lollipop_monkey Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 I'm starting to get a bit anxious about this...the date has been removed from Mikasounds and the description on the top says that the tour finishes in Seattle!http://www.mikasounds.com/news/view/617/North_American_Tour_Pre-Sale I saw that too. I'm starting to worry that by "rescheduled" they mean "for the next time Mika tours North America, a year from now." We'll get answers as soon as we can, guys, but them changing the wording on Mikasounds isn't promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaMango Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) Thanks for letting us know! Same date, new location, The Commodore Ballroom. But wow, $46.40 and general admission? That's a wee bit pricier than I was expecting. I may have to think about this for a second... Edit: I'd better not take too long to decide, because the capacity is 990, about 1,800 less than the Orpheum. I wouldn't want it to sell out. At least there's no race for the best seats, since it's GA. Edited August 28, 2009 by DaMango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I got my tickets! But yeah, they are hella expensive. Especially for the Commodore Ballroom. Not that it's a bad venue, in fact it's one of Vancouver's BEST live music venues (great for sound and rubber tires underneath floor so that once the crowd gets heaving and dancing, the floor is springy underneath you). But it's general admission instead of not assigned seats which to me sucks because I do want to be close to the stage (and I would have chosen that if available in seats) but I don't wanna be too close if it's just standing room only and everyone's pushing and shoving each other... u know what I mean ;-) Anyway, tickets are $46.40 plus $4.70 Handling plus $6.20 Shipping. That's ALOT of money for a show at the Commodore. But, it's Mika, and we love him so what the ****, right? Ya only live once!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMango Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Thanks for the details about the venue, Kent! It sounds great. Yeah, the pushing and shoving at GA gigs can get out of hand. Let's hope people are polite that day, LOL! I'm still weighing the decision, but you're right, Mika is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay and is it at the commodore ballroom or the orpheum? in Vancouver. Cause everywhere it says something else It's the Commodore Ballroom and I can't make you any promises but I would think it's all ages, as the rest of the gigs are. I suggest you call the venue and ask rather than wait any longer to purchase tickets because this will sell out quickly once they are available to the general public.

Finnegan Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) anyone know the age limit??? It would make my day if you said all ages. Okay and is it at the commodore ballroom or the orpheum? in Vancouver. Cause everywhere it says something else In my experience at the Commodore, it's usually 19+ because they serve alcohol (but maybe it's different for Mika?). It's really a shame b/c there a lot of young Mika fans who want to see him in concert. Edit: I checked the Toronto venue and it is an all ages show while some of their other concerts are 19+. So I'm thinking it might be all ages at the Commodore. So maybe the ticket price is higher since the venue can't serve alcohol?

Christine Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 All ages shows are very common now in clubs serving alcohol, especially for Mika. He had one 18+ show in June in NYC but this was unusual and I still expect this is likely to be all ages unless we hear otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMango Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Oh gracious, I took the plunge and bought tickets for this show. My poor credit card! I still haven't gotten approval from work to take the needed days off, but here's hopin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhMyMika!! Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) if it's 19+ then i'm underage!! and i've bought 2 tickets already!! EDIT: just check their web site and even Colbie Caillat's show is 19+... Edited August 28, 2009 by OhMyMika!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 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!
