That was their response - wait and see
-

Man is raining so hard . go away !!!
Right wont be on much , but see you all afternoon time . ohhhhh
Managed to get 2 cans of gold hair spray
(bexxy)See you tomorrow Freddie - EXCITED !!!!!!!!!!
-
I hope they open the doors to the Winter Gardens then. I went past the other day and they were shut
I'm still worrying about what time to queue and where they will let us go.....
Will try and check it out in the morning tho.
Have I got your mob number mikalove=) ? I can text people if I get chance to check it out in the morning then.... (well the people I have numbers for)
-
No-one's answered all these questions; we need somewhere to meet and to do a reccy of the place don't we? I'll be in Blackpool before lunch but I'm not queuing till later.
And please can someone STOP THIS RAIN!!!!!
It has been worse than dreadfull ALL day!!!!
I'm O.K. with a cover as long as someone with a half-decent camera can catch it.....
I have made a golden neck thing - a cowl to wear under the collar of my dress. And I have my fluorescent MFC sign, a flashing heart and my Mika rosette. So with the bowler I'll be hot, hot, hot
Sounds like a good combo
As for plans. I have some people's mob numbers (the ones I have tickets for). I think people are planning on queuing around 3pm ? Other than that there doesn't seem to be a particular plan
-
Yes, busiest weekend of the year no doubt.
Glad you got a hotel eventually Fred.
Ahh well never mind....
-
BTW - I was too excited to think properly - but the lights switch on is FRIDAY and the gig is SATURDAY. Switch on weekend is always busy, but there is a chance Friday may be busier than Saturday !
-
I think its the order in which they were announced.
You are probably right, just a thought !
I can't believe they are filming it too, I thought it was just for the radio !
Quick PANIC - what to wear with my gold hat, the necklace, etc etc
-
Ooooh and this too
Ahhh it won't cut and paste
Link is here http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/events/live-in-blackpool/2009/line-up/
Is this the order in which they were announced or the running order do we think ?
Mika
Pixie Lott
Newton Faulkner
Daniel Merriweather
Will Young
Will is headlining so of course last - what do we think ?
-
You've got my mobile number haven't you? I'll be with a friend so he can always keep my place and I'll meet you where ever is easiest!
I've got your number yes. I will text you and sort xx

Just seen this on the BBC 2 website
Watch highlights from BBC Radio 2's Empress Ballroom concert, featuring Mika, Daniel Merriweather, Pixie Lott, Will Young and Newton Faulkner by pressing the red button from the morning of Monday 7 September on any BBC channel on your digital TV.Didn't know it was being broadcast on TV too !
I think we should perhaps leave the gold balloons then, I hope we can still wear the gold hats tho !!
**Oh, as an aside my two year old has just looked at me typing and said "That's Mika - I like Mika !!" - I'm training him well
** -
Fab! Can't wait to see your necklace! Are we going to meet at the venue?
We can do. Didn't you say you would get in the queue asap so I will look for you there - yes ?
-
My hat has arrived and my cassette tape necklace has been dispatched today - HURRAH
Getting excited, not long now....

I'm going to park at the shopping centre it's open until 11.30pm according to their website and if I need to be in blackpool any later I'll just pop it at the roadside for a few hours (oh the joys of a Blue Badge!)
Do any of the redident Blackpoolians know any good places to park near the venue? And how busy does Blackpool get on light up weekend?
Hmmm - there are no good places to park in Blackpool anymore !!! They re-organised and got rid of loads and put others on meters or expense pay and display.
There is one which is next door to the train station. Its not the actual station carpark but Apollo 2000 next door. Its reasonably priced, and a distance from town (but still walking distance from the venue - about 10/15 mins). Its not a BIG carpark though, some spaces are for shop customers and the rest for the general public. Might be worth a try though.
Luckily I'm getting a lift into town (I live about 20 mins away from the centre by car - hurrah - at last an advantage to living in Blackpool !!).
Just to warn folks, it is likely to be standing at this venue rather than seated. The gigs I have been to there in the past have all been standing ones. You could check with the BBC or Winter Gardens but I suspect it will be the case.
Blackpool on lights switch on day - hmmmm MANIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It will be VERY busy folks !!Do you reckon I should twitter Mika and give him a hint as to where to look out for his fanclub at the gig ? I was gonna say - Look out for the MFC - we hope to be all together and GOLDEN for you !
What do you reckon ?
-
are u recording, aren't u?
Oh yes.....
-
Thanks folks - on the Sky Plus box ready.....

Apparently he was chubby as a child. I was sat next to a lady who is a friend of the family at the Sadler's Wells gig. She has a daughter who went to school with one of his younger sisters. She told me many interesting things about him as she knew him from age 12..... I'll tell more if you'd like
-
I've just ordered this off ebay (I don't suit hats at all - except for this kind)
We must try and stick together - we are gonna look FAB !!!! I hope Mika notices
-
yes good one what you going to put on it??? WAG or mika i think mika will love it. can you get it in gold??
Sadly only pink, I have emailed them to see if its possible to get it by next friday. As its personalised I'm not sure it is, but its worth a try !
I would go for Mika and then I can wear it and not look like a footballers wife
-
That looks so great! Especially as, in the WAG video, he uses a cassette recorder and the tape cassette says Mika on it!
My thoughts exactly.....
-
I'm a bit tempted to buy this for the 5th and get Mika put on it !
Not sure I'd get it in time....but how cool !!
-
Hi Everyone, I'm back briefly (and I will PM people who I have tickets for as soon as I get a chance).
I went to the venue to suss out queues etc
The Empress Ballroom is inside the Winter Gardens and they are likely to have the doors open all day. Its like a precinct thingy you can walk through, so I imagine that we can start queuing from whenever and its inside which is a bonus !
Winter Gardens are only providing the room, the BBC are organising the rest, queues etc so it would be best to email them to find out when we can starting queuing from etc. I couldn't find an email address on the website - can anyone help ? I think someone emailed to find out about tickets available on the day ??
As for autographs, there are two places people leave, out the back and straight into cars (ie no chance I reckon) and via the stage door. The stage door is very close to the entrance to the ballroom, you will see it when you queue (again its inside). Hopefully Mika will come out and chat to us
So if anyone can help with a way to contact the Beeb, that's all the info I managed to get....

wwooooooooo cant wait to meet you i love angelcakes
Bless, I know you do and you've not even met me yet

Meet Up in Blackpool 5th Sept
in Before the Show
Posted
I have tweeted Mika about the chippie - I'm a local....
angehp@mikasounds best in town seems to be Yorkshire Fisheries http://bit.ly/qytJM
He reckoned after his interview with Alan Carr but need to make sure we get in for the gig too ! I don't have a smart phone - anyone in the queue have one and we can still tweet and arrange with Mika from there ??
