I have a question: are we supossed to receive an email when the transaction is done? Or not? Cause I have received nothing! :stunned:

[orgasmicdonuts]

Hello, I was trying to do the pre-sale thingie but something was wrong with my credit card so I tried my mother's but it says the same.
Does anyone else have this problem? What should I do?

Thanks

[Azalie]

:I have made the pre-ordering too! I haven't receive an email when the transaction is done but the did the payment It's ok? I don't understand nothing because they said that until 13th june they won't do that!:$

I've read on the support topic that no one has received a confirmation mail, so I guess you shouldn't be worried about that ^^

[bellapod]

This is one I will be looking forward to very much. Time to do some sightseeing in Madrid.

[saski86]

I'm not going to this gig, but I don't know if you're all aware, there is a pre-sale for this gig on Livenation tomorrow @ 9 :)

[Kyomu]

I'm attending too, as far as they confirm me that I have my tickets :) I'm very excited about the idea of attending to a Muse concert, so pleeease summer run fast and let september arrives (with The 2nd Law) to go faster and get to October as soon as posible!

[Midnight26]

I'm not going to this gig, but I don't know if you're all aware, there is a pre-sale for this gig on Livenation tomorrow @ 9 :)

Yeah, I already knew it, but THANK YOU! The question is...what if I buy pre-sale tickets in Livenation and then Muse confirms me that I'm lucky with their application? :s
I'm confused...Duno what to do. :$

[cleon_girl]

I'm not going to this gig, but I don't know if you're all aware, there is a pre-sale for this gig on Livenation tomorrow @ 9 :)

By tomorrow do you mean wednesday? That's what it says on their page.
Anyway, folks on the other thread say we sould get notification on the pre-reservation today, tuesday. http://tickets.muse.mu/en/
So I gess that if I don't get said confirmation I can go for livenation's presale tomorrow, right?

[Midnight26]

I got my 2 tickets for 20 October in Madrid!!! ^^ Good luck to everyone! ;)

[Kyomu]

My ticket has been confirmed too :D AWESOME!

[essjay984]

YEAAAAHHHHH TICKETS!

Now to book flights...

[Polly_]

I'm in! I had the confirmation email hours ago :LOL:

[scifigeekgirl]

Am thinking of this as an alternative to Paris, coz OH is being stubborn about midweek gigs. But I'm bit nervous about going on my own - apart from anything else, I don't speak Spanish, so would be hopeless! :rolleyes:

Is this venue easy to get to via public transport?

[GSMU7]

If i can get a cheap flight this is defo an option.

I am going by hook or by crook. Sharing a room with Catherine. I think we have space too but you'd have to check with her. Really easy venue though.

[DJ Sensei]

Damn it! My money is still on hold, and I haven't received any mail from Muse, not even the unsuccessful notification.

I guess I'll have to try my best this Thursday, stupid system... :mad:

---
OK, I just got the unsuccessful mail :mad: :mad: :mad:

[bellapod]

So this presale 2mz, do we need a code or something?

[cleon_girl]

Is this venue easy to get to via public transport?
yes, there's the subway very near.

good luck to all of you still waiting on resolution; if not, there's a presale at livenation tomorrow at 10 http://www.livenation.es/event/321354/muse-tickets
see ya there, hopefully!

Though I don't live in Madrid, I'm Spanish, and I have moved by tube several times there...And I really can tell you that Madrid's Metro (tube) is really intuitive and easy! Cleon_girl has shown you the page, just take any line to reach Goya Station (lines 2 and 4) or O'Donnell (line 6)

[DJ Sensei]

Hey, Midnight26, I have a question for you :)

Is it safe to get the tickets printed at the ATMs of La Caixa? I mean, is that the regular way to get tickets, or should I get them shipped with insurance (+13€ )?

Obviously I'm not Spanish, that's why I'm asking you. Thanks in advance.
Saludos charros ;)

[Midnight26]

Mmmm...I've always picked up my tickets in Carrefour or El corte inglés, I mean, asociated shops with ticketmaster, but as far as I know, a lot of people get their tickets at the ATMs of La Caixa.
Some of them complain about the tickets...cuz they aren't as nice as the shipped or hand bought ones, hahahaha, but they are as authentic and useful as the others.
(And with nice I mean they aren't less prettier than the others, they are like these:

http://www.chochitopelao.com/imagenes/otros/entradas_muse_01.jpg
I don't know that guy... by the way, haha)

So, yeah, of course you can. In fact, in a muse spanish forum quite a lot of people get their tickets at ServiCaixa, so... if you wanna save those 13€, ServiCaixa is a good option! ;)

Sorry if I've messed up a little bit!:$


ps. Charros? Hahahaha! Nice you know about charros...but, though i'm studying here, I'm from the beautiful Extremadura!

[Beibi]

So this presale 2mz, do we need a code or something?

Nop, you just need to be registered :)

[CrocM]

I got my 2 tickets !
I'm going from Valencia, but I live in Lyon.

Cheers !

[bellapod]

Nop, you just need to be registered :)

Ah I see. Have been registered for a few years now so cool.

