dcdeb Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 I've missed plenty of shows when I was like 17 and a half. Yes, it's a bummer, but the world of concert touring doesn't stop when you turn 18. There are always more chances and more things that you are lucky for. If you beg a security guard to let you in underage, it could put their job at risk. Just sayin', let's be logical. I can sympathise because it's tempting to be underage, but everyone is at one point in their life. Hugz. Thanks for that, Kate -- maybe since you're closer in age, these younger girls will hear you more than they're hearing me. Girls, there's really NOTHING we can do to get you in at this venue, if they are set on this being an over-18 show. We can't do anything illegal, you know, and we can't condone illegal behavior. We can't condone sneaking in, or trying to bribe the club bouncer, or carrying fake ID... we just can't. We did ask about the age requirement -- at first we were afraid it was going to be 21+! And we did ask if under-18s could get in with a guardian. But the answer has come back multiple times: this is a strictly over-18 show. I think that's how this venue is. It's a very small place, it's got a very prominent bar... I really do feel for you -- but our hands are tied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just curious, I'm sure that there must be lots of other venues they could have got, that could have let under 18s in. Why did they pick one that doesn't? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. We had a nightclub in my home town years ago, that did the occassional, under 16 evening, between 6 and 10pm, where the bar only had soft drinks on display. Could they not do that in this place? I am aware of licensing laws being different, but can't they do what we do here for special events, apply for a special license for the night?

sparkly1 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I must be going mad ..... I read that as maybe the comp will be to strip him on stage I do not have pervy thoughts .... honest well that would be far better a show than having to suffer while some woman removes her undergarments in a public place zzzzzzzzzz how BORING!!!! lets just strip Mika instead (ARTISTICALLY of course).

England Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I'm kinda confused on why Mika would pick (if he did choose) this venue...? I think he knows that he has fans younger then 18, right? :boxed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iadoremika Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I'm not going to lie, I found it a surprise that this new show is in the US (North America for that matter). I honestly thought Mika would add another show in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly thought Mika would add another show in Europe. I was surprised by that too. Darn, no way I can get off work to go to this . . . not that I'd have a way to get there. Ah well, there's always next time I suppose. I want pics posted from everyone who does get to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkly1 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Sorry Neiobi, I just have to pull you up on this one. There were quite a few people that were not having an amazing time. But you wouldn't have seen them because they weren't on the videos, because they weren't mugging Mika. agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkly1 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Nope Ruth, we're still waiting on the code thing EDIT: Okay, to avoid confusion: We haven't heard anything about the original ticket/EP codes, the NYC tickets are also getting codes. It would now appear that we are not getting any info until June 8th. how is that going to work when we will not be attached to our pc's with the mouse umbilicus? I don't have a phone that can go on the internet, and I am usually kinda out of the clique so don't get to find out the goss and shizz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
