can anyone advise me on here if there is something wrong with my camer or is it me, I have a Pentax optio (something or other) and its 5xoptical zoom, I think the ISO can go up to 6400 or something like that. My problem is that at gigs my pics are often really bad, dark, out of focus etc (especially if I try to zoom in). also if I take pix with artificial lighting they seem kinda yelowy when you zoom in on them, even after they on on the pc and also kinda fuzzy and not as sharp as I would like them to be. This is driving me nuts I don't know if I sould replace my camera, I am not good with teccy stuff (even though I sitll have some really good but old fashioned now SLR cameras with zoom lenses etc in my loft) also have a fab minolta and a pentax but all non digital and of course its all digi now and I love the convenience of digi just the quality at the lower cheaper ends I find often sucks. or is it just me lol, I keep thinking I have pressed some setting to alter it but I dont know what.

this other site I have found and added to the above seems good I havnt read through it all yet but for buying gig tickets it looks to have some good information on there for us and lets face it we all need it from time to time lol.

I need to find out hwos best too and I also found this one but dont knowhow good they are yet so darent use them lol (the have good feedback but how reliable is that) http://www.gigantic.com/g~affiliate=stereoboard~g/gigantic/event_gce_14935a.html

I have never heard of these before, has anyone used them from here before cos it ays you can buy up to 10 tickets!!! they sound good but I'm not sure having not heard of them before although they say they have been around since 2007 ish http://www.gigantic.com/gigantic/home_mika.html http://www.gigantic.com/g~affiliate=stereoboard~g/gigantic/event_gce_14935a.html I have just found this site which I think could be uselful to all of us, it has some good info about gig tickets and where to get them and a lot of the ticket company's etc, dunno if htis info wneeds a better plce to be seen cos we often get asked the same info when it comes to buying gig tivkets. http://www.theregoesthefear.com/2008/09/your-guide-to-buying-uk-gig-tickets.php

this is EXACTLY the problem, and some fans are just MORE insane thean others, I mean sleeping in a back alley in Brixton is madness. PS does anyone know if this ticket company is safe to use, I aint heard of htem before. http://www.gigantic.com/g~affiliate=stereoboard~g/gigantic/event_gce_14935a.html

Excuse me but Bumblebee_vix and I arrived soon after you

Depends who is going Freddie, we have seen campers who start Q-ing at midnight the night before but that was at Brixton and Hammersmith.

yeah it had a takeaway we used to get changed in just opp but we DID have ppl trying to jump in front of the Q when they opened the doors cos the Q went right round the building lol.

I parked about a 5 min walk last time but I will have to find that one again for you, I am sure it was free too.

it was and it is and I HAVE to get tickets tomorrow, my hairdresser wants to come too now so I need to find link for her to buy tickets tomorrow ...ANY LINKS PLZ FOR TICKETS??

which gig tix sites are reliable does anyone know?

who?

BTW there is a postal stike isn't there in the UK soon if not now, pity ppl didnt have the choice to print their own tickets like has been done in the past, but hen I guess they couldnt screw you for so much "handling and postage fees"

hell yeah I go with that.... *mumble grumble groan moan...mutter mutter stupid ppl mutter grumble ove mika now mumble groan winge *:roftl:

Iv'e not got tickets to any of the gigs yet anyway... I might want to fork out and get some at some point, but just now... well we shall see just how long I can resist the temptation.

it IS what you said it was A RIP OFF thats cos we live in RIP OFF BRITAIN and if htey just said tickets are £33.50 each instead of annoying everyone with add ons, we would be non the wiser.

maybe they have bought VIP tickets that allow them M&G's and Q jumping I think I read in some gigs this is possible.(not for Mika as far as I know but other ppl)

I trust NOTHING Mika related anymore (as if they said I was too young to enter the WAG vid comp, or that uploading my vid 3 days in advance of the deadline was missing the deadline then post a new vid dated 26th)!!!!!!!! YES folks I am STILL narked about that bigtime.

I dunno if I bought tix for newcastle or not yet, I got the not so magic points straight away but no confirmation email ( I did book them about 8pm so it was late will that make a difference? (cos I got an email from saddlebags immediately when I needed p/w confirmation etc.

she darent tell the REAL reason why (it's cos she can't stand the excitement of seeing him so many times in one week, it would tip her over the edge and turn her GAGA and she hasnt got the skirtless pants on view look quite right yet)

well they aint all that valuable really, or thats how it looks to me, they are hit n miss if you get them and people can spend their entire lives spamming pics and vids of anything and everything to cheat their way to more points...so the MAGIC seems to be flawed to me, so if buying direct lets you Q jump hahahah (I'm in an evil mood now). I'm all for that

PISSED OFF thanks to MS and the crap surrounding the WAG vid entries they decided NOT to enter even though some of them are within the rules! and PISSED OFF cos I was at work for the presale and now just can't be arsed with even thinking about any of it.

me too but we can all meet up with the rest of MFC, and it will all be ok, probs share rooms etc, it's been done before lol.

I'm at work from 8.45 to 5.15 tomorrow so I HOPE there will be tix left when I get home, I want to go to Newcastle ( I have contaminated about 3 friends too who want to come to that gig lol), also I want to do Manchester, Sheffield Leeds and probs Hammersmith, not sure bout the rest they are so far away so will probs be expensive to get to, esp the Irish ones form Teesside. Guess it depends on how many tix are left by the time I get home from work. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MUCH TIX ARE GONNA BE YET?