[JrMan]

So this presale is happening in 10 mintues right? 10am Spain time = 9am UK time?

[bellapod]

Damn it's only for seated.

[leetroot]

Damn it's only for seated.

check that - i thought the same for Oslo - it only offered seats but then i realised i could change it

[bellapod]

check that - i thought the same for Oslo - it only offered seats but then i realised i could change it

Have looked and definitely upper levels.

[JrMan]

Hopefully there are still some tickets for GA :(

[bellapod]

Hopefully there are still some tickets for GA :(

Yeah of course there will be. I have a place to stay so at least that is booked.

[Beibi]

Don't worry, seems like Vodafone and Live Nation had the same tickets for presale, so Live Nation has put on sale the tickets that were not sold yesterday

[Beibi]

They are putting more tickets!

[DJ Sensei]

YES! I just got my ticket! :D

I couldn't hear my stupid alarm, so I was 35 minutes late, but still got General Area tickets, and it says that there are about 300 tickets for the GA, so check that Livenation site carefully guys :)

And Midnight26, thanks A LOT for your kind answer, seems that I won't have nice tickets this time, hehe.

Saludos extremeños, then ;)

[Beibi]

I got my ticket, too!! :happy:

[Midnight26]

Everyone seems to have tickets so, perfect then! And, you're welcome! :)

[Midnight26]

I have a tiny question for the experts:
How long should I queue to get a good place in standing: hours, days? I thought about beeing there in the morning, but I don't know :$

[Beibi]

In my first gig (2006) we started queuing at midday and we got front row, but I think that's impossible now. But if you just want a good place being there early in the morning should be enough.

You never know with these new musers, tho, there were people queuing for three days at Vicente Calderon.

[Midnight26]

For days?? O.O I can understand it but...I can't queue for 3 days! Hahaha, ok, early in the morning or so, I think! Thanks, Beibi!;)
New musers... I think perhaps Twilight has done much damage! :LOL:

[dingus]

I just got my tickets too!!! :D

not planned to go but couldn't resist when I saw available tickets :$

with easyjet I can fly on Saturday afternoon and back on Sunday morning, that's cool

[bellapod]

Got mine too!!! Yippie.

[mjartrod]

Got my email last night :)

No changes in my credit card transactions since the day I applied for tickets, though. Still pending authorisation. Is the same happening to everyone else or has the money been taken already?

[cleon_girl]

For days?? O.O I can understand it but...I can't queue for 3 days! Hahaha, ok, early in the morning or so, I think! Thanks, Beibi!;)
New musers... I think perhaps Twilight has done much damage! :LOL:

Depends. The one ive been to in Madrid (calderón), I arrived when they were opening the doors and people just weren't queuing (besides maybe a few who wanted to get 1st row). We got 3rd or 4th row, and didn't have to fight, push or anything. We even stopped to take a few pics at the back when we got in. People just weren't interested in the big pink opening.
Pretty cool, if you ask me, I hate queuing. I'd never sleep in there to get a spot.

p.s.: oh, le twilight musers... hope they don't include neutron star collision on the setlist this time.

Saludos charros ;)
I printed them at la caixa's atm machines before and never had any problem.
Unlike those bastards from crowdsurge, who charged me 6.65€ for the ticket shipping without asking! :moody:

[Midnight26]

Ahhh, good news!!! Me neither. I reallly hate queues...
I was thinking of maybe start queuing in the morning, but not camping cuz I can't spend the whole night before the gig in the street...:stunned:
I hope so, too. Neutron Star Collision is not that bad...but no for a gig, i think. For a gig I want other songs. This time? Did they include it on past setlist? :O

Thanks, anyway!:)

I'm off to Madrid (again)! Nosebleed tickets, but never mind.

The standing section last time at Palacio was packed - it looked pretty scary from my position in the balcony. There were several queues to get in, such as the long one snaking past El Corte Ingles, but everyone was very mellow.

Am thinking of this as an alternative to Paris, coz OH is being stubborn about midweek gigs. But I'm bit nervous about going on my own - apart from anything else, I don't speak Spanish, so would be hopeless! :rolleyes:

Is this venue easy to get to via public transport?

The metro is just like the London underground, but cheaper and air conditioned, and the arena is less than 400m from three different stops. The district is full of expensive shops (think Kensington or Knightsbridge), so the hotels around there are not good value - there's better to be had elsewhere. A metro ticket from the airport to the city centre is 4.50 euros. The weather shouldn't be too bad at that time of year... :unsure:

[dukelion]

Does anyone know if this is sold out?

The ticketmaster site keeps crashing.

Edit: yeah looks like it is. I need 2 standing tickets :(

[charming queen]

Anyone know which site to try to get just 1 standing ticket?
Ticket master , gigs and tour all have none:(

[Beibi]

Everyone is having problems, apparently they are putting more seated tickets right now, but not standing.

[nikite]

Is anyone selling two standing tickets? :(

[dukelion]

Everyone is having problems, apparently they are putting more seated tickets right now, but not standing.

Interesting... I completely forgot you guys were 1 hour forward :(

I may just keep checking throughout the day in hope more standing tickets become available, how do you know this info?

museabuse (http://www.museabuse.com/index.php/topic,6802.new.html#new) :), I'm an admin there, there's a lot of people commenting their quest to get tickets and seems like the online sale is being a nightmare.

Please do.
I am having no luck getting any tickets today from anywhere :(

[Beibi]

More seated tickets

[Beibi]

A summary of the situation: Live Nation and Ticketmaster are being a bunch of mother fuckers.

Anyway, ticketmaster is saying on twitter the tickets are already sold out https://twitter.com/TicketmasterES/status/213228747392950272

[bellapod]

Really looking forward to this one.

Never seen Museabuse.com but will look at it. It'll help improve my Spanish and my son's much better Spanish.

[DrummingSpain]

I had beed trying to buy tickets since 09:30 this morning (the usual - crash, blocked, too busy etc etc)...

However, being persintent I managed to buy four seating tickets together (about an hour ago) through Ticket Master. When the system says the seats are booked, it could be that someone's in the process of buying them, but with online security these days they may not get card verification and so in a matter of minutes, the seats are available again! So keep trying!!

Can't wait, this will be my first MUSE gig!

See you there!!! :eek:

[Beibi]

Never seen Museabuse.com but will look at it. It'll help improve my Spanish and my son's much better Spanish.

:happy:

there's already people selling standing tickets for 200€! :noey:

[Random Muse Fanatic]

Hello,

The selling process as a whole has been a complete Joke. There was a pre-sale on Tuesday and it seems that the majority of standing tickets were sold that day.

Today, standing tickets were available for about 5 minutes. People are sad, frustrated and feel abandoned. Not everybody wants to be seated or wants to pay a premium price.

AFTER being sold out, several sites still offered VIP tickets (for 170 euros) which came out about 50 at a time, sold out and were made available again.

People feel cheated.

That, many more reasons and that there is only ONE gig for TWO countries (Portugal) moved us to create an Hashtag on Twitter a few hours ago.

#WeNeedMoreGigsInSPAIN (http://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/%23WeNeedMoreGigsInSPAIN)

Right now, we have more than a thousand tweets complaining about the situation and asking muse to either give us a new gig or move to a bigger location.

It would be great if you could help and spread the word.

Thanks!

Jordi.

I must admit 3 gigs in France but 1 in Spain seems a bit harsh. I'd rather the 3 were in Spain.

[beaes89]

It's a shame that it has been sold more tickets in the presale than in the official sale. They have played more times in Spain, so they should have known this would happen and should have make an effort in organizing it better. It's been a nightmare >_<

[minimora]

I have been all this morning trying to buy some tickets to the gig, the ticketmaster web was collapsed, the FNAC server have opened with 15 min delay, and other shops with 1 hour delay, so I consider that in this way is almost impossible to have a ticket.

I have to add that it's so suspicious that the're have been a lot of resale tickets since so early, a little strange...

[chudenk]

:happy:

there's already people selling standing tickets for 200€! :noey:

What a cunt.

[Beibi]

Seems like most of the standing tickets were sold on the presale with no control and now there's an unofficial site selling a lot of tickets at ridiculous prices.

[JrMan]

Yes tickets sold oul very fast.

Wish there was at least one more gig in Spain and one in Portugal.

[bellapod]

I only got a ticket due to a friend giving me her spare otherwise I would never have got one.

[Midnight26]

It's a shame...I didn't know things would end like this:stunned:
I shouldn't complain, cause apparently Crowdsurge will send me my tickets (hope so), but it seems a pity for fans what has been done...
A disastrous lack of organization. I'm still freaking out.

[ki_ra]

the sale today was a total disaster, I can't believe I couldn't get a ticket yet... They disappeared really fast even with servers and pages collapsed, is that normal? NO. There was an awful organization and it was a cheat, the ticket servers sold almost every tickets before the official sales without any control...
I'm really annoying with all that stuff and I think it's really unfair so many fans who will be out of the concert because of that and there're hundreds of tickes on resales with exorbitant prices
this is a joke...

[DrummingSpain]

There seems to be many seats available on this site:

http://www.viagogo.co.za/Concert-Tickets/Alternative-and-Indie/Muse-Tickets/E-457610

Don't know how trustworthy the site is. 67.50 euros for general entry doesn't seem too bad but I think booking fees are steep.:(

[Beibi]

Yes tickets sold oul very fast.

Wish there was at least one more gig in Spain and one in Portugal.

The last time they played here in Madrid, they already exceeded the capacity of the venue, and they had played in Barcelona days before, and they had a gig in Portugal the day after.

Playing just one gig in the whole peninsula at Palacio de los Deportes which capacity is around 15.500 people (Palau San Jordi is 24.000) is... well, I'm not sure what are they thinking, really. If we add to all of this the poor organization by Live Nation, having three different presales and no leaving almost tickets for the official sale day, we can conclude the whole thing has been a total disaster.

