Annoyingly wales still needs one😣 my friend that is coming with me is welsh but has just moved to bristol for uni and so she doesn't need one! So my options are get a test in paris or book a hotel in England for 10 days which is going to be so expensive and I would have to bring all my work equipment with me which would be a hastle. I've had a look on the official santé.fr website to find some but I'm not sure if any of them speak English. I haven't had a look by the station though but im arriving on the Friday which is too early to have one and it will be too late to leave it until Monday when i leave but thanks!

Glad its not just me!

where has everyone booked/ planned to go for a PCR/covid test to get back home if they need one? i've had a look at a couple of places online around the venue/ hotel as i'm staying there, but I have no idea if any of them speak english and as i'm going home on the Monday I need one that is open Saturday or Sunday

Thanks! It would be nice to watch the final live so hopefully its on at the same time!

ahh thanks! I was sat there watching some guys guess peoples ages on a gameshow thinking is this going to finish soon

I swear they showed all the pre-recorded stuff last year too so i don't know why they changed it I'll have a google and see if I can find somewhere else to watch it

i was wondering that too but i've just had a look at the tv guide for it and i can't see x factor on there?

It will be my third time in Paris but my only proper one as the last two trips were for mika things and I was there for only 23 hours each time and literally just saw the hotel room and the airport Sightseeing would be so fun! but I would also love to meet everyone and get to know people! I'm staying from friday to monday although i'm not sure quite when I will be leaving on monday yet but everything sounds great so far! (thank you so much for organising this all!)

I was going to take a credit card and some euros, I didn't even know that a prepaid travel card was a thing!

Yup don't worry! I've just done a very large online order bc none of the shops near me have anything suitable, my debit card it crying at the moment

Done!!! Thanks Deb!!!

I hope you get to have your glass of wine with him!! Its well earned with all of the work you have put in over the years and just how absolutely amazing, kind and generous you have been with this entire community!!!💖💖

YAYYYYYYY LET THE EXCITEMENT BEGIN!!!!

I think I read somewhere on the website/in an email they sent that you had to wear grade 2 medical masks but they didn't say whether they provided them or not because I made a note to bring some so that I could wear one under my pretty mask! Although there is a very good chance that I dreamt this

I never thought of asking the hotel either! I'll see if I can find some nearby! Also it never even occurred to me to check if they spoke english, THANK YOU!! I would be so lost without everyone here! Just googled them! They look cool! I love the idea of having your username on it, that will look amazing! and I mean you just have to get two right bc there's two nights

Thank you!! I probably will book something so I know I can definitely get a test and get home, although getting stuck in Paris wouldn't be the worst thing....

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I spent hours last night going from link to link trying to find out where you could get one with no luck! Sounds absolutely incredible! you could always wear it as a long top, you can never have too much glitter! (especially at a mika concert!) that could look really pretty!! finding a top that goes will be the hard bit. I bought a beautiful bottle green suit that i thought could look nice but i can't seem to find the right top to go with it, anything i try just makes me look like i'm going to a meeting!

Oh god yeah I forgot we needed to find a place to get tested in Paris so we can get back home! I have literally no idea how you find one though... The annoying thing is that Wales accepts different tests to the ones England does, but as i'm going on the eurostar too, and so travelling into England, I will most likely need to pay for and book the English and the Welsh ones so they let me back in and I don't get fined if they spot check me back in wales Hopefully it won't be too expensive..... Either way it will be worth it!!! At least at the moment we don't need to have covid tests to get into France, although I will do an at-home one before just to be safe! but those ones are free so thats something. Hows everyone going with the outfits too? I feel like i've ordered an entire shop's worth of clothes and still not found anything! I think the worst/best one was a dress that was like an actual glitter ball that somehow still blinded you when there was like no light, I've no idea how it did it but it managed it I think if I had gone with that I would have actually permanently damaged his, an everyone else's eyes from my seat

I have two youth tickets next to each other ( category 4- 2e Balcon impair - latéral - Row A) for the 23rd but as they are youth tickets you have to be under 28 on the day to get in. They were only €8 each so €16 in total if they are any good for either of you?

That is such an amazing idea!!! this trip is jut going to be incredible, like 2 nights of mika and fun with everyone in between!!!

Just updating this!: I've got some spare tickets for October if anyone wants them! I'm selling them for what I payed give me a dm if you are interested Youth tickets (You have to be under 28 on the day of the concert to get in): Saturday- 2 tickets (next to each other)- category 4- 2e Balcon impair - latéral - Row A- €16.00 for both (€8 each)

Hi! The 'Saturday- 2 tickets (next to each other)- category 4- 2e Balcon impair - latéral - Row A- €16.00 for both (€8 each)' are both youth ones and the other ticket is just a normal one

OOOH I didn't know that thanks!! I might just get them booked then and I can relax! and yes hopefully if we book it, it will happen and we will get to go

YAYYYY not long to go now!!! I want to book mine but you can't cancel them only move the dates around so i'm in two minds about doing it!

YAYYYY so much effort but so worth it!! I really hope we come across an Ian in October that fell down the Mika rabbit hole after your interview and just scoured the internet for days for tickets bc he just had to come
