Blue Sky Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Just curious...living in one of the world's most expensive cities (TOKYO), I expect I am paying more than most of you. Apart from the tickets I won to the MTV awards:blush-anim-cl: , the July show will cost me 12,000 yen (about $120). The Fuji Rock festival one day ticket costs 16,000 yen or so (about $160), plus travel to the mountains and accommodation. What did you pay for your tickets??

The DC show only cost $20 US, plus service fees... came to $24, I think. Which I didn't think was bad at all... I'm guessing next time he passes this way, though, it'll be at a bigger venue, so it will be more $$$ dcdeb

I paid 6€ for Berlin, which was good luck at ebay and mirrors the fact that Mika isn't that known in Germany . I think the British shows cost about 30€ which is ok.
Pamette Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Around 30 euros in France (i don't know the price in dollars maybe 40)
-Jennie- Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 February tour was £8 May was £12.50 and November is £20-something isn't it? With booking fee and stuff I've paid about £28 for the November tour tickets. I don't mind becuase it's still not loads but... He's getting pricey!
JeyJen Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 the cost of the ticket for his first gig here in italy was 17€...which are: 22$ or 11£ or 2.778 yen it's not too much here! normal price for a gig!

Malteser Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 In the UK, Bournemouth they are £18.50 for next November, if you go down there and get it at the ticket shop.

Lucky me I live in the United States. My first concert to MIKA I only pay $15+ other charges total to $25.The one that I am going on JUNE 15th I pay $25+ other charges total to $35. I feel very lucky because he is such an awesome artist and we are just paying few dollars to see him perform. But I would pay anything to see him:naughty:
JeyJen Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 I think it was cheap. all the other gigs I went too costed MUCH more... did they? it can be...i went to see new artists or musician who aren't well known...so maybe that's why!
ziema Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 I haven't been to a Mika concert yet () but I think it cost 160 SEK when he played at Berns in Stockholm. That's about €17, £11 or $23 when I use google ^^
AKateisaKate Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 $25 here in New York without the service fee/taxes.
Blue Sky Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 Just as I suspected, fans in Japan are getting ripped off... by the venues etc. Too many middlemen. Mika probably only gets his fixed percentage no matter what they charge. Maybe it would be cheaper for me to fly to the US and see a show there???

For the concert in Chicago, the ticket itself was only $20 but then all the fees made it like $35, I think.

My ticket was $44 plus $4.60 fee =$48.60 , which I thought was really reasonable ! My daughter saw Tenacious D in Melbourne & that was $80.

My daughter saw Tenacious D in Melbourne & that was $80. Yes Happikali, ideally it would be there in my home town!! When Mika gets there, I should fly in for the weekend!! But this is all because I am seriously considering giving Fuji Rock a big miss, when it costs $160 and being a festival, I might not be getting Mika value for my yen. Oh well the other acts might be good, I haven't even looked who they are...still can't decide! It will be too hot, too far, too frustrating fighting to get to the front of 40,000 people (almost none of whom give a flying fig about Mika, unlike me, as we all know, I am Japan's no. 1 Mika fan!! c'mon, fight me for the title someone!!)

I must admit .... I wouldn't be very attracted to that festival either! Fly here, Fly here !!!!!!!!!
Christine Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 I paid $15, but scalpers were charging $100 at the show. I expect when he comes again tickets will be in the $25-$35 range.
BrendaLovesMika! Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 $32 (with tax and shipping fees from ticketmaster)
xamyx15 Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 My tickets were £21 plus p&p , so the total cost was around £24
Blue Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Tickets for the show in Amsterdam in november were € 29 + and eh... € 4 fee or so. Somerset House was £ 23.50 + 3, the gig in Birmingham in May was £ 12.50 + 2.12. Festivals can be quite expensive though. But well, € 125 for a three day festival like Lowlands (including camping and parking) with loads of artists is not that bad.
cath85 Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 around 38 euros for Luxembourg... as I expected a little more expensive than the other european shows...
