Carter-Finley Stadium, Raleigh, 10/03/09

[blackapoco]

For all of us going to the U2 gig to see MUSE!!! :D Who here is going????

And BTW, on a different note, does anyone have 2 extra GA Floor tickets I can buy from you??? Or, is anyone willing to switch their GA Floor tix for two $30 seated tickets?? (I would of course pay you the difference)

THANKS! :)

[jaelu]

sorry no extra GA tix for that show - but if there's a ticket drop I might have 2 tix in Sec 4. we are coming down from north of the M-D line to see the show ;) can't hardly wait - gah !

[rufygirl]

I'll be there!

I may have one GA floor ticket to sell. I bought one for someone, but they may not be able to go now. I'll be sitting with 2 other family members in section 20, row O. :)

[eruwenolorien]

I have seats with 3 other friends in section 222, row K (right behind the stage)! I just discovered Muse on a road trip last July, and honestly can't remember life without it. :D This will be the first show for all 4 of us, and we're super stoked!!

SWEET!!! Please keep me in mind if you do decide to sell it!! :)

And also.. I LOVE getting my friends/family addicted to Muse!! :LOL: I made a top 20 list of my fave Muse songs for my older brother, he's 27, and he loved all of it and then bought tickets to the Raleigh show!! Woot :D yay for cultivating the Muse army :D

[filbertfoxx]

I booked tickets on the presale thinking oooh yes I can use my airmiles to get free flights from the UK, only to then discover that 'free' flights cost over £500!! :mad: So at the minute I have tickets but no flights so I have no idea if we will make it over there or not :(

Oh no!!! :( That is terrible!!! Are you checking elsewhere for cheap tickets? (Though I suppose it would still be quite expensive to not use your air miles...)

Hope things work out!!

[filbertfoxx]

Aw, thanks! I just bit the bullet and booked the flights :eek:

See you all there :D

[hawkhead99]

Anybody else going to the Raleigh, NC show ft. Muse on the U2 360 tour? I am. Muse is the only reason I am going. I am not a big U2 fan, but hey if its the only time Muse is coming to the US, I would like to see them perform.

BTW, why are the U2 360 tour dates where Muse is performing not on the Tour Dates section of the website? Only the Resistance tour dates are there (which btw, I wish some of those were in the US )

[Barnaby]

I sort of missed the ticket wagon on this one... when the dates were first announced, I just couldn't stomach taking myself to a U2 show, but now as the new album approaches, I can't stop myself. I'm going to Raleigh, but floor tickets seem to be sold out...does anybody have just one floor ticket they're looking to re-home? I'm not sure I could bear to be stuck way up in lord knows where with no other Muse fans around me.

[thestarlight]

im going to see a legendary band in U2 to be honest. i would have gone if it was someone else besides U2 because of Muse, but if U2 is there.wow. they are a legendary band and that's who im more excited to see but Muse is a close second.

I last saw U2 a very, very long time ago, back in the days when they didn't have huge sets or lightshows. They blew the roof off back then so I can't begin to imagine how amazing it's going to be in October! Really starting to get excited now.....:)

[eruwenolorien]

Aw, thanks! I just bit the bullet and booked the flights :eek:

See you all there :D
Wow, that's hardcore. But I totally understand! At the beginning of the summer, I was swearing that I'd put my passport to good use and visit the UK just to see Muse (friends were a little worried for my sanity when they realized I was serious). This show is going to be my first!

Ah, that sucks! Have you tried the ticket-selling thread on here? I wish I could help you more!

[lunaticaution]

Does anyone have/know someone with tickets who is selling them in the price range of $50-100? I discovered MUSE this summer and I became a huge fan! Please let me know, I'm dying a bit inside :(

[plastic passion]

I think we are going to this show. I dont have tickets yet and am I looking at different places to get floor tickets.
My sis likes U2. We seen them before on the popmart tour and they are very good live but I'm not a fan.
So if anyone hears/sees of floor tickets being sold at a reasonable price let me know.

[filbertfoxx]

less than 3 weeks to go people - can't wait for this :musesign:

Has anyone been to Carter Finley before? We are staying nearby but didn't know whether to walk there or drive - is there plenty of car parking? :)

[given2flyy]

I'm going! Can't wait! I've never been there before...I tried emailing someone about parking, etc...but, I think I emailed the wrong person...might try calling when it gets closer to time...

There's a buy/sell ticket thread somewhere on here, you might take a look but last I checked most of what they have is for UK tour dates. Maybe the U2 fans have their own forum thing and ticket threads - at this point, you might have a better chance to buy a spare ticket off of one of them, as I imagine there will be a lot more U2 fans at the gig than Muse fans. Good luck.

