Muse Roll Call

Ok, so it's a week away, but I need to…

…post in the proper forum for ticket requests.

Better to start early. So who's going?

I'm going, but alas, no extra tickets.

being that this probably wasn't expected to sell out and most likely the tix were sold to fans, what do you think the chances are that people will be selling them outside the night of the show?

pretty good, normally there are at least some people selling tickets, dont pay more than face value

how early would you say to be there to try and get a ticket?

Well, doors will probably open at 7:30pm, so I'd say at least an hour before then. There will probably be other folks there looking for tickets.

well hopefully ill be able to get one there since it seems to be a problem trying to get one between now and then

i've never been to the 930 before, didnt know how things worked, so to avoid taking any chances, I bought the tickets as soon as I heard about the show. I didnt think they'd sell out either.

I had a couple of questions about the venue though. i saw on a previous thread that the place is in a kinda rough neigborhood. I'm a college student, so Im planning to come in on foot from the metro. Will it be safe leaving on foot after the show ends? at around 9.30 or so?

aniym,

The area looks a bit ghetto, but i've never had any problems coming in by metro on foot. You are a bit mistaken as to when the show will end however. The doors open at 7:30, but the opening band probably won't go on stage until 8:30 or so, perhaps even a touch later. It's fairly safe to say that the whole show will end around 11:30. That leaves you just enough time to get out of the club and catch the last metro train back. The day of the show, check 9:30's website and it'll have when each band is hitting the stage posted. Please remember though that things happen, and the show may run too late for you to catch the metro.

I used to live on 13th, 1 minute away from the U street metro station and never had a problem. I would say it is very unlikely you will have any problem. However, it is always better to walk with friends. Actually, I remember that after many shows at the 9:30 I would walk to get something to eat at Ben's Chili Bowl which is in front of the metro station. If you go by yourself and still don't feel comfortable, you can still get a cab at the end of the show.

thanks for the replies, ppl.
Sadly enough, I will be in attendance alone, as no one I know here is into muse. I have a friend at macalester,and he's catching their minnesota show, and another in canada who might watch their toronto show.
Hmm, I hope the show doesn't stretch beyond 11.30, cuz im off to vermont the next morrning, and would like a couple hours sleep before it. Oh well, I might never get to see muse in the states again, so it should be worth it!
I had one more question to anyone who's seen muse live before. This is a bit embarrassing to ask, but as much as i love their harder-edged stuff ('megalomania' and 'sunburn' are a couple of big favourites), i was wondering if they ever play the cover of 'can't take my eyes off you', which I found to be a major, major guilty pleasure, for a group that just doesn't make happy music. I saw them do it on a BBC live set, and it was great, but post-absolution, they tend to stick to stuff from absolution and origin o/ symmetry, from what i can tell.
Not a problem if they don't, though. it is sort of a girly song, and would be more than a little out of place in a male-heavy crowd of 900. Which brings me to another question: does muse have female fans in the US? they're huge in europe, so there's a decent number of females attending their shows, but how about here? any clue?

i would imagine plenty of female fans for Muse.

and probably sorta young.

Count me amongst the female fans attending the show. I saw them at Coachella earlier this year and they rocked! As far as what they'll perform, you may want to check one of their fansite message boards for setlists to get an idea.

I'm another one that…

…has been posting on this board long enough to know that this is not the place for ticket requests.

that guy's edits make me smile on this election day… That Guy for President, this country could use a security minded bouncer. some washington egos could use a little tough love from the big guy :D

We'll be at the show….assuming we haven't packed up and moved back to Canada (land of the free, home of the fucking cold).

I'll be the one lobbing lemons at Matt Bellamy all night.

I'm going and know someone that has (or had) an extra.

I've actually found the 930 regulars to be qquite accomodating for other boardies if they have extras. Which is why i come here first.
