CazGirl Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) AT VIV: Yes I am sharing the travelodge. Caz would it be cheaper for you to get the C2C to Upminster and then get a travelcard and use the tube from there? It'll probably take about 30-40 minutes longer but if it's a fair bit cheaper it might be worth it. I have no idea lol, but getting a train to Upminster means getting a ticket anyway and then paying for London...if I remember I'll ask at the train station tomorrow on my way to work Edited October 17, 2009 by CazGirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikafish Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Sara, so pleased to hear you got tickets, I was starting to worry! I wanted to get some spares but couldn't afford to risk being stuck with extras. Since you have been before: How many songs did the headline act play? Vids are wonderful, where they okay about you filming I take it? How far front the front were you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then the next day you can just get a single to Upminster which is £4 then your C2C ticket. Just an idea, might be worth looking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariflor Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Sara, so pleased to hear you got tickets, I was starting to worry! I wanted to get some spares but couldn't afford to risk being stuck with extras. Since you have been before: How many songs did the headline act play? Vids are wonderful, where they okay about you filming I take it? How far front the front were you? Hmmm. I haven't counted the number of songs, but if you go to my Youtube account and search for Union Chapel you should see all the songs that Katy Perry and James Morrisson did. (I think that he was the headliner and she was the next one up, as he ended it and did more songs than her) We also had Dan Black to start, and then Sam Beeton before Katy came on, so a total of 4 artists. If there are 3 of them this time, it may be that some of them do more songs.... Just count how many James did and add a couple to Mika I guess? I was sitting slightly to the side, and I think that it must have been maybe 4th row or so? Everything is very "close" so you don't feel like you're at the back if you are a bit far back even. The filming was done a bit "undercover" as they didn't seem keen, but I think that if people are a bit discrete it's ok. I guess that filming from the front row is a lot harder because in theory they don't allow it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I am indeed still looking but there is Abby and Laurel too.............we will need to make a decision...as you say though....a pricey do:shocked: I'm not sure what I'm doing yet ... as can't afford to book anywhere at the moment ...

I'm glad I saw this- they were sold out when I tried to buy one Friday evening- but I just bought one now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Have they added more then? Maybe they put a hundred up each day on the pre-sale days and then the final 300 up on the Monday. I dunno. It's a mystery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Simpson Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I guess they must have put up more- I keep neurotically checking that I haven't bought a ticket for the wrong day, but it defo sayys Union Chapel, wed 18 Nov, so it is Mika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Yeah I double checked about five times before I parted with my money. I'm extra cautious cos I realised a few days ago when I booked my hotel for Birmingham that I'd booked it for the wrong day and must have clicked the wrong bit, but I changed it, so it's okay. And mega lucky that I didn't roll in there in February, tell them I've got a room reserved and they tell me it was for three days before. PFFT.

allegra Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Well they are all unavailable on my computer. And were since very early on Friday. maybe your computer is bored to buy tickets for London gigs it's quite odd anyway... maybe the selling system want to convince me to buy a ticket and he continue to propose me tickets avalaible... bad selling system! dont try to force me i'm incorruttibile: i can't buy because i'm not UK resident!

SunshineGirl Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 WTF?? How the hell did I manage to miss knowing about this gig before today ?? I'd so love to go! And I love Paloma Faith too, she is very good live, perfect act to see with Mika. Dammit, just looked at my life organiser (ie my calendar) - don't think it's going to be possible...if it was during school hols I'd go for it...

And I'm sure you'll get to see Paloma Faith as well. That gal is kooky fo sho. I can see why they put her on the same bill as Mika. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
