Gig outfit sorted... I'll go as a glitter ball.

So much looking forward to this gig, the last one in London was legendary!  I'm flying to London in the morning, so I hope to be at the venue around noon.

Have a safe journey

So does that mean you can’t come to the show either Christel?  Or is it just today that’s the problem? These strikes seem to go on indefinitely.

I have trains going to London on Tuesday but Tuesday is overtime ban strike so not sure about going home. I’m planning to go to the gig, just have to wait and see trains tomorrow.

You could get a coach to London, there's always more than one way to get somewhere x

And still have to go home after the party. It would be several buses and way longer journey which I can’t do due to my health.

Hello! I have the same problem because I'm landing to Gatwick Airport but no worries, there's a lot of shuttle. For example you can take National Express Bus

That’s very kind. I live in the Uk, not far from London. Strike is affecting my train company so can’t travel. 

I have no trains to get to London on Monday due to the strike

   Was Bougez completely in English or just the intro? I'd love to see a video if anyone has one 😊

Mixed of both languages 

Only travelled to France to see him performing in Nancy. Leaving France in the 11th March and won’t be able to come back. I hope he won’t postpone: of course, health first. 

Simply in my top 2 of this album. I love this song.

Went to France to visit family for the holidays and had my Mika's parcel waiting for me. I ordered the bundle so I have the CD, the signed vinyl with the stickers, the notebook and the t-shirt. I am annoyed that Mika signed the plastic cover around the vinyl and not the vinyl cardbox.

Do you need a special type of chair, or would a folding chair be okay? 

Folding chairs are not very good for me unfortunately, can be unstable.

You are allowed folding chairs in the picnic areas - could someone carry a chair for you?

Folding chairs are not very good for me unfortunately, can be unstable.

Unless you are in a wheelchair, they are not doing anything for other disabilities. I cannot sit on the floor and cannot carry a chair around which means I cannot attend this event. Extremely disappointed as it is close to me. 

Wondering if it says "sold out" on the UK store as they are not selling copies yet. Luckily my family lives in France so made an order.

Just got my access ticket!

I’m at the imbecile questions again (you would think I was a newbie 😆)

but will we be able to buy for multiple gigs on the pre sale ? 
 

and whilst I’m here I might as well ask my last question….

will accessible tickets be available on the pre sale? 

I have to get access tickets and they are not on 02 app and rarely on ticketmaster. I always contact the venue first, sending proof of disability and they tell you when to phone. What I don't like it's that you have to ring to book so the wait is stressful lol. London and Brighton, you need to ring.

Front row ticket, cannot wait. Will finally see Mika performing in France!

Might go and visit family in Nancy in March lol

Are they no pre-sale for us?

French website also posted the videos that you can download https://www.mikawebsite.com/the-piano/

For those who don't know Vianney, he recently released a single with Ed Sheeran. The song was in English and French so I would expect the same for Mika.

That's awesome that you're getting to see them again! You'll have to let me know how the gig goes and if they say whether they'll be back in the UK anytime soon!

(Missed tickets for Leeds and Manchester and there's no way I can travel to their other gigs )

 

Don't know if you're the type to photo/video gigs (I know not everyone does) but my favourite song from the new album is A Feeling That Never Came, could you film it if they sing it?

 

But please don't feel obliged to do so if you don't want to! That's fine.

I hope you enjoy the concert! 😊

I saw them on the 8th and very good concert. it's a good song. I recorded only a few bits of very few songs, I will have to check after my holidays. They were very happy to be back in the UK but didn't mention anything about another too for next year. Who knows. 

I saw them live recently as they came to promote their new album with Banquet Records. They performed in Kingston upon Thames. Going to see them again in London in December. They were very good!

I discovered them through the video game "Life is Strange 2" as one of the characters sings "I found a way"

I think it was a bad timing. He sighed for the little boy and if he agreed to sign more he wouldn't be able to leave.

I can understand it. So his answer "Sorry, I don't have a pen" was an evident excuse he wanted to avoid another session of signing. And I respect it.

Fair enough. Maybe also, if people were still pushing and not being respectful at that time, signing would have made things worse.

Asked if my family could record it for me. Looking forward to watching it!

OK, I wasn't going to mention this, but with all the talk of shoving I think it's needed.

 

As we were all leaving the main hall to wait for the M&G outside, we passed an older lady in a wheelchair. She was sat off to one side with her helper/carer, and a couple of security guys who were trying to move her back and keep the crush of people away from her. Unfortunately the fan group were so focused on keeping their places and dashing through the doors as quickly as possible to be 1st row for the M&G, that they pushed against her, catching her feet. I can only assume that in the crush nobody realised, as no-one stopped to apologise. As I was passing, the carer was asking the elderly lady if she was okay. She wasn't. I could see she was shaken, she was visibly crying, gesturing to her feet and saying "no, my toes hurt".

😢

 

This was actually quite upsetting to witness, and to me is unacceptable behaviour. I'm not sure how we'd feel if we heard that our wheelchair bound grandmother was pushed into and nearly trampled by a group of rabid fans, but furious would probably be a start.

 

Our fan club needs a good reputation to continue getting so close to Mika and having these opportunities. When we are out there as fans, we are representatives not only of the club, but of Mika himself, who would certainly be displeased by this incident. There are so often vulnerable people around. Please can we all (and I'm including myself in this) have a little more awareness at these events. Just calm down a bit and think. Or next time we could be dealing with much worse than hurt toes. 

 

 

 

 I'm shocked but as the same time not surprised. I feel very sorry for this lady. I know that the row I was, we waited a bit befire going. There was no point in rushing as Mika wouldn't be there straight away anyway.

I had to tell off two MFCers who pushed. I struggle to stand up and I have a brace (that you couldn't see) to support my foot so being pushed was not good for me. Sadly, some people are too selfish.

If people are waiting quietly and in orderly fashion, there are more chances for Mika or another artist to actually stay, have conversation etc. They don't want to see people running towards them or screamming...
