Hmm... no Presale. And Monday and Thursday not a lot of good to people who don't live in London and have jobs.

[Fillip]

interesting .....but about as much use as a chocolate teapot to me :naughty:

[FREDDIESDOUBLE]

Ohhh , there is bound to be more dates mid year :cool:

[guinchogirl]

Thanks for the info guys, I have added the dates to the calendar :)

[carrinevie]

Hmm - just checked Carling web site & rang ticket web - thay sat not on sale til Monay 12th!

[Michael]

Looks like it's been put back. Ticketweb has now changed the onsale date for the London date at least to Monday at 9am.

That's good though, as it gives more time for preparing!

[meimei88]

Yay! A great way to celebrate my May brithday!! :blush-anim-cl:

I hope I manage to get some tickets!!!

[Mika Mad]

That's brilliant news!
Now I don't have to pay £35 a ticket from Ebay to go to Birmingham and I've got plenty of time to sort out who to go with.
(Plus I have a big birthday coming up in May!)
You've made my day
:cheerful_h4h:

[-Jennie-]

I knew there was a reason why I didn't pay £40 for tickets on Ebay - I'll be at the Academy :) Just hope I have'nt got an exam on that day :| Damn A-Levels

[Michael]

Ok according to Seetickets, tickets are actually on sale tomorrow at 9am!

Gah! So confusing - wish the o/s would update with info!

[Colette]

Just hope I have'nt got an exam on that day :| Damn A-Levels

I'm a bit worried about that too.
I really have to go to the London show. :cool:


Hopefully, the tickets are on sale on Monday. It gives me more time to get a hold of the money to buy them!

OMG Thank You Thank You!!

Hooray!! Hooray!!... I got mine!! I'm gonna have one hell of a birthday month!! :roll1:

Has anyone been the the Sheperds Bush Empire before?? Which is better?seated or standing?

Would be nice if we all have MFC badges... be nice to put faces to names!! Secret Society Rossettes are cool too.. but I am still waiting to be added!!

[Cautionary Wife]

I would choose seated if I were going to Shepherd's Bush, for a good view.

Wondering if it is getting rather wild down the front of venues?

Personally, I'd get standing tickets...but I do for any concert I'm going to.
Standing, there's a possibility (if you fight) that you can get to the front. However, there's also a chance you won't have the most amazing view. Or seats, you can guarantee being able to see...and avoid any elbowing going on down there :lmao:

I don't know what to expect, actually. I've not seen Mika before.
I'm guessing there'll be no crowd surfers and such?

[carrinevie]

:shocked: :shocked: :mf_lustslow:

Am going to London - woooooohooooo


andcan take my daughter to this one - no age restrictions!!!!:bleh:

[FREDDIESDOUBLE]

There will be more north east dates for defo .. specially when he sees us crazies going for it!!!:wink2:

Hmm....I have never actually been to a proper gig (I've never been that much of a groupie for any artist or band before!) I am worried that I will get shoved and elbowed... and get stuck behind tall people (as what usually happens when I go anywhere! :blink: I'm 5'2")

So have booked a couple standing tickets too... I can decide later on and will easily find people to use the extra tickets I might have :bleh:

[Cautionary Wife]

That's a very good idea and you can see the lie of the land on the night - and how brave you are feeling.

[Fillip]

I might have to swerve the May tour as I'm off to luxembourg to see Muse :mf_lustslow: :mf_lustslow: then have Wembley :mf_lustslow: :mf_lustslow: ..unless he fancies doing a gig at my house ....and I invite a few selected guests of course ...:naughty:

[wnpg]

Woo Hoo got my tix for Brum for May.

[Michael]

Hmm, it's a pretty pitiful tour!

Only 4 dates! I'm guessing they'll add another London date though.

Hopefully this means I bigger tour in the summer or something.

[FREDDIESDOUBLE]

All sold out I see! , getting v popular , so pleased Im seeing him in an small venue! before gets massive and 70,000 are there!! :wink2:

[Cautionary Wife]

Birrmingham still showing some tix.

CW.

