I have a feeling we'll get another new song tonight. Based on gut feeling alone I think it will either be Defector or Revolt

 

Do these songs say alot about Newport?

 

Well I suppose based on words alone Revolt could refer to the Chartist Movement.

what time is the gig?

 

Doors 7pm, Muse 9pm

[2015.03.19 - Newport Centre, Newport, UK]

I hope someone will be recording videos? I'm afraid to in case my phone doesn't have enough memory although I'm going to buy a new mini SD card so I can get at least one and some pictures. My husband is going to bring his camera but he hasn't used it for ages and he's not sure if it works.

 

I'll give it a go if I can. The Ticketmaster page for the venue does say "no cameras" though. That leaves the option of being upfront and asking if I can bring it in playing dumb because I don't have a paper ticket, or being sneaky under the shoulder under the coat and hope they don't come kick me out Will come back here if I have anything worth sharing.

Given that I'm not going to arrive until 19:30ish, how close am I going to be able to get to the front without annoying anyone?

 

I find this is usually dependent on the function of my bladder myself

 

Anyone know if there's a cloak room? Would they take a bag?

 

I can't say for certain but there is a leisure centre in the same building. According to this the leisure centre is open until 10pm and has lockers operated by 20p pieces http://www.newport.gov.uk/stellent/groups/public/documents/leaflets_and_brochures/CONT470707.pdf I have never been in the building to know if the two facilities share the same entrance.

As to cameras, no one's mentioned any particular banning from previous gigs, just usually no SLR or flash on.

 

I'd hope to use a mirrorless so would be a small camera with big lens. As close to an SLR you can get without being one. Suppose I can take my chance and if I'm parked in Kingsway it' isn't a long walk to dump it back in the car.

 

Edit: ah Ticketmaster lists the following venue details...

 

General Rules

No Cameras.

No Video or Audio recording devices.

I don't know but the camera on my mobile is better than my actual camera so I've asked my husband to use that. My daughter saw Morrissey last year at the O2 and people were told that cameras and video cameras were not allowed. She stuck her camcorder under her armpit and wore a coat until she got inside and got some great videos!

 

Nice. The biggest problem I have is I'll likely need my biggish zoom lens to get half decent pics.

 

For anyone needing parking it's already been mentioned there's Kingsway, but here's a link http://kingswaycentre.com/parking-at-kingsway £1 after 6pm and closes at midnight until 7am. I imagine the gig will be finished by midnight.

Just got a ticket about 10 mins ago. Really chuffed after thinking I missed out

 

Anyone know if there's any rules against cameras? I didn't read much of the bumf in the rush to buy a ticket and make sure it was mine.
