The light blue and gray seats are clustered together. If I understand what Fansale seats are, they would be randomly scattered in the arena. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggie112 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Now I see on Ticketone that there are 4 additional rows in front of the stage. We can’t buy them now, our guessing is that they are for people who were supposed to be in the first rows in any cancelled shows and asked to go to Verona. from 1st row now I am in 5th. Let me tell that it’s still a good spot, but I am still very annoyed 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me tell that it’s still a good spot, but I am still very annoyed I think these 4 rows are in the part which was clear while we were buying our tickets (in the buca d'orchestra). So the distance to the stage for our tickets stays the same. As someone already mentioned here in the forum, the Arena di Verona has the stage pretty far from the audience. And even without these 4 new rows it's further than in other venues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have announced it before us asking for refunds, this is really annoying! If we had first row for theaters and Arena, now we'll end up 5th row? It's not fair! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camille* Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I'm slowly starting to feel some despair too.. We are already sad about having to give up all our good presale tickets for other dates and now we may lose our good seats for the only remaining date ? This is seriously starting to make me want to stay out of any Italian gig in the future.. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just to point out how seats suddenly appear on Ticketone when they weren't there previously. In this case people were able to buy the seats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Mika will come into the audience more often to make up for it, or maybe they're planning something with those seats so WE can have better places closer to the stage - I don't actually believe that myself, dunno how that would work, but glad there's still some positivity left in me, a bit of me that believes that it's not possible that EVERYTHING really is that bad.

If the stage is very hight and the barrier closed to the stage the view from there would not be better than from the 5th row imo .... And would be definately unfair to the people sitting in the "buca d'orchestra" to run to the stage and block their views I mean , it's not their fault if the organisation is a mess ......and it would not be fair to leave them far behind if they had first row in Roma or Milan Edited September 7, 2022 by carafon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel like struggling in order to defend my first row because it would be too stressful and I am already stressed enough by my job😒 I'll try to have fun and enjoy the gig. I really want this gig to be unforgettable because 1) it's a venue that Mika has always dreamt 2) it's the first ( and maybe the last) Mika concert attended by both my parents who are extremely sorry about the mess that's happening around this tour. Mika is not responsible for this orchestra pit seats. He doesn't care. He focuses on the artistic aspects We could try to run to the stage 😏 but I've never seen fans standing outside their seat in this Arena. Security usually pushes people back to their seat. But we'll see!! At Mika gigs everything is possible🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's not fair for those who had tickets for the canceled shows in the first rows AND for Arena in the first rows since February to end up behind the others... Anyway, I don't even think this situation happened before when Mika canceled a show, that people could exchange their tickets for another show front rows ... and you are right, the organization it's a total mess 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I shouldn't think that people who had front row seats at other venues were somehow given priority here - more likely the promoters just tried to fit in extra seats where they could, to cope with the demand. But I agree, it's a mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