[Ragoo]

Check U2.com's community, plenty of tickets available there. All sold by fans at face value.

[plastic passion]

I tried emailing someone from the u2 forums for GA tickets they were trying to sell but they never responded so we ended up buying tickets from stubhub.

So those of you with GA tickets what time will you be in line? and where will you be going? inner circle? outer?

I ended up doing the stubhub thing as well. Maybe overpriced, but oh well. I'm still just a bit paranoid that I'll get down there and find my ticket is a very, very good fake. It looks real. It feels real. It tastes like a real ticket. But is it real real? Better be.

Stubhub has a fan protect guarantee.
In the event the Buyer encounters any problems at the venue, the Buyer is encouraged to call StubHub Customer Service immediately at 1.866.StubHub (1.866.788.2482) for assistance. If the Buyer contacts StubHub from the venue at the time of the event, StubHub will attempt to locate comparable replacement tickets for the buyer.

But how do they get the new tickets to you?

I have a feeling that, if they can find a comparable replacement, they probably contact Will Call at the venue and get you a ticket; or maybe they contact Ticketmaster or whoever tickets were sold through, and then you pick them up at Will Call. Of course, by the time you're finished playing phone tag with Stubhub and waiting in the Will Call line and all that mess, by the time you get in Muse is probably finished their set :(

But the chances of something like that happening are slim to none (I hope) :D

[aznaryl]

What time is everyone getting in line? I heard Chicago's line had about a couple hundred (if not more) people in line by 12pm. :eek:

Due to prior obligations that morning, our caravan won't arrive until 6pm at the earliest. Knowing that it would be impossible for all 4 of us to get from SC to Raleigh at an early enough time for great floor spots, I went ahead and bought tickets behind the stage (which, if Muse gets the same 360 setup as U2, I'm hoping will be awesome).

And when Muse comes next year *fingers crossed*, I hope to earn a spot on the floor with all the hardcore fans. :D

[Jenipuh]

My sister and I just bought GA tickets off eBay and booked our flights!! After hearing The Resistance, I couldn't imagine waiting until next year to see them live again. We're not huge fans of U2, but we couldn't resist.

I'm flying in Friday night so I can get up early Saturday and go wait in line because I've heard U2 fans are really dedicated?? Just how early do we have to show up to get a great spot?

Depends on where you want to stand. They have the inner circle that holds 2800 people. Heard you can usually get into the inner circle up until showtime but the stage is over 6ft high so that killed it for me. U2 fans will camp overnight if allowed if not they will get there 5am or so. By noon I'm sure the line will be a thousand + - if it is anything like the other cities. I'm really short so I just want somewhere that I can see without my face pressed into someone's back.

btw - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7oDItW_nM
this guy shot video from the front row. The stage is sooo high!

[Barnaby]

Of the Muse fans who are thinking to arrive uber early, is there anyone who is interested in trying to meet up and get in line together in a big happy Muse group? Normally I'd be jiggy with getting in line at 7 a.m. for a show, but I'm used to having a friend or two as company and I'm going to this gig alone :( The thought of sitting out there for twelve hours by myself with nothing but U2 fans on either side of me is likely to drive me insane.

That'd probably be a good idea, so the Muse fans can fend together!

Thanks for that clip — it was really helpful. Why is the stage so incredibly high?? I'm torn about where to stand now. On one hand I want to be in front and on the other, I don't want to be staring at metal for 45 minutes while listening to Muse.

Where do the people who get there at 5am head for when doors open?

Sure, I'm willing to. I'll be by myself for half the day until my sister arrives in the afternoon. I have a feeling the U2 fans are gonna freak me out too.

[Barnaby]

That'd probably be a good idea, so the Muse fans can fend together!


YES. Get a bunch of us together at the front of the line and lead a merry charge for the barricade as soon as gates open (although what's this about the stage being so high that folks on the barricade can't see the show?). I think it would be awesome to 1) have a big Muse turn out, and 2) stick together in a big group of Muse-i-ness and make sure the guys see us, preferably up close.

We really need to organize something, ya know? Like, find the spot that's as close as one can get without being too close to see anything, and then unfurl some massive "MUSE FANS HERE" sign with an enormous downpointing arrow. I absolutely can't stand being the only fan of an opener all by myself, jumping and flailing around like crazy, while all the other people around me just stand there staring. Pit flailage is so much funner in groups :D

[Barnaby]

Sure, I'm willing to. I'll be by myself for half the day until my sister arrives in the afternoon. I have a feeling the U2 fans are gonna freak me out too.

I'm also very worried about being freaked out byt the U2ers :LOL: I've never been to the venue so I can't recommend a good meeting place, but I guess the general idea would be if you are a Muse fan and you have a brilliant spot in line, and you see other Musers about, act like you know them and you've been saving their spot while they went to the bathroom or whatever...I don't know how the U2 fans will feel about other cutting the line, so maybe enough of us just need to get together beforehand and get in line all at once, so no U2 folks get upset? Or something. I don't know.

[Jenipuh]

YES! I am all for getting all the muse fans into one area in GA. We can pretend we're at a real muse show. After seeing them open for my chemical romance and getting dirty looks for stepping on feet and actually enjoying myself, I think that's a great idea. How do we organize though? We have to be subtle about it, I think.

Well, we can start generating a list of folks who want to get together early, and once we see how big a group we have, we can agree on a meeting time and spot. I feel like if we want to meet up before lining up, it would be best to get together in the parking lot, yeah? Have a big sign on top of someone's car or something maybe? Someone can bring a megaphone, lol.

[Jenipuh]

Ok so you, me and who else? Why is no one else chiming in?? At this rate, we won't need anything but a quick text.

[Barnaby]

Well, I reckon a lot of people are at work or school right now and won't be online checking up on things until later. We'll keep our ears open. I don't think there are a whole ton of us going to this gig to begin with, and I know a lot of people can't get there until later.

[Barnaby]

Soooooo....

It irritates the piss out of me when I wait at a venue all day and there's a group in front of me that lets not one, not two, but ten or fifteen or more people join in with them throughout the day, cutting the rest of the group. Because of this, I think it would be more proper - or, ahem, pwoper - for everyone who would like to be part of our cozy little Muse family to meet up before queueing (sp?).

So for anyone who wants to be a part of the squishy fluffy wholesomeness that will be (hopefully) our big Raleigh Muse family, say so. It would be highly optimal to meet up before getting in line, so we don't piss off fans behind us by letting people cut in and join us all day. A few stragglers would be okay, it's no big deal if one or two people discreetly join in. As Jenipuh put it, if there were enough of us, we could pretend we're at a real Muse show. As opposed to being three and a half of us drowning in a throng of U2 fans, blatantly aware that Muse is just the opener *sniff*

So speak up if you're interested and we'll firm up an official plan type thing. I want to see all of your smiling shining faces in Raleigh. Big groups are more noticeable, and the more people Muse notice, the more they'll be inclined to spend time in the states. This is highly desirable.

So far, the wholesome group is:
Jenipuh
Barnaby


Give a holler if you'd like to meet up with the awesomeness. Strength in numbers and whatnot.

[filbertfoxx]

Aww, I'd love to come over and say hello to all you lot but our flight lands at 12 and then we need to do a mad dash down from Dulles to get to will call before 7, so somehow I don't think I'll get there in time :( (I'm giving myself 3 hours to get through immigration 'cos I always get pulled over and get interrogated :$ )

Dude, where on earth are you coming from? Immigration, airplanes...that's what I call dedication!

In the event that you get there and get your tickets from will call before the gates open, if there aren't too many of you I'd be glad to let you jump the line and stick with the group. If it's possible to have some sort of sign or poster inside reading "MUSE FANS HERE", I'll do that and hope maybe you can push your way through to us, yeah? I'd love to see you there:happy:

[filbertfoxx]

Hehe! We are coming over from England - thank heavens for air miles ;)

Will drape myself in a Union Jack flag and look for you all, but I would have to politely decline your offer of queue jumping as it's just not the British way, old chap. (plus we are seated so no need to stand in teh GA line) :LOL:

[plastic passion]

Well I'm sure myself and aznaryl and her mom would like to join in the meetup. I do agree with meeting up in the parking lot beforehand. Are we throwing around times? 9am or earlier?

[syzygy]

I want to go so bad!! This rant is going to make me sound like a spoiled brat, but I AM for Muse!!

Okay, so I live near Charlotte, and the concert's in Raleigh. People are flying to a different COUNTRY to see Muse, and my stupid rents probably aren't going to let me go because a/it's two hours away b/the tix are expensive c/its at a college stadium d/i have no other muse fan friends (although this discussion mayy help me convince them) e/Muse may not come here during their Resistance tour and I don't want to miss that, so I want to fly wherever's closest to that.

Anyone have good bribes for the rents? What about good links to cheap (real) tickets? Or if there's going to be a lot of college people there 'getting it on'? OR even if you think they'll come here soon. Goodness I'm such a mess! I'm reading about all of you going and I'm tearing up because I'm missing my chance!

