allegra Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Just a quick note. Waiting list of this app, in this particular case, is a perverse system. There is the possibility that a foreign fan (or an italian fan who lives far) receives a notification with the authorization to reserve the ticket, 2 hours and half before the start of the concert. At this point he has 20 minutes to "purchase" but he has not the time to go to the event!!! Very annoying. If this happens you can choose to renounce to the free "purchasing" or to transfer the ticket to a local fan. But you have to know who is available to go last minute and to know the phone number! https://dicefm.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4409669378449-How-do-I-send-tickets-to-a-friend- I could be available to go there last minute but I don't put my phone number in a public page I prefer the old style pdf tickets, not these stupid apps!!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiara 83 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 1 hour ago, mellody said: I don't think Mika would request that, he surely would prefer more people. Maybe it's necessary for security reasons, as Mika isn't just some random piano artist but an international pop star, so the organizers don't know what to expect... Maybe they can even let more people in on the day... I won't take the risk, but for those who live nearby it might be an option. I think Mika has interest in having as many people as possible, especially now that he has to promote the italian festivals. So it's likely that the organizers decided to keep a very small crowd. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can send the ticket to a friend (via the app or put your ticket on the waiting list) (the answer I got when I joined the waiting list): 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the organisers were thinking? 200 places? I mean, Mika wanted to do two concerts in Milan last year, which didn't work out, it's clear that many Milanese want to hear Mika sing. They will annoy more Mika fans than make them happy. And at that, Mika said that he had prepared a very special concert. It's a pity when so few people can hear it. 1 hour ago, mellody said: Maybe they can even let more people in on the day... I won't take the risk, but for those who live nearby it might be an option.

That was the thing, travel would have been only about 150€ for me, as I wouldn't have needed a hotel and the bus fares are ok. Well, it wasn't meant to be this time... unless there are more tickets available in the next few days when I can still plan. But I also won't spend 150€ to probably wait in front of the door. I suppose the gig is to promote the upcoming tour, so it's probably good that many non-fans get to see it who might decide to buy tickets for July then. Although he's not performing near Milan this summer, so well, maybe not... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorlore Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) I think Mika would prefer to have some regular fans on this occasion too. I wonder if @dcdeb could ask his team if it is possible to reserve some seats as happened in London. The location is large and there are only 200 people. Selling 200 more tickets for this summer doesn’t change anything . Edited May 9, 2023 by Lorlore 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Mellody, indeed you have my phone number. Anyway I really don’t think speedy people who were connected at 16,00 will give their ticket to the waiting list. Just other general information for everybody, deduced from some official sources in the web and here: - duration: about one hour - in a courtyard, so outside but not visible from the street because there are the walls of the Castle all around - standing on the grass or on the pavement of the courtyard - Sold out!!! But some very few Mfcers will attend 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabry74 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I live 1 hour and a half from the Castello Sforzesco and I would go during the day... And... Having seats like the Royal Festival Hall would be great. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I understand what you mean. It takes me sometimes longer to get to places in Switzerland (although small) than some places abroad. 5 hours for Geneva, 4 hours Sion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Hi everyone, I waited a few days but obviously I haven't seen any news for those on the waiting list yet. I just wanted to ask if any of you had any news about it…and if anyone had an extra ticket because they can’t go🧎🏻 Unfortunately it happened to me like most people who tried to access the reservation… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitterbug Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Oh this one sounds awesome Are you sure it's outdoors?? If they were only 200 tickets, wouldn't it be inside in a ball room or something? He performed in that Castle in 2012 and there were sooooo many mosquitos malaria was a concern hahaha Well, I hope the lucky souls who attend can record some snippets. It's going to be Magical for sure. Edited May 13, 2023 by Glitterbug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess, as Allegra said, IF any tickets become available it'll be short notice because people become ill or something else that can't be planned. 6 hours ago, Glitterbug said: He performed in that Castle in 2012 and there were sooooo many mosquitos malaria was a concern hahaha I don't think he performed in this castle before... do you mean the gig in Vigevano in 2012? It's near Milan and it was in a castle too, looks similar but I think this one's smaller. And yes, we definitely had a mosquito problem there, lol! 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I noticed I find it very stressful to do live videos from a gig, and it's usually worse quality than just filming, so I'm perfectly fine (tho surely impatient 😅) to get the videos only after the gig... anyway, have so much fun everyone who's there tonight, looking forward to everything you can share with us! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew to and from Milan for that gig and I remembered the venue was a castle with a museum called "Sforzesco" so I just assumed tonight's gig was going to be there haha. I didn't know there were 2 castles with the same name Anyway, I hope the weather holds good and wish a magical (and mosquito-free!) evening to all who attendEnjoy!! I look forward to seeing the pictures and reports. If this can be considered a preview of the "magic piano" tour Mika is planning, I'd be super !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
