blueOrchid Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I ordered from ConcertMaps and haven't gotten mine yet either. I got an email from them (after many numerous attempts) earlier this week saying they would be mailed in the next couple of weeks. I hope they come sooner rather than later. I'll be glad once I get my tickets, because I had some problems with concertmaps getting my shipping address wrong. I had to email them with the correct address several times until they finally put the right shipping address. They kept saying I lived in alabama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hysteria87 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Got my MSG ones from Concertmaps yesterday, so Chicago should be coming next week Are any of you thinking of taking the L in? And all those standing, what time are you thinking of getting in line? I'm really trying to figure out the best way to go about this day, as my friends are all being crap about it.

And all those standing, what time are you thinking of getting in line? I'm really trying to figure out the best way to go about this day, as my friends are all being crap about it. I'm not taking the L in, because I'm coming from Indiana, but I was planning on trying to get there by 12 or 1. I'm hoping that will be early enough to get to the barrier or close to the barrier. I'm not completely sure, because I've never been to a muse gig before I'll feel so much better once I get my tickets, too, since concertmaps was giving me problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Star Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I want to try and be up near the front of the line outside the venue so I can get to the barrier as quickly as possible, so I was thinking about lining up around 9 or 10 am. Is that too early/late for a US gig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainingradioheads Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I'm not gonna get there until around 5. Is this really late? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epona99 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 That makes me feel like I should get there earlier, but I'm already facing a 2 1/2hr drive I'm driving down the day before, staying with my sister, not sure when I'm heading for the venue, still haven't quite given up on a GA ticket, but if I keep my seated one, I suppose I don't need to be overly early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an email from them (after many numerous attempts) earlier this week saying they would be mailed in the next couple of weeks. What's the email address? If you don't mind. I must be an idiot because I couldn't find it on the ticket site...probably concertmaps@"something".com or .net but I have no idea. Never got an email from them but my credit card was charged and the order shows on my account online. Really rather have an email though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want also, their phone number is 646-485-1314. Still haven't got my tickets. Just don't want it to be one of those things that comes through at the last minute, because knowing me, I will go ahead and buy outrageously priced tickets somewhere else, and then they will finally come in the mail the day before.

Pistol Star Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I really don't want to have to spend all day in line, but I don't want to not be able to be up front either. I'll scope out the venue that morning to see where things stand, and if people are there already, then I'll starting standing in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hysteria87 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It really depends. For MSG two years ago, we got in line at 11 am and were right in front of Matt. At Lollapalooza, I didn't even go in unto 6 pm and got second row. For Wembley, people camped overnight. I plan on getting there around 9-10 am. Just remember to bring food and drinks with you, but don't drink too much so you don't have to go to the bathroom halfway through SSPU. Know what you can handle and listen to your body. It won't be worth sitting out all day just to pass out once you get inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaelu Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 is anyone else still bitter about the botched ticket release? yes I'm pretty sure most people know they shouldn't just post up the presale codes, but some people did it anyway. when presale codes are posted here or any other internet site, anyone can use them It really depends.

Know what you can handle and listen to your body. It won't be worth sitting out all day just to pass out once you get inside. a thread's been started by some experienced Musers & concert-goers here: http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=69344 even if you have been to shows before and are experienced yourself, this is really a great reminder of what to plan for, and what to expect once you get there. I'm driving down the day before, staying with my sister, not sure when I'm heading for the venue, still haven't quite given up on a GA ticket, but if I keep my seated one, I suppose I don't need to be overly early I wouldn't think so either! is your sister attending the show as well, or are you by yourself? (if you don't mind me asking - PM me if you want) we have seated reserved for this show. not 100% thrilled with the section .... but I'm going to suck it up and hope for late release. have we moved on from all the food talk? I won't be lining up gods early like some of you folk, but I would be happy to bring mini sandwiches or some other nourishment if I can find you in line! quite a few folks have gotten a Resistance/ forum member shirt for those who really want to find each other http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=66642 and I am up for a Chicago Musers social ... it's a widespread area, and it's cold! shall I just pick a time and place and see who shows up?? how about Joy Yee in Chinatown there's the Red Line and Parking options though I know not everyone would like the food there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaelu Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I've never been to the United Center before but a friend of mine was just there, and she said that there was parking right next to the venue. That should make things easier. there is, but not sure how early the parking will open prior to the show? maybe your friend knows more details, as I've never gone to a Blackhawks/ Bulls game or any concert, where we showed up as early as some of you plan to be there. the parking lots are gated and they will expect payment. depending on who owns the lot, and how close the lot is to the UC, parking can be +/- $20.

I'm not sure if she would know the details about parking because she was there for an Eddie Izzard show and didn't need to get there super early. I don't see why there would be any problem with parking early, though. Surely they'd be expecting fans to start lining up early. I don't mind paying for parking, either. $20 wouldn't be that bad as far as parking in Chicago goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hysteria87 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Here's a parking map for the UC: The green sections are for general parking and cost $20. Any of the other ones cost more and for the VIP, you have to request special permission or something I'm not an expert on Chicago, but from what I can remember, Chinatown is really south and not really near the UC. And the Red Line doesn't go to the UC, just the Blue, Pink, and Brown lines. Point being, I think Chinatown might be out of the way for most. But, I'm not going to a meet-up if it's before, as I will be in line. I would be up for something after. I am hoping to meet a few of you in line! My friends have seat so they won't be coming in until later, so I'll be alone in line I won't have one of the fan shirts, but look for me near the front. I'll be wearing some crazy blue pants Maybe I should just make a sign with my name on it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.Barr is near enough to Crystal Lake for them to (supposedly) gain appreciation maybe through the Smoking Popes (mainly local band these days) but who knows you'll have your car, you'll be fine. but like hysteria87 says, have cash for the parking. if you have a decent GPS device, even better to get around, but the signal gets wonky downtown with all the tall buildings. we're local and we still use a GPS all the time!

hysteria87 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Any and all line-sitting supplies will be greatly appreciated Driving back to Detroit? Ugh, that is not a fun drive.

I'm good with maps, very visual learner, so I don't need a GPS and good thing since I can't afford one! my sister and I have very different lifestyles But after hearing some Musers' BDO experiences I am starting to think about trying again for a GA ticket, if someone can go for the barrier with a broken rib, I should not let minor middle aged complaints stop me!
