I did! It wasn't anything too major really, I had a fan letter printed in a magazine in regards to how much I enjoyed The Piano. This is the post from The Piano thread that year 😊

If I ever visit Kew gardens I'll make sure that I'm NOT the fly on the wall!

Hi and @Petite Madame This thread can help you around the forum: You're sure to discover lots about Mika here! 😊

I think your thread is ok here for now. It really would be awesome if the Paris gig gets filmed, so fingers crossed it might happen! Personally I'm just not a fan of petitions only because in the past, sadly I've never seen them make much of a difference even if they do get a high number of signatures 😕 Filming a gig takes a lot of time and planning, if for any reason the Paris gig isn't being filmed it would be short notice now to get the venue and Mika's management to organise it. But there's always hope and you never know, some part of the AC tour might get recorded anyway! For fans (like me) who can't go on this tour then a film really would be amazing! I can't see why there wouldn't be some kind of recording for this tour, Mika sure is making it extra special anyway! I hope you still get enough signatures for this, and if you share it on social media more people will see it too 😊

Did you manage to sell your ticket? If not I can move your post the the extra ticket thread to let more people see this.

I had such a lovely dream last night about meeting Mika. I went to a large arena where he was performing but for some reason I wasn't allowed into the concert hall. A young woman saw how upset I was and to try and make up for it she said she would get me one of the photobooks for free, she asked for my name and off she went. While I waited for her in a lobby area another woman told me that I could meet Mika after his performance, this would be enough for me and I couldn't quite believe it! The first woman came back with a photobook for me, it wasn't only signed by Mika but he had written a letter for me too and included 2 tickets for any of his upcoming shows! I was then taken to a back room of the venue where I could meet Mika, he was already in the room talking to someone (Mika wearing a lovely green suit), I suddenly felt really nervous and also too scared to disturb him 😅. I must have caught his attention because he waved me over to him, he told me that he knew who I was and that he was very happy to give me concert tickets and looked forward to seeing me at a future show. My mind went completely blank and all I could do was say "thank you" repeatedly but in a really quiet voice*. We both then had to leave, we waved each other goodbye as we went through different exits, me clutching the photobook feeling like it was such a dream. And of course that's all it was! *I highly likely reaction I would have in real life too!

The BAFTAS really are a big deal over here for UK television, so this is awesome recognition for the show! Fingers crossed The Piano wins this one! 🤞

Hi @EmRay You'll probably find that there's a whole lot more of Mika goodness to discover here too! Always love it when partners get dragged into the Mika world too

Just to make people aware of something! I've seen a lot of people using X (Twitter) to say they're looking for tickets or are interested in buying spares. Personally I wouldn't recommend using that site to discuss buying and selling. Recently I've seen a LOT of bot accounts that are only out there to scam you. I'm sure most of us here are Internet savvy and know a genuine human from a bot but please be careful when using social media to ask for tickets. Some things to look out for: - accounts that look new and not well established - accounts that don't actually post anything themselves but only reply to other people in regards to tickets - bots tend to have an account name with many numbers in it. e.g something like mika9874517288 - obvious spelling mistakes or mistakes with gig dates - repetitive posting with the exact same wording in every single post - accounts that try to take you to another site or ask only for bank transfers If you're ever in doubt or an offer looks too good to be true then it's probably best to avoid it! Either ask here about tickets or if you do use social media then tag MFC so your post can be seen by more people. There are also genuine fansale sites that only charge you face value too, so make sure to look out for those as well.

It's really lovely reading people's reports and more of you are sharing pics and videos without spoilers now, I'm at a point where I have to watch things as soon as I find them because I just can't get enough of this tour! Love the pics that capture the background images and animations I'm really fascinated by them, so please keep them coming!

Have I missed something or is May genuinely empty of Mika gigs/events? I'm not complaining, I actually think it's a good thing that Mika will have a months break before the summer festivals, he's gonna need all the sleep and rest he can get after the AC tour! But knowing Mika he'll probably still find time to do some work too!

And right now as I reply to your post, guess what film is being discussed on TV? OPPENHEIMER!

Hi @Gintare and welcome! That spontaneous decision probably won't be your last! Seeing Mika live is a true addiction!

Hi, just to make you aware that we can't use the word 'selling' so I've also edited your post here and had to remove your image. Sorry, but it can get us into trouble as we're legally not allowed to "sell" on MFC but you can still discuss things privately with other members

I'm still watching Gotham, currently on season 4 where Ivy becomes Poison Ivy, she sure gives a whole new meaning to 'may your head always bloom' and not in a good way!

Hello @MissMagpie It's never too late to join the Mika party! We're always up for a good time here! I'm noticing a lot more German fans recently, I guess those new festival dates are really working for Mika to encourage more people to discover his awesome music! I'm sure you'll make friends here too Will you be seeing him this year?

There were the Rite of Spring cards from a while ago and long before now there were TBWKTM themed postcards too. Unfortunately these aren't available on any official Mika store now. If you're wanting official Mika postcards I would suggest to keep checking auction sites and online market places (Ebay, Vinted etc.). Otherwise it might come down to printing them yourself. We do have this thread where fans can say they have spare merch available, you could always ask here too:

Struggling to find anything else about this too, it's not something I've heard about before. The only other connection I've found is that in 2010 both Mika and Florence were at Nimes Arena on the same day, so I'm assuming that was for a festival, and they both had sets for Musilac Festival that same year too. Other than that I'm really not sure, hopefully someone who saw either Mika or Florence around 2011 might have more info! 🙂

And he makes people's dreams come true, BFG right there!

I'm collecting live performances of C'est la Vie from this tour, so if you can film that song that would be great!

Edited your post as we're not allowed to use the words 'sell' or 'selling' on MFC, and also removed the price. It can lead to a bit of trouble for us, sorry! You can still discuss things privately with other members of course For anyone else with tickets they no longer need, please say you have spares or extras. Thank you.

If I was served either of those dishes in a restaurant I'd be asking "Where's the rest of my food?", I'll never understand why fancy restaurants only give you one or two ingredients per dish!

Hi and welcome @Deepblue I think with Mika's music there really is a song for every occasion and mood. There are times when a song plays or is released at just the right time and it's actually quite healing. A lot of his music has helped me out in the past too. I'm glad to hear Mika has had a positive impact on you and that you'll get the chance to see him live very soon, it's something very magical for sure! This thread might interest you for more Mika content!

Those outfits! thanks for sharing @Gabry74 @Prisca did you camp outside?

I think this is fairly common amongst creative people (and others). I totally get this too. I'm always hyped to start something new, either a drawing, making something or embroidery (which I'm currently doing), throughout the process I'm usually excited to see where it's going and look forward to the end product. When I'm done it's usually a feeling of "Wow I made that!" but five minutes later it's tucked away somewhere until I can look at it again 😅 So yeah I can definitely relate!
