Tickets went on sale at 12:00 on the 19th March 2005.[1] There wasn't a minimum age to enter.[1]
Matthew Bellamy's assertion that the band hadn't played Micro Cuts for a year was incorrect—the song was played at both nights the previous December during the Earls Court Exhibition Centre performances.[5] Dominic Howard made a mistake, he missed out a strike on the bass drum and hit the snare drum early.[source?] The band were able to recover, though it resulted in Bellamy laughing, to which some of the audience screamed.[source?]
Speech
| Before Hysteria | Bellamy | "Hello Buffalo". |
| After Butterflies & Hurricanes | Howard | "Thank you". |
| After Bliss | "Thanks... How's it going Buffalo?" [crowd cheer] "Pretty good". | |
| After Plug In Baby | Bellamy | "Thank you very much, it's been a great pleasure". |
| Before Micro Cuts | "Uh yeah, we haven't played this song for a while... About a year?"* | |
| Before Stockholm Syndrome | "Thank you for coming!" | |
| After Execution Commentary riff | "Thank you!" |
* Micro Cuts had been played four months beforehand, at the Earl's Court Exhibition Centre.[5]