If I do get to go, then I would LOVE to get together with Musers. My mom's hardcore so she said she would like to take me, but my stupid father and brother butted in saying that it's two hours away, expensive, and theres college people there. But it's MUSE

gahh anyone?

Are you sure they're real tickets :erm:

[syzygy]

Approx. how much are GA tickets?

[plastic passion]

Approx. how much are GA tickets?

I think they were around $50 or so through ticketmaster but now $100+.
I heard you can walk up and down the GA line and ask for extra tickets and usually find people with spares. But I guess that is big risk after driving 2 hours.
www.ezticketsearch.com has some for $105 and I have used that site multiple times.
Stubhub.com has some from $99.

btw - u2 crowds are generally older. Maybe 40's and lots of families come together.
How old are you? You will be with your mom so that is safe right?
These people brought their kids.

darn I missed the 50 ones. I think I'll just be better off getting seats :(
thank you! I'll look into that!

Hmm...thank you! I'm 15 (the sucky age haha not being able to drive yet!) thanks so much! I have some serious sucking up to do :LOL:

[Ragoo]

Check U2.com, fans selling GA/seating tickets at face value. Check out interference.com as well. No need to buy off scalpers.

The U2 crowd would be a lot more mature than Muse gig-goers, no ignorant pushing, people respect your space etc.

I'm slightly kidding. If they decide to do the numbering I hope it is fair for everyone not like Cure fans.:mad:

I'm going to look for an email to the stadium and figure out if we can even park before 10am. If we do lineup early hope there are bathrooms around!
Also I'll post a photo of the pit later so we can decide who wants to go where.

[aznaryl]

If we're already lined up by 9am, I think I'm bringing a sleeping bag :stunned:

[Jenipuh]

myyy goodnessss. i just hope the weather cooperates. that's all.

[syzygy]

Do you guys think I should keep waiting for GA tickets or just buy $50 seat tickets? If I'm going to go that is.

[gordyh1]

Are you sure they're real tickets :erm:
yeh thats what i though at first. but i bought the tickets and they are real. they are ticketmaster tickets.
i did all the tests they say on the internet to check if they are real (may not be reliable) but they are definetley real.
i recently bought tickets to a carolina hurricanes game on this website and they were real so i expect them all to be real.
the tickets are also sent by fedex if it makes a difference to you.

Wow! THanks! :D This is a really good deal! Not the best seats, but it's still Muse!

[Jenipuh]

for your first muse show? i would say wait for GA. seats just don't cut it for a lot of people, myself included. i got 2 GA tickets on ebay the other day for $220 -- kinda pricey, but i needed tickets before booking my flight. also it seems like this date isn't as popular as some of the others so i'm sure you can find them for cheaper as the show nears!

[baileypup97]

I'm going to the show. I like U2 a lot and have for a number of years, but Muse is the reason I'm attending. This will be the first time I've seen them live and I am SO excited. I have GA tickets and plan to arrive early. I understand that to get into the "inner circle" of the stage you have to 1) arrive early and 2) run like hell....

[Barnaby]

Good point. Hrm. I've never been to this place, so I have no idea what's what. For starters, as far as bathrooms go I'm sure there will be something around. If not, in the past I've done it where someone holds my place in line and I drive to the nearest fast food place/starbucks/place w. restroom.

I also am wondering about parking...I've been to shows where if they didn't want people lining up until 10, they wouldn't open the parking lot until 9:30.

Unless we can find out something definite, I would propose exchanging cell #s beforehand and everybody just try to get the best place in line whenever we're allowed to lineup and whoever gets in line first the rest can join them? I hate to do that, the line skipping thing, but if there are only a handful of us it wouldn't be a huge deal, right? I can't count the number of times I've seen that and nobody's thrown a fit over it or anything.

If we're already lined up by 9am, I think I'm bringing a sleeping bag

Good thinking. Some of the best naps I've ever had have been on the concrete outside of venues. :happy:

[aznaryl]

I swear I'm going to end up stressed ALL day, with where I'm going to end up standing :( . Exchange in cell #'s is probably the best idea.

[Barnaby]

Dude. Pre-show jitters. Ugh. I always get soooo stressed leading up to big shows. But like I said, strength in numbers. I we end up in a crap spot, we can plow through all the masses of 40 yr. old U2 fans with all kinds of fire and RAWR! to get standing were we want. Afterall, together we're invincible:p

[illumina]

New member on the forums here, fairly long time Muse fan though. I'll be going to the concert with my fiance and another couple, so four people in total. I have four GA tickets. Third time seeing them in concert, pretty excited. Coming from Johnson City, TN, which is about 4.5 hours away. I assume we'll be arriving around 3pm, which is pretty late I know. If any of you guys want to meet up, just let me know.

