Seconded - good luck to you, Jobby. I hope you get a good view. I can understand your dedication as this is potentially a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I'm aiming to get there around 11-12 tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll arrive in enough time to possibly meet the band as they come out and talk to those queuing (I'm considering taking my piano songbook or Resistance Tour photo book to be signed) and it'd be great to meet some of you. I'm the short lady with the red hair, who will probably be playing on my 3DS to pass the time. We'll be in the seating queue, hoping to get a balcony spot. I've never queued for a gig this early before, so hopefully the atmosphere will be good. Really looking forward to it!
Does anyone know if there will be exclusive merch for this gig?
-
I'm guessing that, once the concert starts, people aren't going to stay seated for long (at least, I hope not, as I'd find it impossible to stay still!).
Something I'm interested about is the seating allocation? I know that Level 3 is unreserved, but I'm on Level 2 and I thought my confirmation had seat numbers on, but reviews on Tripadvisor suggest it's all first-come-first-served. I'm mainly concerned about being right at the back, due to my lack of stature, or being separated from my friend.
-
I'm glad that I waited a while to cast my vote (I'm a newer fan than many of you - I really got into them around The Resistance-era and was introduced to their earlier stuff by a friend, and I've been educating myself on the B-sides I missed out on). Space Dementia and City of Delusion are definitely getting my vote, and it's becoming harder to cut my list. I do hope Exogenesis is played in full if it makes the cut, as the second movement is my favourite. I'm also in love with Easily, which was looking promising from the voting before it was changed.
I do hope they start the whole thing from scratch again, as it's the only fair way to do this. As much as it's nice to have a longer list of rarities, it's going to split the vote more.
I'd agree with one of the earlier posters that MK Ultra is one of the most disappointing omissions.
-
I have to admit, I'm tempted by Bliss. I've never seen it live, and the atmosphere at such an intimate gig would be amazing. That Manchester Academy video looks like so much fun.
I don't think I've ever had this much trouble making a decision, and I'm bad with it at the best of times.
-
I'm thinking of being there around midday to wait in line, so I'm crossing my fingers.
I'm not sure on my final list yet (I'd like to throw a B-side or two in there), but City of Delusion, Showbiz and Muscle Museum are definites.
Yeah, I hope they don't do the generic password shit - it would be a shame if it was spread around and we ended up with a setlist entirely of the hits (however great Plug In Baby is, I've heard it 4 times live, plus I have a feeling they will put a few of their own choices in anyway to bulk the setlist out).
-
What are the chances of meeting the band after the gig?
I'd be interested to hear of anyone who has been lucky enough to meet them in the past. I'm guessing this is the best chance, given the size of the venue. I know I'll be nervous and probably completely embarrass myself, but oh well.
-
Yeah, they didn't come out before at Manchester Acad but they did after. Reckon they'll do both at SBE. Probs take my BH&R cover to get signed this time, and ask Matt to close with Bliss if it's on the set.
Here's my list to narrow down atm:
-------
City Of Delusion
Showbiz
Hate This & I'll Love You
Hyper Chondriac Music
Hoodoo
Muscle Museum
-------
Cave
Invincible
Easily
Glorious
Futurism
Fillip
In Your World
Host
Recess
Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Endlessly
Shine (Acoustic)
1-6 are concrete, rest are from most to least likely.
I'm going to bring my OoS cover, though I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, as it's looking like the earliest we're going to get there now is about half 3. If it happens and they come out to greet people in the queue, I'll die happy!
City of Delusion is definitely staying on my list. I never thought of Hoodoo (I love the performance on the HAARP DVD). I hope I'm not going to get 'voting regret' after submitting my list. I think I might wait a little bit when the link goes out.
-
I'll be getting there around 9.30am, since one of my friends is queuing for the standing barrier. I really doubt there will be much of a queue for the seats, but regardless it'll be the usual number system to keep track of where people are in the queue.
Also yes! Last time at SBE Matt and Dom came out to the queue to take pictures with everyone. I was lucky enough to meet Chris before the Belfast Psycho Tour gig and some other people met Matt and Dom, then they came out again after the gig. As far as I know they came out after the other gigs too.
Almost certainly CE too.
I might have to convince my friend to catch an earlier ferry!
Don't worry, BlueEyedFloozy, I think I'll be squealing like a teenage girl, too if the band come out to meet fans! This is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me, as you'd have to be very lucky to catch them at a stadium gig. Fingers crossed.
Also, I'd have no problem if CE was played. I saw it in Berlin and it was honestly the highlight of the evening for me.
-
I've heard of tickets popping up closer to the date as well, reading an old post about the War Child gig.
-
I seriously need to get my act together & listen to the songs that are really rare & that I don't know at all, eg Soaked, Easily, Eternally Missed, Execution Commentary, & Nature_1. I realise that there might not be a high probability of these even getting onto the collated list, but I want to just in case.
