FREDDIESDOUBLE Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I'm just trying to ring the Academy about the exact details of the priority queue to clarify, but their phone line isn't great. And their customer service line is 25p per minute, so I guess I'm having to wait. ETA: I've just got off the phone after like a 20 minute wait and all you need to do is show the doorman you're on O2 and you get through into the queue. Wow ... looking forward to how they organise this ... die hard Mika fans some on networks , some not ... Feels "messy" hope I am proven wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Wow ... looking forward to how they organise this ... die hard Mika fans some on networks , some not ... Feels "messy" hope I am proven wrong I'm gonna pop out and get a cheap O2 phone today. I think they have some bricks for about £15 so it's definitely gonna be worth it, and I can use it for all the gigs I ever go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they will look at the sim? It is giving me the shivers you know? .. two Q's .. one 02 one not , people apart .. We could do with an overall yes it will happen this way across all venues .. although it does seem to be that way huh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some phones lock if the sim card is taken out...But yeah I'm not liking this, I may be on O2 but it sounds like the die hard fans are being punished for not being on the network. I don't know if they'll look at the sims or look at the front of the phone and see if it says O2-UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem very unfair but I suppose it's just business to them, isn't it? And hey, it's working, cos I'm going out to buy a phone later. Psssht.

Ruth Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 4 DAYS GUYS! I have this fear that I'm going to walk past one of you without knowing who you are I'm considering having MFC on my cheek just to make sure If we don't talk to you, you talk to us. Someone didn't talk at Dublin because they were too shy. Overcome it! i'm going to sssooo can't wait !!! just a quick question, does Mika take pictures with his fans after the show ??? Expect NOTHING! All you get is the gig. That's what you're going for. Thinking of practicalities, what will people do about coats/bags? Do you have to keep them with you during the gig (which'd be a pain) or is there a cloakroom/left luggage place at the O2 where they can be left, does anyone know? There will be a cloakroom but in the time it takes to check your things in, the room fills up! (I learnt that at my first gig) We all kept coats etc - actually it was chilly in Dublin right until Mika came on. It reminds me of one the early gigs I did .. he played Birmingham and we were all in the Q , then ANOTHER Q appeared .. everyone that bought a drink in the bar there (carling it was) had priority:shocked: Weren't there two at the infamous Leeds gig too? A priority queue or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean you don't even have to be signed up to the "priority service." You just need to show them that your on 02? (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
