kittie88 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hey everyone, Does anyone know who is supporting mika at the London gigs cos I assumed it would be palladium but I looked last night and there are no mentions about any of the dates on their schedule??? Also, I will hopefully be queueing around lunch time, do u think I will still get a decent place? Liz x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikafish Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I've been wondering that too..really want it to be Palladium!!! I like the sound of the queuing system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariflor Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Oh cool! but does that mean I can arrive at 7am,and then come back at 6.30pm,still being at the front ? I don't think so:naughty: . People usually have no problems if others go for "breaks" and someone keeps your spot, but it's always with the understanding (in my experience) that you will be there more time than you will not. Otherwise it' just a matter of who gets there earlier and then just buggers off all day, and then gets back in the evening, to go straight in. Can you imagine a system like that? How chaotic and imposible to know who is who, who got there when, and just not manageable. The numbers in the hand system that we had at Hammersmith is by no means "normal" as far as I know. It just happened that day because the guy at the venue said that he was going to move the fences and it would make things easier to know who the first 50 or so were, so don't count on that being "the norm". If anything I'd say it's the exception. This didn't happen at Brixton either or any other gig I've ever been to. Normally the queue works in a simple way: you go there and wait. If someone agrees to "save you a place" you can go for walks or whatever, but nothing is set in stone unless you have someone there keeping it for you. Plus it would be quite unfair if it wasn't like that, don't you think? For the ones who actually are standing or sitting there waiting all day .

sparkly1 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Plus it would be quite unfair if it wasn't like that, don't you think? For the ones who actually are standing or sitting there waiting all day I couldn't agree more, I think it's fine to go away for toilet or coffee breaks a couple of times but to expect to get there and ask someone ELSE to stand there all day in the freezing cold to keep YOUR place while you bugger off for hours is totally unfair, but I have seen it done, I have also seen ppl try to sneak in at the front of the queue after arriving hours and hours later than those who have queued nearly all day, and I have seen ppl hovering about near the front of the queue hoping very near to the time they open them to jump in as soon as they open them to let us in. I also think it's a cheek to try to push your way to the front, at a few gigs we had ppl come and stand behind us trying to push in front of the people who were behind us and the lady behind me told them in no uncertain terms that she had been there the whole time and their lies about they had been here all the time but nipped out to the loo did NOT wash. It was also very irritating at Newcastle when some girls behind us deliberately stood there with their elbows in our backs right up until Mika came on then thankfully by then I think they realized that we were NOT going to let them have our place after we had queued long enough for it. I know it's a free for all as soon as they let you in too but that is just how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh,I thought the numbers system was "normal" though it did seem a bit weird But without that kind of system, I also think it would be unfair to go for a long time while others were waiting!

Mikafish Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I couldn't agree more Sparkly! I was really annoyed with the queue at Doncaster, suddenly deciding to have a second quue that would be let in at the ame time? What was with that. Thankfully for the lastest gigs i wore big DM boots so anyone that tried to elbow or push me out of the way got a gentle but firm prod with my foot! It really annoys me because it's partically disabled and really unsteady on my feet, esp after queuein most of the day. Are you going to be there on the 26th? Bee coming too? Marc is currently working up the courage to ask his mum to make another Holy Johnny Costume! He gave his other one to the promoters at Doncaster, Silly boy!