Can't believe I've been a Muser for four years already & I still haven't done it
You're not alone - I've been considering doing the same. I've seen Easily pop up on a few lists.
I've now also realised I didn't put Assassin on my list - that would make it about 15/16 songs to narrow down now. There's some songs I've never heard live (this will be my 5th gig) like Bliss and Stockholm Syndrome, but I could well be 'wasting' my vote on these if they play a few extra, anyway. I might also get the chance to hear them in the future.
Also, I'm getting there about 2pm (my friend is travelling from abroad) - will this be enough time to get a decent Level 2 position? I know it's probably like asking 'How long is a piece of string?', but as far as I gather, there's only a few rows (I am 5'3, though). Also, at more intimate shows, do people ever catch a glimpse of the band walking past the queue?
It's going to be a long month!
-
Yes its unreserved, so first come first served.
Thanks - I'll make sure I get my butt over there early to queue.
-
My friend is threatening to vote for Madness, just to wind me up.
For those of you with Level 2 seating, is it unallocated? I didn't receive seat numbers in my confirmation email. I also tried going to the Ticketmaster web site and printing out my receipt on there - it told me it was unavailable and to try again later (this was last night, as I knew things would be busy this morning).
-
If the debit card has your name on it and it matches your passport/driving license then you're fine. You could check with the venue next week when they'll be less inundated with calls.
Thank you for the reassurance. Yes, I think I'll give them a ring in a few days' time, just to be on the safe side.
Unless I'm having a really dense moment, I'd never leave the house without my debit card, so it shouldn't be a problem.
-
Just a quick question: My debit card has my parents' address on it, but I have moved out and my driving licence will have my current address on it. Since our photo ID and card are our entry into the event, I'm not sure what to do about this and whether it will be a problem on the door?
I'm really looking forward to this gig - I'm struggling to narrow my list down to 10. I'm yet to hear all the songs below live (though, I'm sure plenty of other fans have):
New Born
Space Dementia
Stockholm Syndrome
Butterflies and Hurricanes
Sunburn
Apocalypse Please
Muscle Museum
MK Ultra
City of Delusion
Bliss (we got 'Plug In Baby' 4 times in a row at the gigs I attended, so I'd love to hear this)
Sing For Absolution
The Small Print
Showbiz
Also, good luck, Jobby. I'll be rooting for you tomorrow.
-
I'm going to this gig with my friend from Belgium (and getting a bit of a holiday in as well!).
This will be my 4th time seeing them and I really would love a physical setlist, but the dilemma is that I'm in the seats. Is it worth hanging around when the stage is being dismantled, or have I got no chance?
Would be interested to hear of any success stories/experiences!
Edit: Will a large(ish) handbag be ok?
-
I'll admit that it took me a while to warm up to Hoodoo, but after hearing it on the HAARP DVD, the performance brings a whole new dimension to the song and it has grown on me. Just seems to have more emotion to it somehow, in my opinion. I think the piano throughout works very well.
It also makes a great lead-up to Knights.
-
Only three gigs for me so far:
3. Brussels (Palais 12, night 1) 2016:
High points: A nice introduction to some of my favourite Muse songs - TIRO, PiB and Knights were great fun and we got standing, though I wasn't able to get in until doors opened so was right at the back, but this suited me for a first-timer and my friend and I had a little party! The visuals impressed me and we caught the Dildrone flying directly overhead.
Low points: The crowd were practically dead and the setlist left me feeling a bit disappointed - I think the lack of energetic songs was a bit of a buzzkill - Eurasia, Starlight, Madness and the dreaded Undisclosed Desires rotation. The band seemed to lack energy as well - they seemed to be having an 'off' night and it left me wanting something better.
2. London (O2 Arena, night 5) 2016:
High points: Much better setlist. I was excited to hear Reapers and Map for the first time. We were seated this time and I was able to take in the visuals much better. The crowd in my part of the seats were very lively, which added to the atmosphere of the gig.
Low points: The twats behind me who argued so much with some others about their right to stand (always a sensitive topic, I know) that I could hear them over the music and a fight was ready to break out. This, coupled with the very excessively loud music (the sound seemed much better at the other venues I attended), flashing lights and everything else going on around me disoriented me, I had a bad panic attack and had to leave two thirds of the way through the concert. None of this Muse's fault, I know, but I have tainted memories of this gig. I would have put it bottom, but I appreciate the effort Muse have put into their sets these past few nights.
