Karen & co. Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 My daughter Ellie entered a competition a few weeks ago to win tickets to see Mika in concert at the Manchester Apollo, and has just had confirmation that we can pick up the tickets at the box office, watch the concert and then go back stage to meet him She is one happy girl Now what to wear, where to park etc Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dippy bird Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Ooohh I'm jealous! I love Mika! There's parking just across the road from the apollo.If you get there early enough,you can park on the road and it won't cost you a penny.

missuscluck Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 yes, you can just park on the road Karen. There is plenty of room. To the left of the apollo is a small park area. The road that runs just behind it is good to park and lots of side roads off it. It gets very busy so lots of people about so you will be quite safe.

Clur Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm going to his concert at the Hammersmith Apollo at the end of Feb. Saw him 2 years ago and he's really good live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Well what an amazing concert It was a real show, with so much energy and obvious enjoyment from all the performers The record company rep was a star, ringing Ellie to check we had got all the directions and knew where to go, and that we had collected the tickets, then again to let her know when she would be able to meet Mika, and even at the end to check we knew where to meet her to collect our back stage passes Mika himself was absolutely lovely, very sweet despite the fact that he must have been completely exhausted Hope you enjoyed it alih? Thank you for all the tips about parking, it was a doddle despite me being convinced I'd get lost Definately want to go again Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alih Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Karen, he was absolutely great, wasn't he? I was with 4 screaming teenage girls right at the front and tickled massively by the "he looked right at ME" conversations on the way home. I agree, he was entertaining and charming and what a fantastic voice. Loved every minute. I told my girls about your daughter and they all screamed in unison - did you see him afterwards? Do tell the details???? Very , and what a marvellous experience. Did mum get a look in?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
