Mika_Rules_All Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I hate to be the bearer of bad news... But I had emailed Mika's management team the other day about the age requirement for this gig... just got this response: "Yes unfortunately Vancouver is strictly over 19s." Please don't shoot the messenger! I only know what they tell me... I have no experience with this type of venue, so I really don't know what to say... Sorry. That's so sad! I was just going to buy tickets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika_Rules_All Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 We'll try to find out for sure, but the thing is, these things are never certain. For Mika's April gig in LA, it was all ages - they just checked IDs and gave you a stamp if you were over 21 and wanted to buy alcohol. In NYC, we were told by Mika's managers directly that it was strictly 18+. Then on the day of the gig, security simply put a black "x" on the hands of fans who were underage - but they didn't check IDs to make sure people were indeed over 18. So in the end, under 18s would have been allowed in, just with an "x" on their hands so they couldn't try to buy alcohol. But like I said, we'll do our best to find out for sure! It would be great if it turned out like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodes100 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Is anybody else surprised at how small the venue capacity is? I think "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" is going to be a Mega-Hit! Why isn't Mika booking bigger venues especially in Canada? I suppose the smaller venue is better for you guys that are going. Can someone explain to me what I am missing?? Hahaha!

I can't give you references but if I remember right, LICM was mostly popular in Quebec and Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that. I suppose it makes sense then. I still think even by late October they will be surprised at the mega-hit the new album will be. I sure hope so anyway.

lollipop_monkey Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Mika played the Orpheum last time, which is bigger (bigger than the LA venue from the same tour, even) and it looked like it was sold out, or very close to it. That said, I'm not complaining. I like intimate venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaMango Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) Hooray Suzanne! I was hoping that circumstances would change so that you could go. I'm not sure how early I'll be there to line up, because I'm driving up from Seattle that morning. I finally got my tickets for this show in the mail. I'm trying not to worry, but my Seattle tickets haven't even been shipped yet. Edited September 29, 2009 by DaMango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally got my tickets for this show in the mail. I'm trying not to worry, but my Seattle tickets haven't even been shipped yet. Yeah we're traveling from Seattle, too. Thankfully I think the Vancouver crowd is small and mellow, so we shouldn't need to queue at the venue too early. I haven't gotten any of my tickets yet, but I'm not worried. It was the same deal for the European tour; tickets would take forever, and if they didn't arrive, you can just arrange with Sandbag to have them re-issued at the venue. This is going to be a great gig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaMango Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 So I take it this show hasn't sold out yet? I think I may end up with one extra ticket, but it will be difficult to sell it if people can just buy the from Ticketmaster. I'll just post it in the extra ticket thread when I find out for sure if it will be unused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