1. Glasgow (SSE Hydro, night 2) 2016:
High points: Solid setlist (as I agree from an earlier poster, even FG didn't ruin it, though I really hoped for Sunburn) and lots of energy and enthusiasm from the band. Lovely crowd, who were really up for it. The guys at the front of our stand were trying to get everyone up and dancing for Uprising. My friend started chatting to the people next to us and everyone seemed very pleasant and there for the music, which was great to see. The Glasgow Jam was a nice touch - if only they could add things like this based around tradition to more countries they play in. I was thrilled at the inclusion of Map again, having convinced myself it wouldn't be played three gigs in a row. I was also thrilled that Madness had been omitted (apologies to anyone here
who likes it) and, as a result, the second half of the set went from strength to strength. Take A Bow was everything I had hoped for, having missed it on Friday. I'm still on a high from this gig today, and my friend has mentioned a 'short break' abroad just so we can see them again. Knights is his favourite song and he found his normally reserved self really letting go and losing himself in the music. Lots of wonderful memories of the night.
Low points: A (in my opinion) stronger piano song would have made this set perfect. My only regret is missing night one, as I have read very little negativity regarding it.
-
I had a good gig in Manchester despite Feeling Good being played (honestly what else fits between Starlight and Madness???). It is just that every other piano song they were realistically going to play is better.
I was so hopeful of Sunburn last night in Glasgow (knew AP was most likely out, as it was played the night before). Though, I agree with an earlier poster that it was still a brilliant set, despite this. The enthusiasm of the band really helped. Of course, everyone has off days, but it was the best gig of the three I attended by far.
Maybe I should add catching a plectrum or a fistbump from the band to my bucket list, once I pluck up the courage to do standing and also the dedication to try for barrier (the floor didn't seem to fill up too quickly last night, though, so maybe there's hope, one day!).
-
I enjoyed tonight immensely - I was a bit disappointed to get Feeling Good again and still haven't seen Bliss, but the absence of Madness (Map about halfway through was a pleasant surprise!) and inclusion of Take A Bow made up for it. I did like how Matt catered for the Scottish crowds with the bagpipe jam and waving the flag around - thought that was a nice touch.
I feel too old to be crushed in a crowd (the only time I did standing I was right at the back), but I did feel a hint of envy when they released the streamers and confetti during Mercy and it looked like a huge party was going on! I was tempted to grab some when I left - I'm such a big kid. Someone was making a pompom from it! I was hoping people would stand for Knights, but there was a bit of a party going on in our stand during Uprising.
So sad it's all over - want to do it all again and I'm on such a high, but I have to be up at 5:30 for a flight.
-
There's no way to predict it - I've had it three gigs in a row now myself which I certainly didn't expect to say last year when I booked the tickets!
Fingers crossed, then!
I've accepted I'm never going to hear Bliss this tour, but what an introduction to Muse live! It's always been a 'bucket list' addition to see them, and the Muse addiction has certainly been solidified after attending these gigs.
I appreciate that all fans have different tastes, but I do agree with other posters that Madness is definitely a 'pee break' song.
Can't wait for tomorrow. Hopefully they'll finish the UK leg in style.
-
I've decided to go tomorrow - looks like an amazing setlist tonight, so I'm worried I made the wrong choice of date.
Really want to hear TAB - as it got played tonight, does that mean it won't likely be tomorrow?
-
Cheers I decided it'd be a bad idea after all. Thinking of maybe trying to get to Glasgow on Sunday or Monday if I can get a seated ticket, just trying to talk myself into the ridiculous expense!
I'm now going to Glasgow on Monday. I really shouldn't have decided to go a third time, but we had to leave quite a bit before the end on Friday, so I missed TAB (never seen it before) and Knights, etc. Also didn't see the Globalist, but, as far as I'm aware, that's a staple. Getting a hotel room this time, so we don't have to worry about getting home the same night! Plus, we're flying, which is surprisingly cheaper than train if you go for a budget airline.
They still had seated tickets yesterday for the Monday. It's saying tonight is sold out, but apparently you have to contact the venue for tickets.
-
I've got this horrible feeling tomorrow is going to be shit now. Must stay positive!
Let's hope tonight is the start of a turn around for the better!
-
This is the night I'm not going to. Seriously hope I picked the right night to go to (I could only do one of the 4th or 5th London show) so no AP and no Assassin would actually be a good result for me lol.
Same here - watching this thread with interest tonight. I've not seen Bliss yet, either. I wonder if that means Plug In Baby tomorrow? Crossing my fingers for TaB tomorrow now.
I'm really regretting not going to more than one of the London dates. It's a shame Glasgow is sold out, as I'd be trying to encourage my partner to come with me and make a visit to his parents on the way.
Presale/Early Access ticket questions
in Tours
Posted · Edited by loveisour_resistance
I was wondering if anyone attending the London Stadium gig on 1st June would be able to help?
I've decided to fork out the extra for the early access tickets. It will be my first (and most likely only!) time doing so - I was wondering:
Thank you in advance!
