sariflor Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 That is good enough for me! I mean come on - no matter WHERE we end up . . . we are at a MIKA show for goodness sakes! I will be dancing and jumping up and down NO matter WHERE I am . . just hope there are no fuddie duddies that feel the NEED to sit WHO could sit during a Mika show???? NOT ME! That's a great attitude to have, and I mean it, but what I'm trying to say is that I'm sure that you won't need to resort to it and that you WILL be at the front if you were a bit quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassiopée Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 To those of you with fears regarding the "quality" of the seats that you'll get from Sandbag, I think that you don't need to worry. Based on what happene during the Euro acoustic tour, where they had (and allocated) the best seats starting with front row to the pre-sale, I;m sure that this will be the same. Also, just in the name of doing some investigating , I checked out the mikasounds presale site and I found this on the Montreal gig thingie: their tickets go from row AA (front) to J. If people who were looking at the Amex presale (even for different gigs, but still, the principle remains) found that the best row they could get there was J...then the math is quite simple I think: Sandbag have the best tickets, and then after that Amex and whoever before the remaining are put out there. Anyway, the reserved seating shows in Europe were a massive success, and whoever bought first got the front, so I would expect this to be the same. I know that it's nerve wrecking, but try not to worry Thanks for your little research Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommylovesmika Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Oh Joanne! I hope to see you there! And maybe we'll have more time totalk this time! I know what you mean about timing -- I have to be in California at the beginning of September -- why couldn't it be a month later? Then I have to be in Florida when Mika's in California. Sheesh. Anyhow, interesting about the Amex sale. I looked, but the best I could get was row J -- like you, I decided to gamble and hope the MFC tickets are better located. I've asked our contact if she knows where the seats are, but haven't heard anything. I'll keep you posted. You actually have a good point, Holly. I've seen Mika once in my "home" town, here in DC, but every other time I've had to travel, and this will be my third time going to NYC to see him. How many of us who will be there are NOT from New York? You and the other Floridians, and Vero and Danie and the other Canadians, and me... NYC is fairly easy to get to if you're along the East Coast, so I would imagine there are a fair few of us traveling to see Mika there. Still, this isn't the full-blown "Boy Who Knew Too Much" Tour -- this is just a three-week jaunt to generate some more interest in the US. Hopefully 2010 will see Mika dipping his cute little toes into the waters of many other bigger US cities, like Atlanta, Miami, DC, Houston, etc. Hey Deb! Didn't see your message until after I'd posted my reply to Holly. After Sariflor's post, I'm feeling optimistic! Hope to see you in NYC -- and talk to you more this time...

mommylovesmika Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Joanne - would LOVE to have you at the dinner meet up before the show! Can't wait to talk to everyone in a NON-LOOPY state! If I can, I'll be there. I've eaten at a large Latin restaurant that was good way uptown and I believe it was pretty near the venue. I'll have to look it up. That might be a good meeting place. There is a chance that I might have to be away at that time; though I'm hoping to be here. I also think that cousins of mine from Hamburg might be planning to visit NYC that weekend, so I have some sorting to do. I'll be in touch...

I am holding on to th hope that ours are the very best!!!! There is so much "finagling" with online ticket buying today! I'm sure an enormous number of these tickets are not being bought by fans, but rather for resale -- many of them probably for Ticketmaster's own resale site!

It was nice to queue with you last time and this time we could talk around a nice dinner I really enjoyed being a "consecutive number" with you and Vero! Wish I could come up to Montreal for the show there too! Mika and smoked meat -- mmm...fabulous! If I had no obligations and unlimited funds, I would.

dcdeb Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Or even where we should look for that matter? It's way too soon to even think about getting the tickets, Sammy. It said on my confirmation that they wouldn't be able to get info about the seats to us until a week after the presale ended, which wouldn't be until this Friday. Then it says tickets will be mailed about 3 weeks before the date of the show -- so you're looking at least another week or two. Hang in there!
