Speculation on future gigs/tours

[FabriPav]

Depends on how big the venue is, I guess. If it's just uk though, board-only is THE way to go.

[ryanp16]

Oh yeah absolutely.

 

They could also do board-only, then in say the week before each gig make them available for general sale or something if there's anything left over.

[redneonfish]

I think it would be really unfair if the 20th Anniv gis were board-only, though I admit that a board-only gig would basically guarantee that only 'proper' fans would be able to go. I think the best way would be to reserve a certain amount of tickets for boardies, 50-70% maybe (?) and just release the rest for general sale. Name + id would be required for both sets of tickets.

I can imagine the controversy if this happened. As much as I'd like for it to be board only to stop scalpers, there are lots of Muse fans on twitter, for example, that don't like to use the board who would obviously feel cheated. Name and ID is the best way to go, IMO.

There's a ton of people who only has an account just for board-only kind of ticket sales. I think they've used it in the past.

[ryanp16]

Yeah considering there's almost half a million members on here, and I'd say only 100 or so post with any kind of regular frequency.

[sunnydelux]

That's true, those are good points.

 

On another note, would a board-only sale actually happen? Realistically, of course. Have other bands/artists done something similar before?

[leetroot]

Tickets should be one per person and named and cancellable if it turns out you can't go. That is the only way to prevent ticket touts.

 

As soon as you give someone the capacity to buy spare tickets, there is the potential for re-sales.

 

One ticket per person can mean difficulties getting tickets but I'd rather know that I didn't get one because people who genuinely wanted to go had got one.

 

As for selection - obviously only board members who joined pre 2004 should be selected

[kueller]

If you joined pre-2004 you've had your chance to see special songs. It should be everyone who joined between 2008 and 17th October, 2010

And with a minimum of lets say 50 posts

[ryanp16]

I still think obstacle course, pop quiz and unknown challenge #17 is the way to go.

Fine, between 2008 and 2013 excluding the 18th of October 2010.

If you're a hardcore Muse fan, you'll have an account on the message board.

I saw the cool rare songs, thing is, I want to see them again.

[kueller]

I want to see them period.

 

But in seriousness there shouldn't be join date restrictions other than the obvious a couple of weeks or more before the announcement date.

This is what will happen. It's always the way.

[serpentsatellite]

I'd be really shocked to ever see one ticket per order.

 

How many people ACTUALLY are willing to go to concerts alone?

Me. Done it loads of times. Make friends in the queue. It's great.

 

Besides if it's board only everyone will know tons of people.. "Oh look, that's Fabri, let's go say hi..."

Done this for all of my gig. Great wat of meeting new people.

I know several people who even prefer to go alone. Both works for me.

If I needed to have someone else to go to a concert with I'd never go to a concert.

My friends listen to country and Tech N9ne, that pretty well limits my options. You can meet people there, and once the concert starts it's not like you're chatting a whole lot.
