identicaltwin3 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I noticed that a few MFCers were beginning to grumble because we went on and on about the PdesP DVD, so I decided to move on... to the next tour and venues. I was lazzily browsing the Internet, found out that Eric Clapton would be at the Royal Albert Hall next February, nearly passed out when I saw the price of tickets but thought how brilliant it would be if Mika performed there. The capacity is perfect : not too big so that you can really see the musicians and at the same time big enough for a guy who -almost- filled up an arena. Plus it has a classical music flavour , very appropriate. I went as far as choosing on their seating chart my seat for that night. Hardly moving on, rather daydreaming I'm afraid, but it felt good .

Been there, tried that many months ago. He won't play there in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 RAH is a pipe dream. If Mika can get his butt into any venue within 3000 miles of me I will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Yeah here you go. http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14354 And also last year I emailed all and sundry with my list of preferred venues and this was at the top. And Sara did ask him when we met him in Madrid, I can't remember what he said actually only that he wasn't that keen. Sara will probably remember.

Lol, whether that is @RAH (which I probably wouldn't be able to attend at the moment anyway) or any 'ordinary' venue doesn't really matter much.

Christine Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Yes. I thought you would have picked that up directly from Mika and his little ass grab. "Butt now, mmmm, butt now, it's gone away!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhh. Yes, you're right When he's talking, he never actually says 'but(t)'- sounds more like the 'baw' version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Simpson Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Ignorant newbie question- how long ahead are tours advertised? Like now for February? Is that about usual? 3 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Ignorant newbie question- how long ahead are tours advertised? Like now for February? Is that about usual? 3 months? It varies. Last North American tour was less than 2 months notice but tickets to last December's London shows were on sale in June or July. I think PDP started selling very early in 2008 as well.

And Sara did ask him when we met him in Madrid, I can't remember what he said actually only that he wasn't that keen. Sara will probably remember. When we met him in Amsterdam I had my RAH T-shirt on, designed by Violet_sky:wub2: and when he came in front of me I said: Mika have you seen my shirt? As he looked at it, I said: We would like you to play in the RAH! And he answered: It’s a hard venue to do! Then Sara showed him the petition we also had made and he laughed and said: You and your petitions! And that was about the all of an answer we got!

Thanks I'm very much in two minds about this (forgive me!)- the sooner the better, obviously, especially as the album's likely to come with/ soon after the tour, but I haven't much leave left till April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can get into any venue within 300 kilometres of me I'll be ecstatic! Okay, I'll settle for any venue in Oz, but Sydney is so much closer!

identicaltwin3 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 "It’s a hard venue to do!" As in 'hard to get it ' or 'doesn't feel up to it ' ? You were there, what do you think he meant ? "He won't play there in the near future" As in 'doesn't intend to' or 'is unlikely to get that venue ' ?