I think what's going to happen is those who can and want to be there early to wait in line together will do that, and I am kind of thinking it would be cool to sort of decide on a general area of the floor and tell people who are arriving later to try and make their way to said spot once in. Although I'm hearing there's an inner circle type thing that fills up quick, I'm don't know how easy it is to get into that once it fills up. But I really don't know squat about the venue, so it's all rather up in the air. Some of us are thinking to exchange cell #s and do lots of massive calling and texting to try and herd everybody into one spot.

Tennesse for the win :D I love that place.

[plastic passion]

The inner circle doesnt usually fill up until right before showtime. So those who come in later in the evening can get in.
I think it doesnt fill up as fast because a lot of people don't know how to get in. You have to run to the back of the stage to enter it.

btw - the stage is over 9 ft high. I think I said over 6 ft before. I wasn't wrong just 3 feet off!

[plastic passion]

http://www.gopack.com/ViewContent.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=9200&CONTENT_ID=98694

This says parking doesnt open until 3pm and gates into the stadium at 530pm.

Have you been there before? It sounds like you're the person to follow for those looking to get into the inner circle.

Dont follow me I'm slow. aznaryl will agree!
Nope never been to the current u2 tour but I have watched some youtube videos of people running to the inner circle.

[Ragoo]

There are 2 entrances btw, one on Adam's side and the other on Edge's. And remember that they are at the back of the stage.

[aznaryl]

Dont follow me I'm slow. aznaryl will agree!

Hey,
I would be interested in a meetup also. Just got back from the concert in Giants stadium in New Jersey. Awesome performance by Muse, though very short. Not too many people in the stands, which kind of sucked. The inner pit was full for their concert, but I also think the inner circle was only for the red zone people (though I am not positive). I was unable to get GA tix for NYC concert, but was able to for Raleigh, so I am super excited. Keep us posted on details for a meetup. Thanks.

[aznaryl]

Hey,

I don't think it's only for the red zone people, they have a specific area they stand in, in between the outer and inner circle i think?

[pkfanatic]

I will take a look at my pics when I can get to my other computer and see if I can decipher how it was set up.

[gordyh1]

Wow! THanks! :D This is a really good deal! Not the best seats, but it's still Muse!
no problem :)

[syzygy]

Hmm...should I go see Muse in Raleigh with not the best seats or go see my brother in college when I'm going to see him in a few weeks? :stunned:

[aznaryl]

Muse! :D
I wish i would have taken advantage and seen them more when i had the chance instead of just settling on 1 show or 2.
You'll regret the experience!
I saw Muse at Wembley two years ago with not so good seats but I still had fun jamming out!

[Jenipuh]

i ended up going to the show at giants stadium on the 24th. it was a last minute decision because i was in nyc anyway with a friend. we got there around 5ish and the line was suuuuper long. the problem was, it was just a huge mass of people spread across 5 or 6 gates waiting to get patted down and searched. i don't know how the raleigh venue works, but if it's the same then there's really no way to keep everyone in proper order. so i don't know how the line is going to work or if it's even worth showing up early just to get screwed out of your spot once everyone crowds in.

i was about 8 or 9 people back in the inner circle in front of chris and i had no problems seeing. i would have preferred to be even closer. the entrance to the inner circle is close to the back of the stage so you have to follow the outside edges to get to it. i didn't participate in the mad dash after getting my ticket scanned, but it definitely looked dangerous!

[syzygy]

Muse! :D

:LOL: I would much rather go to see Muse! Because we're going to see my brother the 26th anyway! But my rentals are expecting me to say go see my brother so I'm hoping he's busy that weekend so I don't have to guilt my way out of it :D

[DreamOutLoud]

I don't think it's only for the red zone people, they have a specific area they stand in, in between the outer and inner circle i think?

the inner circle is for anyone who has a GA ticket and is not RED ZONE. RZ sections are on the sides of the stage, there is a RZ1 and RZ2. To get RZ tix you have to have won the auctions that were being run on ticketmaster.

[danjcpa]

Hey, I wanted to get an idea of how many Muse fans would be at the Raleigh show. I would assume that it may be less than New York, but perhaps the fact that the Raleigh show is located in a college town might bode well for Muse fans showing up. The videos of the NY concerts didn't seem awe-inspiring in terms of fan participation (jumping up and down/singing with the band). I guess this is to be expected as it is a U2 concert.

