But not 100% sure and anyway it can be different in October. I really hope so because I don't have a fancy rain jacket stylish enough to keep it in the venue for the gig...

Hopefully a part of places will be empty so we can always put our coats on the place next to us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same.. having a wrap/big scarf and possibly an umbrella would also be an option though. A wrap is easier to stow away than a heavier jacket, unless you find a really light and classy option for a weather resistent jacket, then please share!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I usually take a foldable bag, put my stuff in there and store it under the chair at seated gigs. At least there people don't step on it like in a standing concert. 😅 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, I'm not planning to spend much time in my hotel room anyway On the other hand, if I'm not going to wear a nice elegant outfit for this special occasion, then when? I'm fed up with wearing crumpled clothes during the lockdown 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fed up with wearing crumpled clothes during the lockdown That's true, also the dress (or another piece of clothes) you choose for the gig is something you'll keep and every time you wear it, it kind of reminds you of the show... For example, I can remember what I wore to the past Mika gigs even though it wasn't anything that special. But the clothes are part of the memory. So it actually is more important than the hotel room where you just stay over night. Btw, I'll probably have a free bed in my room even though I'm still not sure about the hotel but I made a reservation for 3 nights in Art Hotel Paris Est just in case everything is booked out by then... So if anyone is potentially interested, please let me know in the messages. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would come with my 11 years old daughter 🤞 I guess the majority of us got tickets with subscription, but some are also waiting for the general sales on 8 June. Do you know if the kids under 16 are allowed? I couldn't find any clear information about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Dammit, I just turned my house upside down and can't find my old passport, so I'm going to have to report it as lost in order to get a new one, which means I'll have to have an interview to explain why I don't have it anymore. Hmm, no idea mate, maybe because it expired 20 years ago? A lot has happened since then! Ugh. It will be worth it though, to get to see Mika in Paris. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the Idian variant that is present in UK , I heared that people coming from England have to stay in a 5 days quarantine . Don't even know if it's also valid for people who have a stop at a London airport .....maybe people who are not coming by direct flights should also be carefull about that Edited May 30, 2021 by carafon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your passport expired you have to apply for a new passport (after Brexit) if you want to travel after the 31st of December 2020. So I don't think you need to show the old one or report a loss if it's not valide any more. https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/news/brexit-questions-will-my-passport-be-valid-after-brexit/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is to stop its misuse for identity fraud etc. Given it expired in 2000 and was in my possession after that date, I doubt that's an issue. I've just sent a form query to the helpline asking how to proceed, so will see what they say. Fingers crossed! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A driver’s license is condoned, but not the official way to identify yourself because it doesn’t carry you identification number on it. And here if you cross the border (I live in Germany, but work in the Netherlands) you definitely need a passport/ID card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For domestic affairs, passport or driving licence are the normal requirements, but depending on the nature of the case, they'll also often accept your bank card along with 2 separate utility bills showing your home address, issued within the last 3 months. Or, you can get a proof of identity signed by a solicitor. It's not something I've needed to do for a while...
