forevermusic Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Seeing people calling Muse sell-outs over the "dubstep" thing is a bit sad to be honest. Technically, and as my cousin loves to say, they were sell-outs when they signed to Maverick and released Showbiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxomflirter Queef Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Charging more for tickets so that they can do less gigs? I don't know either I loved the gig in Cardiff last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Is that on your available balance? As if you use a Visa card the bank will secure the funds ( taking the money , decreasing your available balance) but the company requesting the money can then deciede not to. I would only worry if on your statement it says there was a visa transaction from muse.mu Yes, my available balance. Not a problem for me but could be for some if they had DDs going out today or Monday but hadn't yet deposited the ticket money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djaz Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Yes, my available balance. Not a problem for me but could be for some if they had DDs going out today or Monday but hadn't yet deposited the ticket money? Yeah and with the tickets not being cheap it could put some people in the red. Naughty of them to take the money know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Oh yes? They've already taken my money, just checked my account. £65 has gone from my account as well, so am presuming that is muse. Hopefully it means I have a ticket, rather than it being a catastrophic fuck up. That's strange, if they still have to extract winners, why already take your money? Maybe if you don't win they'll give them back to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetoms Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Manchester - London - Manchester - London???? Which one?!!! Oh I can't decide and can't afford to go to both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetoms Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 £65 has gone from my account as well, so am presuming that is muse. Hopefully it means I have a ticket, rather than it being a catastrophic fuck up. The way I read it is the funds are pre authorised (hence the debit) but that doesn't guarantee any tickets.

davetoms Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 All I keep getting is an error message "We were unable to authorize your card using the payment details provided, please try a different card" I know the cards and details entered are fine though. Edit: Used a different browser. Site obviously doesn't like IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn91 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 That's strange, if they still have to extract winners, why already take your money? Maybe if you don't win they'll give them back to you? Yes, that doesn't make sense. Aren't they supposed to chose the winners on 10th of June? Since it's not first come first served and all that.

davetoms Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 They have to make sure the winners can pay so that's why they pre authorise the funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrikeBass Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 So they're just verifying that we can pay? They're not just taking money for the hell of it, are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saski86 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Has everyone had money taken from their account? Only I've checked my account and there is no sign of it. I got the message the payment had been verified, I paid with Visa debit. Worried now it hasn't gone through:unsure: EDIT: Sorry not verified, it says application accepted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygirl Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 That's strange, if they still have to extract winners, why already take your money? Maybe if you don't win they'll give them back to you? WTF. That's weird. Maybe everyone's a winner! Edit: Yeah. Maybe all applicants are automatically awarded their one purchase, and they're just doing it this way to eliminate touts and fans being able to buy up gobs of tickets.

Dockertae Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I'm the same, the money hasn't physically come out the account, but it's been taken off my available balance. I would be excited about this but I assume that it's the same for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 As L. said, they're probably just making sure that all applicants can pay, if they win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxyous Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Usually, with debit cards, the amount is reserved as soon as the order is made. If it doesn't go through, the money will go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furygirl Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I don't use debit cards. How is holding the money and then giving it back different than extracting the money temporarily and giving it back. Seem like either way, they're still taking your money before delivering a product. Not that I care really, I'm just trying to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saski86 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 mine's the same nothing out but they said no money would be taken until 12th Ok thanks:) Must depend on which bank you're with I guess, was getting a tad paranoid even though I probably won't get them anyway.

sunbeamgal Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Hi, it's my husband's 40th Birthday on 2nd November and I would desperately love to surprise him with his favourite band's tickets; however we cannot make the current UK dates as we are in Florida . Do you think there will be extra UK dates announced? I'm seriously considering flying back from America just for the Manchester concert!! Thanks xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're only allowed to apply for tickets for 1 shows so 3 of the applications you've made will be deleted and won't go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
