Yeey, looking forward to join you :awesome:

[Queeni]

Still thinking about it ... which means I'm probably going ;)

[Soreia]

Just bought my ticket :happy: :happy:

[MK Soultra]

If anyone has one spare standing ticket too much, DM me ;)

[escondido]

Also got a ticket! Yeah!

[haarpuna]

Oh hi guys. I'll be going as well :D ;)

[OriginOfStarlight]

Count me in :D

[Anura]

Is anyone coming from the direction Groningen/Enschede/Osnabrück going to this gig? I'd like to go but it is quite a distance to travel, so perhaps there is someone who'd like to carpool with me (I have a car). If you live in a city that is somewhere between Groningen - Müchen maybe we could make an arrangement. :)

No irish gig this year so was hoping to go to this, all of the standing tickets on ticketmaster are sold out :(

Anyone know if more will be released or if another site has standing tickets still available?

Thanks!

[Stephanie***]

I'm going as well! Fuck yeah!

[Yamori]

I would love to go there but after the concert there is no train driving me back :supersad: I am from Nürnberg... so is there anyone from my direction going to the gig with the car who could possibly take me? :$ That would be SO great!!

[mr_pebbles]

anyone got the tickets yet???

[Mc Queen]

Came last week. :happy:

[mr_pebbles]

damn, why didn't i get mine... :(

[kingcools]

Hi, sadly i can not attend the gig in munich though i got up to 3 standing tickets for the munich gig. if anyone is looking for tickets PM me.

[darksky]

anyone got the tickets yet???

Yes, they arrived like one week ago...

[mr_pebbles]

where did you guys get your tickets? i bought mine at the pre-sale on here, and the e-mail says, they'll be shipped just 2 weeks before the show?

[Mc Queen]

Same, though it said they'd be shipped 4 weeks before, and they were shipped about 5 before. Took a while to arrive though, bank holidays and weekends and stuff.

[darksky]

I got my tickets via Ticketmaster, they said they'll send them one month before the gig, and they did. :happy:

[Stuart1986]

Me and a friend are going from uk, we have a spare ticket. The gig is on the 12th. PM me if anyone is interested

[mwf]

If anyone got 2 standing tickets left, please PM.

[EndlessBliss]

Hello everyone. I want to ask something.

I had written my friend's address on that form to buy a ticket. Because she lives in Germany and I didn't want to pay extra money. So my ticket was sent to my friend's home. Now there's her name on my ticket instead of mine, of course. Does this create any problem? Do people who check our tickets at the doors say "Show me your ID. This is not your name bla bla bla.."? :rolleyes:

No, I don't think so. It's not my name on my cards either, but my moms. And she's not going with us...

[EndlessBliss]

I see. Thank you so so much :)

[Stuart1986]

Any English people going to this? Me and a mate are going, would be nice to meet up with some fellow Brits.

[Pip]

I'm trying to find a standing ticket. If anyone has, or knows of, a spare, please PM me. Thank you! :)

[Pip]

Checked with my manager today and I can definitely get the time off work for this, so am definitely searching for one face-value standing ticket!

I can pay immediately by PayPal or bank transfer :)

[Pip]

I've just booked flights :stunned:

[Pip]

Can anyone with standing tickets please tell me if there is more than one entrance to the arena for standing?

[Soreia]

Hereeeee you got a Pm :)

[Steffi1210]

I have an extra standing ticket for sale... PM me if interested...

[Pip]

I have now bought a face-value standing ticket for this gig :)

[darksky]

I'm so excited, my first Muse gig :awesome: Altough it's difficult because I have to be back home in the same night, and we're driving ~3 hours. But still :awesome: :awesome:

[pwoperzetamuser]

Just 10 days!! I can't wait anymore :eek:

[Pip]

Are there any locals who know if it will be possible to get the train to the airport late next Monday night, after the gig? I've had a look on one transport website which appears to suggest I will be able to, but also says tickets aren't available so I'm a bit confused!

I'm flying in to Munich next Sunday morning and have booked to stay HERE (http://www.booking.com/hotel/de/bestwesternapartmuenchen.html?aid=314921&label=postbooking_confemai) Sunday night as it's quite close to the venue. I can leave my bag at the hotel when I check-out on Monday morning, so my plan is to return to the hotel after the gig, grab my bag, get a taxi to the train station then a train to the airport, where I'll hang around until I fly home the next day (hotel prices for Monday night are ridiculously high and I'm not bothered about doing an airport sleepover).

If anyone is able to advise I'd be really grateful! :)

[Pip]

Sorted :)

[trogette]

anyone planning on tweeting? will be interesting if the setlist gets jigged about during the break...

[EndlessBliss]

Just 10 days!! I can't wait anymore :eek:

All I want to say is...

[Pip]

Oh! Just realised this is the next gig on the tour! :LOL: :awesome:

[darksky]

Next gig :D
Maybe they'll have some funny ideas during the break :LOL: I think it's possible that we're going to get the first Big Freeze performance

[leetroot]

You lucky people :-D

[vibrantXhearts]

I talked about doing this back and forth with Pip a few days ago and with Poland now looking more unlikely due to standing tickets being seemingly unobtainable, I'm starting to really consider this one :LOL: Flights have obviously gone up in price a bit but they're still only £100 which is pretty reasonable. Seen a couple of standing tickets go up on musebay in the last few days but they're from pretty new users - sorry if that sounds rude, I've just seen a few people who've been scammed on there recently so I'm a bit wary! Still very seriously considering this now though.

