followthesound Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hey all MFCers, I was so happy when I got the news about the exclusive MFC presale of tickets for Mika's next North American tour... As I don't know his next NYC venue (United Hall) I googled it ended up finding that Ticketmaster will start a presale for American Express Card holders at 10am (EDT) this Wednesday, that is 4 hours before our MFC presale and 7 hours before Mikasounds presale... Check, http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/00004315DD4A7A5C?artistid=1105915&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1 What does that mean?? AMEX card holders come in front of die-hard fans?? I find this information really disquieting and hope they're presaling different sections and seats via TM and MFC (the best for us of course), but I doubt that. It would be very sad to come here at 2pm just to find that the best seats were taken during Ticketmaster AMEX presale... Can someone get in touch with the tour producers to try and clarify that? Best, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Chris Hi Chris, We're still a little unclear about all this, unforunately. Mika's managers told us that the 10am thing on the AmEx presale was a mistake, and that our presale at 2pm Eastern would be the very first presale. They told us the AmEx presale note would be taken down, but clearly it hasn't been. This either means that: A) This AmEx thing is somehow over Mika's managers' heads, and they can't do anything about it; B) The 10am thing is a typo, and it will indeed go live sometime after our presale is over, or C) That the AmEx presale draws from a different pool of tickets than the ones we'll have access to. I'm sorry we don't have more definitive information for you at this point. Are you going to the NYC show again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

followthesound Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Thanks for the clarifications, Freddiesdouble and lollipop_monkey!! I haven't seen Team M's e-mail but I'm going to look for them now. I'll be again in NYC one way or another and maybe in Philly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best way now is to stick with us ... we fully expect to have a MFC only link for tickets , weve already seen a couple of bumps in the road and Deb especially has emailed and dealt with it direct:thumb_yello: We will update as much as we can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 OK, I see that this Amex link is active -- I could book a ticket for Row V in the orchestra. I have no idea whether our MFC tickets will be better or worse... I'm going to hold off on this, though and wait for the MFC presale. If nothing else, I'll be sure of getting my Magic Numbers points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Good to know - thanks! Row "V" sounds far away *sings alphabet and counts on fingers* Just tried again, and got row P. Hmm... Maybe the more I try the closer I'll get to the front... BTW, it looks like VIP area starts with row AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO nervous about getting tix . . . but, don't we go though this EVERYTIME! HURRY UP 2:00!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 WHAAAATTTT ?? should I be buying my tix now or waiting for the MFC link ??!?!?!? Not sure, Vero. Do you have American Express? This presale is only for American Express Cardholders. I just now got row J in the Orchestra... this is odd. OH makes you wonder if VIP area tix will be in our pool . . . or completely a special access thingy . . . SO nervous about getting tix . . . but, don't we go though this EVERYTIME! HURRY UP 2:00!!!! I know, Holly. Just as frustrating for me. I *do* have an American Express, and I have no idea whether I ought to buy now or wait. It's really killing me...

Christine Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 If I was going to this gig I would wait for the MFC sale. Not making any promises. That would just be the bet I would make if there is only row P available in the Amex presale. Sounds like they don't have the front rows to me. EDIT - Row J now? WTF??

Candboys Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 And there is no cost to ship tickets via standard mail. Will MFC tickets be mailed out or will they be will call. Sorry for the questions you may not know the answers to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine931 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I don't have an AmEx card so I guess that about solves the problem for me... will have to wait for MFC link lollipops crossed we have the first rows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyD Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I know, Holly. Just as frustrating for me. I *do* have an American Express, and I have no idea whether I ought to buy now or wait. It's really killing me... I have been playing with the TicketMaster thing and keep getting offered tix all over the place in the Orchestra Section! :rolls_eyes: I am CONFIDENT that the alloted tix for the MFC Pre-Sale are going to be *better* then the ones offered through the AMEX pre sale! I just don't think they would give us tix that were way in the back! THEY KNOW how we MFCers are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
