Christine Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 its not up to the people to judge whether it is risky or not its up to the venue so if mika said that his opening will be a burlesque dancer (even if he says its not risky) the venue can decide to put a barred age limit because they dont want to take responsibility What I'm getting at is I'm not sure this is quite what Mika wanted for an opening act and I'd be surprised if he did it again. I think it was just a one-off and part of the whole secret gig madness. The acoustic tour is going to be different from the secret gig. Hopefully we'll get more information over the next while because I know this is a difficult thing to accept with no explanation offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHandcuff Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Ah...if I may put in a bit of an opinion...but are you sure that it's only 18+ years of age? I thought that just referred to the bar--that a certain area was for 18+ but the other areas didn't matter. At least, Mr. Smalls Theatre in Pittsburgh was like that.

DaMango Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Wow, the more I read, the sadder I am about the age restriction. For a show that truly brings out the inner child of it's audience, it's such a dang shame. I remember being upset, back in the day, when singers/bands I liked would perform at casinos, because those are 21+ venues and I was underage. But I don't really see Mika falling into the "greatest hits casino circuit" category for quite some time. We can only hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sariflor Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) But I see a "babspanky" on the RSVP list, under the YES heading... See you there! OMG she did it Ok Bab, maybe I should come on the same flight as you haahha In all seriousness now, I REALLY feel for all the younglings that can't make it because of this over18 rule, I really honestly do. It sucks Edited May 26, 2009 by sariflor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmindreda Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I will be eighteen by then.....it's coming too soon!

superstar Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Everyone's getting really upset about all this 18+ business (including me), but is this going to be th only U.S. venue on the acoustic tour? That's the impression I've been getting, but I can't really believe he'd only do one gig that was +18 only in such a big place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findingmywords Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 That's awesome! I think they should have gotten an all ages venue though... it sucks for many of the under-18 folks who want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
