That happens mainly overseas where they pack them in and peeps stand through out the whole concert. It gets hot and peeps faint and they just pass them up and over and they have plenty of EMSs standing by.
Yeah, I deserved that damn front row... LOL and I was so scared that they would open the doors early and I would miss the right moment to get to the stage! Imagine sitting in the toilet for around 2 hours to get to the front and then to open the door only to see that all the people are already in!
LOL same here.... but it was all worth it! I was right at the front at Killer Thriller.... that was priceless!
yeah well unfortunatley i guess u joined mjni at the wrong time cause of what happened in 03. at the peak they were very good and got tickets and orgnaised trips ect. the thing is clubs would really be the only way of getting tickets to fans b4 they go to the gen public like others have mentioned. but the internet and message boards have pretty much taken out fanclubs as they were.so htey are gonna ahve to think of otherways of doing it. but that depends on mjs staff/label. mjni always had a great relationship via jonathan morrish so got things for the fans. now who knows!
not to mention all the lawsuits lol
The thangs MJ fans do to be close to him! LOL ;DWow, awesome picture... I mean, crappy, since it was supposed to be VIP, but still awesome picture.... I was right in front of those lighter things you see on the stage... yep, I was in the front row! Man, it's too long ago!
I got there at around 11 in the morning, people were already queing and to the right there was an entrance... somehow some VIP people or workers were allowed in at around noon, so I and 2 other people, whom I just met a couple of minutes before, just walked in with them... nobody checked our tickets or anything... so we were inside... on the empty field... we didn't quite know were to go, since, except security and some workers, nobody was really there yet and we stuck out like a sore thumb (at least I felt like it)... so we just walked around talking and being cautious, I was walking a little bit behind and we were in full conversation, as I noticed security approaching us from the side.... midsentence I made a turn, walking in the different direction away from security and as I was walking away I heard how the other 2 got approached by that guard and escorted out! Kinda feel sorry about them... but they saved me!
So I knew I was in danger of being removed too... so I hid in the toilet, which was standing on the field, for like two hours! Damn it... it was hot in that damn plastic toilet and every time some people stopped, talking in front of that toilet, I was scared that somebody noticed me going in and not coming out for an hour! Several times it started to rain and inside the toilet it sounded like people were starting to run in! So, I had a couple of false starts were I opened the door!
Shortly before 2 I went for it, I opened the door and went right to the front! It was awesome... I made it! The pushing and shoving afterwards was horrible though.... I also didn't really have anything to eat... in the morning I wasn't hungry... I was too excited I guess and I put something in my backpack.... but there was no chance to get the stuff out once all the people were inside! I was pressed against the barrier and there was no chance to move at all! And that really didn't stop until the show was over! Never was I that close to let them pull me out than in Prague, but I made it to the very end!
Well Janet opened a special website for that. MJ would have to do the same thing...
Because the concert was open seating, kids were rushing to park to get into Soldier's Field. I can't remember the name of the rock band, but they were big like U2.
OMG, London 2002 was CRAZY too....I have NEVER seen that kind of mobbing before!! It seriously looked SCARY. And I just stayed away from it all. And you're right...it seems that unless you follow MJ everywhere and bang on his car windows, you won't have any kind of chance to meet him.WHich is kind of sad, I think. But still, I rather not ever get to meet MJ and know I didn't bother him than get to say hi just because I basically stalked him or was banging on his windows. I could never live with myself if I did that. But that's just me....everyone has to decide what's right for them, I guess.