[hutterflies&burricanes]

I haven't posted on this in ages, but just thought I'd log in to say I'm going to this. :awesome: I've never been to Madrid and I'm dying to see Muse again (they failed to include an Irish date...) so I'm super excited! I don't know any Spanish but I'm going with my Dad so I reckon we won't have any problems as he's been to Spain a few times.

I didn't realise the general sale had been such a disaster; I was lucky enough to get mine in the pre-sale/lottery. Phew. :eek:

[charming queen]

I could've gone to the Madrid gig. I had an allocation for a STANDING TICKET, but Livenation.es rejected my credit card saying it was not in the "secure payment service"?

I've just bought the Oslo ticket before and have no problem buying Hamburg ticket after this stupid message.

Very unhappy.:mad:

[Midnight26]

OMG! I was doing a "fake buy" in www.viagogo.es to see what people are talking about and I'm just freaking out!!! 137 € / standing ticket??? or 350€ also.
That's awful and unfair, a shame. I never thought people would be like this! :eek: :(

Yeah, what piss me off the most is there's a lot of fans without tickets and these fuckers are selling them at such prices!

[Midnight26]

Yes... Though I'm not registered in Museabuse, i've been following the gig topic and what happened to some members... Hope Muse come again or there's another ticket pack or sth, cause it's unbelievable all tickets are gone.
A gig not for fans, but for scammers who take advantage in bad times, as will be everywhere :mad:

[cleon_girl]

Ahhh, good news!!! Me neither. I reallly hate queues...

I'm not camping either, but this time I might go a few hours before, as soon as I get to madrid that day. The venue is much more smaller (such a shame, those guys know how to put on a great show on big ones) and the response of the fans on the buying ticket thing has been overwhelming, so I assume this time people will be more... uhm... competitive?

They played Neutron Star Collision in Santiago de Compostela. Teenies went nuts. :rolleyes:
It was in Vicente calderón, june '10!

It's such a mess. First, the presale on here, then the disinformation, ... I totally understand those feeling frustrated.
Just seen a guy on twitter offering a couple of seated tickets for 75€ each. They didnt even last 5 mins on his hands.
I hope next time they do things better with the (pre)sales.

I must admit 3 gigs in France but 1 in Spain seems a bit harsh. I'd rather the 3 were in Spain.
Ive seen someone around complaing about "only 3 gigs in France". Oh, well... seems it's never enough.
What I think: they will come back. Definitely. They always do. Probably a gig or two more both in Portugal and Spain.
I expected it to be nuts, which is why I tried to ensure my tickets asap. I mean... last time in Santiago it was 25000 tickets and got sold out in about half an hour. And it was a festival: more bands expected people may not like (only Jonsi was confirmed along, and he's not much popular around here, so...no, people didn't buy the tickets to see him), less time for muse than in a normal gig and definitely not his usual show (I mean...they didnt have their stage and all). Still, the response to the announcement was overwhelming as well, and they had already played in madrid, bcn and portugal (it was one of the last of the resistance tour gigs), so what did they/we all expect?
I feel bad for all those who can't find tickets, and I know it's not much of a consolation but they'll come back. Maybe next time, when they do a 2nd round. Be steady.


p.s.: those of you trying to find tickets, be very careful who you trust. Everyone wants some so there are always those who will try to take advantage.

[Beibi]

They played Neutron Star Collision in Santiago de Compostela. Teenies went nuts. :rolleyes:

errr... that's not true.

[cleon_girl]

errr... that's not true.
which part? They did play it, and I suffered from some hysterical "leave me some room".

[Beibi]

which part? They did play it, and I suffered from some hysterical "leave me some room".

Both :chuckle: I was at that gig too and they didn't play NSC

Does anyone already bought a "premium golden ticket" in other occasion and may share the experience? I´m trying to buy a ticket for Madrid but it says "sold out" in every single space on regular tickets so im thinking on buying a premium golden ticket...i cannot believe they´re not coming to Portugal and so...if Madrid is the way...then "Hala Madrid" :):):):)

Some girl said she bought one of those tickets for Coldplay and she is not going to repeat the experience, but it was for a different venue so... I think I'm not helping you much :$

[cleon_girl]

errr... that's not true.

youre right! Got confused, it was at calderón. fixed.:p

As this is my first time in Madrid I am sightseeing on the 19th with a mate plus having a bit of a lie in so I can Q from around lunchtime. I am happy being in the middle of standing really. Well ok I love barrier but need to pee every time.
Oh and you can't really please everyone though sometimes I wish they could.

A lot of the golden/ VIP tickets have seats really high up and behind a glass screen, which seems a bit isolated from the whole experience. The seat map on Livenation looks like this is the case for P de los D.

[bellapod]

A lot of the golden/ VIP tickets have seats really high up and behind a glass screen, which seems a bit isolated from the whole experience. The seat map on Livenation looks like this is the case for P de los D.

Blimey!! The gap between barrier and stage is mahoosive.What do they think the crowd will do, jump.

Blimey!! The gap between barrier and stage is mahoosive.What do they think the crowd will do, jump.

I think that's because that stage was very high, if the crowd were closer the first rows would see nothing.

