If you weren't already aware, tickets for Muse's upcoming tour were sold this morning in what felt like the most intense hammering of F5 the world had seen since Apple announced the iPhone.

Standing tickets for each night of the UK tour sold out within minutes, with priority seating not far behind.

For those of you who were unable to secure tickets, we urge you not to succumb to the draw of the touts. Avoid 'professional' touting sites such as Getmein, Viagogo and Seatwave, and instead focus your attention on ethical ticket exchanges such as Scarlet Mist and Musebay (on our forums and Muse.mu).

Let us know in the comments if you were successful. Let us know if you weren't, too, and get that moaning out of your system.
