Sounds good! :thumb_yello::boing:

 

Do you maybe know how it'll go with the seats? I know they're numbered, but how? Based on who bought the tickets first (first = front row) or another way? I want to know :roftl:

I have the same problem! I need to get back to Deventer, so that's the same train! We will find a solution!! :thumb_yello:

 

I hope so, otherwise I need to tell Kaatje she has to return the tickets or get rid of them in some way:sad:

I really need to know how to get back as fast as possible.

I hate living in Almelo, there's not a single MFCer living in the area, except for Blue, but she'll probably go by train aswell, to Deventer, and then with her car to her house. I asked if she could drop us at our house. Maybe that's going to happen, but that still doesn't solve anything, since you still have the I'll-probably-miss-the-last-train-problem.

 

So if someone could find out how late we will be let in, when the support act starts (if there's any) and when Mika comes on, that'd be great! Cause at this moment it all depends on that. Time is my biggest enemy.

di 2 juni Kleine Zaal 20:15 uur

Het Concertgebouw presenteert

 

Mika, zang MIKA GEEFT INTIEM CONCERT IN HET CONCERTGEBOUW

Op dinsdag 2 juni geeft de Libanees-Britse zanger Mika een exclusief concert in de Kleine Zaal. Het wordt een intiem, akoestisch optreden: ‘It was good for me to strip everything back down to just the basics.’ Deze avond in de Kleine Zaal maakt deel uit van een tournee langs een select aantal bijzondere Europese concertlocaties die volgt op de release van Mika’s nieuwe limited edition cd Songs for Sorrow. Deze cd, waarop vier nieuwe songs staan, is een voorproefje van zijn tweede cd, die in de herfst wordt verwacht. Hij verschijnt met een boek met werk van Mika’s favoriete kunstenaars: ‘These songs are little dark fairy tales, and I thought it would be brilliant to get illustrations to go with them and to get some of my favourite artists to give their own interpretation on the stories'.

In 2007 was Mika prominent aanwezig met zijn muziek. Hij brak door met zijn debuutalbum 'Life in a Cartoon Motion' en haalde daarmee in Nederland de nummer 1 positie. Hits van dat album zijn onder andere 'Grace Kelly', 'Relax, Take it Easy' en 'Big Girl (You are Beautiful)'. Deze hits komen natuurlijk ook voorbij tijdens het concert dat de zanger in het Concertgebouw zal geven.

BELANGRIJK: De kaartverkoop voor dit concert loopt uitsluitend via de website van Mika, http://www.mikasounds.com

De kaartprijs is € 35,00 (exclusief € 4,50 servicekosten). Drankjes zijn niet in de kaartprijs inbegrepen.

I like the picnic idea :biggrin2:

 

Yeah! Although it will all depending on the weather... :teehee: But it's in June, so we have a chance that the sun will shine!

Sorry I can't solve that problem. I don't have a car, and I can't ask anybody... :sad:

 

Maybe we can call the Concertgebouw for the exact times.

 

It's not possible to get a refund, so I do hope you're not letting me down here. :blink:

 

If she can't go, you can probably sell them anyway on Ebay or Marktplaats :wink2:

So, it starts at 20:15..without support act? And it is like how long, 1,5 hours or so? That'd be 21.45 when it finishes..but you also have to get outside, which will take around 15 minutes I guess, so 22.00

And with support act it will all be ended around 23.00 I think..

I dunno how far Het Concertgebouw is from the train station, but I think could make it in time. Good, now I have to tell this to my mom.

I have the same problem.. I don't know how I am going to get back.. I'm hoping my mom will pick me up so I have to very nice to her now :naughty:

 

My mom can't pick me up cause she's coming with me.

Hi!

I haven't really talked to Blue about it yet but I think I'll go back to Germany the same night and take Blue with me as we'll go to a Kooks gig the next day in my hometown. I hope I'll have a car by then. If everything works out fine I can give you a ride to Almelo as it is more or less on my way back. But I have to talk to Blue first and aks her about her plans. I'll let you know as soon as possible.

If I have to trust Wikipedia, which I'll do this time:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seating

 

- Reserved seating, allocated seating, assigned seating: each seat is reserved for a specific ticket holder.

- General admission, open seating, free seating:

A seat is guaranteed, but not a specific one, one may choose on a first come, first choice basis; either the ticket is for a specific time/service/performance, or people are admitted until it is full, in that case one has to wait until the next occasion (e.g. in an amusement ride)

In e.g. public transport: tickets are for a particular company and trajectory, but not a specific time; anybody with a ticket is admitted, hence there is a risk that one has to stand. If it is very crowded, the situation changes into the one mentioned previously: one may have to wait for the next vehicle, either because a guard refuses to admit more passengers, or because the vehicle is so full it is physically impossible or considered inappropriate to enter it.

- Festival seating: there are not really seats, but just an open area where a ticket holder is admitted.

I'm an Oldling remember? :roftl:

You make me a happy woman :thumb_yello:

 

I saw it has changed to "General admission seats" if I am correct that means... queuing to get the best seats?? :shocked

 

Queuing with all of you wouldn't be too bad I guess, but that means no picnic in a park. :sneaky2:

 

:boxed If they where reserved I could have just gone to work but now I have to take a day of :shocked (in my second week of my new job :roftl)

 

I'm glad I already arranged to have a day off.

 

Actually, I think you all made me go :boing: again.

:roftl:

My mom just called the Concertgebouw, and they said it will start at 20.15, and will end around 22.15, no support-act.

 

She's still thinking..but at least it's not a no yet.

 

Edit: She's gonna call my dad now..she says she can't decide it alone. I bet he's gonna say no, cause yesterday he was in complete shock. Fingers crossed! If he says yes, I can go!

Look, if we're queuing the right way, we can still sit in some parc! [we have to queue on a busy street too then, but whatever :mf_rosetinted:]

 

 

 

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too Linde!
