Jenipuh Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 First post here... This is our first time seeing Muse and we're exciiiited! It would be awesome if we could hang out with some like-minded muse people before the show! I live in Cincinnati and know a few places that would be cool to go to. Crossing the bridge on foot and going to places across the river, like someone said, would be pretty awesome. At any rate, can't wait for the show! Hurry up, November! btw, got floor 2 row D woo! just curious...which sale did you go through to get tickets in floor 2 row D? muse.mu presale, ticketmaster radio presale, ticketmaster venue presale, or ticketmaster public sale? or through a ticket broker? lots of options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's looking like there will be quite the group of us meeting up! I wonder what kind of shenanigans we can all get up to?! Man, is it November yet? I don't want to wish the summer away, but this 6 month wait is gonna kill me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincybearcat Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Bottom line they have re-set the precedent and I didn't have to follow your link because I am very aware that the deaths at the WHO concert occured because of a stampede before the concert, lack of communication and lack of open doors opening into the venue. Now all GA venues in the US that I have attended pretty much DEMAND that people walk/no running to their position on the floor and then sit down until the concert begins - its very elementary school. You need to lighten up there champ. I never said I agreed with it, just what it had been for a long time and why it still seems hard to get a GA show there. You must be pretty upset about the lack of GA, huh? I was surprised to hear about Metallica though. It seems they had been making some exceptions for a different type of crowd (bruce, taylor swift), but the fact that Metallica had GA certainly sows that any band should be able to. As for crowd safety technology...what exactly is that? Nothing much has changed over the years. GA is an open floor with a barrier at the front. Only thing is to make sure you open enough doors. It can only be controlled by the staff at the venue. By the way, I'm pretty sure they wanted the people at the Who concert to walk and not run as well, but once someone starts running it's a mad dash for all!!! Anyhow, just enjoy the show no matter if there is GA or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, just enjoy the show no matter if there is GA or not. Why are you making more assumptions? You seem to like information so just letting you know that we already knew about the Who and the recent history of the venue champ. Technology - better radios and wireless/mobile phones, more research into crowd behavior and surge phenomenom, better relationships between gig goers and security in general normally excluding the police department. Actually planning for an event and emergency scenarios. Organized door openings not just one door opened with lack of support from other security which happened at the Who concert. Video links and cameras. And in the 1970s it was well known to run for the barrier. I have heard GAers being told they will be ejected from the venue for running to the floor in my experience. As yet I haven't seen anyone test it so most people must feel that it is a reasonable expectation that it will be enforced. FTR I'm not upset about the GA situation - slightly annoyed may be a better adjective but as I have a busy and varied life there no reason to spend energy being upset about a situation that may be out of my control. I will question the situation to ensure that was the intent of those creating it. Sometimes you find out there was a mistake at the other end and it will be rectified. Otherwise we can work on knitting the worlds longest scarf whilst sitting in our seats watching Muse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Unintended xx Becca Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Re-asking this since it was skipped over... lol To anyone that knows Cinci: What would be the hotel to stay at Downtown, near the concert arena? There seems to be quiteeee a few hotels to select from that are all in the same area near the arena. Where do people typically go? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraMuse Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I was just about to post on here when Becca's message popped up! The Columbus thread has been hopping lately and I think most are going to both shows, but wanted to show the Cincy thread some love too! Becca - I'm in Columbus so I'm no help in the Cincy hotels dept. However, if you go to Google maps and type in the address for the arena (100 Broadway Street, Cincy, OH), you can see everything labeled to get an idea of what is nearby. Looks like maybe the Travelodge across the river is the closest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, I've done google and my own research but I'm still not positive which one is where most people would stay at. xD. I'm probably considering Hyatt first, maybe Millenium or Cincinattian or whatever that was? I don't know. I'm okay with paying more so I don't have to cross the river. xD. And since I live in KY, I don't want to stay in KY. . That sounds sooo petty, but I'm weird like that. ;D. Hahaha. Also, has anyone been to the huge mall/shopping thing up there in Cinci?

hunterrunfarm Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 This thread has been neglected lately. I haven't even thought about hotels yet...I usually wait until the last minute and then panic. I would like to stay in Cincy and not have to drive back that night. I have no idea on hotels down there ( in the past we stayed on the KY side because we live in OH...so Becca you are not the only one:LOL:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say "I'M GOING TO OHIO FOR THE WEEKEND!" and then stay at a hotel in KY... LAME-O. Even if it is just like 5 minutes of a difference across the river. XD.

crowbi_wan Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I was just looking at hotels, too. Need something cheap and preferably someplace where I can accumulate reward points for my airline miles. Actually, I'll probably stay near the airport since my flight leaves at 9:20 am on Sunday. No late night partying for me. Guess I'll have to do that in Columbus!

painterface Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Re-asking this since it was skipped over... lol Well, there's a LOT of hotels around the area. I wouldn't know which one to stay at, though. It really depends on what you want to spend. Most within walking distance would be pretty expensive(over 100). Man, we should all get rooms at the same hotel. Have a party floor lol..there's two of you guys staying at...what was the hotel? I live in cincinnati, but it would be fun to stay in a hotel downtown after the concert! Beer, music(I'm sure there are people that sing and play) and fellow muse fans at the hotel! But here's a link to a list of hotels around the area...(I think it works): http://reservations.hotelguides.com/nexres/search/search_results.cgi?interstitial=done&avail=Y&bed_type=NP&src=10013438&address_lat_lng=39.097471%2C-84.505083&max_distance=6&poi_name=Hotels+near+US+Bank+Arena+-+Cincinnati%2C+Ohio&smoking_pref=NP&tab=tab0&search_city_vicinity=1&t0_distance=10&chk_in=11%2F06%2F2010&doa_mm=11&doa_dd=06&doa_yy=2010&chk_out=11%2F07%2F2010&dod_mm=11&dod_dd=07&dod_yy=2010&num_adults=1&num_children=0&num_rooms=1&minorAge1=-%3F-&minorAge2=-%3F-&minorAge3=-%3F-&minorAge4=-%3F-&Go=Find+Hotels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
