[Aziraphale]

[Nattywba]

[C1T1Z3N ERASED]

[L.]

Ahhh thank you Laure!!! Sorry for not knowing your actual name :$ :LOL: I now have a standing ticket wooooooo!! :happy:

[Nattywba]

:D No more sitting alone! Standing wooooo! Hahah!

[leetroot]

those of you seated "behind" the stage should have a a good view except when the risers go up and down as there was nothing high behind the stage. i was in line with stage on Chris's side at stockholm and when the risers went up, i couldn't see matt at all. he was either hidden on top of his, or hidden by the others. he did come over to our side for a rock out though :D.

there's someone video here which shows you the set up pretty well.

[Twonkie]

We'll dry off inside :LOL:

[Mr Chrisps]

Although I have been reading things on this forum for ages, I have only just signed up as of five minutes ago.

Myself, and two other friends, who happen to be my band mates will be going to this gig, we are all major muse fans, and it will be an amazing night i'm sure. Standing all the way. :p

[x-Muse-x]

Hi.. so does anyone know the seating plans/ stage set up yet? I'v been reading the threads of it, but no one has said anything definite...
If you go on the arena website it has the seating plan...

http://www.sheffieldarena.co.uk/Booking%20Information/Seating%20Plan/Muse%20Seating%20Plan/

so do you reckon it'll be just the normal end stage??? After all the center stage talk, it's a bit disappointing i think.. but im sure they'll have something amazing lined up :LOL:

Thankss

[Katieejordan]

seeing as i am right at the back i thought i would be close cause i thought they were in the middle, so are they at the front now? Now i will be far away .. :( oooo. Im still happy that i will get to see them though :-)

[Twonkie]

Is that the seating plan?
Fuck me I'm closer than I thought! Block 202! Jesus, yey!

[bunerz]

206, hell yeah!

Thankss

the stage is semi circular at the front instead of straight across. the seats alongside the stage and slightly "behind" were sold when they would normally be left empty.

those of you seated "behind" the stage should have a a good view except when the risers go up and down as there was nothing high behind the stage.

i was in line with stage on Chris's side at stockholm and when the risers went up, i couldn't see matt at all. he was either hidden on top of his, or hidden by the others. he did come over to our side for a rock out though .
there's someone video here that someone took from further along and higher up which shows you the set up pretty well. obviously the set may change slightly for the bigger arenas but it gives a good idea.

[Twonkie]

Actually that's really helpful, thanks!
So that means I'll be on...Chris' side, nice! Will be nice to see the man properly. My view at Earls Court when I last saw them was awful, was constantly watching the screen whilst little flea-sized Matt and Chris bopped about.
So does that mean the people at the top get a little more 'personal' with the band since the lads on top of the structures?

[leetroot]

So does that mean the people at the top get a little more 'personal' with the band since the lads on top of the structures?

you could say that!
check out the guy's/girl's other videos on that youtube link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OETcnHioE1c&feature=channel

this one shows the effect of the risers and matt's missing head! :LOL:

[Twonkie]

Ooo yeah I see it now :LOL:
I hope I don't get a headless Matt when I see them :chuckle:

[Katieejordan]

So if i'm at block 208, does this mean i will be closer...? :stunned:

[Twonkie]

Unfortunately...no.

[Katieejordan]

ohhhh:erm::(

[Katieejordan]

well im still pleased im going :D, alot of my friends couldn't get tickets cause of those ebay people who buy them and sell them at a ridiculous price :(

[leetroot]

i'm getting very excited about this gig now :D i thought stockholm was totally awesome.
never been to sheffield so this'll be another new place introduced to me by Muse :LOL:

[adam.dullenty]

Panic stations over - booked half day off work and a hotel. sorted. now... anyone know if there's a bus from town to the arena? :D

BTW - I *may* have two spare standing tickets going spare for this, more likely than not anyway. if you're looking for some, email me at my username @gmail.com :)

What you want to do is get the Supertram from the city centre to the arena.

[adam.dullenty]

Cheers - will do!

[Mistress]

On Matt's side :D

[BeckyBliss]

Time's everyone starting to queue?

[Half Life]

:D A week today :D
:dance::dance::dance::dance:

I always find gigs seem ages away then rush up! :eek:

We're in Block 115 because my bf didn't want to stand. :facepalm: I've often been in the equivalent of Block 119 or 120. You miss out on some of the stage show but you're sooooo close.

I've got to drive up from Oxfordshire that afternoon, so the M1 had better behave. :indiff:

[L.]

