silver Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Hmm. Not familiar with this venue at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Seating plan (trying to find out if it is only seated). No paper tickets available - you have to use their ticket app for an electronic ticket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily2b Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 They do have floor standing for gigs so I would assume it would be the same for mikas! Pre-warning though if anyone is going for seated tickets I wouldn't bother going for the 2nd (top) balcony unless its the front row as there are seats up there where you actually can't see any of the stage- they recently re-did the venue so I've no idea why they decided to make seats like this Also with this venue if you are in seated sections you aren't allowed to get up and dance at any point or you risk being chucked out and i think they are quite strict on it so something to consider! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A review at Tripadviser wrote about the problems.

All that money spent on a refurb and you can’t actually see the stage from the balcony!! These seats were not advertised as restricted view either, be warned when booking. Location was Balcony Block C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SammyB Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Hi all... So I've been having a meltdown but thanks to @mellody who has been a total star, all's well that ends well! I'm only sharing incase it happens to someone else BTW! I got great seated tickets for the Civic in the pre-sale, but last night suddenly questioned if I'd ever had an email confirmation, so I went onto Ticketmaster and 'no tickets'... my heart sank as my friend is flying in from Vienna to see MIKA as she's never seen him before. The money had transacted and had a ref G&T when I looked, which also made me question what was going on. I contacted Ticketmaster who have replied saying they have no record of my tickets, so I feared the worst! Thanks to the reassuring reply from @mellody, I googled G&T, and after all sorts of worrying results, I finally saw Gigs and Tours and thought this was my last hope! I didn't have an account but after creating one, the tickets are there 👏🏼 So, to stop anyone from gaining as many grey hairs as I just have🤣, if anyone bought on the pre-sale for Wolverhampton and assumed you'd bought through Ticketmaster, the chances are it is Gigs and Tours! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Yes, I also get confused which tickets get sold through which website, there are so many. Gigs & Tours belongs to Seetickets, so it's different from ticketmaster and eventim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becca42 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 My husband and I are coming to this one We got seated in circle, we're 30 and decided we're too old to be standing any more. Looking forward to seeing Mika perform. I saw him when he did the concert in London's Heaven Club years ago! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing Mika perform. I saw him when he did the concert in London's Heaven Club years ago! I think I started following Mika at the age of 30 - and now, 17 years later, I still refuse to stay seated at his gigs, even if there are seats. Anyway, enjoy! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky777 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I have a question and I hope this is the right place to ask! What time do people start queuing for the standing tickets? I am very keen to be at the front as I find it difficult if I'm not at the barrier (arthritis) and also because I'm short and would like to see more than the backs of heads! What time should I get there to be at the front? Or is it the case that there are guests, etc. only at the fron and there isn't a chance no matter what time?

Difficult to say, as I'm not sure Mika has played this venue before. I don't know how early the non-MFCers would queue. Dedicated fans tend to queue pretty early. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky777 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Thank you, Silver! How early is early? I'm not sure what to aim for, or if it's just going to be impossible as I'm coming a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becky777 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 It looks like there's a train strikc that day now, so I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it now. I suppose there will be a lot of us in the same situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we are respectful to eachother (which mostly is the case, in my experience), it’s nice to have such a diverse community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoebe Jeffery Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Hey guys!! Just a quick enquiry around tickets!! I haven't had my ticket emailed to me yet and the gig is just two days away! I ordered from gigsandtours back in September and wondered if this was the same for anyone else. I know from past experience that in some places tickets are not sent until as late as an hour or so before shows! but online it said that tickets should be sent 1 to 2 weeks prior, so im a little anxious!! same goes for Manchester. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I had to get the app AXS for the wolverhampton ticket, and the app See Tickets Wallet for Manchester. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