[FREDDIESDOUBLE]

Ohhh yeh so it is , London is going like hot cakes

[Cautionary Wife]

Any hope of any London tickets?

CW.

[FREDDIESDOUBLE]

Looks bleak !

[Cautionary Wife]

A friend of mine had heart set on London. Ah well....

Glad I got my Birmingham tix.

CW.

[Stephane]

I don't see the point of the Secret society if it's not to let people know in advance for pre-sale ticket lol!

Anyway, on monday there will be more on sale I guess

[Cautionary Wife]

Often pre-sale is a limited number of tickets, and not always the best. It will be interesting to see if and what tix available on Monday. For a Paul Rodgers concert recently, the presale was upper circle, whereas on the morning of the public release, I got centre front for myself and a group of pals. I'd made a few phone calls and established that the venue itself kept hold of the best seats. That has happened a couple of times for me.

CW.

[Fillip]

yep presales are generally 20% of the total tix..(I think they can't technically go over that because they have to have tix available for public sale)
Venues have gotten cautious now and do staggered releases at times to try and beat the ebayers.And they don't always have the best tix in the presale.
So if it says sold out don't panic straight away ....more tix may come on sale ..and also don't forget to add yourself to a venues returns list ...these are first come first served, but I've got lucky a few times for 'sold out' gigs and it means you pay face value not tout prices.

[Wendi]

Hey Michael - thats rough - exams I mean - but hopefully you will see him in London. I have M.E. so wont be able to go to any of the concerts, but I will catch as much from tv, internet etc - and read all the comments on these pages. Makes me feel part of it! :)
P.S. Good luck with your exams.
Wendy x

[Colette]

I've just found out, the date I've got some tickets for (London, 14th) happens to be one of my exams. That's typical.
Nothing the next day though...so that's not too bad. Work hard in the exam and have a nice reward later on - in the form of Mika! :]

[RAK1]

London or Birmingham, equal distance for me, so I'm open. It would be nice though if they could swing down to the West country, and not just for Glastonbury. We do have good venues here, Carling Academy and Colston Hall in Bristol, Westpoint in Exeter, The Oasis in Swindon and loads more I can't qute remember just now. Just a thought.

[Strudel]

Birmingham has now sold out !

[Cautionary Wife]

I'm still getting through to the actual ordering page for B'ham.

CW.

Birmingham has now sold out !

[Max]

I've just booked tickets for B'ham - 10 mins ago.

Yeah - now I'm going to see Mika at the Barfly and the Academy

:biggrin2: :biggrin2: :biggrin2: :biggrin2: :biggrin2: :biggrin2: :biggrin2:

[Cautionary Wife]

Me too - and Manchester. Brilliant!!

I came across more ticket for sale for Manchester earlier this evening
Piccadily Box Office 0161 852 1111.

CW.

[FREDDIESDOUBLE]

Im going to see the killers in aberdeen the same week as Mika ! , yeahhhh , not relevant but it maks me happy :thumb_yello:

[Strudel]

Odd, link from the academy's site now shows up as availiable on the 12th. Maybe it's cause i've already ordered...

[isawthesun]

i just booked for Birmingham...The Academy is an all-standing venue anyway, so it doesn't matter about which tickets you are allocated. However, it is true that for some pre-sale ticketed events, you don't always get very good seat allocations...

[isawthesun]

Just managed to get a ticket for Manchester on the 27th Feb, too! Yay!!!

Now, only Birmingham in february eludes me!

[Cautionary Wife]

Glad you were successful for Manchester.
CW.

[Mika Mad]

Once you've pre-ordered your tickets and given the credit card details etc, does that mean that you'll absolutely definately get the tickets?
I ordered mine yesterday, but now I'm getting a little paranoid that it's not guaranteed.

[-Jennie-]

Yep it should be definate. You should get a confirmation email to say what you've booked.

[Mika Mad]

Oh, I'm worried now, because I haven't had a confimation email yet.
Do they usually come immediately, like when you order from Tesco?

[Strudel]

Who did you order from?

Check your spam folder.

[isawthesun]

I got my confirmation email immediately.