Sheffield gig is gonna be super special for me... I was at the Sheffield arena back in march for an exhibition walking around thinking that it would be great to see muse there. Got back to my hotel that night and turned on my computer to find the announcement about the UK autumn tour :eek:

And next week the daydreaming comes true: I'm seeing muse at the Sheffield arena :D

[bILLOO]

Less that a week now guys! :awesome:

*Has sudden panic about the location of the tickets*

That reminds me, I haven't received my Brum ones yet, but they are standing. :stunned: It prevents the post-gig blues when there's another one a few days later. :)

[Aziraphale]

I've been to sheffield for a few gigs now, this is my second time for muse. The entire place just explodes when they play, its a fantastic experience! I CANT WAIT!!!:pimp:

Still waiting for an offer of a lift from hull though... :P

[olliemuse]

If we need a Tweeter for this gig i'll quite happily do it :) Going seeing them in Liverpool aswell so I dont mind :) www.twitter.com/Olliemusedale

[*OoS*]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH next week!!!!!!!!

So, I know I keep on bringing this up but I reckon we should have a meet place for before/after - I suggest the Arena Square pub (Table Table) across the roundabout from the Arena - it's across the road from the Etap hotel where most people are staying and it's a nice little pub... people often go and have a drink in there after an event so the Arena car park has to time to empty.

If people want my number then PM me - I've already arranged to meet with a couple of people but it'd be nice to get as many boardies as possible. Obviously I realise the barrier peeps that queue from 6am can't meet but before but after getting crushed to death at V I've decided to do seating from now on so I can amble along whenever :D

We'll need to sort out times as well, be nice ot have some tea or lunch beforehand, few drinks and spaff lol xxx

[Tom!]

Not long to go now :) I saw in another thread people mentioned chanting MK Ultra during the encore to get them to do it, we should definitely try this. Being the first UK night and all they might just give in.

I'm seated in block 206 by the way :D

[Phil.]

curse you all with your 6 day sooner gig than me!! *shakes fist*

Nice, if you see someone chanting MK Ultra towards the end then that will probably be me :D Join in!

[bunerz]

Nice, if you see someone chanting MK Ultra towards the end then that will probably be me :D Join in!

Definitely!- hopefully between us we can get the whole block chanting in unison :D

[mscbuck]

I'm so excited for this. I'm an American currently studying abroad in Bristol in the UK and I"ve been trying for weeks to try and get tickets to see Muse, regardless of where they are playing. They've been #1 on my list to see for what seems like whatever now, and I'm so excited that it'll be this Wednesday that I can finally do it! WOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm getting in from the train at around 3PM on that Wednesday. I don't care about getting right up front obviously, but would you recommend that I pretty much line up right away or will I still have time to get some food/drink before hand? (Side question, do they have an opener?)

[Judderman]

Ive been a bit disconnected as ofrecent.... Who is supporting?

[BeckyBliss]

[bILLOO]

Oooooh, can you possible get alcoholic milkshakes :LOL: Bailey's flavoured :D

[x-Muse-x]

Will see what everyone elses plans are ok. Dont think I'll do any stalking, it's very unlikely they'll meet fans outside during the UK gigs mind :(


Don't you think?? :( :( I was thinking of waiting for a bit but i don't know now. Did they come out after on the last UK tour??

[Twonkie]

Would be nice but it depends if they're going stright to their next gig I think. And it also depends on how many people are actually going to do there, if there is loads I think they'll maybe make and break.

[Davey]

I had just turned 14 when I went to see them! I'm now almost 20, go figues :p
I already know what I'm wearing to the gig; simple t-shirt and jeans. But I have this lovely, if unusual dress I wanna wear but I'm having second thoughts about it.

[MandyNau]

Tell me about it...I only have two days in work this week (thank god!) and I know they'll be shite, ha ha!

New camera? What sort is it? I'll have more meet pictures than gig, I think :D

Bought myself a Lumix TZ6. :happy: Still trying to get used it it, loved my hold canon so much that its gonna have to be very good to replace it! Guess we'll see soon, specially with its 12X zoom :D

Sorry I was off. Would have probably just been a local mast tho, not much you can do :(

Awww well I think you'll really love it :D

Yeah I was torn between either just casual jeans and t-shirt or dressing up for the occasion...may depend on the weather tho :P

Well I just checked BBC weather site and it says heavy rain for Wednesday, thats the dressing up idea out of the window :LOL:

Ah bollocks! Suppose I could always bring an Umberella with me, just in case.
The weather won't stop me for looking nice *shakes fists at sky*.

