I may possibly come to this event too. Sounds like fun! If I come, my parents will probably come too, as they're going to the gig with me. This is my only Mika gig of the year, so it would be great to have a chance to meet more of you guys than I'll be able to meet at Palladium.

What hotels are you all staying at for this gig? I haven't booked mine yet, nor my flights. I should do it soon. Can anyone recommend a good budget hotel in London? It's been a while since I've been there...

I bought the J row tickets since my parents want to come, too. The seats are on the side, but I expect that there's a great view and sound everywhere at this venue. It's going to be a great concert, and I'm excited to be going to London again!

Has anyone got an extra ticket? The best I can get from Palladium's site is a J row ticket for Royal Circle. I haven't seen Mika for over three years, and I only just found out about this London show today! I'm itching to go.

I doubt he reads this thread, really... But in case he does, have a happy Birthday, Mika!

Gosh! I haven't visited this forum for ages. I had forgotten my password. I'm totally out of the loop on all things Mika, but I know today is his birthday. I came to ask if anyone is going to see Hurts in Helsinki in November? I'm going! I think Exile is even better than Happiness, which was hard enough to top.

I will also have to pick up my ticket at the box office, and I'm worried about how it will go. Have you decided where and what time you're meeting up tomorrow? I might be interested in joining with you all.

What time is everyone going to start queueing? I would like to take part in that candle thing if anyone has a spare candle for me?

Well, your memory is better than Mika's then. Yes, I'm coming! I would pick something cheap like Travelodge, but my parents are coming as well (not to the gig), so I need a proper hotel. I'm looking for one very near the gig place, so I don't have to use the tube on the night. I'll probably stay from Wednesday to Saturday. I'll have to pick up my ticket on the town somewhere. Is anyone going to queue since the morning? I don't really feel like doing it this time.

What hotel is everyone staying at for this gig? I still haven't got my accommodation sorted.

Pyysin Mikaa tulemaan Suomeen ensi vuonna tuolla Wienin keikalla, ja Mika vaikutti vähän yllättyneeltä kun sanoin että sen viime käynnistä on sitten kulunut kolme vuotta. Ja se sanoi että sillä oli kyllä hauskaa Suomessa viimeksi. Eli eletään toivossa.

I've written some stuff under this picture: I don't feel like writing a long report here, because I'm feeling sick. I almost thought about not going to Vienna at all because I had had the flu for a week before that already. But I'm glad that I did go. I had an awesome time, and I'm already looking forward to the next gig (in London). I don't know why it would have been a hard gig for Mika. It looked great from the first row! The band was great, although I had no idea that Mika had replaced everybody with new musicians. Like I told some, I haven't watched any gig videos in ages. I haven't even been reading much here for the last... err, two years or so. I guess I should log in from time to time, because I always tend to miss all the great competitions.

Well, I don't have any special ideas for this. I'll just come there in ordinary clothes and enjoy the gig, the city and the company. I'll be leaving early tomorrow and staying in the former Etap hotel (it has changed its name) until Wednesday. I'll see you in the queue! Though probably not very early. I've got the flu and I might not be up to queueing much.

Great reviews everyone! I will write mine when I receive the deluxe edition sometime next month. I have heard the whole album multiple times, though. Love it!
