That's what I am hoping for in terms of tickets. And yes, you are absolutely right, it is definitely a different experience with the family, and I am very grateful that I was able to have it, but I would also love to have a solo experience and meet some of the other MFCers . I would for sure be able to also let go a little more when I don't have to have my mom hat on (and my husband telling me that I am like a "giddy 12-year old" ) @TinyLove_CJ, I did see the Level 2 standing tickets, but I wasn't sure how far those would be, and how it would be for me to queue by myself... I am waiting in the hopes of maybe a good seated ticket (not sure how realistic that is), as it's going to be pretty expensive with flights and hotel and everything, and it would be disappointing if I ended up in the back with a blocked view (especially being a little vertically challenged ). There are a few resale seated ones on some site (viagogo?), but I am not sure how legit that is. We will see, if it's meant to be, it will happen, just like Montreal!

Haha thank you so much I may have given them a little lecture on the way there about how this is import to Mom, so please no complaining during the concert But the thing is they love Mika too, and my little one was the first one to stand up and start dancing when he got on stage (sadly though, I did not take a video of that either!), so they were just as excited as I was! My 8 year old kept saying: I can't believe I am only 8 and I get to go to a Mika concert! They did great on the 5 and a half hour drive to Montreal too, which we were absolutely shocked about (the drive back though was a different story ). Overall they really surprised us, and it was so nice to share that experience with them, but if I somehow manage to make it happen for another concert, next time will be just for me, no distractions!

So this is not going be nearly as eloquent and poetic as most of the other reports, but I thought I would share anyways! The best way I can describe my first Mika concert experience is "deer in headlights", it was like my brain and my senses just could not process what was happening, and how I ended up at that concert in Montreal! The backstory is that my husband and I were supposed to see Mika in Toronto, but ended up with Covid that week, and could not go! I was absolutely devastated, in addition to being so rundown and having the most massive Covid brain fog. After the most miserable Easter weekend, we somehow decided to check for Montreal tickets, and managed to find the last 4 tickets together (because we do not have anyone to leave our 8 and almost 5 year old daughters with), and decided to make the road trip all 4 of us on the Monday of the concert and back on Tuesday! The whole experience was absolutely surreal and went by so fast, I wish there was some way I could go back and relive the night in slow-mo. At one point, my little one ended up falling asleep on me, the poor thing could not handle all the excitement either; earlier in the show, he had pointed at her as he looked in our direction during Underwater, exactly as he was singing "Now I know you're amazing"! Other than that, it was all one big blur, and before you know it, we were walking back to our hotel not knowing what just hit us I did not take any pictures or videos, I was just mesmerized by seeing him so close, though unfortunately our seats were to the very side of the stage, so I couldn't really see his face and his expressions full on. Waking up the next morning, all I could think was that I want to see him again! I know I am being greedy, and I am so beyond thankful that we somehow still managed to see him, but I want more I keep checking for London (it's the only realistic one for me in terms of timing and everything), hoping some lone ticket will show up, but no luck so far... In the meantime, one can only dream, wait for the next time, and relive the night through the videos of thankfully less frazzled fans who had the sense to record it My only regret is not being able to meet any of the MFCers, which I think would have been easier in the smaller Toronto venue, but hopefully next time...

I am curly haired too and will be there with my dragged husband, who also got me into Mika in the first place We got seated tickets as we are working that day and have to pick up the kids from school and get them all set up before we head down (coming from Vaughan), but I am so looking forward to it and a little nervous too, this will be my first Mika concert! Unfortunately have to head back home right after the show (work and kids going to school the next morning...). See you all there!

Thanks so much @dcdeb for the presale code, my husband just got us 2 tickets at a table/booth section! I have never seen Mika in concert, and I haven't been to any concert in ages (or left the house much for the last 2 years really!), so I am so beyond excited and quite nervous! My birthday is in April so this will be my present and my party Can't wait to meet some of you there!!

Sure, this photo is purely for the "treasures", no other reason whatsoever

He is definitely magic among us mere humans Me on the other hand, I look more like this when I am stuck in traffic

How can someone who is stuck in traffic and running late still look so gorgeous and dreamy?!

Thank you Gabriella, nice to meet you too

Exactly Lying against it is the best way to end the day

Thanks @silver, I definitely will! Lots of ailments to speak of lately since hitting that darn 40!

Thanks so much for the sweet message and for the thread, I will check it out! I love how everyone's pets seem to have some Mika reference You know, the funny thing is that my husband actually likes Mika's songs, he was the one who purchased the first CD after we saw the Beirut concert; he just doesn't like that Mika is now the only one we listen to and talk about all the time So sweet that your daughter went with you to The Voice even though she is not a Mika fan! I hope I will be able to take my little Mika fans to one of his concerts one day too (come one Mika, no more quarantine requirements in Canada ); they are only 7 and 4 years old, but it's really funny to see them walking around singing Mika songs. The 7 year old went through an "Overrated" phase and the 4 year old was hooked on "love you when I'm drunk" for a while, which is probably not a great parenting win for me . What can I say, it's the Mika effect!!

Thanks! It was definitely fate

It's actually a massive body pillow with 2 pictures to snuggle with on each side Got it as a birthday present earlier this year, but Grace Kelly seems to think its hers!

Thanks, I hadn't seen that thread before, I will check it out!
