Come and worship at the Church of the Almighty Muse

[MatthewBellamysMuse]

I can't be the only one who loves this band more than life itself (well almost).
I only just discovered them a month ago. I can't believe I missed so much.

Melloncollie, I can;t remember, are you going to the O2? Which night?

Oh how I wish I'd discovered Muse when Absolution came out. That must have been one hell of a tour. Sadly I was too busy having babies to think about music much.

Am going to see them in Barcelona on 24th.

Know nowt about Muse-just tagging along with my Muse obsessed friend, but understand they are fab live.

Was on here getting early last month genning up on their songs...

Absolution is the only album you need. Although they'll probably only play two or three songs from it.

Going to Brum tomorrow Lyra, and I'm so excited!!

Oooh, tonight! I expect a full report tomorrow.

I'm back! They were bloody awesome.

Opened with Uprising followed by Resistance; as expected they played guiding light and undisclosed desires but the rest more than made up for it!

Hysteria was amazing, as was plug in baby, newborn, MK Ultra, unatural selection...

They closed with Knights of Cydonia. They were on for over 2 hours, and although I didn't get as close to the front as I had hoped (obstructive bag!) I had a pretty good view.

Will be reliving it via youtube for the rest of the day.

When are you going Lyra?

It sounds amazing.
My tickets aren't coming
I've been ripped off by a scam artist. There are warnings about them all over the net but there were none when I booked and paid £175 for two tickets back in May.
I may have to resort to buying from a tout at the venue, which I hate doing (and can't afford) but I cannot miss seeing my favourite band.

Oh Lyra - No. How awful. Hope you can get a ticket somewhere (and get your money back from the others somehow).

We will shortly be setting off for the 02 for tomorrows concert (staying just outside London tonight) Cant wait.

Oh Lyra. Bastards .

I really hope you get hold of a ticket. I guess you've checked ebay for collection tickets?

Me too. I have to see them, whatever it costs.

I've emailed them but, funnily enough, no reply yet...

Tickets on ebay are going for silly money. I'd be better off trying a tout on the night, I think.

seeing them tonight...

feeling good.....

Lying cheating scamming thieving bastards have sent me this reply to my email:

Please accept our apologies but we are going to have to refund your money in full for this booking.

We have been let down by our suppliers for this event and are not going to be able to get you the tickets. We have instructed our bank to refund you in full back to the account from where the money was taken.

We advise you to contact the venue direct to see if they have any tickets available.

Alternatively you can try See Tickets or Ticketmaster:

Sorry for the disappointment.

Yeah right. I expect I'll have trouble getting my money back. I've sent them a reply threatening legal action if my money is not refunded immediately.

Good luck Lyra. I take it you decided not to go and buy outside then?

Who did you 'buy' through - was it a company or person?

UKticketfactory.com. Looked like a legit website. Lots of others have been scammed by them but they're still 'selling' tickets
DP's trying to get us in through his contacts. So there's still hope. If not I'll go to a tout tomorrow night.

Daftpunk, did you go last night?
Were there many touts selling tickets? Looks like I'm going to have to resort to that.

hi lyra....

yes, i went....they were brilliant..! and they did feeling good....

tbh i didn't see any touts..(but i wasn't looking)....i'm sure they are around...

i've been reading your posts.....so sorry you've had all this crap....i'd be

Awww, I soooo have to go.
I just missed out on two standing tickets at face value on the Muse.mu site. Kicking myself. I hardly dare leave the laptop now in case more come up
[ad]

Hi - just got back from last nights concert. DP glad you enjoyed it and yes it was brilliant. I must admit I didnt see any touts at all either.

Cant remember if it was on this thread but thanks to those MNTTRS for advice to take a spare water bottle top in my pocket (cos the stewards take the tops off your bottles when you go in).

Also for the advice on parking (North Greenwich tube station). Was easy to get a space and at £6 not a rip off (£25 in 02 car park 1 I believe).

lyra have you tried gumtree

of you all!

Just read what happened to you, poor you. Don't know if this helps but I went last night I didn't have a ticket but queued at ticket office and the lady said they had been releasing tickets in dribs and drabs from 12 onwards we got there at 6.30 and missed the last lot but stayed in the queue and people were coming over to see if they could return tickets as friends hadn't shown up, they weren't able to return but we managed to buy 2 tickets of the guy and paid him once we got inside, it was close but we got in at 7.30. It was worth it they were brilliant! Hope this helps.

Regan, that helps. I'll send DP early and get him to hang around the box office.
I'm constantly monitoring Muse.mu, ebay and Gumtree.

I got tickets!!!!!!! After waiting in a queue for four hours they finally released some. Just waiting for dp now then I'm going in. Thanks so much regan for the tip.
So excited!!!
