pedrocoelho-t Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The Sao Paolo gig will be in the exact same date of ENEM (24th October), a national exam made by millions of students of age around 15 and 20 mostly. This will lower the sales by 20% at least, I would say. Only in the first day (25th May), half a million brazillians have already subscribed for the exam. This weekend, 24th October, is absolutely focused on ENEM. The whole country goes on and on talking about it. Again, it would be wise to change the date. Contact anyone and everyone you can about this. Maybe we can reach the responsibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HagBR Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Not only the date is shit (it will be the same day as this exam, and also the same day a very popular Brazilian band will play a reunion tour concert in São Paulo), the prices are exorbitant! Time4Fun (the concert promoter) decided it was a good idea to make tickets cost 222 dollars, plus 95 bucks if you want to get in an hour before the gates open. Let's remembr the minimum wage here is 250 dollars per month. These guys are crazy, and the concert is going to flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Quintanilha Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 This Tuesday, Muse fans in Brazil were surprised by the exorbitant prices announced by T4F for the upcoming gigs in October, only a day before the pre-sale date. They want to make money out of our love for a band that denounces the evils of capitalism… Our monthly minimum wage in Brazil is exactly R$ 788,00. A premium ticket at the floor level in Rio de Janeiro is priced at R$ 700,00. Plus what the most loyal fans might pay for the absurd invention called “early entry”, a meager R$ 300,00 extra to get to the barrier first. Are there cheaper seats? Yes. Far away from the stage. In short, if you want to get near the band, you’ll have to spend an amount of money which is not in keeping with the country’s average income, not by a long shot, coming close to the monthly income of many Brazilians. Thus, premium tickets will not be for the biggest fans, but for the richest. Are we buying tickets to see the same band that wrote “ANIMALS”, exposing capitalism’s limitless greed, which will trample on anyone and anything for more profit? It’s become hard to accept the contradiction. MUSE must have their eyes opened for the abusive prices being imposed on their Brazilian fans. In face of all this, our team at the MUSEBR fan club informs that we will put off our decision to go to the gigs in Brazil, to show our indignation at these prices, which are far removed from our reality. Not even tickets to bands like U2, Arctic Monkeys, Pearl Jam or Queen have cost as much. We want more than anyone else for our favorite band to come to Brazil and enjoy mainstream fame here. We work towards that goal for free, and we were prepared to be partners in the promotion of the events, helping attract the largest public possible to the gigs in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Unfortunately, what T4F accomplished with their “business strategy” was to disencourage even the most faithful fans. We make a point of being respected as customers, and not being ripped off and made fools of because we follow our favorite band. Let everyone who hears the reason in our arguments hold out and wait for a statement from T4F regarding their prohibitive prices before you buy your tickets. http://www.musebr.com/05/2015/nota-da-equipe-sobre-os-valores-dos-ingressos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrocoelho-t Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Nothing about changing prices or dates so far. Does anyone has info about how many tickets were sold already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deborafraga Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 @jnflesch said on his twitter that the sale isn't going very well mostly because of the prices..I just hope they don't cancel the gigs, maybe change it to a smaller place?..I bought tickets to Sao Paulo and Rio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
