Muse ticket selling day, nothing beats waking up dead early and battling it out with loads of musers to buy tickets. For those who’ve been living in a cave all their time or havent been using a decent feed reader, Muse have been announced to play at the Royal Alert Hall for a charity gig on April the 12th. It’s been some good months since Muse toured in Lundun so it will be good to see them again.
Ticket buying is pretty much second nature to a regular gigger so it will hopefully be a breeze buying tickets, problems only arise when you start buying tickets in groups and stall tickets are either not an option or they’re sold out. The problem is when companies have no idea of demand and server loads when people are all rushing in and buying tickets all on the same time to ensure that they get to see their favorite band. Definitely a bad call to release all tickets for the event (it spans out to a few days and includes a nice array of performances ranging from comedy to good old ROCK). I’m very sure that the server will not cope with the load and cause loads of people panicing and further adding load to the site by continuously refreshing their pages, oh yeah.
Anyway, the best method I would recommend anyone is to simply buy the tickets at the venue. You have no idea how stressless it is, buying Radiohead (lol?) tickets was fun when you were the first ones in the queue and knew you were guranteed for standing tickets, you also get your tickets in hand too!
So yeah, how is your ticket buying experience? Any tips for your fellow muser friends? Feel free to register and post your comments on ticket buying.
Part 2 of the 2 gigs in one week week. I managed to catch up with Michelle to eat some sushi and check out Polysics. They were epiccly jumpy last time and this time I heard more of their stuff so will appreciate it more. The gig was excellent as usual and everyone was crazy during the gig. I took loads of photos but eventually had to hide and move from the front to the middle of the venue since the security guard caught me hehe. Luckily they couldnt confiscate my camera hehe. Anyway, here’s some photos
We went to some pub afterwards and had a chat with Michelle and her friends from Virgin. I managed to get a Big Issue card thingy the big issue sellers wear and michelle was up for wearing it and looking like a hobo hehe. All in all a good day for gigging and photo taking! The keyboardist was cute and tiny as ever! and the lead singer was fun with his engrish!
I decided to go see them the day before they were playing, tickets were still on sale and I really enjoyed the song Alice put on my mix cd so I decided to pay them a gigging visit. The gig was awesome, I was sly enough to check out their latest setlist and make a playlist out of it so I knew some songs during the gig. I managed to smuggle my dslr camera using my usual smuggling technique and got loads of photo action. They played at Scala, Kings Cross, the beauty of this venue was that there wasn’t a gap between the band and the fans, we were literally next to the stage, meant I could take some nice shots. The lighting was amazing (it’s a club so it should have epic lighting) so the photos turned out really good. I got some real crispy action!
Murder in Monochrome live at Barfly, this was a submission for the theme “Music” for the muser Playground, feel free to take part if you dwell in the Muse board and post some of your photos to the pool.
Went to see Murder in Monochrome with Michelle, was quite fun. Had a FOURTH nando’s meal (had one with my dad, new years and one with Alice) in a short period of time which was hilarious. We then sat at the local pub a bit before they were on. The gig was quite fun and photo taking was cooler then before (haven’t done much photo taking in a while). So yeah, enjoy the photos
