    Speculation on future gigs/tours

    in Tours

    Posted

    Yea what's the likelihood of them doing some sideshows in the summer (US that is)? more importantly, where/what types of venues are we looking at? Still 20,000 capacity arenas? Some amphitheaters that aren't usually open when the band normally tours? tbh i can see them in 5-8K capacity places but not much else right now lol

    2016.01.25 - TD Garden, Boston, MA, USA

    Posted · Edited by mapofmercy

    I'm going, 2nd TD Garden show, first Muse show, but not GA. From what I see about the storm, Boston will barely get anything (1-5 inches from today-tomorrow night max), going from CA to MA shouldn't be awful but the crew won't be able to set up the stage until like 10pm tomorrow night b/c the Garden has an all day event tomorrow lasting from 8:30am-8:30pm, so I'm just hoping that the production will be able to be set up in time and the show will start on time.

     

    EDIT: Assuming they are driving the 6 and a half hour drive from CA to MA it should be good, flights may be hard but I'd like tot think they are driving...?

    This has been the concern since the beginning of all this.

     

    There's zero promotion of this album in the US anymore, and the 360 only demands MORE tickets to be sold. Other than LA and NY, the sales from last tour didn't bode well for that.

    I have no faith that they're going to come back in the fall, as people are speculating. Why drag all that expensive shit back to the country with low sales?

     

    And seeing that the seats in the 1st tier that aren't selling are pretty universally the ones on the "points" (discounting, like, Detroit, where GA is still available) gives me the impression people are intentionally avoiding what they see as bad seats, and those could have been sold through with an end stage set up.

     

    But, like I said before, I've seen bands selling equal to much more albums than Muse is, in the US, play clubs not arenas.

    Muse pulls in the extra "I heard this was a great live spectacle" crowd, but it's not enough.

     

    They had a shot right when the album released here, but they weren't ready with the gig dates, then the wait was pretty damn long, and there's extremely short notice, which will hurt their sales in a lot of venues.

     

    And where's the promotion?? They couldn't get this band on a TV show, or something? I'd be looking for new management.

     

     

    Yea I was worried when I couldn't get tickets for the Boston show RIGHT WHEN they went on sale, b/c they do typically sell out in MA in a short time, but I didn't need to- still GA available for that show, too. So I'm thinking of getting GA, rather then seats b/c I don't want to be in the upper balcony but don't want to spend $219 on the best seats or get the 'point' seats so GA is the way to go, right?

    So I want tickets to the MA show but not sure about what kind. Would the seats at the end of the arrows be the best then or is upper balcony, but in the middle of the stage better (like the VIP seated seats but further up). Would I get more of the 'experience' sitting in middle section of the balcony or at the end of an arrow closer to the stage?

     

    EDIT- Or would getting seats at, like the corner of the arena- not at the end of the arrows, not at the center, but in between them. what option would be best?

     

    EDIT II- Okay but it turns out there is GA available too so and so GA is the place to be, right?

    Yea neither can I unless they are only announcing NYC. I am willing to bet it MUST be Dec/Jan/early feb if that's possible. And yea, I think the other dates have been selling well enough for them to go ahead w/ the full 360, but if the Drones World Tour is as extensive as T2L tour, then they are screwed in some of the markets to make money.

    Once they told me a Muse song was played, I got a little skeptical. Not sure they'd recognize a Muse song... :chuckle:

     

    Nothing announced, seemingly. :erm: Getting a bit frustrating.

     

    Yea me too. Artists are announcing arena tours for next MAY right now, so Muse is really taking a rick by NOT ANNOUNCING ANYTHING and keeping quiet, b/c they will see that the tickets sales will be lower then last time- why do they have their hearts set on this 360 shit who knows.

    Friend of mine on the east coast heard something on the radio. Initially told me it was Muse news, but then told me they said "big concert announcement" and played Muse afterwards. Fair guess, I suppose.

     

    Yea that sounds legit. I hope your friend is right they really have been making their sweet time with this next leg...

    From what I can make out, the 1st gig of the Drones 360 tour starts on the 13/12/15 in Oregon? Will this be the first time we see this stage production?

     

    Nope, 1st 360 gigs are in Mexico City on 17-18 and 20th of Nov.

    To be fair, this used to be the normal time to announce. The US shows are 3 months away. It's only in the past few years that bands are announcing shows 6 months plus in the future.

     

    True, I think the furthest I got tickets to a gig would be when I saw Death Cab for Cutie a little more then a week ago when tickets went on sale Feb 6 for a Sept 11 gig.

     

    That being said, Death Cab sold out INSTANTLY. Muse, on the other hand, for most of the US, doesn't. They would NEED the 6 months ahead of time to push sales besides the shows in like LA, NYC, Boston, and a few others that do sell out instantly.

     

    I'm just afraid they'll only add like 5 more cities and call it a day.

    I don't know where people get their money... :chuckle:

     

    I just looked up flights to San Diego and Portland and realized I couldn't possibly make that work during the holidays. From inside the US. :noey:

     

    The only thing stopping me from believing that's all the dates is the lack of NY.

    And what's with the Portland date? Do they sell well there?

    Would have expected to see Seattle, or something.

     

    Apparently been confirmed by a radio station, though.

     

    What radio station?

     

    Also I swear they sell well in Boston, too. I think TR and T2L tours both sold out in Boston when they came around.

    Boston's TD Garden, assuming that Muse will play the east coast at all and assuming it would be in the 2nd month of touring, has Dec 1-6th free, as well as the 8th, 10th, 13th, 17th, and 19th. So it wont be IMPOSSIBLE for them to play Boston- it would just be really annoying to get to the venue and such because of winter weather.

    For me personally, I can't get off work at any point during those months, let alone travel. can be a big problem with certain jobs. Also, it's just a bitch to go anywhere post-Thanksgiving; huge crowds, super expensive, and loads of people going to see family.

     

    It seems like a generally crap time for US gigs, but maybe it doesn't impact the young crowds as much.

     

    Yea, that's true. I guess it would be odd for a tour around that time since I know of ZERO artists who tour at that time AT ALL EVER.

    Jan would be better than Nov/Dec, but I still have a strong feeling that it's going to be the holidays for us.

     

    I am the only one who doesn't really care about if it is a winter tour? The sooner I can see them the better (even if it's 15 below out)!

    If ticket sales are too shitty, loads of areas won't get shows at all.

    Do areas in the US other than LA have issues getting tickets? Maybe NYC, I guess?

     

    Boston sells out quickly, not as quickly and in demand as LA/NYC but I think it sells out too. (or it did for TR/T2L tour at least- w/ Drones at #1 right now it probably will again)
