mellody Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 :boxed: What a surprise. I have lost all faith in mikasounds.com now, there is no reason to ever believe anything on it anymore. This gig should never have been officially announced anywhere if it wasn't certain, it's just completely stupid how this was organised. Oh, I do get it: it's pure incompetence. I just think that it's unacceptable agree. I have a feeling that he would have cancelled the 2nd gig had he been asked to perform there, but because he wasn't, he confirmed the gig. However, as Rose pointed out, there is now the chance for him to be part of this all star band performing the single live. I expect people like Rod Stewart and Macca to be there and Mika might even be asked to play the piano: I really am happy for him to have been given that opportunity and I actually understand the decision. I would even understand it should I now be in a position to have re-booked my flight. I would simply spend one more day sightseeing. agree about the reason, and also am happy that he gets to perform the charity single at the brits, and am not really that surprised about the dublin cancellation. my problem is not so much that this gig has been cancelled, it doesn't really make a difference for me (except that i've been looking forward to it). but the real problem is that they have confirmed it in the first place, when they knew the brits were on! this is just... :aah: so, how about a cancelled-gig-mfc-party on the 16th á la london december 07? we had SO much fun there even without mika... maybe we'll find a bar/pub that broadcasts the brits on tv? edit: oh, and i forgot: of course no mention of that whatsoever on mikasounds. they should be the first who tell about a gig, and the first who tell if it's cancelled. not ticketmaster or the venue website or whoever. arrgh!

Blue Sky Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Oh dear. Not again. It's not like we couldn't predict this one. I don't understand how MS can be run at this level of ineptitude. Have they allocated all the Junior staff to Mika's management account or something...do you think they could sign up here and get the information ahead of the usual channels then???

I totally agree with you about about Mikasounds! I know that near the venue, you can have an evening meal + Irish Dancing Night", that's an idea :-) I think I'l be staying on Tuesday so will be nice to spend time with MFCers in Temple Bar and around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 The whole organisation is totally and utterly inept. It was announced in the Irish press, then on Ticketmaster, they started selling tickets, then it didn't appear on the MS list, then it did appear on the MS list, I got my ticket this morning, and now it's not happening. The words "arse" and "elbow" come to mind. * Oh, and look - it's still there on the MS list!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 * Oh, and look - it's still there on the MS list!* This is the most astounding thing to me. The only indication from Mika or his team that this concert is not going ahead is Mika mentioning on the radio today that he's going to the Brits. There's really no excuse for them not informing fans that it's off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Sky Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 How does a cancellation appear in some obscure place (well to me anyway) and look like it's an official press release, yet hasn't made it to the really important places, like, oh I dunno, Mikasounds? Myspace? All the listings of this date are still up there. They should be JUMPING to get the word out there to prevent people spending money on altering flights or accommodation etc. Just another in a string of management stuff-ups in my mind:mf_rosetinted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes particularly since Mika is not the most reliable source of info. After the DJs in Ireland mentioning several times that he'd be performing in Dublin on the 15th or 16th he said that he had to figure out a way to get to the Brits because at the moment he's supposed to be performing in France.

mellody Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Indeed!It would help, if even he had a clue where he was supposed to be! or just keep his mouth shut if he's not sure. i mean, he doesn't have to know, he gets told by others what to do & where to go. but if he speaks about it in interviews, he should make sure it's the truth what he's saying. not the right topic for one of his gertrude stories.

nico_collard Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 MIKA - SECOND OLYMPIA SHOW CANCELLED MIKA regrets to announce that he will have to cancel his upcoming Olympia show scheduled for Tuesday February 16th 2010. Unfortunately Mika is needed in London on February 16th to attend the Brit Awards. Mika’s cancellation statement January 29th 2010: ‘I am thrilled and honoured to be nominated for Best Male at the Brits I have to take this opportunity to attend them , I apologise to all my Irish fans that I can’t see on the 16th , but I am looking forward to being in Dublin on the 15th.’ Ticket holders can obtain full refunds at the point of purchase and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause Tickets are still available for Mika live at the Olympia on February 15th http://www.mcd.ie/home/fn.php?c=4062986&ar=mika&cat=all Really? I'm a little surprised, but not surprised at the same time... to everyone who was going... The whole organisation is totally and utterly inept. It was announced in the Irish press, then on Ticketmaster, they started selling tickets, then it didn't appear on the MS list, then it did appear on the MS list, I got my ticket this morning, and now it's not happening. The words "arse" and "elbow" come to mind. * Oh, and look - it's still there on the MS list!* *pats* It really does suck... Do you think any of the French gigs will be messed around with? Oh sorry Rose... were you serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The company I use to book hotels are gonna LOVE me! Had hotel in Antwerp then cancelled it. Had hotel in Amsterdam then changed date. Added a night at hotel in Dublin then cancelled it when it looked like it wasn't happening, then added it again when it was officially announced, now cancelling it again! As for the travel, I'm in such a muddle I think I might actually cancel all of it and stay at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollipop_monkey Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 You know, I'm curious who is at fault here for Mikasounds not officially announcing this cancellation. Who is supposed to make sure Mikasounds is updated? Is that Universal? If so, I wonder who sends them requests to update the website and also who generates content for the mailing list emails. At some point in this chain of communication, things are ALWAYS breaking down. Things always seem to be needlessly complicated in Mika Land. Hope everyone who sticks around Dublin has a good time anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starrats Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Maybe they (the people that arrange al the gigs) only added the second date to sell more tickets for the first date? First show is still not sold out, so add another one and lure more people to Dublin, 2 shows sounds better than one to most fans. Fans are more tempted to spend money when they get 2 shows in stead of one. At the end it's always about the money right? Sell, sell, sell. Just a crazy thought I had when I couldn't sleep last night If it's to crazy just ignore it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