I totally understand you, Summer. Your words are so true :lol and I was chatting with him and he didn't know what kind of ticket he'd end up getting either...Anyways, so then we got to the door and they were checking all these lists for our names and first they were like "Sorry....you're not on the list" and then this one girl was like "Hold on...I foudn your names on my list!! You both got seats!" and my friend and I were just jumping up and down because we were so happy. And thn I saw that guy who had been in front of me in line and I was like "WE GOT SEATS!!! WE GOT SEATS!!" and he was grinning and was like "ME TOO!!!" and then without even thinking we just jumped to each other's necks and hugged because we were so happy! :lmao: It was so funny! We ended up sitting in the last row...sort of in the middle...and since no one was sitting behind us, my friend and I decided to sit on the back of the chair so that we could see above the heads of the people in front of us. And we had a GREAT view!! AND....I also had a STRAIGHT view to Michael!! However....I was just so into all the performances and the music and all that I sort of "forgot" to watch him! :mello: :lol: I mean, I didn't want to STARE at him anyways, because I wanted him to be able to watch the show and I didn't want to give him the feeling of being "watched" the whole time (I mean, there were HUNDREDS of fans there with cameras so I bet there were enough fans staring at him and filming him, but like I've said before...each person has to decide for themselves what's right for them...and I just thought I'd make him feel uncomfortable if I would have started at him the whole time...besides I guess it would have been a bit rude towards the people who were performing too if I would have just ignored them...). Anyways...the point is..I didn't want to stare...but I could have looked at him ONCE in a while...but I was just so into dancing or swaying to the music and singing (my heart out :lol along that I totally "forgot" to watch him. :doh: Imagine that! :doh: :lol: I'm such a BLONDE!!! :lol: . We left when they were playing Butterflies... A couple of peopel came to talk to me...I think they were from Sony or something...no idea. I didn't really pay attention. I'm not really much of a "networker", I guess. :mello: :lol: I was just waiting to see MICHAEL and couldn't wait for the concert to start, so I wasn't interested in any other people in some VIP tent. :lol: he came back in a black cab and drove right into that drive in, passing the fans and most of them didn't even notice it was him... it looked so amazing, Michael sitting in there curiously looking out, watching the fans and about 70 % of them not noticing that Michael is coming back in a black cab! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:@Summer
Yeah, I also was sitting somewhere in the middle and the back... and when Michael was about the hit the stage a lot of people moved to the front... so I did too, and stood on the right stairs in the front, about 2 steps up. So I was right in the front and nobody blocked my view! Michael directly looked at me... sot that was awesome!
After his speech I remember that chaos ensued and it looked like he walked outside and left, so we rushed back to the hotel, not knowing that he still was at the Esquinox... so quite some time later, after all the fans had returned, I was standing in front of the hotel on the left of the drive through into the hotel and I was looking at the street and suddenly I saw that cab driving along the street... and there was this guy, I was amazed at how much he looked like Michael, and suddenly it clicked.... it was Michael... :doh:
2bad you didn't take more pix in Prague, but I kinda can understand your frustration.... if the picture would be a little more to the right you'd probably see my toilets!
Yeah, I did... but it was when he came back from the Killer Thriller party, returning to the hotel... there was apparantly such a crowd at the Esquinox that they couldn't use the vans... the vans were surrounded by people... so they came up with the idea of using the cab... at least that's what Mike, the bodyguard, told us later that evening! It was a great sight... Michael really looked curious like a child, sitting inside that cab looking out!
Yeah, that was the weekend where Michael was using the vans, the train, the bus and a cab! I'm sure that was a first for him! The only thing he didn't use was the tube!
...but we just kept joking around and going "Imagine if MJ was in the tube in a disguise....". I guss that's sort of how it started. ANd then we kept "elaborating" on it, and kept looking at all these people in there and tried to figure out which one of them could be Michael. And we wre just nearly CRYING with laughter...it was too funny. There was this one guy who looked a bit "funny"....so we decided we are gonna pretend that is Michael in a disguise. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Poor guy...he probably couldn't figure out why we kept looking at him and giggling! :lmao: I mean, we tried not to make it obvious we were looking at him because we didn'T want to be rude, because OF COURSE we knew it's just some regular guy...but we were just plaiyng around...so we kept watching what he does and when ever he did something we were like "Hey look!! 'Michael' just started reading the newspaper...!". :lol: And then when the guy finally left we were like "Bye Michael!!" :lmao: :lmao: (I mean, we didn't say it out loud, but just to ourselves and we were just DYYYYING with laughter!) :hysterical: We were like "Imagine if some fans actually would think it's MJ....and would keep following the guy and all that! Imagine the news tomorrow...'A man gets harrased by MJ fans because of being mistaken for superstar Michael Jackson in a disguise'..." :hysterical: Yeah....we were a bit bored, huh? :hysterical: And then we were just joking around the whole time and kept laughing when we got out that we didn't really pay attention to where we were going....So we got LOST on our way out. :doh: :lol: We got out...walked the stairs up...walked thsi hall way...walked stairs down....and noticed we were back where we started from. And that happened to us TWICE....and I swear we nearly peed in our pants because we were laughing so hard at us not being able to find our way out of teh tube station! :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: Talking about being BLONDE! :hysterical::hysterical: We were like "Imagine calling 911....'Help!! We are at the tube station and we can't find our way out!! Can you send someone to help us out?!'...Imagine what their reaction would be" :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: Anyways so after the third try we finally were able to find our way out and found MJ's hotel too. :clapping::hysterical: Ah, aren't we "CLEVER!" :tease::hysterical: LOL funny story!oh my God I pictured you busting your face on blue plastic and man that is TOO FUNNY!:rofl::rofl:
