agnieszka Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Ok, I honestly think I deserve that lap dance for making it to the end of this thread. I have to admit it's highly entertaining but man, I'm gone for what seems like a moment and when I come back there are 40 new pages 40 pages and no update, lol.. It's been 8 months since my last Mika gig, I had time to put together a little Mika Fund and I've never been to Dublin before so all I need is the confirmation. But unfortunately I feel like chances of it happening are getting smaller every day cause May is so close. If it happens then it really will be a very short notice. Both of the potential venues are small so they don't have a lot of tickets to sell but still. To sell even 600 tickets you have to give people some time, and by some time I mean months, not weeks. Unless this really was a mistake and the Dublin gig was never an option. In which case I have to say that at least I had something to be excited about. Yaaay?..

Christine Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 people, do you think seriously mika team is considering our needs and hopes and therefore planning the tour in good time for us to be better organised..? you must be kidding. sorry if it sounds harsh, but I think the only thing taken in consideration by MT is when mika decides his album is ready, if he wants to launch it with book/site/video too (that may delay release) AND (I hope for him) marketing strategies. then they may consider some MFC devoted presales of the gigs ticks or whatever, but as far as about the rest, i think it's just wishful thinking. I think this is exactly the situation. If it happens then it really will be a very short notice. Both of the potential venues are small so they don't have a lot of tickets to sell but still. To sell even 600 tickets you have to give people some time, and by some time I mean months, not weeks. I think it will take them all of 5 minutes to sell 600 tickets. He gave less than 2 months notice for his entire North American tour and it wasn't a problem. These gigs in particular have nothing to do with the fans I'm guessing. Mika is out trying to promote his album and impress the media. I hope that they will make some special accommodation for us to get our hands on tickets but these shows are not about giving hard core fans a chance to see Mika so our travel plans are not factoring into their strategy. Having said that if Mika does any sort of "secret" gig making it virtually impossible for many fans to attend I will be done with travelling to see Mika. I am not up for playing such games. We have stuck by while he plays arenas and stadiums in the hope that there will be opportunities like this to see him in an intimate setting again. If he can't do small shows because of the large audience demand that's understandable, but if he does them and we can't possibly make it because of some "secret" nonsense I will not be impressed.

identicaltwin3 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 As much as I agree with you on some points, I can't help wondering what's the proportion of people out there in "the real world" that take flights to go to a gig abroad? I have and will . Anyone else ? Ingie's not the only mad fan, bless her ! See you there, Ingie . Cheers, Id3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. However, I think that anyone who really wants to, can do smaller shows. The Script have just scheduled a 5 night (or more) stint in London in a smallish sized venue (Sheperd's Bush), instead of doing a one night in a massive place. I just wish Mika would do that in the future rather than going down the route of massive venues but in any case, I REALLY hope taht when the time comes for the promised small shows, we are considered for preferential tickets .

sienna Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Let’s play with thought that we actually will end up in Dublin for a nice little concert! So…I saw just a short bit on TV about Dublin and it really seemed like an interesting town, a home of a lot of authors if I’m not mistaken. My question is… what is there more to see, except from a possible concert? Let’s say in a day or two… Please tell me if you have been there and have some ideas what to see!

Moonlightchild Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) I've got a question. Mika said somewhere in his blogs, he would give some secret gigs and in another blog he said,he would give some small gigs. Are these small gigs the secret gigs? At the moment when Mika did his first secret gigs I wasn't a fan . So I also would like to know how that works. Can someone who has experienced a secret gig of mika explain this to me?

I've never been there, but I know you can do the "Joyce" route, the Ulysses' author, a novel (600 pages) which took place during one single day in Dublin...
