It could be nice to hand out only pink balloons, with instructions for the audience on when to wave them during a specific song. (I do realise that blowing up a balloon may not be easy for everyone, but it would just be enough to blow it up a little bit so that it can be seen and waved - and maybe neighbours can help each other…) It doesn’t have a specific meaning a part from the pink night, but we could create a really nice effect.. it would have been amazing if pink flower-shaped balloons existed, but I don’t think so lol Non voglio rovinare i vostri piani, anzi se è già certo cosa fare, benissimo! Approfitto però per proporre un'altra idea che mi è venuta in mente per Cattolica. Ieri ero ad un altro concerto e i fan sventolavano semplici palloncini colorati, e l'effetto visivo era molto bello. Potrebbe essere carino distribuire palloncini esclusivamente rosa, con istruzioni per il pubblico su quando gonfiarli e sventolarli. (Mi rendo conto che gonfiare un palloncino può non essere semplice per tutti, ma basterebbe gonfiarlo veramente poco, il minimo indispensabile per sventolarlo - e magari tra vicini di posto ci si aiuta…) Non ha un significato specifico a parte il legame con la notte rosa, ma potrebbe venire fuori qualcosa di carino… sarebbe stato perfetto se esistessero palloncini rosa a forma di fiore, ma non credo 😅 IMG_1651 2.mov 10.95 MB · 0 downloads I still have lots of balloons I bought for 2020 Magic Piano Tour.

Why not balloons indeed instead of sheets of paper which have been used a lot recently. Do you think it will be easy to buy some in Cattolica on the day ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what it looks like every year (this one is from Riccione, not Cattolica, but the concept is the same), so even if he's not aware in advance I think he'll notice that something's happening as soon as he arrives And yes I think we can easily find some pink balloons there. I'll have a look later today! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 The pink balloons would fit to Lollipop, but we don't know if he does that as the first song - he has changed between Lollipop and Love Today recently, and hinted that the setlist might change some more soon. I love that he changes the setlist, but it doesn't make the fanaction plans easier, lol! I might have a few pink balloons that I can bring, but only about 5 maybe. I can see if I can get any more, if that's decided for sure now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virgi Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Ah you're right, it would fit well with lollipop but difficult to guess when it will be and give simple instructions to non-fans 😅 I think we should choose: - a moment rather at the beginning (since there could be the risk that the more the concert goes on, the more people forget to do it) - a moment where there's a little "pause" so that people can blow up their balloon if they haven't done it yet - and/or a moment right after a well-known song, so that they don't get lost and understand that they have to prepare for the next one But tell me if i'm wrong We can also write on the instructions that they can choose wether to blow their balloon up at the beginning and hide it till the song, or if they want to do that just before that song. As far as how many, I looked at the seating map and if we want to cover all the sectors where tickets have been bought we need +/- 2000 balloons 😅 If we want to cover just the center area, there are 1200-1400 seats (10 seats x10 rows in each sector) or 500 only for the front sectors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara penny Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) Io non sarò al concerto ma mi piace leggere come vi state organizzando per una fanfiction per manifestare il vostro affetto. Sarebbe bello anche vedere tanti palloncini colorati volare e saltare magari con delle scritte del tipo, amore, pace ecc ecc Edited July 3, 2023 by Sara penny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many baloons does one package contain? Do we organise together and buy a certain number of balloons to distribute or does everyone buy what they want/can and we'll see there what we have?

Do we organise together and buy a certain number of balloons to distribute or does everyone buy what they want/can and we'll see there what we have? Ah yes, sorry - 8 balloons per package. I'd like it if there were different shades of pink, different balloons in different sizes. So maybe everyone can bring something, and we meet up earlier on the gig day and see if we need/want to buy more in Cattolica? But if anyone already knows that they'd prefer to contribute money than buy balloons themselves, I can also offer buy some more, it's 1€ per package of 8 balloons. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questo palloncino rosa serve per fare una sorpresa a Mika. Per piacere, gonfialo prima che cominci il concerto e tienilo nascosto fino alla seconda canzone.

Yes, this is the problem I had last year with balloons in France. Usually people inflated them at once before the show or forgot it completely. For more if we do a fan action during Tiny Love and Mika has his magic piano we can destroy the effect of the flowers growing out of the piano.
