misspinecone Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'm staying there as well - I think Musers are probably going to take over the place! Somewhere earlier on in this thread a member that is familiar with the area said the Cavalier Inn was decent and definitely within walking distance of the venue.

Hyper Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 We'll be coming up from Raleigh in the morning. I'm a little worried about the parking situation here for all of us early people who'll be queueing for barrier and need to park their cars. i cannot figure out the parking either what should we do, may be call the arena?

JacksSmirkingR3venge Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 To anyone who thinks they're gonna need a lot of extra energy. Those 5-hour energy drinks work pretty good, I split one between 2 other people and still felt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been light-headed and super-tired for the past three weeks, plus almost pass out when I stand up and I finally found out why: My blood pressure was 80/50. The good news is they can fix it. So you guys won't have to prop me up on the barrier when I conk out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to test one of those little drinks out because we might go to the NC show the day before. And needless to say my mom was going to be really tired if we did that! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the last gig I was at, the crowd body surfed the passed out people up to the barrier and dumped them over it. Then security hauled them away.

I just got this image of them dumping everyone in a cart backstage, like during the plague in medieval times. But yeah I would prefer not to experience that ...

HCat78 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'm going to the Raleigh show and would like to go to this one as well. Does anyone know of any extra tickets? I did check the sell swap thread- no luck. I'd like to be in 114 (lower the better) ticks on ticket sites are about $150 each I need 2. Any thoughts??

I was just about to go and buy two of them for me and my brother but they were sold out I'm totally against scalpers, but sometimes it's better than not being able to go. I bought GA tix to the Atlanta show in Feb from Ebay. The sellers usually care a lot about their ratings, so they are pretty safe. I paid 3X face value for each ticket, if you want a reference point. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! I just discovered stubhub through my aunt and a friend, they said that worked real good. So I might get them there. I was ripped off Ebay before, it probably wouldn't happen this time but I would be so nervous I don't think it would be worth it. I might just use it in the future. Or, here's an idea, not be stupid enough to ask my brother if he would do GA with me AFTER the tickets are sold out Thanks, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to pay too much either. But this will be my last Muse show of the year And I want to do GA so badly! (always wanted to do it but nobody would ever go with me). And this will be my last chance to try it, so I figured it was worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to go and buy two of them for me and my brother but they were sold out I used TicketLiquidator.com to buy 2 GA tickets for the 4/9/2010 show in Phoenix and had a good experience. I did a little bit of research on ticket sellers and TicketLiquidator got good reviews. The tix were $102 each with a $18.87 service fee for each and a $15 standard delivery fee. The tickets arrived via FedEx within a few days of my purchase. Not cheap but so worth being at the barrier in GA!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked up TicketLiquidator.com and it seems they are more well known than stubhub.com. And it looks like they have better reviews. (also they're a bit cheaper) I'm gonna do a bit more research, but I think I will be more comfortable buying from them. Anybody else use TicketLiquidator.com before? Did it go smoothly?

Ella Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I've just realized that my 4 hour drive through the night to get from the Raleigh show to this one might not be main highways. I'm officially terrified. The suggested routes are these: US 29, 207 miles US 15, 190 miles US 85 to US 64, 237 miles Can anyone who knows Virginia well help me choose one? I want the route that will get me there the quickest but still have opportunities for gas and potty breaks. It's me and my mom, and we're not very tough at at all; I'm scared to be on a ghostly highway in the middle of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's me and my mom, and we're not very tough at at all; I'm scared to be on a ghostly highway in the middle of the night. I don't know about US-15, but US-29 is pretty commonly used, and it goes straight through Cville (JPJ is right off of US-29/Emmet Street). I think 29 is sparsely populated in some areas, but they have good hubs of gas stations/potty break areas every so often. If you really want civilization on the way, I'd say your best bet is along the interstate (85 to 64). Your run-of-the-mill highway systems. What time of day will you be on the road though?

JacksSmirkingR3venge Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I just ordered my GA tickets and the order was confirmed! I'm completely new to this queue thing, so if you have any advice that would be great! So excited as this will be my first time in the pit @ above posts, hope you find a good decent road to travel on! It's pretty creepy traveling on back roads at night.
