We have ***10 pairs of tickets*** to give away exclusively to MFC members for this very special event! Where? Secret central Milan location Wednesday, 25th July 3.30pm arrival, starts 4pm, ends 5pm so...who will be there? No one told us anything...so it's not sure Mika will be there. But who cares?

Christine Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 A couple of years ago Justin Bieber gave a press conference in Toronto and told them to let some of his fans come in. He said without my fans, what is the point? There was a listening party in Toronto for TBWKTM in 2009 and one random blogger wrote about the album and no one else published anything that I could find. Without fans what is the point I have to ask? I am so glad you will all be there, representing MFC and Mika fans in general. I know you will all tweet and write reports and tell all your friends how great Mika's music is, unlike some of the people who go to these things who don't appreciate the privileged opportunity they've been given. I hope you all have a wonderful day and I will be with you in spirit. Can't wait to hear what Mika fans think of the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 That's one of the best prizes ever given! I am so glad so many clearly devoted fans managed to get tickets for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krysady Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Congrats to everyone!!! The best prize ever,I can't imagine anything better than this on earth!!! I'm already in Milan and it was raining with ice! (and no TF visit ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertina Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 If this is serious, I guess no mobiles or cameras will be allowed, and I hope it's like this (please don't kill me ). I remember when some journalist wrote that they broke the promo CD and all bags were searched? Am I right? But will be assured that every detail, and above all all our feelings/sensations will be described in full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kath Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 SO pleased for you all!!!! After the gigs this last week I am now SO excited for the album - I just can't wait. His performances of the new songs seem to get better by the day. Lola/Underwater/Origin/Karen are all truely beautiful imo. I am so happy for you all and can't wait to hear all about it.

Blue Sky Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 This is like CHRISTMAS for the diehard Mika fan I know you will all love every minute of it, and I can't wait to hear allllllll about it. I wish I lived somewhere on the other side of the world. Or that Mika might consider a listening party in Australia HAHAHAHAHAHA yeah right, like that would ever happen.

robertina Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 This morning I feel like a pest Would Mika's presence be a plus, or just a disturb? Are you going just hoping he will be there or do you think he will distract the fans from a serene listening of the new album? I'll be 100% sincere: I hope he won't be there. I will see him the day before (as 99% of the winners) and it can be enough. As in the past, we know his presence can be quite upsetting for some, and create issues among fans. And I'm 100% sure we haven't got over it, and this will repeat over and over. Just in case he's there, my only wish is that he asks for our opinion about the album and not simply offer himself to the usual assault. Having witnessed 5 years of spoiled chances, I'm a bit fearful about this listening party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really am happy for everyone to attend. Just in case he's there, my only wish is that he asks for our opinion about the album and not simply offer himself to the usual assault. Having witnessed 5 years of spoiled chances, I'm a bit fearful about this listening party. I think he is always open to listening to fans' opinion - at least I have always had the chance to tell / ask him if I had anything to say - it is only that some fans prefer to have their 50th autograph and special photos with him. It's true that this time you may have longer time to talk to him but to be honest, I don't think most fans would go further than the it's "amazingly amazing" comment, which is fair enough and I don't think one can do a proper evaluation after just one listen except for talking about first impressions. I remember that as soon as I received TBWKTM I was PMing opinion to someone while listening and kept those PMs as they captured my first thoughts on songs. So, perhaps it is worth taking notes there since I assume you won't be able to get any recording of it out......and I assume none of you can transcribe music, can you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I didn't like at first never became a song of the heart. I have already some considerations on the whole Mika project in my mind that I would share with him , involving this album too. I only need to try to be polite and avoid those big chestnut eyes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
