Hai, I'm Mirjam, I live in the Netherlands, 41 years old, married and mother of two wonderful children (girl, 15 years, boy, 11 years)
I have been an admirer of Michael since his first single.
My dad used to play the songs Michael sings on the piano, so it brings back lots of memories... Luckily my dad never sang the songs...!

Tomorrow I'm going to do my best to get tickets for the concert in may, cross my fingers that I will succeed...

Bye, Mirjam

Hi Mirjam,

Welcome to this board! It's a great bunch of people who all have one thing (at least) in common; the interest in Michael and the music he makes!

Good luck tomorrow in "scoring" tickets.... I'll be doing the same thing!

Hi Mouse,

Thanks for the warm welcome! Maybe they can spare some tickets for us tomorrow morning??? I just heard that they've put a advertisement in a big newspaper in Holland so we won't be the only ones...
I've seen Michael in de HMH, it was just great, when he sang without microphone... I doubt he will do something like that in Arnhem?

Bye, Mirjam

Hoi Mirjam,

Welkom uit België.

Groetjes, Dieter



Hi Mirjam,

Welcome from Belgium.

Regards, Dieter

[ANAngel]

Welcome!

[mirjam524]

Hai Dieter and ANAngel, Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome to the board Mirjam! Hope you scored some good tickets for the Gelredome show.

Michael always finishes a show with Song For You, so you'll atleast be hearing the song, with or without mic!

I was also at the HMH show btw. Those were some good times. Gelredome is massive, not really digging it, but ah well.

[mirjam524]

Hai Whitney,

Yes, I'm afraid of that too... that the Gelredome is so much bigger than the HMH... but on the other hand, I just want to see him, and I do have great tickets...
The rest of the family is fighting over the other ticket, one thing is for sure, 1 ticket is for me!

Do you already have tickets, or is that a stupid question?

Bye, Mirjam

[splendid-renate]

Hoi Mirjam!

Welcome to the board, do you have good tickets?
I like the HMH better too, it's not so far from where i live and more intimate
But the boy is really famous now , so i guess he will not perform there anymore

anyway, wish you a lot of fun already ! still 6 months to wait

groetjes, Renate

[mirjam524]

Hai Renate,

I live in IJsselstein, near Utrecht, so Amsterdam is closer for me too, but Arnhem will do just fine, that's not the problem. I don't remember where, but somewhere here on the forum I read that someone was afraid of all the women who were shouting and screaming while Michael is singing...
And I'm afraid of that too! In the HMH it is so intimate, you feel everybody is there for him, but in the Gelredome, I'm afraid that some women will loose control and let go... And I want to hear him, not them...!

I got the tickets for my birthday (may 24th), and yes, I think I have great tickets, row 10...

What about you, can we wave at each other???

Groetjes terug, Mirjam

I've noticed the Dutch fans are usually quite laidback during the shows. Though you will ALWAYS have people who go crazy. And it's getting worse in Holland, since he's so popular now. Last time at the Ahoy show, there were screaming fans blocking the back entrance. Michael had to RUN outside through a different stagedoor, to get to his tourbus. So, yes, I hope those type of fans will shut up during the show

[mirjam524]

Hai Whitney,

Can't we just ban them???

No, just kidding, they have every right to be there, but still, they spoil a wonderful evening for everybody else.

[Judith]

Oh I really hope that everyone will be quiet so i can listen carefully haha. I didn't even think of that. I'll be quiet the whole time, I promise

When did he perform at the HMH? I thought he performed in Ahoy? Was he also here before that?

[mirjam524]

Hi Judith,

We can make up a code... everyone here who is also going to the concert is going to be quiet during the songs, and screaming their lungs out when he's finished... shouldn't be too hard, would it???

The concert in the HMH was on november 20th 2005, gosh, it's a long time ago that I saw him...

[Judith]

Haha yes we'll do that. And if anyone is making noise, i'll be doing 'shhhhhh'. oh no, I won't, because then I'm making noise too haha.

I had no idea that he has performed here twice. I still regret that i haven't been to Ahoy, so I was desperate to get tickets this time, and I have. It is going to be great!

[Judith]

Thank you Whit!
Now I see, i missed a lot! It's really cool that you have been there all those times! I'm a little bit jealous haha, but in a good way;-) What i've seen on the board, you're such a big fan! The biggest i think haha.

[mirjam524]

Hi Whitney,

I wanted to say something like: rub it in... But that sounds wrong, because I'm just so happy for you that you've been to all these shows. So, I feel a healthy jealousy, okay?!?!?!
