Seems Wembely Stadium loves to mess with people
If Muse are the first to play it, loads of people won't have bought tickets (I reckon) cause they thought someone else was gonna be announced If someone else is announced, loads of people are gonna be pissed off cos they bought tickets thinking Muse was gonna be first It's the debacle from this summer all over again ... |

1) muse could sell out a venue that size, regardless of the prestige of the date 2) if someone was only going to buy tickets because it was the first show, then they would only be bringing the atmosphere down. 3) nowhere at all has it been stated that this is to be the first show at Wembley. 4) it would have to be a really bad night for Muse to leave fans dissapointed |

Bon Jovi did make a big deal out of opening the new stadium, I wonder if we will hear of Muse doing a similar thing... |

Regards your first point. Yes, that would be an incentive, but an entirely unnecessary one. And, if people buy tickets purely for that reason, i hope Take That, Barry Manillow or Shiteyshiterson announces a show for the Saturday beforehand. To call this a debacle is entirely unnecessary. Band announces show. Fans excited. End of story. |

Did you have tickets for Bon Jovi at Wembley? I wasn't disappointed, not in the slightest, but I was annoyed with the fact that the whole thing was a bit of a shambles, especially at the time where we all had no idea where they were going to play and if the tickets we'd bought would remain valid or not. That's a bit beside the point though, the point is, as Christo pointed out, it's going to leave a lot of casual fans who buy a ticket on it being the first show at Wembley very disappointed if it isnt Quote:

I dont understand why anyone would go see a band at Wembley, purely because they will be the first to play there. Its not like you get a special ticket for it or anything. Id rather wait and see a band I really wanna see there, be it Bon Jovi, u2 or Oasis. It will still be my first time seeing someone play at the new Stadium.

Yeah, but both of you are on a Bon Jovi messageboard, you're not exactly the type of person I'm talking about
OK, take me for example. I've seen Muse live twice, one of which was a part of this tour. They won't have a new album out before they play Wembley, so for all intents and purposes, it'll be the same tour. I didn't go and see them over the UK tour they just did. If they announced that they were playing at Milton Keynes Bowl or Hyde Park or whatever next year, I'd probably have a quick think about whether I wanted to go, and decide that, in the grand scheme of things, there'll probably be a million other gigs that I want to go to next year so I can't really justify going to Muse. But since it's the first gig at the new Wembley, it's just a teeny bit special and, in a way, historical. Which is why I can't decide whehter I should go or not, but am leaning more towards it than I would be if it were anywhere else |

At each stage of their career, they've made themselve accessible to the maximum possible audience before moving up a notch. Before they headlined theatres they had played countless support slots. Before moving up to arenas they'd headlined 3 or 4 theatre tours. When they moved to arenas 2 years ago, they priced their tickets at £17.50 to make sure they had the audience, and sure enough they all came back this year, and brought their frineds when tickets cost £32.00. After selling out their arena tour in more or less a single day and headlining many, many festivals, they have the audience for a Stadium show, no questions asked. How cool that one of the first bands to play the national stadium is so exemplory of the zeitguiest... If it were any other contemporary act (even one I dislike personally) I couldn't raise an objection. Quote:
Because you left it till the last minute to get rid of your ticket? Quote:

EVERY live act has its faults. Jovi rely on Cliche. Springsteen is too political. Muse are too cold and impersonal. You pays your money.... That said. Muse are in the very top flight and have nothing to prove to anyone. There is no logical reason why the first band to announce a show should be the first band to play a show. If you make that assumption it's your own stupid fault. If having made that assumption you get riled about it, then you are wasting your energy. |

Anyway, my problem isn't even with the band, its with ... I'm not even sure, the promoters? The management of the stadium itself? I just think they could have handled it better by either specifically saying or not whether this is going to be the first gig there |
