Nollaig

Yeah I'd rather have my own room, or know who I'm staying with. Never stayed in a hostel,not gonna try it now without anyone I know lol. Plus, I know several people in Dublin whose houses I can just crash at if necessary.

I'm worrying now. I never book accommodation this early on, and I've never had a problem. But if half the MFC are turning up, it could become an issue :roftl:

BTW is it really a 1300 ppl venue?

Not sure is that seated or standing, if it's seated then it would be a couple hundred more with standing, but yeah, thereabouts.

I really don't think I can afford Belfast. It's essentially another €50,plus an additional two nights accommodation which could be really expensive, plus additional travelling costs. I'm still tempted to try grab a ticket when they go on general sale, but....it's a lot of money.

I'm going back to sleep for an hour.

Night x

Oh so very tired x_x

That's weird,it shouldn't

why wont the link work for me to buy tickets? Been here since 9.20 trying and it keeps just bringing up the list of dates with the buy sign next to them???? Really unhappy!!!

You are actually clicking the 'buy sign', right? it's a button.

I dunno where I'm gonna stay. Somewhere cheap that doesn't require a credit card when booking in, as I don't have one. I usually get places for nothing in Dublin.

Either that, or I'm jumping in with other people so one of them has the relevant technicalities.

 

Yes, you poor Irish people are going to be invaded.

 

Oh dear.

*tries really hard not to make a political joke*

I'm outnumbered.

Okay anyone going to Dublin make sure you rsvp in that thread where people do that rsvp thing, as I want to know who is going!

Aww you're taking your mum?

 

Cor, I'd never take my mum with me to a gig, she'd just embarrass me.

 

My mum doesn't even know I'm going to half of these. Well, any yet, but she'll only find out about 3 and even then she'll say it's excessive.

I'm still debating Belfast, if there's standing tickets when general sale occurs. I reeeeeeeally want to go, and make a three day trip out of it. One gig seems a bit .... lacking...compared to some people's calendars. And I want more Mika.

That's what I'd have thought. Cos if he was playing a 500 people venue and a five thousand people venue and he put a hundred down for both of them then that would...be silly.

Well, this is MIKA we're talking about... :roftl:

anyone know when tickets go on sale to the general public?

People were saying maybe Friday, that's when they go on general sale in Belfast.

Do you reckon they do it as a percentage of tickets because each venue's a different size? Or do you just reckon it's the same for each venue?

It has to be a percentage, when there's over 1000 people in capacity variation.

...Doesn't it?

We had this discussion yesterday- it was 9am British Summer Time an hour ago, 9am GMT in 10 mins- but as MS got the time wrong for Europe most people figured they'd get it wrong again- and they did

Oh okay. I'm in Ireland, so I include the Daylight Savings discrepancy as it makes no odds to me. Internationally it would be relevant. To be honest, I never know when the clocks are in the right place and when they're not.

I'm confused over the time issue.

wait a sec- wernt they supposed to go on sale in 10 minutes?

London is already sold out!!!

9am GMT, which was nearly an hour ago....

Wow, sold out already.

 

 

 

not if the MFC is coming...

I imagine the MFC will make up the larger portion of the audience I dunno, I just don't think he's popular enough here even with the younger wans to warrant several hours of queuing. But the venue is pretty central anyway, it won't be too hard to keep an eye on it.

Wow! That's amazing!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clearly, you can see I'm not actually awake yet. :roftl:

Okay that presale thread is CRAZY!

Thank Jeebus we've our own little bit of breathing space here!

The Dublin ticket cost me €50 Man. Tim Minchin is my hero and his tickets were only €23. I'd forgotten how much it costs to see actual famous people. So much for Belfast, I can't afford €100 plus travel plus accommodation.

guess I'll see you there:thumb_yello:

 

I think I'll even buy flight ticket this week...

Awesome! Quite a few people are going it seems!

 

I'm actually super tired, I kept waking up all night...and then I set my alarm for 8 o'clock in case my mum was already up and also because I was sure I'd be super awake...but mum's still in bed so I slept for an extra 45mins and for what? To sit here at the computer looking at those teasing dates, watching everyone else get tickets and I'm here with NADA

 

I seriously need my own card...

I woke up at 9.55am and had my ticket by 9.05am.

interesting though that belfast & dublin are GA standing after all, from what i saw on the venue websites i thought it would be seated. so, no sightseeing, but queuing all day... *sigh* :rolls_eyes:

I dunno about that, Ireland's gigs are always quieter than anywhere else. I've never had to queue for anything more than a couple hours ahead to get in. I don't think Mika is THAT big here.

Shaza! Noooo we shan't be travelling together. Good for you though!

OMG I'm trying to order tickets and some good for nothing students are having sex in the room above me. DO YOU MIND?

At 9 in the morning? I really hope they've been up all night, coz who wakes up at.... anyway.

I got my one lonely little ticket, I will in fact be standing front row to see Mika February 15th 2010!

Okay cool, I hope you can arrange something Blossom

Except us lot in typical Irishers style

 

Aha! And there was me thinking my insomnia was just me. Nope, it's genetic or cultural or something similarly beyond my control.

I'm still here. I keep checking the Ticketmaster site to see when general sale starts but they haven't updated it.

 

I haven't a chance of getting a ticket in the pre-sale as I have no idea if they're also doing them for wheelchairs.

 

*worried*

 

I read somewhere on the site that wheelchair areas are ticket-through-venue only, which would suggest no pre-ordering done anywhere would cater for you, but at the same time, if you ask when you phone tomorrow, they might be able to arrange a reservation? It's not exactly fair that you should miss out just because of that. Also, apparently when we book tomorrow (read this on Mikasounds) the ticket TYPE will come up, so check that out on the offchance there's a wheelchair-area option, and additionally the rest of us will find out pretty quick whether it's standing or all seated.

Whoops I just posted that in the Irish thread too coz I didn't think anyone would see it here

This place has gone so quiet - everyone's got the right idea and is sleeping!
