control Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 55,000 isnt really A TON of ppl. There shouldnt be any problems getting into the gig 2hrs before MUSE starts, and just working your way to the front. Ya, there are the typical assholes who wont move for you but thats just when you shove them aside. I flew into Amsterdam from Chicago to see this show. Theres no way Im waiting 8 hours and certainly no way Ill be standing 5 miles away from the stage either. They are MUSE fans......if it was pushing through 55,000 Slayer fans, Id expect more of a problem :LOL: You'll fit right in! :LOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borknagardrummer Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 :LOL: You'll fit right in! :LOL: I saw Muse in Japan about 6 months ago......it was the easiest crowd Ive ever walked through. Made it to the front in 15 minutes. I was of course the only American there also but still.....the shows in the states are where the jerks are. They get drunk and start mosh pits and launch beer around the whole time. Euro shows rule so much more than the states. Next Saturday will RULE!!!

NicoleW Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 It most certainly will rule, but if you think that people are going to be happy to let you past after having queued for hours think again! Dutch crowds aren't as polite as Japanese crowds. I certainly wouldn't let you past! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might even try to make their way to the front by shoving all these other 'asshole' non-American Musers aside!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyBrainHurts! Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 What time does the concert end? We (me and mum) are taking a train from nijmegen dukenberg to den haag centraal at 22:48 and i was hoping i could see all songs(1st gig im 13) please tell me i can at least stay till plug in baby! Are you sure you don't mean Nijmegen centraal? The trains from Dukenburg are usually on the hour(or a few min. before) and half past, but only go to Nijmegen centraal or Den Bosch... Also, expect a bit of a rush on busses after the concert, dont know how fast you can get to central station... Oh and there where about 60000 people at the LCCC in Manchester for Take That last year, but no extra barriers, and people did try to pass though as well but luckily loads didn't make it. I was near the runway and went on one toilet trip, but we kept saying to the people we passed that we'd be back and thankfully they remembered us...

Borknagardrummer Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 If you were heading to the show from Leiden, would you take the train via a bunch of stops in between or would you go for this "tour bus" deal that they have for 30 Euros.....which lands you directly at the gig but only 1 hour before doors..??? Im kinda stuck only for the fact that I want to be there at 12 and my girlfriend wants to be there at 5pm.... How is everyone else getting there?

MyBrainHurts! Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Oh and a wee request from me, last time I went to the Gofferpark I saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and people where talking through the entire concert. Granted I wasn't really near the front, and they din't play that loud but it did get annoying. So please let us enjoy the concert, if the songs are new to you try to enjoy them and if you do feel like wasting 50 euro's (I mean if you want to just chat with a mate go to a pub) please do it elsewhere thanks!

Sorry I live in Nijmegen so transport is not really a problem for me I'm afraid... Will probably watch the match first though, I don't need to be near the front so I'll head round there around 4-5? I do know that after the RHCP there where LOADS of people trying to get out and for Coldplay people did have trouble getting home, so I'm hoping you can all catch your trains afterwards and/or the NS do extra trains!

We are also contemplating driving there but there isnt anything online with any info about how good parking near the gig is.....or if there is any parking period. I guess we'll see what happens. Regardless, should be an amazing show...looking forward to the new stage. The pillars were awesome on the arena tour but this looks to be possibly the biggest stage production Ive seen yet....bigger than Pink Floyd. Dont worry about BS talking from me....Im there to scream every lyric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadeaway Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Honestly? I thought 55,000 is the full capacity of the Goffertpark? Obviously it isn't 'sold out' by any stretch of the imagination though. . Maximum capacity is 60.000 at Goffertpark. So just another 5000 to go Mojo expect (based upon last numbers) that there will be 55.000 people. Okay, don't kill me if it are 50.000 or 57.0000. It's expected And getting out is terrible (at least it was at Coldplay)...busses are completely full (we had to wait for almost an hour for a bus to the parkingplace) and leaving from the parkingplace was a nightmare. This time I can park at the Goffertstadium, so I hope it will be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK Soultra Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hey Nijmegen Musers!! Me and my friends decided to camp in Nijmegen after the Muse gig cos we won't get the last train. I guess this will be a very funny musey drunkey night If anybody has the same problem and want to join us, you're welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the max. capacity of Goffertpark, give or take a few thousand... But please post a link to these official ticket sales/numbers you are referring to? And I don't mean Mojo guesstimations but livenation/eventim figures, I don't think those are disclosed? Anyways, everyone, plenty of official tickets left and even better, that link I posted are people trying to sell of their (extra) tickets at rock bottom prices, so anyone looking for a bargain, go for it!

Muse should probably play just over a couple of hours, right? Ive checked ns.nl and the last train leaves 22:48. Ill just do a hotel. I suppose muse will stay in the best hotel or, like last time, stay in amsterdam. Well see, can everyone keep me posted on help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadeaway Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 They play mostly about 1,5 hours. If you do want to stay in a hotel....I wish you luck. A lot of hotels are full and the others are expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese on toast Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 55,000 isnt really A TON of ppl. There shouldnt be any problems getting into the gig 2hrs before MUSE starts, and just working your way to the front. Ya, there are the typical assholes who wont move for you but thats just when you shove them aside. I flew into Amsterdam from Chicago to see this show. Theres no way Im waiting 8 hours and certainly no way Ill be standing 5 miles away from the stage either. They are MUSE fans......if it was pushing through 55,000 Slayer fans, Id expect more of a problem congratulations, you're a douche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
