There's a wolf sanctuary in Shropshire and a few zoos have them too! Maybe after camels this is a new animal obsession? 🤔

 

Which I'm all for, seeing as wolves are my favourite animals! Mika is welcome at my place any time!

 You can go walking with wolves in Cumbria, you can see wolves at Longleat, you can sleep next to wolves in a treehouse... there's a lot of options if he actually meant see wolves.

Honestly, if he wants to see wild wolves, he should visit me, but I'm sure that's not what he meant. 

Not sure if you mean Switzerland or if you're being self descriptive...

I have no idea what "wolves" refers to. Where's Wolverhampton?

 

Wolverhampton is in the Midlands, 12 miles northwest of Birmingham. Wolves is the nickname for Wolverhampton FC.

Visit an island,

I am beyond excited for tomorrow now!!! If he does multiple UK dates then I think I might just explode!!!

Make that 2 of us!

I did that. It didn't work. Still have a different password for each country on Ticketmaster.

Meanwhile they've asked me to do that about 5 times in the last few months, and I'm running out of passwords.

Good to see they're as reliable as ever. They wouldn't let me proceed until I'd changed it.

I'll need to have an account with Ticketmaster.co.uk or eventim.co.uk in order to buy a ticket for a gig in the UK, right? Does it matter which?

Not sure, sometimes they have different seat allocations or quotas. Maybe have an account with both, to be sure. 

Ugh, just logged into Ticketmaster and it wants users to reset their passwords, so one log in will access all their sites globally. 

Great, but you can't reuse the password you had before.

Nothing's confirmed yet, but as you're talking about the venue - Mika has performed there in 2008 and 2010. The seats are on a balcony, the standing area is sloped, so you stand higher the further back you are. Here's a pic:

So presumably those in the seats are not allowed to stand up and dance? Or don't they mind? 

COME ON LONDON!!!

They janked my arm and pushed me back violently while screaming at me in Spanish ...<snip>... the violence was quite unnecessary. Especially since I had been singled out and let the others that had ran past them as well, go. 

OMG. I'm glad you're ok. That is infuriating, completely unnecessary and possibly racist on their part and potentially dangerous for you. They could have dislocated your shoulder! Are you able to file a complaint?

In the end I miraculously did reach barrier (yes, I am fast) and had a very good spot.

He also had a huge flower with him, which he gave to the audience. Well, I am not sure if he ever got that flower back to be honest, it was just passed down from person to person and I never saw it reappear again on stage like previous gigs, haha.

Honestly, I'm surprised that's not happened before! It's quite a souvenir.

Looking at pictures from the event (taken from afar/a broader perspective) that was a really good choice.

It looks amazing. 

12 hours ago, holdingyourdrink said:

the engagement from the audience was really good, especially from the VIP area. They knew all the songs and sang along. Mika was very pleased to see this and it made our experience better as well, since they were standing right in front of us.

That's lovely to hear, it makes a nice change!

During Underwater he took Karin’s phone, that was fun, especially since he apparently called the emergency number by accident!

When it was over we waited way too long for him to come out, which he eventually didn’t. So after goodbyes and many “see you in March for the new tour, but hopefully sooner!” we all went back to our hotels for some well deserved sleep. 

It being the last gig for a while made me a bit sad, but with a new album and tour coming up in March, we have something really good to look forward to, I’m sure!  

Yes, lots of good things to come! Thank you for your report Michelle, it's great to share your experience!

I brought my own water (only a small bottle that they didn't find) but the "cashless wristband" was actually the usual festival wristband with a QR code, there wasn't an extra wristband for that, but you had to charge at least 20 EUR (for example water was for 3 EUR). 

3 EUR for water?? Good grief. 

Glad the hidden pocket worked! 

Were you able to get water ok, or was it on the expensive wristbands? 

Can't stop watching the "Big Boy" moment. So lovely! ❤️😍

I'm surprised, thought you had Triscuits in the UK?

I think we can only get it online, or through specialist suppliers.

Well, yes, they are pretty much a thin, shredded wheat sort of cracker. Savory, as you say. A bit salty. I love them.

They do sound good!

It is kind of like swiss cheese but tastier , more dense and less sweet and without holes in it. It doesn't smell. 

You've sold it to me, I'm going to get some to try.

So delete your post as well, please. This one with quoting me.

Done, thank you. 

Edit:

Sorry Anna, I've just realised, I didn't actually mean delete the photo, just not to name the hotel on the forum - sorry! But, I guess the photo could be used for an image search, so probably safer this way. 

Although he has posted the room himself... ok now I'm confused.

I've been wondering the same... anyway, if he brings his own pillow I can relate... you can never have enough pillows, lol!

I've looked online and found photos of the same room but with different initials. Must be something this particular hotel does for guests in the fancy suite. 

Is the M on the pillow for Mika? Or Madrid? 

I know he's travelled with his own pillow before, but that was MHP.

Looks like a flat, savoury version of these.

And now please tell me, what is a Triscuit? 🤔

I have the same question.

I've tried it, didn't think it was anything exceptional.  It's a hard cheese, slightly sweet and nutty.  Give it a try though.

Ooh, I usually like the sweet nutty ones, I'll give it a go!

Comté

 

What does Comté taste like? It's stocked in my local supermarket, wondering whether to try it. 

We need a new tag - "stinky époisses". 

Or maybe "old socks".

I know Mika is singing on Friday, but since I will also be there on Saturday: The theme is "flow 2000 extreme". What do you imagine under it? Just dressing in the extreme 2000s style? Pink Power is much easier to understand. 

😅

flow 2000 extreme

Well, the colour scheme is metallic, so liquid metals would work. Something like a mirror dress?  

Maybe an extra inch on the skirt.. 

An excellent end of year concert, AND perfect queuing weather?? 

I'm jealous.

 Andy and the girls were somewhere in a forest / mountain area the other day, but no idea where that was... and I suppose Mika wasn't with them, so it's no hint. 😅 

I mean, we don't know that he wasn't... 🤔 but no, I agree he's most likely working on something. Maybe working on the script for his French Christmas show?