How lovely! Our gigs don't seem to care about that. Can't remember which Muse gig it was but the barrier people got a terrible view.

[Half Life]

How lovely! Our gigs don't seem to care about that. Can't remember which Muse gig it was but the barrier people got a terrible view.

My biggest concern was that the standing area was crowded all the way to the back - there was no space to get a bit of air or even move around if things got too intense at the front.

I heard from friends that it was fine down there, though - no one behaving badly. They might even enforce the smoking ban this time. I could just make out the 'No smoking' sign hanging from the ceiling through the fug and the security guy next to us chain-smoked his way through the whole thing. :rolleyes:

[Wetoocouldbe]

Yeah, I was down there in 2009 and it was perfect. People behaving well and no space or air problems at all.
Can't wait for october!

Hello,

for those who have already used the Servicaixa atms system, is there a deadline ?, i should arrive in the beginning of the afternoon of the show in Madrid , so i am not sure to be able to use this system if there is "an 8 hours before the show" limit.

If not, i should try to the venue, as far i remember, down the stairs, on the right, there is LiveNation-ticketmaster (same company) offices ?

Did you get your confirmation email well formatted (using the Livenation.es presale) ? mine was a little bit scrambled . Mine got some characters like "STKLVN..." in the confirmation reference, but the email came from "compra@ticketmaster.es" and the money went for Ticketmaster.

====> Was it the same for you ?

Anyway, glad to come back in Madrid :D

[dingus]

Hello SOUSOUS ;) Hope to see you in Madrid !

I got my confirmation email from compra@ticketmaster.es (Livenation presale) like you, but it was not scrambled

I asked to send the tickets to my home address even if it was a bit expensive

If you live outside Spain, I think they give the option to get the tickets sent to your house. At least I read that when I bought mines but I chose the option to pick them in the cash machine service.

[SOUSOUS]

Hello,

they gave me this option through the presale, but the separated payment went wrong (very strange, it was ok few minutes for the show, but for the postage option, not !!!!). I wasnt able to try again, so i suppose the ticket will be "waiting" inside one of the cash machine. hoping there is no deadline ! ( i have seen ticket should be taken 8 hours before the show, then after, well, i dont know, at the venue i suppose)

Picking them at the box office was apparently another ot the options you could choose.
If I were you, I'd try to pick them at the cash machine just in case. I don't know about a deadline though.

I'm picking them up at the box office (to the right of the main entrance and down some stairs), but there was a strange separate payment of 3 euros minimum. Bizarre that they didn't take the payment at the same time. I was worried that my credit card company would block the second transaction: a small payment over the internet is the sort of thing that thieves try after stealing your details.

Do you mean a 'Tabacos' shop? I use them to buy stamps... :p

According to Google maps there's one on the road at the back of the arena, i.e. on the east side. Look for the junction of Calle de la Fuente del Berro (south side, No 41) and Calle de Jorge Juan.

The decent price/quality hotels in that area (Salamanca, Recoletos) are booking out fast.

Hi, I've been searching information about our problem with the tickets and I've read that CrowdSurge ships the tickets 2 weeks before the event :S

[Midnight26]

Yeap, CrowdSurge stated it clearly in their webpage... :( Nearly 4-2 weeks before the event....

OK thanks for the information

[bellapod]

My ticket is with a friend from Oz so who knows when that'll turn up.

I create a facebook group for the future DVD of Muse's gig at Madrid ! enjoy !

I made this group in order to have coordination in the creation of a DVD Multicam of Muse's perf' at palacio de los deportes in Madrid (20/10/2012). I have already made the DVD of Muse at Old Trafford in 2010 so i will made this DVD

je crée ce groupe afin de s'organiser pour le multicam de muse à Madrid le 20 octobre prochain dont je m'occuperai. J'ai déjà monter le concert de Manchester en HD

So apart from seeing Muse, is there much to do in Madrid when on a tight budget?

[Half Life]

So apart from seeing Muse, is there much to do in Madrid when on a tight budget?

Retiro Park (Parque del Buen Retiro) is free and good for strolling around in. It's usually pretty busy on a Sunday morning - lots of trees and seats and shrubs, a lake, the 2004 Madrid bombing memorial woods, the crystal palace, a statue of Lucifer (el Angel Caido), and the cafes serve a surprisingly good cup of coffee.

The Prado Museum is free for the last 2 hours each day (M-S 18:00-20:00, Sunday 17:00-19:00). Queue up with all the other freebie-hunters outside the main entrance and they'll herd you through pretty quickly, so don't worry if the line looks really long.

How long will you be there and what sort of things are you interested in?

[DrummingSpain]

Its a Premium Golden Ticket - I had to pay through the nose as they were the only ones on sale after just an hour of tickets going on sale!!! Later the same day, all sold out! It also includes 'no queue', free bar, program, and something else I can't remember....! But as for the Pre-concert DJ Party, no details were given so I'm a bit in the dark! :rolleyes:

Hi all! I have a question about pre-sale tickets. A few days ago I received a mail from Crowdsurge confirmed that the tickets had been sent. In this mail came a link that supposedly can track the status of the shipment. The problem is that when I introduce the reference skewer, the link tells me not find it. A few more happened??? Thanks in advance

PD: Sorry for my english ;);)

I'm in the same situation, I've received the mail with the tracking code, but the DeutchePost page can't find the information.
In my profile page at crowdsurge site the tickets remain in the same status from the last monts: "payment received".

Is the email an error? or they forgot to update the status at the page?

In the ticketmaster page, go to MUSE MADRID, and the "Iniciar compra", I have tried from 3 different computers, from Mozzilla, from IE, from Opera, .... and it doesn't work, as we say in Spain "mi gozo en un pozo"

Ah brilliant thanks so much! Dont know why I am stressing as we went all the way to Mexico city without tickets in hand to see U2 and had to pick them up there - went on a bit of a wild goose chase but got them eventually!

Any body know the best way to and from the stadium? We are staying pretty much in the centre so am hoping there is a reasonable Metro nearby that will run late enough?

[ladydragon]

Any body know the best way to and from the stadium? We are staying pretty much in the centre so am hoping there is a reasonable Metro nearby that will run late enough?

The best way would be taking the metro line 2, it has a stop near the venue (Goya) and several in the city centre.

Oh, and it's open until 1.30am.

[JMiguel]

I just received the tickets today!! I'm so happy :D

still waiting :'(

Deutschepost.de keeps saying that the package is in Frankfurt :(

I'm still waiting for my ticket and I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, could you tell me if the tracking number is the same as the order ID? I can't find anything else :(

[Elfinchen_94]

I've finally bought a ticket ( :happy: )and wanted to collect it today. But the guy told me that I can only collect it a hour before the event starts at the venue because I don't have the credit card with me only a commission.
Is that true or is there any other way to collect the ticket before?
I'm a bit worried that it won't work on the day of the event...

[JMiguel]

Received the tickets! :D

I'm still waiting for my ticket and I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, could you tell me if the tracking number is the same as the order ID? I can't find anything else :(

Tracking code is not the same as order Id, You should receive an email from Crowdsurge with tracking number and a link to Deutschepost (DHL global mail) to check,

The traking number looks like "RK 1234 5678 9 DE", and the link to check https://www.deutschepost.de/sendungsstatus/bzl/sendung/simpleQuery.do?locale=en&look=dhl&init=true

I hope I don't have a problem picking up my tickets at the venue, because the card I used to pay for them has been replaced by my bank for a new one with a completely different number due to 'suspicious activity'. :stunned: Bad timing, eh?

Safe flight to you too. It's going to be a seriously great Saturday night.

Catch you in Madrid.

Am sitting in McDonalds having a coffee at Gatwick airport. It's nearly 4am and there is bad music playing. Help me.

If flying from the south terminal I suggest going upstairs after the big duty free shop. Left at the escalators then left again. Proper seating. Some with leg rests.

Does anyone know timings of this gig? What time Muse are on? Interested to know how late it will go. I arrive early afternoon and I'd rather spend as much time as I can seeing Madrid than queuing/seeing support.

I'm staying in the No Name Hostel if any other Musers are gonna be that way.

My ticket says they are on at 9.30pm. I'm tempted to see more of Madrid too but want to be on barrier. What to do.

[Half Life]

I've spent most of the day shopping and walking around Arguelles, so now my feet are killing me. Just as well we have seats for Saturday. Off now for a meal in La Latina.

And I'm still worried about picking up the tickets - I won't be happy until they're in my hands. :unsure:

Hello to everyone who's travelling long distance for the gig. The sound was really good at PdD last time, but it did look rammed in the standing area - I do like a bit more personal space.

Tempted to swap to seating so I can see more of Madrid.

we are flying tomorrow morning from Geneva
I'm looking forward to this gig, in 2009 it was fantastic I love the Palacio

[Half Life]

I picked up a copy of this week's NME at Luton Airport, which I haven't read yet - it must have been fate that Muse are on the front. :D

I can hear people heading out for the evening... I'm saving my energy for tomorrow. :)

i am so short i'm not going to see anything in standing. as long as it sounds good, i don't care. i got injured at a festival trying to get to the barrier for muse (which i did get), it was a horrible experience and definitely not worth it.

i'm well looking forward to seeing madrid!

[Petrov.alex]

Guys, I flew all the way from Moscow, Russia to see the beloved MUSE!!
I was just 5 minutes late to buy a ticket in June at the pre-sale and now I am in Madrid and I still don't have a ticket...
Please, does somebody of you have an extra standing place ticket? I would pay loads of money to get it!!! Please, don't kill my dream!!..

My God what an amazing gig. Felt like the only brit in th e crowd lol. Much prefer them to over UK audiences. Less violent ;-) but anyway best gig they have done even though Matt tripped on stairs.. :-)

[bellapod]

Great gig, shame about the security. Despite queuing since 1.45am the door security held us back then shut the door in our faces to stop us going through. Managed far right barrier but only just. Plus the security by the stage refused to give water despite multiple boxes of bottles by them. Only when survival, the last song came on were we given a 250ml bottle to share with 4 people. Apart from that, the queuing crowd were great and friendly, Matt tripped, Dom lost a drumstick while playing and laughed, songs performed well, am so looking forward to next week even more.

1.45am? Good lordy. And you got a duff place? How infuriating :mad: but I hope it didn't spoil the gig for you - by all accounts it was a corker. :)

Got some lush photos and video visuals so happy about that. It's prepared me for others. No matter how ill I am after or the amount of pain afterwards (well within reason) I still prefer being at barrier. Mind you, I promised Catherine I will see the doctor after last night but that's not for the forum.

Hi all! Yesterday's gig was amazing! I was at row 10-12 without effort arriving at 7pm :). Anyway a better organization would have avoided that opportunistic people come to the front at last moment because while MUSE playing it was so crowded!

[Midnight26]

It was...amazing, fantastic, awesome...I'm still freaking out! No words, to sume up!
Looking forward to this summer for a next gig!!!! A pity that yesterday's dream ended...
I was at row 5 or so and even people sometimes were a bit... annoying pulling you, it was... they are Muse!

[Beibi]

The gig was amazing, I had such a great time :awesome: The band looked happy and seemed to have a lot of fun :D

PS: Matt falling was :LOL:

[DrummingSpain]

I heard a few posts saying they weren't happy with the support band but they were superb! They were having a great time and really stoked up the crowd. Great set by Muse, including Hysteria, New Born (over 8 minutes!!!), TIRO and KoC. There was a great atmosphere and everyone really enjoyed it. Matt was very conscious to play to the crowd, even those at the sides of the stage who didn't have the best seats. For those who haven't yet been, you're going to have a blast! :D

[JoBear]

They flashed up on the lyrics for Madness on the screens "weed" instead of "mean"...I guess quite rightly since everyone was lighting up!

I thought Unsustainable was terrible - the sound at the start of the gig did not sound good, although it got better. Survival was so disappointing, around me everyone just stood there. Which is weird because why'd everyone go so crazy for Starlight?

I had fun, turned up at just after 9pm and got pretty close to the front.

[DrummingSpain]

Survival was so disappointing, around me everyone just stood there. Which is weird because why'd everyone go so crazy for Starlight?

Probably 'cos its much better known and a bit faster than Survival, plus its got the line which most Spaniards know "Black holes and Revelaaaaaaaations". To be fair, watching the video I have of the crowd during Survival, they seemed pretty fired up to me.

Also throughout the concert, the vocals were a bit too quiet I thought. Still, it was a great gig, shame I can't make it to another....!

Weed? Up in the nosebleed seats, the fug was really thick. I could hardly make out the 'no smoking' banners.

Unsustainable sounded great to me, but I was above the speakers and up near the roof, level with the front of the stage on Chris's side. One or two songs fell a little flat - Explorers had everyone sitting down and taking a break (chatting, getting more beer, etc), and people were mostly watching the dancing monsters during Panic Station.

Some guys in the queue behind me at the airport tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I'd been to the Muse gig (the sweatshirt with Muse on it was a clue). They hadn't, but had gone to some indie club on Saturday night (Sunday morning) and found themselves at the aftershow party. :stunned:

[mjartrod]

Had an AMAZING time in Madrid :D

Decided to go completely unspoiled (not easy!) and it was great. All the new songs sounded fantastic, Falling Down was a massive surprise cos I'd heard the rumours but thought it would be so far fetched to have them playing it, the pyramid stage looks incredible and it doesn't detract one bit from the music, it enhances everything...

The crowd was as I expected it. loud and supportive from start to end, and everyone who had seats was standing. Standing was absolutely packed (looked too small to be honest) and that was actually the only thing that was annoying - I was right in front of the FoH (talked to Tom in the end :D) and near the end me and my friends were getting crushed against the metal gates. If I wanted to be squished, I'd be at the barrier... but apart from that... :D :D :D

Cant wait for London now!

[dukelion]

I flew from London to see them and the Spanish crowd were absolutely brilliant.

Now there's the two nights at the o2 Fri/Sat but I know it will be "brutal" with a lot of pushing and shoving.

We were pretty close to the stage by the left, good spot.

Totally agree with that... The crowed was so loud that I really had to close my eyes and focus to hear Bellamy's voice... It's great that the crowd participates and the energy was just huge, but I didn't pay my ticket to have people yelling in my ears (neither bad singing nor "Dios mio !")... That was the down side of the gig...

Other than that, it was simply LEGEN-wait-for-it-DARY !!! :D The show was mind-blowing, the crowd super motivated, the band excellent... I'm still recovering from all these feelings :p

THANK YOU MADRID !!!!

Your friends must've been to my right cos he stopped to talk to a few boys before he came over to me to sign my ticket and by the time we left it was basically cos security was pushing us out of the standing area :LOL: So I guess we almost bumped into each other!

When did you start queuing and at what puerta?