Ali! Why don't you book your flights anyway? I've got a twin room booked, just for me, so if you do come that's accommodation sorted and it's not expensive either, would work out at just over £60 each for two nights.

Chances are, a few people will post last-minute with tickets for collection at venue due to friends not going. There don't appear to be specific entrances on the standing tickets so that won't be a problem.

I've booked and cancelled so many places in the last few days but have finally settled on a twin room with private shower and breakfast included, here.

http://www.booking.com/hotel/de/haus-international.en-gb.html?label=gog235jc-index-XX-XX-XX-unspec-gb-com;sid=6ef4e198822d8b0335df03dbcfdc84f8;dcid=2

It's only costing me £123 and that's checking-in on Sunday at 14.00 (they said can check-in earlier if room is ready) and checking-out at 10.00 on Tuesday. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms.

If you don't get a ticket, well, you won't be stranded with nowhere to stay!

Edit. May be able to get that room for less by booking direct, just need to check breakfast is included when booking with the hostel itself :)

[vibrantXhearts]

I now have flights, a ticket and a hotel :awesome:

What time will u be there? Who's going for barrier?

Can't wait!!

[Pip]

What time will u be there? Who's going for barrier?

Can't wait!!

Definitely want barrier, although not the pointy part of it as I found that much of the stage was obscured standing there. I expect we'll be over at about 8ish :)

[Stephanie***]

wow that early :eek: ok.... :D

so what side are you going for then? matt's or chris'?

I think the setlist will be kinda like UK's

[Pip]

wow that early :eek: ok.... :D

so what side are you going for then? matt's or chris'?

It's really difficult to judge but certainly for the UK gigs I know there have been around thirty people already in the queue by about 9!

I really do want to go Chris' side for either Poland or Munich, will make the final decision on the run/power walk to the barrier once I've seen how crowded it is :)

[darksky]

Hey guys, do you think it will be a problem to bring a real camera with me? I know that smartphones don't appear to be a problem, but what's with a DSLR camera?
Edit: I'm seated, so I don't worry about it getting lost/smashed etc.

[Pip]

If any established members have a face-value standing (Innenraum only) ticket for this gig and is able to hand it over at the venue (I can pay by paypal immediately), I'd like to buy it please!

My ticket, which I know was posted last Saturday, hasn't arrived so I need another one. If I then end up with two, so be it, I'll try and sell the spare. Please send me a PM and I'll get back to you straight away about payment!

[crat1x]

@darksky: you could try it, but in general DSLRs are not allowed on concerts (professional etc. bla bla bla) (except you are a journalist) - if u make it i would like to see your pictures hehe :D

@pip, did you contact the ticket support/service? that's really awful if they are not able to send your ticket on time!

[Pip]

@pip, did you contact the ticket support/service? that's really awful if they are not able to send your ticket on time!

Hi :)

I bought the ticket from a board member. They posted it last Saturday and were told it would take two to four days to arrive here in the UK. If it doesn't come tomorrow then I'm stuffed and will have wasted £60.

[Pip]

This is absolutely NOT the fault of the seller by the way! It's to do with either Deutsche Post or the Royal Mail. We can see from the tracker that the item allegedly arrived in the UK yesterday.

Shipment number: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The item was scanned in the country of destination United Kingdom at Nov 8, 2012.

So, my guess is that it is waiting in a sorting office in the UK. The question is, where?! I'm going down to my local sorting office first thing tomorrow, armed with the tracking information, and will hopefully come home with a ticket or knowing the ticket will be delivered later in the day.

[crat1x]

it will work somehow :) maybe you can buy your ticket @the venue - I'm pretty sure somebody's gonna sell his/her ticket. see you there =)

[Pip]

Picked my ticket up from my local sorting office early this morning! So relieved! :)

[alit]

Really pleased you found it Pip :D

[PodcastFips]

Will you guys be waiting at the east or west entrance? If you look at the seating plan, the entrance to the arena on the western side would be in front of the stage, but I'm not sure if you can get in there.

[Pip]

Really pleased you found it Pip :D

Thanks :)

I've no idea, I really ought to have a proper look at the venue before I leave tomorrow!

[PodcastFips]

I've no idea, I really ought to have a proper look at the venue before I leave tomorrow!

I know it quite well because I've been there multiple times, but always seated. It is some kind of a huge labyrinth.

[crat1x]

Yeah, awesome!

@PodcastFips, I have a standing ticket, I hope I find the right way to the 1st row :P

[Pip]

I know it quite well because I've been there multiple times, but always seated. It is some kind of a huge labyrinth.

Oh no! :LOL:

[Pip]

Catherine and I walked round to the venue from our hostel earlier this evening and there are no clues whatsoever as to which of the two entrances we should queue at tomorrow morning! :LOL:
Couldn't even see the stage through the windows (venue has walls of glass all around), or maybe they build the stage and set early in the morning.

