Kodes100 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Wanna Meet Mika? Local News, By Christian Taylor, 11th November, 2009 Global pop phenomenon Mika is heading to Sydney later this month to promote his new album The Boy Who Knew Too Much and thanks to the folk at Frontier Touring we have a double pass to Mika’s show to give away, as well as the opportunity to meet the man himself. The new album follows up his debut, Life In Cartoon Motion which sold nearly 6 million copies around the world and went 5 x platinum in the UK for sales of over 1.5 million, as well as winning him BRIT, Ivor Novello and MTV Awards. The album’s stirring ballads and candy-coated choruses have a more grown up feel this time around, but are still distinctively ‘Mika’. Fans would remember Mika’s colourful, effervescent performance in 2007 that lifted the roof off of the Forum at Entertainment Quarter. Now Mika’s set to do it all again at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on November 24. There are still tickets available. Click here to buy yours. For a chance to win a double pass to meet Mika and see his show in Sydney, click here and tell us in 25 words or less why we should pick you. Competition closes midnight November 19. Winners will be notified Friday November 20 Here is the link. Good Luck! http://www.samesame.com.au/news/local/4772/Wanna-Meet-Mika.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakie Doke Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 How much were Mika tickets in Korea, Yuna? Our's were 90 freaking dollars, which is probably why they are still far from being sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuna Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 How much were Mika tickets in Korea, Yuna? Our's were 90 freaking dollars, which is probably why they are still far from being sold out. 10,0000 korean WON = 51 GBP ... I heard Hong Kong also 51 GBP ... Jason mraz' gig in Korea costs almost same price. Greenday also. is it more expensive than UK or Europe gig? People are selling their own MIKA tickets (some good seats) over 60 GBP or more..... I got 'survived' from that "TICKET WAR"... with a good seat... (first low) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Oh ours are about 51 pounds too, people must just be crazy for Mika in Korea!I think it's much cheaper in the UK/Europe, anyone? I paid €45 for Dublin with all the fees and delivery and shizz. I think some of the UK dates were a bit cheaper though. About £25 before the extra fees. Good luck with the contest. I hope you all get to meet Mika in any case. Have fun at the gig Yuna! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it makes sense if he's paying so much to ship the set over and everything, but maybe if he did a few more shows they could be a bit cheaper each I don't know if I'll enter this one, you actually do have to sign up to samesame.com But since this is the second competiton to meet Mika, lets hope he's sticking around for a M&G after the gig, and that we'll be allowed in, or that this private M&G doesn't go for so long that he neglects meeting us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it makes sense if he's paying so much to ship the set over and everything, but maybe if he did a few more shows they could be a bit cheaper each I don't think it's about the cost of him getting to Oz, etc. I think the prices are based on the costs involved with the venue, promotion and basically what the market will bear. Mika's gig in Montréal, for example, was more expensive than Toronto even though their travel and shipping costs shouldn't have differed between cities. It was a performance arts theatre instead of a club and Mika is more popular in Montréal than Toronto so it was to be expected. I can't remember who exactly but someone on Mika's team mentioned during the NA tour how concert tickets have gone up generally in the industry because people aren't buying albums in the same quantity they used to so the artist has to recoup somewhere else. I don't know if I'll enter this one, you actually do have to sign up to samesame.com But since this is the second competiton to meet Mika, lets hope he's sticking around for a M&G after the gig, and that we'll be allowed in, or that this private M&G doesn't go for so long that he neglects meeting us Yes he seems to have these M&G obligations after every show. Any kind of MFC meet and greet is usually arranged at the last minute so you'll just have to hope for the best at this point. Hopefully he is able to take time outside to talk to fans in any case.

Niki27 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The Euro tickets are slightly cheaper, between £40-£50, but the UK tickets are much cheaper at £25. Wait, they're cheaper than that in Europe. They're around €40, which would be sthg like £30-£35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Wait, they're cheaper than that in Europe. They're around €40, which would be sthg like £30-£35. My Amsterdam ticket cost £48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The Aussie tickets at $90 AUD works out to about the same as the Oslo tickets at € 55.20... so both Oslo and Sydney work out to around £50. I was a bit when I saw those prices, I admit. My Vancouver tix though were just $46 CDN each, which works out to around £27. It varies wildly. Good luck to any Aussies who enter!
