Okay, some pictures, I hope they're accurate since I have no idea what the place looks like

Uh ... No?

Was happy now that I got to know Brussels a little, now he's doing Antwerp

It's biiiiiiiiiiiiig But it's a lot of seats, the stalls area wasn't that huge I've been there a few times, the sound was good for the size, I quite like it

Oh!! That's nice to hear! I can't believe he's doing the sportpaleis tho... Only the reallly big ones go there... Wow, he's come a long way I suppose

Oh, and does that mean you're coming, Kata?

Yeah compared to the size of the accoustic gig it seems a bit eh... Think I'm gonna wait before deciding on this one, don't think it'll sell out in the pre-sale

I'll consider it, but I might feel a bit stupid if I do it, cause I can see Mika everywhere, so I might wanna save my concert trips to Belgium for something local

I was right about a lot of seats huh That is seriously a lot of tickets to sell, wonder if he'll manage

The artist can make it like he wants, pretty much .. Think about Clouseau, it looks different every year

But yeah, the seats are on the side and at the back, don't think they can change those ..

I'm already doubting wich camera I should take with me

Don't worry, he def will.... He's almost as big as in France here... For real, vorst was 10000 places and sold out rather quickly... And that was 2007:wink2:

I'd take one that can handle a looottt of noise

Hmm yeah, me too .. wich sucks, because that's my old camera

(and I don't even know how it'll do in a closed venue, I only know it can handle festivals .. )

Ohooo

For taking pictures it surely will ... For making videos that's another thing ..

He should borrow a stage design with a lot of small stages and catwalks from Clouseau, so he could get a bit around the hall. Although i have a feeling he'd get lost

Wow... here it took him ages to sell 1500 tickets back then

Yes well, don't worry about pics, I'll do that, you film

Deal

But then I still don't know if my little camera can handle it

!

Would be something nice though .. I can just see him wandering around, getting a bit desperate ..

This time, I will get tickets, transport or no transport

I will walk to Antwerp if I have to

I heard it from Lientj yesterday I was like

after that I thought, gosh, het sportpaleis is sooo big

Are you going to buy seats or stalls?

seats are quite far away aren't they? and with stalls you have to run really fast for good places:naughty:

Yes, like the 'floating bridge' or whatever, tho I really have this suspicion he's going to be flying around over the venue at some point, in an astronaut's costume

Wow... here it took him ages to sell 1500 tickets back then

That sounds great actually!

Don't give him ideas ..