[dingus]

We had an amazing time in Madrid!
I love the Palacio! We were 1st row of 2nd floor Matt's side, perfect view and enough space to dance and jump :D

We waited for the group after the show but only saw Tom Kirk (who was kind enough to let us take a picture of him)

Ready for London now!

One of my friends is a tall blonde guy who looks German, well, he is German :LOL: they got their tickets signed and talked to him a bit. Can you imagine? we probably crossed each other without knowing haha

We started to queue around 12:00 am at Goya entrance, and you?

Jaja, don't worry :) Even though it was a bit annoying, it was cute to see the effect it had at some people ! At some point I wish I could express my joy the same way :p

[DrummingSpain]

And another thing... I really can't see any reason why they wouldn't play Big Freeze on this tour: in my opinion its one of the best tracks on the album and reckon it would be fantastic live. The only explanation I can think of, is that early polls suggested that many fans thought it was the 'runt of the litter'. I was a bit dissapointed they didn't play it at the Palacio, but hope to see a video of it being played live IF they play it at another venue.

[sassyjem]

Got back last night from Madrid...what a weekend.:happy:

Oh my goodness - have to say that was THE best MUSE gig I have personally attended! I know I say that every time but this really WAS! The venue was excellent, even if it did look a little rammed in GA. The crowd were AMAYZING!!! The song choice was superb and not particulary predictable from my point of view anyway. Stage design was astounding as usual. And at last.....MATT is starting to interract with both the other guys on stage and the crowd. What a difference that made to the whole thing. The crowd obviously adored it but what was more interesting was that it really seemed to lift the band. Matt seemed to be in his element and although it was a little strange to see him without the guitar, it suited him and he seemed to play with the lyrics a little more. If they carry on like this - with the subtle little changes and nuances - they will be untouchable live for quite a long time.....

Oh.....and I got a marriage proposal during Starlight...and yes...I accepted!!!!:D:D:D:D:D

[DrummingSpain]

Did anyone else notice that Dom had a lot of trouble with his earpieces during the first couple of tracks? He kept pressing them in and looking to the sound engineer - he wasn't happy!! The sound level of his drums were much quieter too but that picked up towards the end of Supremacy. Managed to get on video him losing a drumstick too - what a legend!

We started to queue around 12:00 am at Goya entrance, and you?

Midnight?? You slept there? lol We did see quite a few people when we arrived, at about 9am. Our hotel was 5 min away from the venue, great find, and we saw people queuing as he went past the venue.
We turned up pretty late cos we had already decided that we'd stay by the sounddesk, so we only went to the queue about half an hour before the doors opened. And it was at Puerta del Berro, not Goya.

I don't remember seeing your friend, but for sure he was one of the guys who Tom stopped to talk to before he came to us. I was 3 friends, girls, and I had a Portuguese flag with me. I was going to ask Tom to sign it but then last minute I decided to get him to sign my ticket instead.


I started watching a few videos yesterday cos I was suffering massive withdrawal but think I'm not gonna watch anything else until I'm back from London next Monday. Plus, I had a standing ticket but I'm a shortarse so I'm swapping it for a seat cos it's my last gig this year and I NEED to see the stage properly.

But this must be said again - fantastic crowd :D I think I got goosebumps when Resistance started and everyone was singing the melody. I absolutely adore that song live, especially if it's being played to a good crowd.

[Beibi]

Midnight?? You slept there? lol

:facepalm: :LOL: no, we certainly didn't lol

I went to see some people that were at Fuente del Berro but probably before you arrived.

I'm going to buy seated tickets for the next gig, for sure. In my opinion this setlist and this show were better than the ones from 2009 but I had a lot more fun during that gig because I could see everything, the show, the band, the crowd going crazy, I could move myself freely, jumping and dancing. Watching some videos now I'm realising I missed a lot of things :(

My tickets to Madrid (plus hotel + flights) were in the back of my 50th Birthday card from my fiance, given just after he proposed and slipped the ring on my finger. The surprise totally blew away the rest of my 50th birthday and engagement stuff !!

Thanks for sharing your memories video/pictures everyone it was a fantastic concert. MUSE rock my very soul I love them!

Hey relax :p
I understand that people can be so excited and I think it's very supportive for the band. If I didn't accept this, I indeed would watch live DVDs all alone.
I'm just a bit sad not to have heard Bellamy's voice more clearly. I'm still allowed to express my opinion. Both positive and negative impressions are in my post (maybe you should read till the end).
I love Muse and gigs but that's not a reason for me to always find everything amazing and perfect.
I mean we're here to exchange opinions and impressions, aren't we ? You may disagree with me but that does not give you the right to use that condescending tone.

Guys, I flew all the way from Moscow, Russia to see the beloved MUSE!! I am in Madrid and I still don't have a ticket...
Please, does somebody of you have an extra standing place ticket? I would pay loads of money to get it!!! Please, don't kill my dream!!..

Hey Alex! Did you end up getting into the gig? You're right, tickets were difficult to get hold of as soon as they went on sale and reckon they sold out by lunchtime. Don't forget MuseBay on this forum where you buy / sell / swap tickets. Hope you managed to get a ticket in the end. Saludos!
