Ukrainian Muse fans against inflated prices for the concert!

[Tofu]

Good luck, guys!

Dear Muse! I know, most likely on you nothing depends, but if you can though by something to affect decrease(reduction) of the price of the ticket on your concert in Kiev! The fans will be very grateful to you! A little who can afford the ticket in the price 100euro, and wishing to reach on a concert it is a lot of!!! I like and I adore you! Thanks!

The price was probably decided by the venue not Muse but fair play for trying. If they don't change their minds you can always buy seating tickets instead.

there's only one way to finally prove something in our country - boycott the thing.
it's time to choose your priorities.

I fully support your protest!! Good luck guys!

Hi, so I live never ever post here, just occasionally lurk, but this is one of the most IGNORANT posts I've ever seen and I had to reply. People in the Ukraine make A LOT less money than anyone in the US, which I noticed you're from. Saying that money will not come between them and Muse is just wrong. Some might give up most of their monthly salary- you know they need money for food and rent and stuff- to see Muse. Besides, this whole thing about 'real muse fans' is so old. People don't have to give up so much to be a 'real' fan You can't give up vitals in your life for a band, even if you absolutely adore them.

Don't know if people in the Ukraine will get the prices down, but good luck to you! Hope things work out so you guys get to see what you obviously know is a great band.

This is the most bullshit statement I've ever heard. Nothing worse than a mindless drone of a fan...

[Xaverri]

Good luck, Ukrainian fans! I hope you guys are able to make a difference. And Olly, with all due respect, Matt would be ashamed to hear you speak like that. Ever heard this song called "Uprising"?

But then again, it is THEM in the end, causing this. If they really stand by their fans they would've never agreed to such ridiculous prices (in comparison to the Ukrainian-people's salary).

This does leave a nasty taste in one's mouth...

Well that's a load of shit

Dear representatives of Muse band!

We are very pleased that our favorite band will come to us with a gig in Ukraine on May, 24th. We've been waiting for this for 4 years and it finally happened!

But now we are facing a big problem - the tickets' price. We understand that bringing such a great band to Kyiv is a very expensive thing. But not that much! With an average salary of $120-140 and scholarships of $80, price for the concert varies from $70 to $140. This is hardly possible in our conditions. A huge number of fans from all over Ukraine will not be able to attend this fantastic gig. We are asking you - if it is in your jurisdiction - to assist us in this matter and make the organizers to reduce the price.
We are trying to find some sponsors, we appeal to mass media, but the time is almost out - tickets will be in sale tomorrow, we had only one or two days for everything.

Dear Muse, your songs have inspired us and gave strength to fight for our rights! So we are fighting. For our rights and for the chance to thank you back. Thank you for being there.
We will be victorious.

Thanx for your attention.

With all love and deep respect,
Muse fans of Ukraine.

+1 agree


I really hope you will be succesful with decreasing the prices! This is just wrong. I understand that this is not Muse fault, but organizers should put the prices in proportion with standard in the country. It`s just not fair and it makes me sad. So good luck Ukraine!!

We did a campain against that on twitter and other midias and they low the prices to R$500 (£186), still expensive, but £186 it's better than £223 . I think it worth at least try..

Good luck guys

yeah this sort of thing has happened before. I remember last year something about fans in Israel threatening to boycott Metallica's only gig in the country because of prices, and after a few days the band themselves got involved to cut down the prices. so best of luck getting this recognised by the right people
