===Announcement===
The concerts were announced on [[Official Muse website|the Muse website]] the following day, collectively dubbed "A Seaside Rendezvous". Ticket price is the same as that of the rest of [[The Resistance (album)|The Resistance]] tour, namely £37.50 without booking fee, through the Muse website, Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours<ref name="mu20090818"/>/Seetickets<ref name="tm20090818"/><ref name="st20090818"/> and an unspecified Teignmouth booking office. A limited number of tickets will be sold with coach transport through Gigs and Tours, from the following cities: Birmingham, Bristol, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Oxford and Southampton.<ref name="mu20090818"/>

It has been speculated that these twin gigs are what DJ Zane Lowe meant by his "surprise" in store for Muse fans.<ref name="ml20090807">

"Muse at 10" will be a documentary celebrating the 10 years of Muse since debut album [[Showbiz (album)|Showbiz]] was first released, on the 7th of September 1999 in France.<ref name="ml20090818b"/>

===Ticket sale===
The first [[Official Muse website|Muse]] pre-sale was from 09:00 on the 19th of August. This pre-sale was enforced by unique codes given to each member of the official Muse website. Only one order could be made and tickets were limited to four per order. This system prevented the vendors' websites from buckling and people were able to buy tickets for a long period after the pre-sale started. A second Muse pre-sale took place the following day, that time limited to members of the mailing list.<ref name="mue20090819">{{cite/musee-mail20090819}}</ref> General sale caused Seetickets outage, which was still the case at 09:33,<ref name="st20090821a">

=== Preparation ===
As of the 31st of August, preparations are being made on the Den. Fences are being constructed around the Den's facilities to prevent damage from being caused by Muse fans during the concerts. The stage is being constructed on the south side of the Den and thus attendees will presumably view the concert from the north side of the field.