[escondido]

Does anybody know if there will be a wavebreaker at tomorrow´s show?

EDIT: And a second question: Will there be a special venue poster, only designed for this concert? Or don´t they sell any posters at their concerts? Or only one poster for all shows in Europe?

[crat1x]

There is a Europe Tour Poster (I think no special Munich version) and I'm pretty sure there will be weavebrakers

[escondido]

Thanks crat1x! Do You - or anyone other - have a pic of this tour poster? Would be great of You.

[PodcastFips]

In 2009, there weren't any wavebreakers.
If you want to have a look at the inside, they have a webcam installed which updates every minute:

Only a few hours left. Really looking forward to the gig.

[cleptomanix]

Everything Everything

[Mo333]

well, don't really know what to say... amazing...
First, the crowd was standart german "sh*t". I'm a bit ashamed of my country...
Second, as i expected after the "long" tour break, this gig had the weakest setlist of the tour. I wished we get Motp and SS, but unhappily we got Hysteria an NB.
But to come straight to positive moments. Because of NB we got the Headup beast riff. My gosh, it was heavy. Unsustainable is also such a beast live, i like it more even than on the album. All other 2nd law songs are top live.
The sound/acoustic in the concert hall was outstandig. Band was in the well known happy second law tour mood. Perfect.
All in all, i guess this was the best muse gig i've been to, it was even better than the Cologne 2012 gig.
Tomorrow i'll come to a sharper relief about this gig...

:)

Edit: The light show is pure awesomeness. Well done kirky...

[Pip]

''You can go down any of the stairs and through the seats, they all lead to the arena floor''.

Cool story, security team.

[forevermusic]

Everything Everything

Keep thinking they're called Everything Everywhere like the phone network. :chuckle::facepalm:

[PodcastFips]

We went to the west entrance at about 4 p.m., there were only about 10 people. One of them told us the fastest way to the arena floor and we ended up in the 2nd row, very close to the middle.
Until Tiro it was a warm-up, but then the crowd went crazy. Moshpit during KoC. Totally wasted right now.

The setlist wasn't anything special, we got Hysteria, Falling Down and New Born. No differences to previous tour gigs.

[Stephanie***]

OMG! What a night! The setlist wasn't different from the others but hell yeah it was a great night!!

The munich crowd used to be very boring but on Matt's side the fans went so nuts!! The moshpit thing during KOC was amazing! OMG it looked so cool! :LOL:

I didn't like the support band. And I guess they were pretty pissed about the crowd.

[Mc Queen]

What an awesome gig! :awesome: :party: dance:

Amazing setlist, great crowd, and what an arena. Second best venue to Wembley, it was like a mini aztec stadium, and the stage was as if built for this hall :LOL:

Best Muse gig with Wembleys. And we got New Born! :awesome: And Falling down! :awesome:

Loved Survival, yeez what a song to bring at the end. I went nuts :LOL: And all the others. Amazing! :happy::happy::happy:

[Pip]

I was at the sound desk, crowd all around were great, very enthusiastic.

[saski86]

Glad you had a good time despite what sounded like a nightmare of getting in and not making barrier :happy: We've still got Poland for another attempt :D

[solemndrummer]

were there many people queuing early ?

[Stephanie***]

no! I got there at the east entrance about 4 pm. There were actually just about 30. I ended up in the 6th row but I didn't find the way to the standing area. If I would have found it... it could have been the 2nd I think.

Hey!

Hi!

Yesterday was the first time I saw Muse! I am totaly flashed of this fantastic concert! The lightshow, the sound, the band ... everything was perfect. Except the support band, this one I don´t like to hear a second time.
But the rest of the evening was perfect.

[Pip]

Glad you had a good time despite what sounded like a nightmare of getting in and not making barrier :happy: We've still got Poland for another attempt :D

Yes :)

[Pip]

I made the most of being at the sound desk and having space to go nuts and rock out, so just the one video from Munich. Falling Down, complete with screams at the appropriate moment :)

[binaural2002]

Great videos! Were you standing at the sound desk?
Thanks!
I stood centered in the middle, I think about 15 or 20 m to the stage. It was a good place I think so. The better place of course would have been directly in front of the stage, but for this I had to come much earlier to the venue. But the place was good to have a look at the whole show.

[binaural2002]

Just a short question:
Are there any plans of creating a multicam-dvd of this concert? Would be fantastic! I don´t have the skills and the capabilities to do such something. The only thing I could do is to provide my videos.

[crat1x]

that would be really awesome! there are so many good videos on youtube

[binaural2002]

that would be really awesome! there are so many good videos on youtube
That's true. But unfortunately I don't have the skills to do this. But maybe somebody here in this forum has ... so I keep my fingers crossed and hope the best.

[Tumbling-Dice]

I also made some videos of this amazing show, you can see em at my Youtube-Channel:

http://www.youtube.com/user/lancastrian2910

[escondido]

Is there a audio bootleg of this concert existing? Must have it!

[binaural2002]

Any news about a multi-cam DVD or a bootleg? Would be fantastic?
