hi, does anyone know why bliesuserviss.lv is saying "Sales start at 12.06.2012 10:00
25.00 - 45.00 LVL" ? is this just a mistake or will there be some sort of presale?

thanks.

[whatsoever]

Is anyone from Lithuania going there? :)

there's a presale for the members of the organisers' websites. you can register either here (http://www.fbi.lv/en/fbi-club/) or here (http://www.positivus.com/users/) to get a presale code

arena riga in 2007 was my first myse gig i would really love to go there again.

[museisti]

btw do you have to request the presale code like with the estonian ticket site, or will they just send it to you?

[nalanie]

Hi there,
can someone tell me if the Riga gig is seated only, or was there standing and it sold out? I want to book a ticket, but would prefer standing, and I can't understand the site (I'm Australian). Thanks. :)

[jimona]

Of course there are standing tickets, I've already bought one on ticketpro.lv :) They just didn't make english translations of price categories, but stavvietas means standing tickets, so just go here: https://shop.ticketpro.lv/en/Event/Detail/151/muse and you'll find the last row - stavvietas.

Thank you very much for this! :)

Riga in 2007 was my first gig, back when I liked the band but wasn't a big, big fan so I always think of it fondly. And man, what a set list- B&H, Assassin, New Born, Apocalypse Please, Bliss- too bad I didn't quite "appreciate" it back then :LOL: I mean, I'd take Apocalypse Please over pretty much any song, save maybe Citizen Erased and Muscle Museum.
Anyway, we had seats but due to languge misunderstanding ended up at a seperate fan area at the front (seperated by a rope or something that was removed when general entrence was allowed in)- any Latvians know if this is taking place this time? I am not attending but I thought I'd share a tip if they have that this time around.

My next problem is that the Latvian ticket company won't accept my Australian credit cards, which is a bit strange considering Hungary and Poland have the same ticket company, but within their country, and both of these accepted my cards. :mad: Does anyone know how I can get around it? :$

Hello! Have you tried buying the ticket through another Latvian ticket company - http://www.bilesuserviss.lv/eng/concerts/muzika/roks_un_pops/?concert=107165 ? It's official, too. I hope there will be no problem.

No, not this time unfortunately :( It was a neat thing though, you par 5 Ls more for a ticket (25 - fan area, 20 - the rest) and you are guaranteed to stand in around 5-10m from the barrier without having to stand in lines before the show.

Thank you for this, but no go - they won't take my cards either!! :mad: The Latvian companies must be very mistrusting!! :'(

[sade]

Have you tried e-mailing them? Maybe a Latvian fan can help you out by writing the e-mail in Latvian, just in case? Do they take PayPal? Maybe the card needs to be verified (Verified by Visa, whatever the Mastercard equivalent is?)

Idk, just throwing ideas out there.

Also, a bit of an anomaly that standing is cheaper than seats, must a cultural difference thing!

I did email them, but I've had no answer yet. They don't take Paypal, unfortunately, and I have a verified by Visa password. I just assume it's not European (or Latvian), so they won't accept. Damn!! :mad:

So... did they reply to your email?

[peep]

Could someone help translate the types of ticket listed on ticketsource.lv? There seem to be four types, priced differently, and I can't work out which are standing, seating, etc

Fankoo!

[HAARP61]

Nope, they didn't!! But funnily enough, I have a Latvian friend who is travelling to Riga next week. He is going to buy a ticket for me whilst he's there!! Hallelujah!! :D

Hi! There isn't any "ticketsource.lv". In case you meant ticketpro.lv:

1.stāvs, 1. cenu kategorija - 1st level (from floor) seating ticket, 1st price category. Closer to the stage with a better view.
1.stāvs, 2. cenu kategorija - 1st level (from floor) seating ticket, 2nd price category.
3.stāvs, 1. cenu kategorija - 3d level (from floor) seating ticket, 1st price category.
STĀVVIETAS - standing ticket (main floor)

Brilliant, thank you!! Yes sorry I meant ticketpro - I work as a box office manager for a venue and sell through a site called ticketsource, I obviously had work on my mind!

hey
any west Lithuanians going?

I am from Telsiai and it'd be more fun to go with someone rather than just messing around on my own until I get to Riga..

I am going to Riga this December to watch Muse. I'm coming from Holland (but I'm actually from Malaysia). Would be great to meet some people there :)

[HAARP61]

I got my ticket!! Finally! A friend who was going to Riga last month, bought it for me! Bring on the tour!! :dance::party::\mm/:

[Korni]

ARE YOU GETTING EXCITED??

[RuledByMUSE]

I'm also going (from Kaunas) and I think we should definitely have a meet up on the day of the concert :)

Man nepavykti gali, nes neaišku, kiek pasiseks darbe gauti laisvo laiko. Jei tik būtų galimybė, važiuočiau bent prieš dieną ir apsistočiau pas vietinę draugę.
Bet kuriuo atveju, susimeetint bus galima :)

[Zolic]

Does anyone know when the doors open?

[Butrus]

If I'm not mixing it up, I've read somewhere about 6pm (18.00), an hour before the show.
Not sure

BTW Cheers from Moscow you bloody Musers!
See you in Riga ;)

[Chavjeas]

Hello

I would buy one ticket to a standing sector.

Wait for your offers.

Thanks

I would buy your ticket if eventually you can't make it to the gig.

[gerryt32]

If anyone has an extra ticket (preferably standing), I would be more than willing to take it off your hands! I'm coming in from Canada for the show and my Canadian credit cards don't work on the Latvian websites. A contact at the Arena told me tickets go on sale at the box office one hour before the show so I will grab a ticket there if no one has extras!

Also, would be cool to meet up with some fellow Musers as this is my first time in Riga!

[museisti]

how early are people likely to queuing? it's going to be below zero temperatures isn't it? (not that i couldn't handle that : D)

[Butrus]

12am-1pm maybe?
dunno, I'll be in Riga on 11, would definetely have loads of time to think about it and check the conditions

[Korni]

wow i am not the only idiot q'ing from midday, yay!

[Neila]

Hey, I have a question. Is there a way to stand when you have a seating ticket? Like in siemens arena, you ticket is checked before entering the arena, and from then you can stand were ever you want. Is the same possible in arena riga?

Hey, you will have to enter the sector where your seat is located and basically stand there :)

[Neila]

And the tickets are they sacaned before entering the whole arena, or are they scanned again before entering where the stage is?

[Korni]

HEY

anyone in Riga with a spare floor for the night?
i am quite nice and i don't bite

my sleeping bag isn't warm enough for -10

[nalanie]

The tickets are scanned before entering the arena, but there is also a staff inside, who may check your ticket before entering the certain sector. But also they may not... )

[Chavjeas]

Guys, we're next!!!

[nalanie]

Guys, we're next!!!

Woohoo! See y'all at the gig ;)
