Gigs in Russia and the Ukraine 20-24 May

[Hyper]

This is great.

The prices are so high, however.

Anyone is going?

[Xaverri]

30 euros for GA is not expensive, imho.

What does raise my eyebrow is the "fanzone" being double that (Golden Circle) and then the even more ridiculously priced "vip zones" in the back.

This is for the St. Petersburg venue, by the way, and I got those prices from this picture that they link on the partner site:



Tomorrow will tell what it's going to cost for real, I guess!

And yes, I am aiming for the St. Petersburg-one. Me and my brother have always wanted to go on a holiday to that beautiful town (and country!), and this is going to be my brother's first Muse gig. It is ALSO one day after his birthday.

If that ain't fate I don't know what is, any more!

According to currency converters, it's about the same price as they usually charge in recent times.

But oh boy. Will we be getting new songs already? :O

@Kenshin:

I doubt it, they'll be touring with U2 the month before, and won't start recording stuff until the end of this summer.

What I wonder is if it's going to be the towers or the festival - stage. (Not counting on the stadium-tour-stage at all)

And about the prices: I haven't seen an increased price for the GC before. But that could just be me.

Dom said last week that matt was already having ideas and was playing some piano chords to dom. Maybe you'll hear like 10 seconds of those chords being played just before a piano song like FG/RBS

this is an outrage.
if you find prices for St.Petersburg ridiculous how about 85 pounds for Ukraine,huh?
this is bullshit.
Ukrainian fans are trying to contact the band or the management, someone, because no one can afford it.
so if you can help here's a facebook group

spread the word, please

[Kenshin11212]

Just because it's not recorded doesnt mean they won't play it. We could possibly just get little riffs/piano pieces of future songs like they sometimes do.

I joined. I'm the American who posted It truly is bullshit. It's completely unfair that you would have to pay so much. Since it's their first ever show there, you'd think that they wouldn't want to lose what fans they have there by trying to cheat them out of so much money.

actually it's their second show here.they came to ukraine in 2007.but the prices back then were so much lower.
in 2007 - 200-300 UAH
this gig - 1100 UAH

and ukraine is not that rich
i mean avarage salary is 2000 UAH
so this really sucks.i can't afford it.i think i'll be one of the fans who'll stand outside the arena with angry posters

[leetroot]

wow i would love to go to one of these - a bit more notice of the ticket sales for planning would have been helpful though.

I think its mostly down to the venues, most bands often speak out about how they hate that their jump to much larger venues means their fans are being ripped off. I'd advise contacting the venue as well as the band, so both parties are aware at the amount of disappointment there is.

[leetroot]

what does this mean?

Orders will be taken from 10:00 on Friday 4th March with physical sales at 10:00 on Wednesday 9th March from the link below.

do you have to go on once to order and once to pay?
