of the songs. Likewise with Matt messing about before Plug In Baby. You kinda know what's coming, and that spoils it for me. 3. I think Matt is losing his voice slowly, and in 5-6 years won't be able to get many of his falsetto notes. 4. I think Morgan should be allowed to 'take a bow' (pun intended) at the end of gigs. He's an integral part of the setup now. Not saying he should become a 4th member, but I feel sorry for the guy sometimes. Gets no praise or credit. 5. The last four tracks of OoS are average at best. 6. Hoodoo might be my favourite track on BH+R. 7. I'm bored of the Man With Harmonica + Knights ending to gigs. Keep it, by all means, but like point 2 above, we know what's coming, and it gets old. 8. I don't like Uprising. 9. Panic Station is my favourite T2L song. 10. Mercy might be my favourite Drones song. Just. I think it looks incredible live.

Glasgow too. See below. Seems odd that for an 'In the round' tour, several venues are only three sides. I guess standing folk will still surround them though.
-
Looks like it. No seating behind the stage.
-
Seated tickets also available today for Glasgow! I got straight through! Might be worth checking other venues for those who missed out yesterday!!
-
Amsterdam announced. 9th March.

Absolutely. As someone else has said, and I completely agree with this, I would rather pay a flat £50 to see them stood on a stage, with a static video in the background. Song,song,song (x20-22), leave stage, good night all. The drones will look sooooo cool, and the stage setup will be AWESOME, but like I said in another post, leave the megasuperduperamazeballs stage production to stadiums. Give the fans an arena tour first, at a decent cost, and then if we like what we see/hear, we'll probably pay again to go to the stadiums. As it stands, they'll still sell out (no double meaning, honest) the arenas, but I feel they've alienated a few long-term fans. Do they care? Probably not.

Matt said that their two Wembley gigs back in the day made a small loss. Let's do some fairly basic maths: o2 Capacity: 15,000 (I know it's 20,000, but with the centre stage, let's be conservative) 15,000 tickets x average ticket price of £55 (again conservative) = £825,000 Let's say the each arena has an average 15,000 capacity on the tour. 15,000 x 20 dates so far = 300,000 tickets x £55 = £16.5m. Lots and lots of overheads, logistic costs of course, but are you telling me that it will cost them £16.5m to put on 20 gigs? I've horrendously oversimplified the maths, I know, but it's food for thought. From tickets ALONE, before merchandise, there is £800,000+ going into the kitty every gig next year.

The 02 presale started at 9am like all the others. They've already sold out.
-
Yes, and maybe. You MUST go through the Muse ticketmaster link, not simply go to ticketmaster.co.uk.
-
12th March. Palais 12. Tickets on sale 23rd Sept.
-
Yes they are. Manchester had loads on offer. Upper tier, in the corner, for £49.50 (+ fees).
-
Sure? I've just logged in now, and all three price brackets are available at 3rd time of asking. Keep trying!
-
You were registered on Muse.mu before 9th September right? Anything after that date and your code won't work.
-
Bear in mind that it is 10am CET. If you are in Britain or Ireland, it's 9am.