Sounds good :D I hope it's a good replacement! Back to the shop otherwise, ha ha! :LOL:

I thought about you when it died...I bet they were inundated with calls from people (on landlines!) last night. I felt like I'd lost an arm when it went off, mind you!

I think I'm doing jeans both nights I'm going. Though it would be nice to dress up on the Thursday for my birthday, I can't really be arsed, and I really wouldn't know what to bloody wear anyway!

[blissfullymuse]

im arriving at around 12ish for queuing (depends if i still have a reservation for the etap)

I'll pop down and say hi :happy: txt me if you need food or drink lol

Sounds like the Arena Square pub is the place to be! Hopefully I'll get to see you again :kiss:

Yay!!!! Defo want to see you again hun :kiss:

Yep, Arena Square pub! Not sure what time tho? Don't wanna start drinking too early either and be tipsy for the gig:$

:happy: Ok well if i pm you my number could you let me know times?

[Twonkie]

:dance:
This time Wednesday we'll all be in Sheffield having a drink and waiting to see the lads!

[leetroot]

i'm coming with a friend who is curious to see why i like muse. he's not into rock or loud and thinks his ears will bleed due to the evil vile music :LOL:
i'm going to have a good time though - at least there will be room to leap about this time :D

[BeckyBliss]

So is it 2 days now? :p

[Twonkie]

[Davey]

....Shit! I haven't printed out my coach ticket! :facepalm: And my print is being a little bitch, fan-bloody-tastic :mad:

[butterfliesallhavinfun]

Got my concert tickets, train tickets and hotel confirmation all ready to go, roll on 12.10p.m on Wednesday when we set of for Sheffield :D

[Twonkie]

Am I the only person setting off at half 9? :chuckle:

[mikethemuse]

3...days :eek:
I'm planning on getting there for about 5ish, mad run to the front, then get merch after the gig or online. Is there any merch that is gig specific, (other than the hexagon with sheffield on the back) which we can't get online?

[Twonkie]

I think as soon as I get a taxi to the hotel I'm gunna have a sleep because no matter how much I try to sleep on the coach I never can.

[Twonkie]

Oh good! It's a good job I like travelling so much!

[pluginbaby410]

did you all know?

its only 2 days
21 hours
10 minutes
15seconds

till muse are on stage?

:D :D :D

[eran]

Hi,

I'll be coming to the concert from London - and have to make it back to London the same night. Is anyone planning on driving to the concert from London and would not mind taking me with them?
Of course, I'll participate in the cost of the fuel & parking.

[Half Life]

C'mon, they're always 15 minues late. ;)

Not looking forward to the long drive up North. My bf's lecture doesn't finish until 1 so I can't pick him up until then. Then wrestle with the roads. :mad:

I'd love to meet up with you lot, but I have no idea how long it's going to take - Teignmouth was supposed to be 3.5 hours and ended up 6.5, and it's an even longer distance. :eek:

im planning on getting there at 4-half 4 ish, id like to be quite near to the front! i dont think itll happen... you will find me in the queue ;)

[James.]

Several hours queuing in the rain. :eek:
Will be worth it in the end though.

[Half Life]

I've got seated tickets, but I hate to be scrambling in at the last minute, especially since we've got to check in at the hotel and walk the best part of a mile (probably in the pouring rain).

ohhhhhh thats all bad news then... luckily for me, i live in doncaster (only time ill ever say that sentence ;) ) so less than an hour for me so im just going from home!

[BlackHawkSMRN]

Am I the only person setting off at half 9? :chuckle:

nope im setting off at 9 :P

[pluginbaby410]

nope im setting off at 9 :P

so tempted, i have college tho but surely worth a day off? :P im going to queue alone tho because my friends at work... so id have to make new friends :P xx

[Half Life]

And now it's Monday, so that's definitely only 2 days to go. :D

[butterfliesallhavinfun]

Am I the only person setting off at half 9? :chuckle:

Will be in Sheffield by 1p.m, short journey by train from Scunthorpe :D
Book straight into hotel(if they let us do it early, not paying the extra)get some food then a couple of drinks :D

[MandyNau]

Just got this from sheffield arena website:

Timings for Muse are as follows (timings are intended as a guide only and may be subject to change):

6.30pm Doors Open
7.30pm Support
8.05 pm Muse
10.30pm Event ends




Somehow I really can't see it being 2 1/2 hours for Muse and only 20 mins for support (given the fact they will take atleast 15 mins inbetween) :stunned:...I wish :LOL:

[LittleBeckii]

