Sorry, such a stupid question. I still get that that confused since we put the month always first in America and then the day... dammit... do we think they will announce any more european shows from Feb- April?

jack259 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 What is a ticket for the NIA supposed to look like? It's a ticket factory one. Should it have a hologram on it? Anyway of telling if it's a fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
005 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 If you've been to the NIA before in the last 1/2 yrs see if there is anything remotely significant about the ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chef Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I had to pay £119.00 for a standing ticket at 02 London on Ebay. What can you do if you want to see the gig and your in the fortunate postion to pay out the money. I sent the seller a couple of questions and it turned out he was selling tickets for every venue in the UK. Can someone please tell me how that a seller on Ebay has tickets for every venue in the UK tour ? Thankfully I found a hotel near the 02 for £50.00 4 times I have seen Muse 3 of which have been in London because I can't make my home town gig Glasgow. Still at a £119.00 it's a hell of a drug trip in which you get a natural high from the moment you know your going to the moment you walk out the show high for days after the gig. When Muse played Wembley stadium I had a priority number that I paid extra for at ticketmaster. I got through just a few minutes after 9am when the lines opened for the first day of sale. I was told the tickets were sold out. I made a song and dance about it. Tell me how it is possible for a stadium to sell out in less than three minutes ? I asked to speak to a supervisor. Oh hold on sir how many tickets were you after. Three. Ok that wont be a problem I was told. Make of that what you will. Q magazine had a article over a year ago where it explained big acts In America were selling there own tickets by bids because they were so fed up with touts making big money from them. Madona and the Stones are two acts I know of that did it. Maybe Muse should go down the same road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syltetøy Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I hate touts ! I wanted to set up a war against them on e-bay. I can't believe any fansite would associate with a touting site ! I'm sticking to this board here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I can sympathise with people who get totally pissed off at touts, and of course I believe that they are complete wankers. But when people take the moral high ground and would rather miss a gig altogether rather than pay over the odds, I dont get it. I am like The Chef above, in that I am in the very fortunate position where I wasn't able to get tickets in the general sale, but I have more than enough to afford to pay a little more. As a consequence I spent £102.70 on one standing ticket, and £98.97 for another, both for Glasgow. Whilst I very much begrudge paying anyone that much above the face value, I feel that it is worth it because I will get to see Muse for the second time, and I'd far rather pay that than miss the gig, and subsequently probably have to wait another three years to see Muse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's not to get? What I dont get is why people would almost punish themselves in a way, by not getting to see their favourite band, in a feeble attempt to stop something that will never go away.

steph0119 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hi all, I ended up buying tickets off ebay as i could not miss this gig, i've never seen muse before and after missing out on tickets at all of the sales i gave up. I have now received my tickets from the seller and i'm wondering whether they are genuine. From the front page of this thread, i'm wondering whether the O2 have updated the look of there tickets or whether these are fake. I have received an email confirmation from the seller and the tickets have an authentic silver hologram but the picture of the O2 is different. It is more 3D than the image on this thread. It is taken at night with all the lights in the background. I'm guessing See tickets and Ticketmaster tickets look different to these. It appears they have been bought from the O2, as the envelope / case thing that they come in is made by them. Everything looks genuine but i'm worried as they don't normally have this picture on them. I'm probably worrying for no reason but if anyone has bought tickets from the O2 please can you help put my mind at rest? Thanks very much Steph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jac50 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I was forced to buy tickets from a seller come tout on Ebay but haven't received them yet. He claims he bought them through Stargreen ticket agency and hasn't received them yet. Has anyone else purchased tickets through Stargreen and have you received the tickets. Thanks for your help. Getting a wee bit anxious now what with the post strikes. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you purchase your ticket from from the venue ? I got my ticket from Ebay and the seller got it from ticketmaster. My hologram is more silver ( looks real ) and is just under where your number 44 is. The hologram is not on the o2 picture. God I'm have plane tickets booked from Glasgow and paid for my hotel already. Please someone tell me I have a genuine ticket:$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so then you can use that to check on ticketmaster's website whether your ticket details match what is on the ticket itself. Failing that you may need to call ticketmaster and ask them.

005 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 It sounds real enough to me as long as it's not a pure silver circle then you are ok though you could do what the other boarder said by getting the details no logging in yourself.

Mozza Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 What I dont get is why people would almost punish themselves in a way, by not getting to see their favourite band, in a feeble attempt to stop something that will never go away. I appreciate that some cannot afford to pay the money to touts, but again I agree with The Chef, If I choose to pay over the odds for a ticket, then so be it Which is unfortunately why the touts are operating. There really needs to be a way that touts are stopped and unless there is legislative action then boycotting is the only way (but trying to get 10,000+ people to refuse to use ebay for tickets isn't likely) Does not sound good as the tickets are only posted out a 3 to 4 weeks before the gig. Contact the venue or better still go there. Hope everything is ok. Let us know how you got on. I got my O2 tickets for the 12th in June so really depends on what batch of tickets your order has been allocated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
