B!anka Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 arghhh...you know...I love all this exquisity...whatever...but it just annoys me all this mystery and secret codes games...I mean I don't want it to be simple and random, though random is nice and fun...but not this complicated either...I don't know, am I the only one who doesn't like this kind of surprises either? I sometimes think of what this guy IS able to do: make people pretend sickness and skip work to stay home and check everything, throw their last penny on tickets for a gig 2000 miles away (that would be me:mf_rosetinted:) and expect things they have no idea about. Oh and yeah, buy their seated tickets, with no ability of choosing or at least knowing their seats' numbers at the time of purchase. I don't know whether this whole plan-game is made by Mika himself for fun or it's just a marketing thing. If it is made by Mika for fun I would like to tell him something: I love what you're doing, I love your work, you can see I'll get all the way to Paris to see you,and amazingly as it is your fans have spent a lot of time and energy and money and waited at impossible hours for a life-sign of a new tour. so you should keep on doing your job well, young man! jokes aside...I feel as if we've put sooo much energy into this tour (I've never done this before for another artist!!!) and I can't believe it firstly that I am not the only one, but secondly that there are older people that me who do this...that amazes me somehow. . It is exciting but sooo nervewracking on the other hand...you have to admit it has it's bad sides. If this is made for marketing...what can I say? You've got what you've wanted, though I've always known Mika was the kind of guy who doesn't make music for money, right? I don't know...I seem to have all these mixed feeling about it, and I honestly start to think wheter this first gig won't change my mind whatsoever about Mika...I reallly hope not, because I've had the time of my life as a Mika-fan and I just thought this was only the beggining. But, still I think that I was probably happier when I knew that this "first-gig" is something I had to only dream of, and the probability of becoming true was unsure. I should probably shut up now...I've said enough and nothing clear...I must be the most worried fan around here. But i just want to spill it out somewhere...please understand!

French Deb Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 for those who did not receive confirmation mails, mail Sandbag back. Someone I know did and even get her codes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariflor Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Bianca, that email doesn't come from MFC, so we are as in the darkabout it as everyone else. It'll come when it comes... and it being a bank holiday tomorrow, I wonder if it will even come then? I have a feeling they might not have remembered when they chose the May 25th date! I don't know Deb, this poor Helen person seems to work very late nights and generally "unsociable" hours, so she may as well be working the Bank Holiday . I guess that we shall see tomorrow. Or, at worst, 'top of tomorrow' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violet_sky Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Erm, shouldn't you hide the code Sara? I doubt her code is xyzabc123.... makes me think of the Jackson Five in a very weird way.... and it is also a bit uncreative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariflor Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Erm, shouldn't you hide the code Sara? What sort of moron do you take me for? That one was 'unrandomly' generated by moi. My real codes are safely kept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I did toy with the idea of making one that looked like the real ones, but then I thought that maybe by sheer chance I'd make it like a 'winner' and then someone would have their special prie or whatever it is taken away by some random reader . So hence why the uncreative code by me. I was going to start ABC123 etc but decided to give it a twist and go backwards instead. Obviously not creative enough for the likes of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilek Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 for those who did not receive confirmation mails, mail Sandbag back.

Thanks for taking time reading my post...it's huge! sometimes I scare myself with how many things I can say and yet have nothing to say You know, this is what I am expecting too!!! I was talking to my mum last evening about what is it that inspires me so much at Mika? I told her that is this ability of his, of making his fans do what they're doing...THAT"S FANTASTIC!!!

Fmbm Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 "9 til 5"? It's the Dolly Parton song that usually plays in the speakers right before Mika comes out. Though it didn't play at the secret gig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikafish Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 It's the Dolly Parton song that usually plays in the speakers right before Mika comes out. Though it didn't play at the secret gig Can't imagine they'll do it at these gigs either, think I'll miss it in a weird way! When that song comes on the atmosphere in the venue changes!