2 Days to Go!!

I hope the traffic's not too bad on the night, we can't set off until about 6-ish because of work and that :/ I only live in Donny though, plus I'm in seating, so it shouldn't be too bad :D
God I really need to stop getting excited and start revising for my French and Maths exams :LOL: Why does everything pile up around the same date?? xD

[Dirty K]

I have the same issue, not taking anything in at the moment and just imagining the immensity of wednesday, meanwhile i should revise for 4th yr vet exams oh well

[musingowl]

I must say I am getting a little exited now :D
plus it'll be the first time I see Muse in my home city (wasn't a fan in 2006:$ ) or anywhere remotely near me as I've pissed about travelling everywhere for my previous 2 encounters with Mr Bellamy & co, also my first indoor gig with them but I doubt the fact that i chose end block seating rather than standing will diminish my enthusiasm :dance: I chose seated mainly to guarentee the best view but also you always seem to get stood next to some really posh twit young lad who is "utterly gazeboed" with his shirt off, annoying curly hair and all his friends think he's "absolutly spiffingly hillarious" because he shouts out various tv adverts catchphrases now and again in a voice that after the 6th time of him shouting it and his moron friends (who he probably paid for their ticket to go) laughing can lead to some dark thoughs going through your head :mad: so Q plenty of "GO COMPAARE" and "UP YOUR VIVA" in the toff section but not to worry I'd watch Muse in a room full of Heaton students as long as the gods themselves are onstage I'll take any rough with the smooth (as I'll have to on wednesday sitting through the big pink :noey: )
But anyway I want everyone to come to Sheffield, have a great night, unfortunately there's bugger all on in Sheffield on a Wednesday night, monday or friday Corp would have been amazing but skool disco wednesday is usually pretty dead :( but I'm sure everyone will be that buzzing still nothing will bring you down :)
so here's to Muse kicking off their UK leg in spectacular fashion :musesign:
and for anyone coming from further a field get into sheffield, buy a bottle of Hendersons relish, a Star newspaper and a Sheffield Wednesday shirt and you'll be loved by all... or me at least ;)
peace out peoples

[BobjimTheAwesome]

"utterly gazeboed"

Michael Mcintyre! :D

[musingowl]

Michael Mcintyre! :D
Yes indeed haha :D

[Madam Harkonnen]

I just sold on my seated ticket to someone who seems very happy to be going now :happy:

Looking forward to this soooo much. Arriving in Sheffield just after 9am to make a day of it, meet Jon at the Cathedral, then Mandy and Wendy and Josse and... oh god, I can't remember who else is going... stuff the band*, bring on the chums :LOL:

* only not really**

** well, maybe just a little bit /perv

[*OoS*]

Yep, Arena Square pub! Not sure what time tho? Don't wanna start drinking too early either and be tipsy for the gig:$

I'll be there with my ossum Muse fan parents from 5pm onwards :D

[bILLOO]

2 days time and we'll all be queuing! Let's hope the weather holds up. :$

***EXCITED*** (pending set list :LOL:)

[Tom!]

Will be in Sheffield by 1p.m, short journey by train from Scunthorpe :D
Book straight into hotel(if they let us do it early, not paying the extra)get some food then a couple of drinks :D

I'm from Scunthorpe...Woo! We are setting off at about half 4 but we are driving and are also seated so time isn't really a problem.

[lukester911]

Fuck, I don't know when I'm getting there, and I'm standing. Damn college. :mad:

[Katieejordan]

And of course MUSE :dance::musesign: 2 days yuhhhhhh ;)

[BeckyBliss]

Going after it'll be packed for sure... lots of crazy Muse fans buying tat :D; but I'm not sure if you can view the merchandise really early before you start to queue.

[SpiralDale]

Going to the train station and getting our train tickets at about 5:30pm

Gonna have a peek around Sheffield for a bit as we've never been before, before going to our seats

Pretty sure train tickets from Leeds to Sheffield won't "sell out", but if they did we'd be pretty screwed :LOL:

[BeckyBliss]

[bILLOO]

Haha yeah, but................. what if some of the stuff sell out or am i just been stupid and theyl have alot of merchandise haha? :LOL: :p

It might sell out... it depends if you want to get to the front of the gig or if you'd give that up to be guaranteed some Muse tat.

