Alet_ssl1900 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 That was a mistake probably. "Travelling to 11 countries between May 22 - July 27" http://us5.campaign-archive1.com/?u=c1eb71773f6798ee77439ec54&id=09817dfaa2 Maybe problem solved!

apoco123 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Out of the three locations, this is the hardest venue to get to and as I've pointed out in previous posts, they actually put a bus service on from the train station for Coldplay, which helped me a lot as I've never been and was staying in Birmingham. The situation is the same for Muse, I'm staying in Birmingham as its cheaper and was hoping they would put a bus service on again...but I got a feeling they not going to for this concert... they havnt even replied to my messages via e-mail or Facebook.... so I'm a tad worried how I'm going to get to the stadium and back, especially in the night. The last train is something like 1.00 in the morning, its just the issue of getting there after the show... it is like in the middle, its more on the outskirts of Coventry.

LeicesterBLISS Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 It's a stadium in the middle of nowhere that is part of the biggest stadium tour the band has ever done so that statement is ridiculous. I was extremely surprised they chose the Ricoh as a venue. I expected villa park to be the midlands stadium of choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fall Out Boy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I was extremely surprised they chose the Ricoh as a venue. I expected villa park to be the midlands stadium of choice I think they chose the Ricoh as it's one of the biggest stadiums in League One, which finishes a lot earlier than the Championship/Premier League, so the stadium was available much earlier than say, Villa Park would have been.

Good point. But I'm sure in hindsight they wish they hadn't. Location and midweek in the middle of nowhere has resulted in poor ticket sales. As I've said previous though it doesn't bother me how many people turn up I know I am getting to see them again and I can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frakkles Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 They chose the Ricoh because it's set up for concerts. Multiple acts have used it because it was built to host concerts as well as football matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it should be a decent venue, they had coldplay there the other year and Bruce Springsteen later this year as well. Think maybe they just over estimated demand for tickets this year more than anything with london/manchester not completely selling out either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese on toast Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Thanks to a monumental fuck up with time booked off work AND my hotel, it's now looking almost certain that I won't be going to this anymore.

Green Mamba Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Fortunately, one of our group knows someone who can let us park at his home, so that works out for us with 10-15min walk. I'm sure Ricoh will be a nice venue, it's the location sucks. Every time an event is on here, the traffic just kills Coventry. On another note, it's still not too late to order additional tickets, I just did for someone who decided to come last minute, just arrive signed 5 minutes ago, I ordered it on Sat.

Matty987 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I haven't trawled through this thread for a while so if it's already been posted just tell me. What's the parking going to be like around the Ricoh? I've seen the car park A/C advertised but at £20 hopefully theres some alternative even if it means a good walk?
