Wow was my first reaction when we were told months ago that Liverpool would be hosting the EMA's
The second was how do I get my tickets?
Naively I thought there would be loads of press tickets or that I could just buy one. Sadly there are only two tickets up for grabs here at the Post and Echo. Jade Wright the Music reporter naturally has one for the Echo and the Post's stand in arts editor Vicky Anderson has the other one.
Gutted :(
I really wanted to go. I hate to admit it but I love pop music and have a soft spot for Britney Spears in particular.
I was set the task this week to go out and do a vox pop about who people are hoping to see when the MTV crew roll into town. I was shocked that a) no one knew they were coming here next Thursday b) no one knew who was coming and that they could run into their idols in local hot spots.
I will be watching the awards on the TV or just reading about them from the papers.
Here is the video I did which was edited by my colleague Claire.