[- emma -]

You'll be able to get a lot of the same merch on the tinterweb, I normally get my tees at the gig but I'm thinking different this year

[Katieejordan]

[Judderman]

Haha yeah, but................. what if some of the stuff sell out or am i just been stupid and theyl have alot of merchandise haha? :LOL: :p

[Twonkie]

I'm already packing! Just tried on a few outfits; one for the gig and one for drinks afterwards and I'm taking some serious tablets after my fall the other day in the shower.
Btw, anyone want my mobile number? Found the charger...was behind the seattee :shifty:
Don't really fancy wandering around Sheffield by myself and feeling left out since I don't know anyone :facepalm:

If you stagger in with a huge bastard DSLR with mega-lens and a bag of associated gubbins, chances are you'll get it confiscated. Having said that, loads of people with nice kit seem to have no problem. Since most people have cameras on their phones, security are usually only after professional-looking gear.

Weather forecast: Wednesday day - bright, 10 C
Wednesday night - light showers, 4 C

Not too bad...

That is brave! I'm gonna wear my jeans and a hoodie :) ha :D Oh and i shall look out for the cold guy lol

[SilentGod]

What's the latest it'll finish?

Just trying to work out a timetable for train/taxi home.

Our last train out would be 11:15 and we want enough time to get to the station with a bit of leeway.

Otherwise it's hiring a car/taxi for a long journey.

[Davey]

That is brave! I'm gonna wear my jeans and a hoodie :) ha :D Oh and i shall look out for the cold guy lol

hmmm maybe a more sensible idea...but still...ill keep warm in the car and prepare the long cold wait :LOL:

[*OoS*]

The plan (for those who don't know):

Before the gig: 5pm-ish at the Arena Square pub, across the roundabout from the Arena itself and diagonal from the Etap hotel.

After: whenever people get there, I'll be going to try and meet the boys again afterwards and actually get a picture this time lol then I'll be in the pub. Meeting some boardies there already, it's the usual place people go for a drink to wait for the car park to empty lol.

If anybody wants my number PM me :)

[Mooks]

The last Muse gig in Sheffield Arena I had a camera in my bag and got checked, told not to take pictures and moved along (I was standing).
The next gig I went along I just put it in my pocket, wrapped my hoody around my waste, no search.

I'm debating wearing some sequined trainers (converse style) and also debating facepainting my ltd Edition album number on me somewhere, dunno yet. I'm still a bit nervous about going and being disappointed after all these years of following them around like a lost puppy.

Sheffield Arena's website states approximate times, 10.30pm but will probably be later. You'll be able to judge the time from when they come onstage.

First post on here, just registered considering I'm going to the Sheffield gig in 2 days lol.. long time lurker of the forums tho :)

Just a FYI, I'll be trying (maybe... maybe I'll just be enjoying myself toooooo much to remember) to update twitter (tweets only, can't do photos) during the gig so... www.twitter.com/DMTaylor90.

Now... 2 days of solid Muse in preparation :D don't know what time I'm arriving at the Arena yet, but I'm at Blue Doors.

[Xaplus]

This Wednesday I'm going to the Muse concert in Sheffield for the first time. I was wondering at what hour should I go to be in the first row or maybe the firsts ones. What about going early in the afternoon, what row would be that? Anyone with previous Muse Sheffield concerts experience can help me?
Thank you

[LordLuvitt]

The Elite Squadron will be at Sheffield wearing our flag. Look forward to seeing you all.

Well, I've never been one to queue at shows (I always get seating tickets), but from what I've seen at shows in the past, some of the die-hards tend to get to the venue early in the morning (at the Royal Albert Hall they got there the night before and queued through the night!). If you are intent on standing by the stage you might consider getting there as early as you can.

[L.]

You might want to ask in the sheffield thread

http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=61670&page=114

If you want to be at the front you should start queueing in the morning.

Try 5:30am for Teignmouth. :awesome:

[Caff]

There's probably not that much point in queuing for an insane amount of time. All the selfish people will push forward/push everyone else out of the anyway...

This is true.
Some people tried that shit in Teignmouth though, and they got an elbow or 4 in their sides.

Probably going to head up to Sheffield early on Wednesday, will be my longest time queuing since Wembley probably. Hope it stays dry outside the 'red doors' wherever they may be!

When you've been queuing for that long though you're so determined not to get pushed off the barrier that you're practically part of the barrier.

Also TOMORROW :D

[Twonkie]

Tomorrow!

[Olly.]

what time are people getting there? I shall be queuing at around 12-1pm....

I'll see what I can do, anything you prefer?
And if I can't get it to you pre-gig then I'll buy you one afterwards :p

God knows how you can que for that amount of time. I'd be pissed off and too tired by the time the band came on. My sis said they nearly got to the front when they saw Kings of Leon at the arena and that was after the band had started.
