Is anyone going? A limited amount of tickets are available here for £16.50: http://www.ukeurovision.com/

 

I've just bought a ticket :D So far Hera Bjork ( :wub: ) and Niamh Kavanagh are performing. It's going to be a smaller event than the last two years, so they may be the only two to perform, but I'm hoping more will be added.

Yep, I'm going :cheer: See you there! Hope they add Paula and Ovi and Miro next and then my top 4 of the year will all be there :wub:

I'm actually raging at the moment. I've bought the ticket, but just checked out the venue's website and it says 21 and over age restriction! F*CK!!!

 

Have emailed the Eurovision party people to ask if it applies to this event or whether they are lowering it for this event only. If there is an age restriction I am going to let rip at them for not making it clear on their website!! :angry: :cry:

Really? I didn't notice that. That's fucked up. But since the venue doesn't seem to open on a normal Sunday night, it might be different...

Fingers crossed! I'll be so annoyed to miss it just because I'm one year too young! :( And if I do have to miss it they'd better give me a refund for not noting it on their site or having any warning on the ticket site either. I just assumed it would be 18+ like the last two events were :( .

I won't be going sadly as my brother's getting married on that very day and his reception will go on into the early hours...shame, I'd liked to have seen Niamh and Hera. And in the four days I'm going to Wales at the end of the month I'm missing the Amsterdam preview party, Sarah Dawn Finer in London and Alphabeat in Brighton :/ I probably would have gone to at least two of the three (probably not Amsterdam :heehee:) but of course everything happens at the same time :drama:

I don't care because Im going to see 25 of them at the same evening :kink:

And I'm going to see 39 (some twice) because I'm going to the final and both semi-final's...

 

Nah, just kidding, I didn't think anything else could top going to the final :lol:

 

Just got an email from the organiser and he said 18+ are fine. Woo!!! :cheer:

Already more than 50% sold out

 

And I find it a bit odd they have Niamh & Hera, who got the 12pts & 10pts from OGAE UK

What's wrong with that? It's only fair tbh :lol:

Didn't mean to put off, I meant odd. Like their's some kind of fix :P

 

Every year, in the Retro Bar, fans watch the preview videos, and are split into countries to vote. Here are the results of the first semi-final:

 

1. ICELAND 142

2. ALBANIA 109

3. FINLAND 88 :o

4. SLOVAKIA 85

5. GREECE 83

6. PORTUGAL 80

7. MOLDOVA 78

8. BELGIUM 73

9. BELARUS 52

10. MALTA 48

11. ESTONIA 39

12. LATVIA 26

13. FYR MACEDONIA 26

14. POLAND 21

15. BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA 16

16. SERBIA 12

17. RUSSIA 8

 

To avoid tactical voting, every fan will have to switch country for the final.

 

Yes I was there :o Surprised that Finland was so high too, but I know some Finnish fans were present. Lots of Portugese fans there too, I doubt that Portugal would have gone through otherwise. Serbia seemed very popular, but it didn't translate to votes.

Romania will now be at the preview party :cheer:

 

Not that I'm going, but I do really like the song

I love it too, if only Miro was going to be there (he's at the Amsterdam party instead), my whole top 4 would be there :D

I find it so annoying how so many acts turn up to the Amsterdam party and then hardly anybody goes to the London one <_< .

 

Never mind, I'm over the moon that Romania will be there :cheer: .

Me too Ghosty, I'd love to go to Amsterdam, but I can't afford to :(

Josh has been confirmed for Amsterdam :)

 

Let's hope this helps us get some Dutch votes - though they can only vote for 10 countries, and I think there are more than 10 at their preview party

I find it very bizarre how the UK acts don't turn up to the London party, or at least it doesn't look like he'll be there at the moment.

 

I really hope they get at least one more entrant to perform in London, £16 is a lot to pay for 3 acts considering the Amsterdam party is just 25 euros for like 17 acts :\

I find it very bizarre how the UK acts don't turn up to the London party, or at least it doesn't look like he'll be there at the moment.

 

I guess it's because they don't need to promote in their own country as much, considering we can't vote for Josh
