I genuinely think that since it happens rarely that being on the rsvp list actually gives benefits (I am on MFC for more than 11 years and maybe I can count on one hand? Maybe 2, Anyway never at events where I was going 😂) and it is unpredictable, that people are not used to that 🤔 or I don’t see any other explanations since as you say, when there is a presale code to use, people seem to be aware of how it works

Just my perspective: I have always been used to forums since I actually was using them in 2005/2010 when it was the social media of the time, but I can understand that for many fans, most of them teens or young adults now, it's not the same, so I get why many of them just don't visit this one and just rely on IG/Twitter/TikTok. I remember that during the years I have linked threads to fans who I went to gigs with to always click on rsvp list because if something happen, that's usually (always?) the way people get in (even if actually during all these years I've never been to an event where I got any benefit, like once I missed by one date going to the date before ) and I saw how many of them just don't visit the forum themselves and would have just not known otherwise (For context story: I learnt myself about having to click on the rsvp list reading on Twitter about a drama happened in August 2013 in Colmar where there was a M&G and also then, some fans were unhappy because they didn't know about the list or the forum at all) So, I get what they say when they feel this way, on the other hand, maybe how these (rare) initiative work could be shared more on "regular" social media so it will be easy for new fans to be aware of how it works Also because, and here I don't want to start a worse drama myself, because it's a *very nuanced* concept, that goes beyond the "MFC" thing but it is specific to people, the impression that we often hear from several fans, is that there is a part of the community that tries to gatekeep as much as possible. Again, it is not strictly related to MFC, sometimes we have seen drama happening in situations where it had nothing to do, I actually came to the conclusion that it's common to any fandom where there are actually occasions to get close to the artists (while I see quite difficult in something like Taylor Swift community, I know there are m&g's but it's compared to win the national lottery) But I mean, on this topic, the only thing that I could suggest is that communication is key (I mean if it an MFC event, if not, the discussion could have the same root, but does not belong here) , to avoid rumors to spread and make stuff and people look worse than what it actually is

That’s me 🤗 I will add few more snippets later 😃 it was also me going around giving away friendship bracelets, anyway I see that apart from fans in the first rows, most of the audience doesn’t know them at all and some of them looked pretty confused when I offered some (like they could have thought I was asking for money 🤣) I have more to give away in Lucca this July 🤗 anyway, loved the gig, happy to see new visuals and hear new songs arrangements ❤️

Hi everyone! Hope it’s not the wrong section to start this new thread, since it’s specific to the tour 😄 Since I have seen many people are starting bringing friendship bracelets to any concert (not only Taylor Swift ones where it all started) and I also started doing them Mika -themed 😎 is someone going to do them as well? I plan to bring them at Grenoble and then Lucca this Summer, the idea is to exchange them with other fans, but in the past I also handed them “for free” 😄 these are few of mine

And still no info about buses at the e d of the gig

I have dm’d them on Fb about this 🤞

I’m curious to know the setlist 🤩🤩

What’s been the setlist? Im curious

also because I would like to make Summer plans

Another article was mentioning going to sing in Syracuse in Sicily, but it's not in the announced Italian dates list, so who knows

So, ok that's an interview for the French market anyway, but he talks about just one album, and in French Wondering if that means that the "other" album will come out more "mikasoon" than expected

As you have already mentioned me I am uploading my videos on my youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO0GAdN0rxpk2j1nwdR5AQg I have been very happy to be there, and in such a good spot. Setlist wasn't anything different than what we heard this Summer, but it was quite expected since there is no new album, hoping next year we will have more new content Arena is such a beautiful venue and he really deserved to perform a full show there, I hope we will be able to see it recorded (do we have any official about it? I didn't get if they were recording for something "big" or maybe just a promo collage for his Youtube channel)

I haven’t watched the tv show. Some friends are telling me they saw these people sitting there wearing some kind of badge of the event, so maybe they were invited or as you said, friends of someone

Exactly. I read that also in Bari they were going to add 3 rows in the front, but then it got cancelled so the discussion didn’t even start anyway

That’s the thread let’s cross everything 🤞

In that way the day of the gig people would be angry but at that point what do you do? You start insulting the concert staff which has nothing to do with the choice? You seat in the front row and then people who legitimately (don't know how) have been given those place will claim to sit there? (it's not very easy to choose which seat anyway, since the first 4 rows in the "orchestra" seemed to be staggered in a different way than all the other ones, so it's not immediate to understand which seat one should take without starting a fight 😂) I really hope it won't be the case

Yes of course, yesterday evening many fans wrote to their assistance email complaining. No answer but they removed the rows from ticketone map

I am quite sure Mika doesn’t have anything to do with seat allocation, it’s all up to the promoter and the venue

my concern is that the promoter (Friends and partners) got several angry emails and messages yesterday, so they removed them from the map, but then they will be there anyway.

I had 5 front rows (and one 4th), in this way the result is that I have one 5th 😂 I see that it’s still a good spot, but let me be annoyed by the whole thing 🥲

Running to the stage from 5th row (or more) could not be a great idea, first rows will already grab the barrier….

People are annoyed anyway, because they will have 4 rows of people who could block their view, and they bought tickets with the idea of being front row

Now I see on Ticketone that there are 4 additional rows in front of the stage. We can’t buy them now, our guessing is that they are for people who were supposed to be in the first rows in any cancelled shows and asked to go to Verona. from 1st row now I am in 5th. Let me tell that it’s still a good spot, but I am still very annoyed

I think the best option could be giving the option to choose between the refund now (which means losing few euros per ticket anyway) or keeping the tickets, but I am not sure if any gig in Italy would ever give this choice, maybe it’s one or the another 🤔

That’s a fan page, nothing official
