ARGH I Need Help Booking!
In case you're having difficulty booking these online shows, as some of you have been asking, here are full instructions.
It really is fairly straight-forward but some of you ended up trying to sign up as an artiste which means a monthly subscription and you don't need to do that! So if it asks you to do that, you've done something wrong.
It's not always easy using an unfamiliar platform, but once you've followed these instruction you'll see how simply and quick it is.
STEP 1 - CLICK THIS BUTTON:
This link opens Mike's Channel on Crowdcast, which lists all of his upcoming events (as well as past events which you can watch after they've aired).
Do NOT click on the 'Follow' button at this stage, but instead click on the event you want to 'attend'.
Click on the first event as show here with the red arrow:
Click on the first event as show here with the red arrow:
Each time Mike does a live show there will also be an 'Aftershow Deflation' (the name he's given it) which is essentially extra time after the main show, so if you want to attend both of these on the same day, you need to book for each one separately. That is why there are 8 shows currently listed - 4 main shows and 4 after-shows.
You can't do a blanket 'book' across all shows, but you must register with each one. Once you've done it once, you'll be 'signed' in and won't need to keep entering your details, and you'll see how easy it is!
STEP 2 - CLICK ON 'SAVE THIS SPOT!'
STEP 3 - ENTER YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
​
STEP 4 - CLICK THE ARROW HEAD NEXT TO IT
​
STEP 5 - CLICK THE TERMS THEN 'JOIN EVENT'
​
You will then be asked for payment details, to pay the specific amount, which varies depending on which show you book.
STEP 6 - RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION EMAIL
Crowdcast will send you a confirmation email for each show you book. In the email will be a link to click and that is where the live show will take place.
Also if you are signed in to Crowdcast and you go to Mike's Channel (STEP 1) then you click on the show you've booked.
Either of these will bring you to the event page! You'll know you're in the right place as there will be a countdown on the screen as to how many days, hours etc. until the show starts, as follows:
STEP 7 - HIT THE FOLLOW BUTTON!
NOW you can hit the 'Follow' button on the top right of the screen, once you are signed in to Crowdcast. Following Mike's Channel means you will be alerted when new events are posted and any updates along the way!
You can start commenting right away in a show's page, even before it goes live. And some of you have already done so by the look of it!
FAQs
​
HOW DO I WATCH THE SHOW ONCE I'VE BOOKED IT?
This is answered in STEP 6, but there are two ways to do it:
1 - Click the link in the confirmation email
OR
2 - Go to Mike's Channel and select the show that you've booked.
Remember, you'll know you're in the right place if you see the countdown.
​
HOW DO I WATCH IF I MISSED THE SHOW LIVE?
You don't need to miss out if you can't watch a show live. Simply head to Mike's Channel and scroll to the bottom of the page, where historic shows will be listed. Click on the one you want to watch, and it will ask for the relevant payment, just like when you book to watch a show live.
WHAT WILL I BE WATCHING?
Mike!! He will be singing songs from his piano, and chatting and interacting with your live comments throughout the show. And if you're feeling brave, he can even add you to the screen, and maybe serenade you live on air!
