MMVA08: The Definitive Guide To Being Here (Vol 2)
June 10th, 2008
Last year: street crowd!
Alright you hooligans, the MMVAs are now a mere FIVE days away and y’all are jamming up our comments inbox with questions a-plenty. So I’m here to set the record straight about getting your arse to the MMVAs - wristband or not - and YOU are going to READ before you ask questions, or I will personally sit here and fume out loud before approving your comment and then not answering your question I already answered like 15 minutes ago! You know? (I still love you)
1. You can come to the MMVAs if you have a wristband or not! The wristbands give people access to the pit in front of each stage. The whole street will be open for you and your friends and the crazy guy from a nearby alley to kick back and enjoy the show.
2. You can still win wristbands through the Nokia contest (til June 12!) or through various radio contests across the country - Vancouver: The Beat 94.5, Edmonton: The Bounce 91.7, Calgary: Energy 101.5, Winnipeg: Q94, Toronto: 104.5 Chum FM, Flow 93.5, and Z103.5, and Halifax: Z103.5 FM.
3. There will be one more limited wristband giveaway for NKOTB fans this Thursday at 11am! Come to 299 Queen St West, and you will be required to answer NKOTB trivia questions! (More info)
4. They’re giving away wristbands to audience members on MOD all this week. Call 416.870.6824 to book a spot! (More info)
5. You can’t buy wristbands, they have been given away in limited quantities! We can not send you some in the mail, and we can’t pull strings to get you in (we can hardly get ourselves in!).
TIPS!
* You don’t need a wristband for the red carpet! Come early on Sunday and get prime front row access to all the celebs once security opens the gates!
* Come visit us on Saturday and Sunday afternoon! All the performers have to rehearse, and you’ll get to see the artists in more of a chill vibe, often running through their songs several times. PS: We don’t know the rehearsal schedule, but it will start around 1pm.
* We don’t know for sure if they’re giving away more wristbands on Sunday, and if you want prime position on the street, be here by 1pm (this is an estimate - we also didn’t know that the line-up for wristbands would wrap around the building by 2am)!
* They usually don’t close the street until late afternoon, otherwise the crowd waits on the (barricaded) sidewalk!
Anything I’m missing? Ask away!

Do you think if we came downtown mid early afternoon sunday, that we will have an chance of even getting close to any of the stages
more precise, the NKOTB stage
-
If there are wristbands being given away on Sunday, what time are they going to be given away (estimate) and is there going to be a line up and where is the lineup going to be?
-
What advantage does the wrist band give you over just a person coming to the street?
-
I have a wristband for the John Street stage and I know it says to arrive by 6:45pm and that the gate will open at 7:00pm, but can you give me an estimated time to arrive? With the amount of wristbands given out I’m sure there will be a lineup all afternoon and I really would love to get close to the stage to see Girlicious! Thanks for your help!
-

-
FAACK THE NOKIA CONTEST DOESNT WORK
SERVER ERROR
-
ALL of the online contests SUCK because you have to be 16 or older to enter and the radio contests SUCK even more because for most of them you have to be 19 or older to enter. and I can’t enter them cuz im 14.
-
How old do u have to be to get in, and if u have a wristband, will u get in automatically or do u have to be a certain age>?
-
Michelle: We don’t have a rehearsal schedule, and they’ll probably start around that time on Saturday as well!
Nicole: That should give you enough time I’d THINK, although you might have to do some pushing and shoving when the street opens…
Arwin: Not sure if they’re giving them away or not, if they do, it will be to people standing on the sidewalk I would presume.
Johnny: Wristband gets you a secured place in a pit by one of the stages.
Mattchu: O hai ONTD; the area for the John street stage isn’t historically that big, so no matter where you are in the pit, you’ll be fairly close. But if you want to be as close as possible, get yo’self here early afternoon at least, I’d say. Some people will probably camp overnight.
Angelique: Yes.

we’re not gonna get kicked out for trying to meet the celbs during soundcheck on sat and sunday right?
-
[This is definitely a dumb question, but maybe someone can answer it]
where are the mmvas located?
-
They’re at the MuchMusic Headquarters outside the CHUMCity Building, or CHUMCTV building, or CTV Limited Building or whatever they’re calling it this week…
As for online streaming, one of the press contacts told me there will be no online simulcast. So it’s either listeing to CHUM FM online for an audio simulcast, or wait for them to post the show online on AXS afterwards.
-
If someone comes down for the sound checks on Sunday where can the fans stand.
-

How old do you have to be ? To be able to come to the MMVA’s without a wristband?
-
okay so to be in the pits in the front you have to have won a wristband, but too be outside of them do you need any sord of wrist band, or can you just show up. And when is everybody who arent in the pits able to show up, and wait for the show to start. Also when does the redcarpet start and when are you able to show up to that. I would like to know because, I dont want to miss any of the action and i would like to be as close as possible to the front on the red carpet or during the show.
