dawno Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I'm with you..do u think we are better off doing ticketmaster online or going to a tickemaster box office and waiting?? I seriously believe your best bet is to try online and the phone simultaneously. Since Muse have gained popularity here in the states, the demand for tickets will be greater this time around than their last MSG gig (which was OUTSTANDING). This means that not only will longtime & newer fans be after tickets, but so will the scalpers / touts. I can guarantee that there will be hundreds if not thousands of listings for MSG Muse tix on eBay & stubhub just moments after the tickets go onsale. It's common knowledge that ticketmaster is in bed with these resellers - they make even more money on the resale market. It's so frustrating.

Fan's can't get the best seats through ticketmaster anymore. You have to go through another broker for triple the money. It's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimus Reim Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 So if I get tickets, I'm going to write a letter to Muse management telling them to suck my balls because I overcame their BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smegma Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 well, i guess tomorrow I'll go through the same confusion and frustration trying to get tickets through the Radio pre-sale.... Am I right in thinking that we'll be emailed a code/link to go to their page, to go to a link to Ticketmaster?? Failing that, I'll be up with the lark on Saturday, preparing to cry in to my coffee at 10.03..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degrassi41 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I may come off as sounding like a complete bitch here...but oh well. Why the fuck didn't they do here what they did for the Sept '10 UK shows, where only people who were registered PRIOR to the presale announcement could get presale tickets. No offense to new fans, I'm happy you guys are here and love the boys as well, but that system WORKED. WAY less scalping. I've noticed a lot of people who have only just registered on .mu have gotten the presale. It's pretty rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about me, who has been on here for a few months already, but never registered for the actual site? (Mainly because I thought the forum name and site name would be similar).

Those dates aren't accurate on the side, and it shouldn't matter when you became a fan, the problem is the scalpers, not the people that actually want to see the show.

I've noticed a lot of people who have only just registered on .mu have gotten the presale. It's pretty rubbish. The thing is, I was able to get to the presale site the other day without even being logged in to .mu (i went to the DC gig page, clicked the link and it opened the site, it was only after that I realized I forgot to log in) so i'm not sure they limited this presale at all..... It would have been nice to have personalized codes in our profiles like they did for the Teignmouth and UK stadium shows, or even just the links made available through a mailing list email in advance, like they did for the fall tour, but alas...

bellamyspiano Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I agree with Steph (Degressi) - regardless of who registered when, that's beside the point. The point is that the SYSTEM should have been EXACTLY the same as tickets for the REST of the tour, i.e - a unique code in your member's profile, and a better ticketing agent like seetickets or something, to make it FAIR. It's like America are getting shit on again and it absolutely stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melificent Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I can't even find the MSG date on Ticketmaster. Do we know if it will be up by tomorrow for this radio presale? This has by far been the most stressful and confusing ticket purchase I have ever experienced. And I have been to a hell of a lot of shows.

Destephticon Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Has anyone gotten anything from 101.9 rxp? I am a rock republic member and have been for a while, and I have gotten nothing about the pre-sale tomorrow. Today's presale was a fail and it crushed me, I don't care if I have the worst seat in the house as long as I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
