4 September 2010 — Lancashire County Cricket Ground, Manchester.
11 September 2010 — Wembley Stadium.

Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday 20th November.

Link

I'm hoping to get a ticket. I saw them in Sheffield earlier this month and they were absolutely awesome.

Was at Seaside Rendezvous.....best night of my life!!! (and I am 37)

The day before was the best day as I got to meet Matt and Dom and they are so sweet and polite though Matt is still shy, can you believe it, in our house he is a god and in real life he is this shy gorgeous man who seems to have no ego whatsoever????

ok sorry for going off topic.... I wont be going to either of these gigs as I can't travel that far, but whenever they come home, I am going to be there

Well, to say Im jealous is an understatement Matt does seem to be shy still, bless him, he finds it hard to chat to a crowd as well on stage. I'll let him off that, because he's just so awesome.

It's a shame how their "UK Stadium shows" only actually include England Will not stop me from going, just means it will cost a small fortune to see them.

Manchester and London always get the massive shows like this because they attract the biggest crowds.

I work right next to the LCCC and I hate it when there's a concert on

To be fair, if they were only playing in Aberdeen they would still attract the biggest crowd.

There are a couple nice big stadiums in Scotland they could easily fill twice over. Just annoying that's all.

Aye, I know. I'm from the North East originally and I know how shit it is that bands I loved rarely ever came to that area. I always had to travel to Manchester or London!

Has anyone been to a gig at the LCCC before? I've googled the capacity and it seems to be about 40000 which sounds good to me! I've got to decide between the 2 venues and I'm not sure which one to try and get tickets to

Hi Wemster

I saw RH there and it was a really good gig. The venue seemed OK, not that I used the bars or washrooms or anything. I got there relatively late - first act was already on but still managed to get a seat with a good view - I'm too old, short and weedy to do the standing/moshing thing these days.

Do remember that getting out at the end was a bit of a bugger - but that's pretty much the same wherever you go.

Good luck everyone with getting tickets this morning in the pre-sale.

I've decided to go to the Wembley one, means I have to travel further but I feel it would be the better of the two. The LCCC looks too open and exposed, I'm worried about what the sound quality would be like and also if the weather is poor it could ruin it.

Cheers for that - ended up getting tickets for both gigs Got Wembley block 223, not happy about that as it's right over near the back and there was no choice in where you sit Oh well, at least I got tickets

I got 6 standing tickets for Wembley! My credit card is now hurting but this will make up for missing them at the o2 while I was in London.

Also booked a couple of rooms in the Premier Inn nearby where most Musers seem to be staying. Now for the long wait...

I got 2 rooms for 2 nights as soon as they announced it that they were doing Wembley again. Paid £256....currently they are charging £520 for same rooms.
Moral: book as soon as you here before Premier Inn get wind of a big concert! horrendous mark up!

Yeah sadly I'm having to pay £520 for 2 rooms on Fri & Sat.

I might look at seeing if I can find somewhere cheaper in London but I've been told after the gig can be quite bad trying to get onto the tube. Which was the reason why I decided to book next to the stadium.

Still, at £65 per person, per night. I'm not going to complain as I'm sure the Premier Inn will just be one huge Muse fanfest

It is good that you are sharing the cost, I can tell you that it took us over half an hour to get from Stadium to the hotel...no short cuts either (they blocked them off) they made us all walk slowly - stopping every 20 feet with police horses to stop congestion. Still, great to be able to see your hotel in front of you and not go for the nightmare tube.

I got Wembley tickets too although there was no mention of what block they were in - did it say when you booked them?!

Level 2 or 5 or GA (general admission?) if level 2/5 i believe there may be a number on your email that pinpoints the seats on the Seeticket website...please correct me if i am wrong.

When I got the confirmation number I tracked on their website and that's where it said which block it was. If they are playing in the round then they'll be great seats, if they are playing end stage I'll need some binoculars

Rumours of them playing San Siro next summer (hope I spelt it right )

I got some yesterday for Wembley too, yay! Chuffed to bits by how easy it was after the trauma of getting some for the O2 last week. I'm braving the standing area - I was seated last week for the first time at a Muse gig and it really wasn't the same as jumping about with the crowd! Can't wait!

Very pleased at how the code system worked out yesterday. Lets hope they continue to do it that way; seems most people got their tickets.

Now that would be a gig I'd love to go to. Saw AC play Inter there several years ago and there is something about that stadium that is truly awesome.
