sariflor Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Howdy neighbour I no longer disagree with you on the benifits of seated gigs. Providing they keep it as first booked first row then that's fine by me I knew that you'd come round once you experienced the benefit of it first hand . First booked-first seats is the usual modus operandi anywhere. That's why some of us kept banging on about the need for proper presales for fanclub members, so that we can make sure that the fanclub people get the front seats. To be honest, after these reserved seat gigs end, I will be incredibly depressed to have to go back to queuing all day for a fight for the front. It's just a very prehistoric way of doing it! Look at this gig: We can all arrive feeling fresh, normal, looking like normal people instead of like savages who have spent the whole day standing outside and not even having the chance of a decent meal or using toilets...There will be no fighting, everyone will be chilled and happy... We can spend time being social before the gig in the knowledge that nobody is "an enemy to beat in the quest for the front" (which is, in all seriousness, how it sometimes feels ), and we can just focus on having a good time with everyone and then seeing the show. Everyone wins. Ah bliss to be able to sleep on seats during support acts If they're crap that is Yeah hehe! I wonder if he will have a support act at all. I hope not.

It's going to be so strange not seeing the guys or chatting to Johnny! I miss them! Only one gig of Mika's that I've been to didn't have the as support (Brixton). When it was Yelle (or whatever her name was) I turned to Marc and said "I can't understand a word she's saying, hope my hearing aids aren't playing up!" He grinned and said "Vicky it's not English!"

Christine Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Howdy neighbour I no longer disagree with you on the benifits of seated gigs. Providing they keep it as first booked first row then that's fine by me Yes, this is the way to do it! Freddie- how did you tranche people by length of membership- I don't remember anything on the application that identified that I was Soaring Simpson. I'd guess applying at 16:20 I was too late for it to make any difference anyway?- or have I been classed as general public and given a less good seat? As it was a financial transaction, I used the email address linked to my real name and therefore my credit card. It was first come first served as far as purchasing tickets went. The reason the front rows are full of MFC members is because we had access to the link where you could purchase tickets before it was broadcast to the greater public. If you had purchased your ticket at 12:05 instead of 16:20 you would probably be in the front row. As I mentioned earlier getting individual presale codes to MFC members was our preference but it was not implemented this time around. We have also looked at limiting the number of tickets people can purchase in this case, either by gig or by the tour, so I understand your concerns about people getting 4 tickets and being able to give them to whomever they want while other MFCers have to sit behind them. Ultimately Team Mika has to make the decisions here and I don't think it was realistic to implement a complicated system at this stage for logistical reasons. For me personally I'm more concerned about what's going to happen 5 years down the line if Mika is playing seated arenas on a regular basis. I don't want to have to compete with the general public for good seats. It's not about getting one row ahead of someone who joined MFC a few months after I did. I'd like to see all active MFCers benefitting from presales. Edited May 21, 2009 by Christine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat and thought about it for a while, like... "do I just book or try to get time off work or trains and hotel booked first, do I wait till Vix txts back"?... in the end I just went of it lol. I'm happy enough with my tickets unless I end up behind a basket ball player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariflor Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 good we dont want that all the first rows are occuped just by quacking females, dont we? i hope the word/verb quacking is not too offensive... we italians use often to definite women who chat/laugh/scream a lot Hmmm...It may seem that I am one of them...I don't scream that much though, but I do the other parts quite a bit ooo not quite I booked 11.24 I'm in 2nd row, so seems you had to have been a little sooner even than that.
