thy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 It's going to be another disaster, isn't it? Oh, then it is too nice that they extra do another disaster for me so I know what you all are talking about. The newbies have a right for a disaster!

violet_sky Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I entered. I don't think I win tickets for a MIKA gig more than once and I already did win those for Munich in 2007 But then I know it's a case of sampling with replacement.. so maybe.

daisylou Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Does anyone remember the wording of that Paris contest that they ran for PDP? Taht was hilarious. Was it something like 'a chance a pair of tickets' or something like that? Does anyone remember? I'm too lazy to go and fish the blog out where they said it yes, they surely do have very many tix this all i found about the PDP competition : July 2008 COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED - Win tickets to see MIKA in Paris this Friday! THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED Hey there! .... A couple of things that you need to know! .... First – we are re-launching MIKA's website very soon, to explain all about it MIKA himself has filmed a special message which you can see here. .... Secondly – as you may know, MIKA is playing a massive show at the Parc de Prince in ....Paris.... this Friday on 4th July. This is MIKA's first stadium show and it's a sell out. However, the good news is that we have 4 pairs of tickets up for grabs – not only that we will also throw in one nights accommodation and travel also. All you need to do is enter your email and country location here. Best of luck! .... Mikasounds Such a sore subject for me this one (as most of you know! ).....At least I have the recognition that I DID WIN!!!... Absofrickinglutely NOTHING Who were the other 3 tho? Did anyone ever find out? xx btw..i didn't get a confirmation email either but then it could be as I already applied through Itunes maybe? Edited July 8, 2009 by daisylou no email for me either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Just once I'd like to see a promotion involving Mika - tickets, releases, whatever - actually run like it's supposed to. Will I ever grow out of this misplaced optimism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariflor Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Then I thought it is because my IP address is not a UK one.... but Silver did not get a confirmation, either... so from this point onwards I give up and don't care. I don't think I'd get ticks anyway. IP? Are you kidding me? I honestly doubt that these people can run such a sophisticated system Yes it was different, I remember it was weird Yeah, like it didn't make sense, no? The wording was totally strange and nothing added up. I'm not planning a trip to London, but IF I win tickets, it's like a sign, isn't it? In that case I really have to buy a flight to London and see him. I don't usually win anything, but I want to try. Hey, but that's different to knowing that you can't go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabine64 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 After reading the text about the confirmationemail for the third time, is it really necessary to get a confirmationemail? Could it be, that this mail means that the user will get updates for the future? It makes me nervous not to know, if I counted or not. Is it O.K. to try it with another emailadress ? So many questions .... I´ll be really happy, when we will get the dates for the proper tour having time to make plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Just once I'd like to see a promotion involving Mika - tickets, releases, whatever - actually run like it's supposed to. Will I ever grow out of this misplaced optimism? Well there are two things working in our favour here. There is a reliable third party (iTunes) involved. They are organizing the actual event and ticketing. And the contest deadline is July 17, which gives us two full weeks to moan before it's too late.

So many questions .... I´ll be really happy, when we will get the dates for the proper tour having time to make plans. A confirmation mail is supposed to be sent to anybody giving their email address but then a friend of mine never received hers... so from the very beginning there are winners and losers apparently .

identicaltwin3 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Very wise words Suzy, as usual. It would effectively be a waste if the tickets go to someone who isn't even sure if they can go to the gig, because there is no way that they would be easily re-allocated, so they'd most likely be lost, when there would possibly be other disappointed fans who CAN go but don't get the tickets Yes, I agree. Anyway, I'm sure that people will take that into account and only apply if they can actually go to the gig.... I'm REALLY hoping that I get some, as I will be here and can go even if I win tickets last minute (hint, Team Mika, hint ) Yes, it's probably just the way it's worded, but they most definitely have to have tons of "pairs" of tickets. Does anyone remember the wording of that Paris contest that they ran for PDP? Taht was hilarious. Was it something like 'a chance a pair of tickets' or something like that? Does anyone remember? I'm too lazy to go and fish the blog out where they said it We don't know yet how the competition will be run and the tickets allocated but so far no identity has been asked for so that the winners should be able to give or sell tickets to less lucky .

identicaltwin3 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 a pair is 2a couple may also mean more than 2 PS: pls natives correct me if I'm wrong Yes, I think a couple is a small number, two, three, four... while a pair is definitely two.

sparkly1 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I tried to enter on 3 different email accounts cos I didnt get any confirmation, then, noticed I had got one ont he 2nd email address, so one of my emails is registerd to MS and the other 2 not... here we go again guys, de ja vu. (and yes Daisy I DO remember what happend to you, it was not so nice to win NOTHING at all, bit like my daughter Vix, she won NOTHING AT ALL TWICE lol. I won tix to Leeds '07 my 1st gig and the start of the hypnotic Mikamagicness. That didn't run very smoothly either, but non of these things ever do, I have almost come to expect and accept it now. ah well, all we can do is wait and hope.

Sabine64 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Entered with my second emailadress and got the confirmationmail between seconds. O.K. let´s see what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
identicaltwin3 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 A couple means two. 'A couple of' means a small number of. 'When the stripper had shed off a couple of clothes, he started drooling' doesn't mean that she had taken off just two pieces of clothing, might be three, might well be just one if the guy was really sensitive to that kind of show . In the same way 'a couple' also means 'an item' but don't we know about 'ménages à trois' ? But then I am more familiar with British English, American English may be more litteral .

identicaltwin3 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Entered with my second emailadress and got the confirmationmail between seconds. O.K. let´s see what will happen. I think that basically when you haven't received the confirmation email within seconds it's bad news and you'll never get it, better try again with another email address.
