suzie Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I am happy for all the American fans... Concerning the way it was announced, I don't think it made any difference that it was announced simultaneously... Most people on MS already have an account here and I don't think tickets will sell as fast as the ones for the European gigs, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Sky Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 What it means is that Mika's "fans" - AKA, us and the members of the Mikasounds community - get an exclusive before the tickets go on wide release. As in, before all the New York media outlets get an email blitz from Mika's PR team resulting in the gigs being announced by every radio station, newspaper, etc. Right now, that info is only available where active fans will look - on MFC, and on Mikasounds. I am selfish then. *stamps feet and puts hands on hips* I think MFC deserves the announcement first. Before other fans. On MS. Oh, and PS. I can't go anyway, so doesn't matter to me at a personal level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Call me selfish, but I have an issue when it appears simulteously on both MS and here...it was supposed to be exclusive for us, but within 5 minutes of us getting it, there it is on MS. That sucks. Well, to be fair, we didn't say "exclusive" anywhere, regarding this announcement. However, we do have the info, as Mana explains below, before the rest of the wide world. Agree with you both. What I also find funny though is that it says on the MFC poster that fan presale is from 2-5 EST and 7-10 GMT, but on MS it says 2 EST and 10 GMT. What time do they actually mean that this will be on sale? Another Team Mika gaffe? It's actually the same thing -- 2 - 5 p.m. Eastern, is the same as 2 Eastern to 10 GMT.

Right! And all over twitter! We didn't post it there -- can't control what the rest of the world does. Edited May 26, 2009 by dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Sky Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 And all over twitter! Actually twitter is not the hot bed of activity you imagine. If you search replies, you will see, it is mostly MFCers saying thanks to @mikaounds for his tweet about the codes. Only a handful mention his show. It is still before 6am in NY. Wait till they wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Sky Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 It was members of the MFC! Not mods though! Me. It was me. Mostly so the MFCers twittering on there would know it was time to go check MS.

CazGirl Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Me. It was me. Mostly so the MFCers twittering on there would know it was time to go check MS. I don't have an army of followers who even care what I say!! I posted the New York gig too. But I've only got Mika people following me, so I didn't think it would matter too much.

dcdeb Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 It was members of the MFC! Not mods though! I know, that's what I meant. But as BlueSky said, the only people who will see the tweets are people who are searching on "Mika" or "@mikasounds" anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
