    2024 - Mika @ Eventim Apollo, London, UK, 9 April

    I have a seated ticket booked, so i'm wondering do people think it's necessary for me to arrive really early to queue or can I get away with arriving 45-30 minutes before the show like I do for other concerts/shows I go to? I'm only asking as this is the biggest gig i've been to and I hear about people queuing for ages.

If you don't have Paypal, or don't have a friend who can send your payment for you, don't worry. We will accept cash at the party! Also, you don't have to be attending the party to participate in the flowers -- you can send your contribution via our Paypal account, too, and I'll be sure to add your name to the note that we send along.

    Not too far away from each other then! He’s so excited, I just need to get a very colourful outfit together as I think Mika shows are colourful? ❤️

    I'll be planning a colourful outfit too, bearing in mind it will be november and therefore probably freezing, but I'm sure I'll come up with something

    Hey, this will be both mine and my boyfriends first Mika show. He’s been a fan for a long time and missed the London Palladium show, I’ve just started being a fan. We’re travelling from Bournemouth and was just curious where everyone else is travelling from? ❤️

    I'm coming from Cornwall, I missed the show at the palladium last time too cause of uni, so this will be my first mika show too 😁🥰

    Hello! I've been a Mika fan since probably 2008 but been more invested since about 2015. Thought I'd finally make an account to say hello and RSVP to the London show! I've never seen Mika live before and am pretty excited. 

    Same here, was a fan on and off since 2007, became properly interested in him in 2010, but have never seen him live. Kinda crazy to think I've got a chance to now

    I kind of have a few moments.

    I first heard mika way back in 2007 in my final year of primary school. We had this awesome music teacher who encouraged us to bring in CDs to put on for the whole class to listen to. Some boy in my class brought in licm and played lollipop and that was my first introduction to mika. I loved the song and others that I heard at the time.

     

    There was then a gap of around 4/5 years where I forgot about him. Then in 2010, in my GCSE ICT class we had to design a concert promotion for an assessment. We could do if on any artist we wanted but were told that it would be easier for us if we chose someone who's music was already downloaded onto the school's shared documents. Well, my IT teacher must have been a fan cause LICM was on there. Suddenly mika all came flooding back to me so I did my project on him. After, I then brought LICM and TBWKTM and haven't stopped since!

     

    I had a moment where my love of mika took over somewhat as well more recently. I was on a uni geography field trip in California. We were driving down a mountain pass and it became a bit of a tradition that someone would bring some music to play in the car. My lecturer decided it was her turn to choose and she put on  grace Kelly, lollipop and my interpretation. Everyone sang along to the first 2 cause they are more well known I guess, but with my interpretation, I was the only one to sing it (apart from the really high note near the end 😂). Now this is not normally something I do. I don't like to draw any unnecessary attention to myself usually. Basically mika caused me to sing a solo in front of several of my class mates and not feel nervous. Weird but such a cool moment.

    thats not too bad then, ill just go up on the saturday and save a bit of money :) 

    its nice u will still get to look round tho!! hopefully u can find somewhere  not too expensive but thats still clean and nice :)

    ah well hopefully they will be soon!! 

     

    I've booked a hotel, not too bad a price either, booked flexible so if i want and can afford it closer to the time I can add another date to it. there are a lot of hotels in the area, but not all of them are that nice- through research into them last year for my trip to london i was attracted to several cause of the cheap price but after reading lots of bad reviews decided to stick with a chain hotel bit more expensive but it was a very nice place, great air con (i was staying in june- but not really necessary for a november trip!)

    im tempted to go early and see london to but yeah the cost is a huge factor. 

    u r very organised!!! i aspire to be that organised XD

    that is annoying.. you would have thought they would have it available right away 😕

    sunday to monday night in hotels generally, i have found, tend to be the cheapest nights of the week for some reason.

    I'm off to london in july and am taking an extra day to have a look around- haven't booked my hotel yet (kinda scared of how much its gonna cost😲- thank goodness for savings)

    They say that they aren't available to print right now cause they are still finalising things with the event organisers

    good idea! i coming from wales and will probs stay overnight so ill have to set aside a day for planning and figuring out the underground or busesXD

    i was going to but then i thought it might be nice to have a physical ticket to keep to remember it by, but on second thoughts if I'm going up early an e ticket may have been best..

    wbu x

     

    I'm from cornwall so will have to stay overnight, I was tempted to stay an extra day on the saturday or monday and see london a bit, but it would increase the cost of the hotel too much. I've already made a list of things to do haha- told you i'm organised.

    I'm currently waiting for a physical ticket to arrive in the post for another thing i'm going to. booked it way back in january and its in less than a month. went with the eticket this time cause I thought it meant i wouldn't have to wait and could just have it on me, but it turns out that the eticket isn't available to print yet. apparently they send you an email when the ticket is ready for you to print. bit annoying 🙄

    thats good! I've never been there before so i hope i can find it XD

    i just look up everything on google maps before, print or download the directions use the street view to see where i need to go, do screenshots of them if i think i need them. I know alot of people just turn up without planning, but i have always been superorganised haha.

     

    Did you choose the 'eticket' option for ticket delivery?

    I am so excited about this, I've been a fan for at least 10 years, though on and off for probably 5/6 years before that, and I've never seen him live before. last time he was in the uk for the tour with the previous album, I had uni exams so couldn't make it. This is my chance, I have no money thanks to other shows and concerts i'm going to this year but I was not gonna miss another chance! November 10th too, right after my birthday so great timing mika 😊
