24th October - Prudential Center, Newark, NJ

[Triple C]

Ah I see. But what tickets will be in the presale? Are they more expensive?

 

A mix of seats and GA. Same prices as the general sale, but I'm not actually sure what the prices are for this show. I'll be going for GA.

 

Another note on presales that came up in the Charlottesville thread: If you go to buy your tickets right as the presale opens, and it says none available, don't give up. Try again in 5, 10, 20 minutes ... there's often a second wave available.

[Bailey Essrog]

yea newark is really bad,you dont wanna come here...

just kidding. it's not that bad. pru center is in ok location..

 

I grew up in the Bronx and I still roll up my windows when I pass through Newark.

 

I kid... If you take public transportation you'll be fine, as thousands of others will be coming and going with you.

Well said.

[andy24]

Fuck, I'm gonna be in school when the presale starts. I guess I gotta get my mom to do it for me.

 

One question though. Do you have to sign up or anything for the presale page or do you just go on and buy them?

[Optimus Reim]

Ahh my old hockey team plays at the rink connected to the Pru Center (Which is the Devils practice rink)! I love going there haha.

[agenthal]

Radio presale at same time = less scalpers on concertmaps

 

Hell yes.

Like I said in the NY thread, not too crazy about the city choices, but I'll definitely be at both.

Newark isn't THAT bad, plus to Prudential Center is two blocks from Newark Pennstation which you can get to by NYC Penn Station on one train. It's a 20 minute train ride and costs 4$

 

BTW...LMFAO at that Conan video!

[Tofu]

HELL YES

 

Anyway, Newark's not as bad as it seems. At least, I've walked outside at night alone without any problems.... once... and I was scared. lol.

Anyone know how good of a venue this is for concerts? Specifically Muse concerts?

its pretty good! i actually saw britney spears at the prudential center. i was literally at the last seat in the last row at the very top. naturally, i tried moving up. i got caught twice, no consequences except for going back up to my seat. but then i snuck down really far and got to stay there the rest of the show. hahaha

It's okay, I've seen Britney twice, Cher twice on her farewell tour, Avril Lavigne's first tour, and the Backstreet Boys, amongst other shit I made the mistake of going to as a kid. You've got nothing on me!

Wait, it gets better. Let's see... Dixie Chicks, Shania Twain, Jordin Sparks (eh, it was a free thing), Simple Plan... and I think that's about it for shitty bands I've seen. I WIN! At least this is balanced out by like 100 other good bands.

[Bailey Essrog]

Damn, I cannot wait for this weekend to arrive. I expect to see all of us getting down to Dead Star, Bliss and Space Dementia (ahem Muse?), and the pre- and post-festivities shall be such that they will not be soon forgotten... Hooray for Newark! (Who'da thunk anyone would ever say that?!)

Man, you guys are making me feel awesome. When I was a kid (teen) I went to see The Descendents, Less Than Jake, Mighty Mighty Bosstones ... LOL ... I saw Blink 182 when they were SUPPORT for Less Than Jake at the Troc in Philadelphia. LTJ was (and is) better ... I kind of got off the punk/ska scene though ... it was some fun stuff but it really didn't quite jibe with my soul. I digress.

 

You know what's going to be hard? Pronouncing Newark correctly. I live near Newark, Delaware, which is pronounced "New Ark" ... not "Nork" like this one. Haha.

Holy shit that list is so WIN. I'm such a stick in the mud about going to shows. I went to a handful freshman year in high school and then just totally never bothered ... I have a lot of social anxiety problems that had a lot to do with it. Muse dragged me out of my social-phobia coma ... at least temporarily. I did see Coldplay in Philly in 2008 and loved, loved, loved that show. I'm still really pissed at myself that I didn't go see Keane last year when they came to Tower Theater ... I didn't go because I had no one to go with, but I should have gone alone!!!

 

Still, I don't think you could pay me to go a Britney Spears concert ... not so much because I couldn't handle her (I actually like a song or two, I'll admit it), but because of the crowd. Maybe I'd be surprised, but ... I'd take that over a Justin Bieber concert ... being trampled by 14-year-old girls has got to be an awful way to die.