Additionally I had 2 friends bail out on me. So I have two additional GA tickets if anyone wants them (at face value of course). I'll be at the concert early, so if you want them we can do the transaction face to face at the venue. I would definitely prefer a Muse fan to make sure more people are jumping during the show. Email me at dannyjcpa@gmail.com if you are interested.

[Dancha2]

We're long time U2 fans and could have easily seen them in Foxboro, MA. When we saw Muse would be opening some shows in the US, we immediately bought the tickets and booked the flights! Excited to see U2, ECSTATIC to see Muse! Maybe if there are just a few of us Muse fans in CFS, Muse would be willing to have a section designated for us. We can only wish! Enjoy everyone!

[plastic passion]

So gates to park don't open until 3pm but we can line up at 10am. So where are we supposed to park in the a.m??

Now the gopack.com/u2 page is saying no cameras and no alcoholic beverages.
Boooo on the cameras and good for no drunks.

btw anyone sticking around for u2? We are but kind of scared to be jammed in the inner circle during their set.

[danjcpa]

I think you will be ok if you bring a camera to the event. Every show of the U2 tour so far fans have been able to bring in high definition video cameras. I even saw one guy with a tripod at his seat. So i don't think you will have a problem getting a camera into the show. I am definitely staying for U2 (even though I am coming for Muse). U2 are one of the biggest bands in the world, and always have very interesting concepts/lights/effects during their shows. Their last few albums kinda blow, but it my opinion Achtung baby is one of the all time great albums.

My sis loves u2 and we went to a show on their popmart tour and I was impressed with their set.
As for cameras I know u2 allow them and the gopack site just added the no cameras within the last few days. Mine is kind of bulky so I got nervous.

[pkfanatic]

At Giants stadium, they were announcing "no cameras or recording devices allowed in giants stadium", but clearly they were letting people in with cameras. I am planning on bringing mine...

[baileypup97]

I just talked with a guy who works for the fairgrounds (right next to the stadium). Even though stadium parking doesn't open until 3, apparently you can park at the fairgrounds any time. So my friend and I are gonna try and get there around 9 and walk over to the stadium. If they won't let us in, we'll go get breakfast or something.

And geeky tho it may be, I'm probably gonna be wearing some Muse apparel to show why I'm really there. Generally I don't do that sort of thing, but then again generally I don't go to stadium shows either. The things we do for Muse....

[plastic passion]

Thanks baileypup for the info. I was curious about the parking situation. Will it be a far walk from the fairgrounds to the stadium?

Dancha2 - do you have GA tickets or seats?

They just showed crew putting up U2's stage on the news. :) I know I'm going to be sad when the night rolls around and I'm not there to support Muse.

Edit: Considering they are in DC tomorrow, not sure what exactly is being put up at Carter-Finley. I guess they are just making some sort of preparation since the actual stage couldn't possibly be there yet. lol

They have more than one stage because it takes more than 2 days to put it up. Crazy.

I still don't know if I'm going or not, but if I end up not going would someone buy me a T-Shirt? I would of course pay you for it, but I've never bought anything from the boards before so I'm a newbie at this.

You could always wait til they do their own US tour in the spring, there is a chance the prices might drop a bit when they are solo. :)

Hey Everyone! I'm really excited to see Muse/U2 again live!! * (Saw Muse in 2007 and U2 2001)...

Hey, I still have family that live near W-S. :)
I hope there is no rain and if it does, it's just small showers. I'm not sure what would happen if there was a bad thunderstorm, surely they can't perform in that? I guess they would have to delay or something?

The parking thing sounds like a win. I haven't been able to decide on an arrival time on account of the parking lot not opening til later in the day, but if there's parking across the street that'd be awesome. Thanks for the info :)

[tvchild]

I am wearing a Muse shirt too (and I have NEVER worn the shirt of the band I am seeing AT the show I am watching)...this time I am making an exception.

You won't be alone! :) We should all look out for all of us in gear. lol We will be easy to spot.

Security can be kind of iffy with parking etc...(most are off duty cops or HP officers) but I say try anyway over at the fairgrounds. It is literally across the street from parking. They won't start messing with traffic patterns until about noon (people will get there and line up in their cars to get in and wait until 3pm to pile into the parking lot). Tailgating is a must at Carter Finley pre-concert or anything.

Also let me leave you with "Gate F is your friend".

:) Terri

[tvchild]

Also they will shut the show down if there is close lightening.

But only for lightening (and per artist requirements).

Jimmy Buffet played there in a continuous downpour until the stage started flooding and it got dangerous. Then they pulled the plug.

Hopefully nothing will happen.

