kindakooky Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Yes, it gets bad in terms of crowd pushing and crushing at the front. You have to quite literally elbow everyone aside because no one cares about your welfare in the first 10-15 rows . Circle pits etc aren't a problem, but if you want to actually hear the songs and enjoy yourself I suggest you keep away from the barrier. Hugely overrated and painful... but that's just my take. I like to enjoy it from a further (safer!) distance, but it depends on your tolerance for being shoved around like a pinball . I learnt this the hard way when i went to see them at Wembley stadium during The Resistance tour. I was about 8-10 rows from the front which i was really happy with, and getting to see White Lies and Biffy Clyro that close up was great. But then as soon as Muse came on it just went fucking MENTAL. Managed to survive the first two songs by clinging onto the jacket/top of the person next to/in front of me for dear life before deciding i had to get the hell of out there and push and elbow my way back through about the crowd til i got to a safer distance - and once there i realised i'd lost my mac (jacket) in the moshpit which i'd tied around my waist as i'd been too hot. Apart from that though i had an absolutely amazing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sak8405 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Im planning on flying in from the states and attending both nights. First time seeing Muse outside America and my expectations are very high  If anyone would like to suggest hotels and places near by O2 that'd be great since Im coming over all alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pip Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Anyone know if there's an O2 presale? Considering the venue and such... That will be handy if I don't get a ticket in the lottery. I wonder though, will it be a pre-sale, or will it run alongside the general sale. I know the latter sometimes applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellapod Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Apart from going home afterwards, this will be a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisisamy Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Ok application completed eventually (once Chrome was installed!) Never applied for presale tickets before so hoping this works. Wembley 2010 was amazing and so looking forward to our next Muse fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper_chondriac_muser Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm already getting nervous about finding out whether I got a pre-sale ticket on Weds and the actual sale on Thurs! I've applied for this date, obvs, but I'm going to both London dates regardless. Night two, as a rule, is always better, so I'm praying I get an email on Wednesday!

musefanlondon Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Anyone know if there's an O2 presale? Considering the venue and such... This is what I came here to find out... I've just checked my account and the fuckers have already taken the money, so be warned if you were planning on paying money into your account ready for the 12th! Same here! Hope I've got a ticket, cos as others have said, that fucks me right over for the general sale if not. If that does indeed happen then I will be demanding some sort of compensation, the fuckers.

hipHYPEhourra Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I wasn't aware that it was so difficult to get a ticket... Maybe I will have to changes my plans and that's too bad because I'd love to see Muse in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museisti Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 anyone knows if the tickets are again going to be restricted max 4 tickets per both nights? last time i got 4 tickets to the first one and one to the second and they cancelled that one.

hyper_chondriac_muser Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 If you're talking about the .mu presale, it clearly states you can only apply for ONE show. But for general sale, it's normally 4 tickets only per show, so you could get 4 to night one and 4 to night two and it would be within the 'rules' . That's how I understand it.

That's how I understand it. yeah i meant the general sale. and that's how it should be, 4 per show, that would make sense, last time however they cancelled one of my tickets and sent me an email saying i had exceeded the ticket limit which was 4 over both gigs in london. i think that was ticketmaster, maybe it should be okay if i try the other night on ticketmaster and other on seetickets? and i really do hope there will be an o2-presale.

Hmm, makes no sense that they'd cancel. I've heard that Ticketmaster has been royally shite for the Olympics tickets, though, so it could have been a fault on their part. But yeah, it might be safer to try on both sites rather than sticking to one. I'm not with O2 anymore, so I'd be bummed about a presale, haha. Just hope I get my pre sale ticket to this show I applied for on .mu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platty1907 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 How could there be an O2 presale if the general sale starts on 14th June? It would clash with this ballot presale thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musefanlondon Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Seems O2 are not doing a presale. They've put up links to priority tickets, but they go on sale at the same time as the general sale (so I have no idea what qualifies them for "priority" status): http://www.o2priority.co.uk/Listings/Muse/18491,18492 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattestro Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Applied for this, hoping to get it! This'll be my third time, been waiting too long since Reading! I remember how the crowd fell like dominoes during the New Born riff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