[Mika Mad]

It's there!!!!!!!!! :roftl:
Thank you so much Strudel. I would never have thought to look in my spam folder (I am a total clutz with the computer!)
I can go to bed happy now.
Thanks again

[Cautionary Wife]

If you ordered from Seetickets.com you should've got an immediate reply from

donotreply@seezz3.com
headed
Ticket Order Confirmation

Did you print off or save the screen that had the confirmation number?

Help desk phone no 0871 220 0260 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

CW.

[Mika Mad]

Thank you Cautionary Wife.
I am very pleased not to have to ring that helpline, but thanks anyway and no, I didn't print off or save the screen, I really am that useless......

[-Jennie-]

I'm not a huge seetickets.com fan..They always seem to dispatch tickets really late compared to other sites. I remember the panic when my scissor sisters tickets didn't arrive until the day before the concert.. 2 hours before I had to get on the train to London!

[Strudel]

Hmm, everyone seems to have got tickets from seetickets.com

I found the presale link through the Academy website and ordered through ticketweb.com

Apparently they're the same company, although my Mika tickets for Brum this month still haven't come through (See Tickets) while everyone else on ticketweb seems to have received them. Which isn't very good:thumbdown:

[-Jennie-]

Ticketmasters the most reliable in my opinion for getting tickets out in time, most of the other companies seem to run with seetickets.

[Mika Mad]

I did order them from see tickets, which worries me slightly, but I'm so desperate to see Mika live that I'd have bought tickets from Beelzebub if he'd been selling them first!
:naughty:

[Gill]

First, great news - a gig with no mimum age limit so we can take our equally Mikaholic children. So 9am hubbie was on the phone and bought 4 tickets to Mika's Birmingham gig on 17 May.

Then last night we realised... our 10 year old has a Key Stage 2 maths exam at 9am the next day! There's no way she can be up until 12.30 or 1am during Sats week.

Sadly, we'd already told them the good news, so had to break the bad news last night.

If it wasn't KS2 Sats I might not have ruled out the gig, but these exams decide her level for secondary school in September. What's more, I work at the children's school. Wouldn't look good, now would it!

:boxed:

[andi]

oh, thats such bad luck. I hope the kids took it well!!! (probs not though).

lv, andi xxx

[-Jennie-]

I'm gonna check the exam board website and check i've got no exams the next day.. not that it'll make any difference - i'm still going! :p Hopefully they're starting later than that though.
(concerts at the academy don't tend to run as late as arenas in my experience. when I saw Lily Allen there last year it finished at 9.15!)

[carrinevie]

Am so with you Gill - got tickets for Brighton only to find out its an over 14 venue. Now got tickets for London only to find its her exam week - only yr7 but top grammer and not too sure they would be happy with a sleepy girl and bad results!!

Oh well have said will take her to the next one - may be she is just destined not to see him!!

:blink:

[-Jennie-]

I'm sure there will be loads more dates over the next 6 months or so!

And just found out there are no A level exams on the 17th :D

[hobnob_monster]

Ah! Good times for the Loiners! And those in that neck-of-the-woods!:punk:

[Faye]

I'm not a huge seetickets.com fan..They always seem to dispatch tickets really late compared to other sites. I remember the panic when my scissor sisters tickets didn't arrive until the day before the concert.. 2 hours before I had to get on the train to London!

Really?? Now I'm panicing .. I've never really had any problems with See Tickets BUT have booked tickets for Michael Bolton next month with them and I leave home the day before as I'm in Yorkshire and the concert is in Bournemouth (long way I know, but I'm at friends the week after so extended my holiday). Booked them last September but the tracker states they are still waiting to receive them.

I'd heard it happen for Robbie Williams's concerts last year, but thought it was a one off incident.

Prft.

[plucker]

have booked tickets for Michael Bolton next month

zomg, Michael Bolton is still alive???

[Stephane]

So the new dates

14.05 - London
16.05 - Glasgow
17.05 - Birmingham

[FREDDIESDOUBLE]

Yeh and newcastle soon enough :wink2:
