This brings me way back to: "(...) nice manly angles, just square enough, definitely a wallet".

Thanks for your explanation! Because of the reasons you've mentioned, I normally don't take any insurance on concert tickets. So I was suprised that this amount is on my invoice. It might be that I missed a box that I had to 'uncheck', but I can 't remember. Therefore I want to check if anyone else has this amount on their invoice.

It remains surreal that I will soon travel to Bari without seeing the planned Mika concerts... Have partially (ex. service charges/costs) received my refund for the tickets from Ticketone. Even though Deb has indicated that she is 'working' on this, I have also taken a look at the service charges/costs myself. There is an item for 'Assicurazione' (insurance?) on my invoices. I don't remember taking any insurance... It's part of the non-refunded amount. My question is whether everyone has this on their Ticketone invoice?

Thanks a lot! Also for all the other information you've shared on here.

Was wondering exactly the same... I have submitted my application for refund to Ticketone.it and see that I am 40 euros short. So service costs and pre-sale costs are not reimbursed. On the website it says that this depends on the organiser and not Ticketone.it. @dcdeb is there still something to arrange through management of Mika?

Hello Susan, I only now see your post on the forum; welcome to MFC! In response to your question of whether any non-Italian fans are coming to Bari... I am from the Netherlands and will hopefully get on a plane in September to see Mika in Bari. I am really looking forward to it! I haven't planned everything yet, but I will probably stay a week and enjoy the surroundings with my mother (besides the concert). So if you have any tips, they are certainly welcome I have already made a note of Matera. And maybe we can meet (with some other fans) before one of the two concert days; after all, we have the luxury of fixed seats, so we don't have to queue for hours.

So sorry to hear, big hug to every fan in Boston! Hope you all can still get together and have a good time. Sending all my positive thoughts to Mika; hope he will recover soon (not Mika soon, but really soon).

So happy, got my tickets! Thanks for all the efforts Deb and other MFC-mods!

If someone would like to do that, I would be very happy with that too. Especially on the second evening, Mika talked a lot, but unfortunately I couldn't get any further than understanding a couple of words. Still can't believe I was there both evenings. So overwhelming to hear Mika perform with such an amazing symphony orchestra and choir. Feel so privileged! I have great respect for the way Mika took us through his emotions. The first evening I sat at the last row of the parterre and the second evening I sat on the chaises (thanks again @Isabelle Lagneau ). During that second concert, Mika's music and appearence touched me tremendously. I'm not easily emotional, but the way he put his heart and soul into his performance.... whoah! It was an emotional rollercoaster. I wish every fan the chance to experience an evening like this!

Thanks to @Isabelle Lagneau I've wonderful places so I'm no longer searching for tickets; so happy!

Just send you a private message.

Got the option to put myself on the waiting list just a couple of seconds ago, so I did.

Haha, you're absolutely right!

Next time I'll hire you!

Me too! And now I'm finally in, I get the message that there are insufficient tickets (even when I select just 1 ticket). Oh boy, that website just doesn't like me

Oh, I feel so stupid! Kept checking the gig thread for the MFC presale every hour hoping that there would be a MFC presale... Until I suddenly read last night in the gig thread that the presale has already taken place (it was on the members only page). My horoscope predicted it to some extent (see image), so I could have known. Translation from Dutch: Taurus. Arriving just late for work, seeing the train leave in front of you, not getting through online for tickets. Your timing is rather off. Plan for a bit more margin than you think you'll need. Well, I'm glad I managed to get tickets at all in the subscriptions sales, but I was secretly hoping for 2 tickets for 'Parterre chaises'. Although I think the chance is small (minuscule, haha), I'm going to throw it in anyway: Does anyone have two spare tickets for Sunday 24th of October in parterre chaises? Please send me a DM. -> Found tickets!

Edited the post with a new audio file. Hope it works!

To stay with the Eurovision song contest... Just heard a snippet of the episode 'Day after' of 'De officiële songfestival podcast'. They are interviewing Graham Norton and ask him about the contestant on behalf of the UK next year. You can already guess who he mentions as a participant The day after - De officiële songfestival podcast.wav

Oh boy, I'm at least ten years older now, but got my tickets!

Don't see Mika in the list of Octobre 2021 anymore... I'm afraid it's sold out... There it is again...

Nope, I'm also still waiting! But happy for everyone that already got their tickets!

You're not the only one, me too!

Same over here... Now I'm back in line...

Watching right now: I've no words... I'm so overwhelmed by this amazing concert!

Thank you very much for the recordings Mellody (also for the first 'Cooking with Mika')!