There is also a sound and light ordinance within city limits that prohibits concerts going past 11pm...but I have been to many shows here and at Walnut Creek where they have delayed and in weird circumstances even got permission from the Governor's Office to play past midnight due to a bad weather situation. That was for Steve Miller at Walnut Creek...so I am sure Muse/U2 would qualify. :)

[baileypup97]

The fairgrounds are right next to the stadium. It will be a little bit of a hike, but not much further than if you ended up at the back of the parking lot!

I called because they provided a number in case you were planning to camp out. I'm not doing that, but I have to figure we can get into the grounds early... I'll probably be there around 9 or 10 to at least try it!

FYI, here's the link to the info: http://www.gopack.com/ViewContent.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=9200&CONTENT_ID=98694

Here's hoping for a cool sunny day on Saturday -- it's gonna be a long one!

I'll be there. I've been checking the weather constantly for the past few days, and the forecast has changed from storms to showers. I really hope it doesn't rain. There's currently a 40% chance, though.

[jen_knifer]

I'm new to North Carolina (came here for school) and thought I'd never be able to watch a great gig ever again!

Anyway, I read the Ticketmaster alert too and think that $20 is ridiculous for the parking fee. I'm originally from Los Angeles and I expect to pay that sort of price, but surely not in North Carolina?

Anyone have any alternative parking suggestions?

Hi there, where do you go to school?

If you scroll back a page or two, someone posted about parking at the fair grounds next to the stadium.

[tvchild]

They will charge you at the entrances before you even get to the parking lots. The Fair Grounds AND Stadium parking are all together...they are right beside each other...there are several streets around the fairgrounds and RBC Center (next door) and Carter Finley is right in the middle of both of these. Be CAREFUL parking on these side streets...our HP's are relentless for towing cars, etc. around this area. I have been here my whole life and NEVER had to pay more than $10 for a space at any show anywhere...they are REALLY just trying to capitalize on the attendees this time.

[rufygirl]

I know but they may not come near NC on their US tour. Do you think someone'll sell TShirts on Ebay? :unsure: I'll pay full price for one!

[Jenipuh]

are GA-ers still meeting up? i'm re-thinking the whole 'get there in the morning' thing because of pictures i've seen of the various lines and my own experience at giants stadium. i'd rather get there near door time and be happy about getting close than get there super early and be pissed because people cut/security people are slow/etc. BUT i still like the idea of a big group of musers in the pit! what's everyone else doing?

and no alcohol in the stadium? how is the venue going to make money?!

[plastic passion]

Also let me leave you with "Gate F is your friend".

:) Terri

what does that mean?

The fairgrounds is having a hunter jumper horse show starting at 8am.
So it might be busy over there.

jenipuh - I hope we are still meeting up. It will be nice to be around other Muse fans so we can get excited together. Would feel weird being in the crowd and just 3 of us cheering.
If it is raining hard in the morning I might wait it out...but we plan on getting there early. I think.

i still think a meetup would be fantastic. i feel the earlier the better, but if people would rather wait til closer to door time, that's cool, too. the 'gate f is your friend' thing and entrance to the inner circle thing have me anxious and hoping i can at least be lost and disoriented with fellow musers. if anyone wants to exchange cells or anything pm me and we can do all that :)

I am still up for a meetup...

[cestamusante]

My daughter and i are going and staying in a nearby hotel. I am so excited to see Muse, after I missed them for their other tours that have come through! I've been a fan since Absolution. We have seats for the show, so we probably won't make it down to the floor, hope it's not too far from the stage...
We're driving up from Spartanburg, SC on Saturday. I WILL be wearing my Muse t-shirt, and I too hope there will be lots of us there!

[tvchild]

Gate F is the best way to enter in for parking, but after looking at the map...I see that they are calling that a different gate...so I am now not even sure if they are going to open that entrance up...not trying to be evasive...trying to be helpful.

They also won't allow and banners, signs or large flags in and they will take them...experienced that myself.

[aznaryl]

two more days!! :D

[plastic passion]

two more days!! :D

Just thinking of the driving up there and waiting in line and running to a good spot and standing for another 6 hours in the pit is making me tired already!
I'm too old for this. :LOL:
But it will be fun!

[gordyh1]

Have a safe flight!


I wish I was going now so I could meet fellow Musers :)
kl. im going and im scottish.
ill have a look out for it.

[plastic passion]

Ticketmaster has GA tickets now. Annoying seeing we bought ours through stubhub. boo.

[gordyh1]

I'm leaving England in a bit, so hopefully see you guys over there on Saturday :D

(yes I have packed my union jack flag!)
have a good flight.
im scottish and im also going. i'll have a look out for the flag.

[Problematique MX]

Well... the question as always: Who is going to be tweeting from there? :D

So I can start following since now! :happy:

[ElementAI]

$20 per car to park at the stadium!!! Are they Joking.

Anyway where is the Meet up and the Tailgating happening.
I really Wish Muse was the Headliner or I was seeing them in the UK with a crowd like was at Wembley for HAARP.

Must make the best of it. We will be there early and sporting the Muse T-Shirt and a New Zealand Hei Matau WhaleBone Fishhook. Wife and I are stoked but our Seats are nosebleed and wish we were in the Pit for the Guys set. Any help on the Parking situation or other Venue ideas would be great as we don't have much time left. E:)

[Jenipuh]

have pit people decided where they're headed once gates open? i'm full of anxiety about the line. :( good news is rain is no longer on the books for saturday!

[filbertfoxx]

have a good flight.
im scottish and im also going. i'll have a look out for the flag.

Excellent! Are you flying over from Scotland or are you a US resident? I've got a Scottish surname although I am actually half French :$

Just read that no flags are allowed, so not sure if they will let my little union jack in or not - maybe I'l just have to smuggle it in :LOL:

Just heading over to Raleigh now 'cos customs didn't detain me for once, so hope to see you all in the queue tomorrow :)

[LBJFlight23]

[Sofiya]

I'll be there tomorrow. I'll be tweeting as beccar00.

[tvchild]

I posted some stuff on pgs 8/9 about parking, etc.others have too. Our officers can be VERY testy with parking at this stadium and are eager to tow...so just be careful. Yes...NC is trying to price gouge for parking...it's totally ridiculous.

If it's not Scottish...it's CRAP! lol

I think it's awesome so many people are coming from overseas!

:)Terri

i am now a us resident. i just recently moved over here.
i will bring binoculars then for the flag. lol.
will c u in line.

[syzygy]

Gar. Turns out I'm not going :'( but I've made a deal with my parents the next time Muse comes near us during thier headlining tour, they're taking me. (Or I'll walk :LOL: )

and I'm probably annoying you guys by now, but I have to try one more time:
would one of you that is going buy me a shirt and I pay you back full price? And even shipping if you live far away from me. I really would like a shirt saying all of the US dates, but I've never bought anything over forums before, so you'll have to be patient and tell me exactly what to do. Or if you know a website where someone's selling shirts for this tour? Or the tour they did with MCR in 2007? I suppose I can try ebay after they leave but I really want one. You can PM me here or email me at theresistancemuse@rocketmail.com . and the reason why I wanto ne this tour is because they probably won't come to NC again until the next couple of years. So anyone? Please? :supersad: :$

[filbertfoxx]

:eek::eek:You're 'over there'! Oh lucky you!:D


Hi Pip, yes I am over here - thanks to a combination of airmiles and epic credit card fail :$ :LOL:

Lucky you! Just working on the flag now (painting a logo on it) so will be waving it around tomorrow ;) It's quite humid and cloudy here at the minute and is threatening rain for tomorrow, so I can use my flag as a rain poncho :yesey:

They will probably be closed by the time I get out

[Dancha2]

Thanks baileypup for the info. I was curious about the parking situation. Will it be a far walk from the fairgrounds to the stadium?

Dancha2 - do you have GA tickets or seats?
We have tickets in Section 2

[syzygy]

[filbertfoxx]

We just had a walk around and saw 1 Muse shirt too :) Went to willcall and my tickets weren't there - they had to get someone from the U2 crew to sort them out - talk about a heart stopping moment:eek:

The stadium is pretty small and the stage takes up a fair part of the pitch so I think everyone will get a really good view. Tickets are on sale for $30 at the minute.

There's some kind of horse fair going on across the road so I hope they have all gone home before 7pm otherwise they will all get the shock of their horsey lives :D

Maybe that would give Matt more ideas about the "going onstage on horseback" like he was suggesting in an interview :D

[Exoval]

[hatten]

After a 7 hour delay in st Louis I cannot believe I'm going to miss them. Gridlock on whatever highway from the airport. I guess my only hipe is they start VERY late.

[Clunge]

Here's hoping they slip a Showbiz track in to mark 10 years.

That said, if it was to be any Showbiz track, it would have been Sunburn and as there is apparantly no piano out tonight, s'not gonna happen.

[Exoval]

Well they'd probably do that if in Europe, but in US not sure they will, not many people in stadium would understand why I suppose!!! (as they might not have received the 10 years message)!!!

[CarrieB]

So no USoE then?! I thought that was a core track. Are they not coming on for another 30 minutes?

[Exoval]

Intro
Uprising
