Yes I feel superlucky with the lottery!
Yeah I'm going to the first two in Saitama and then one in May in Yokohama. (I wont be here for the last shows so I couldnt try for those. >.<) I'm already selling my extra tickets for Saitama to crea.spain so I will have a friend to go with too. We'll see what happends with the Yokohama one... :)

I had to buy them as a pair - so it was about $1,300 US. Lol. I resold one of the tickets for $100 US outside the event. Yeah it sucked but I thought it was worth it for the seat I got anyway. I had always wanted to see Ayu so when I decided to do it, I figured "why not do it the right way?" The thing that sucked was the kid I resold my ticket to caught the A BALL! :(

So wish I was going Japan this year. :( I'm going to Europe instead for 3 months between July - October. If she announces some shows in November and I have some left over money.. maybe. I'm sick of waiting to go!

Oh poor you :no I image how sad you must have been..
But thanks for the info. :yes


Ok, thanks for info ;) Have fun at the shows, you are so lucky indeed :laugh
I hope I can go for the last show in Tokyo.

I think the public lottery for tickets has been open for a while now. But the deadline passed yesterday, I believe...

Annouce the tour's album already :(

Last year NEXT LEVEL was announced on 13th February. =P

It's 9 more days... Hopefully there will be news before that!

Last Year NEXT LEVEL was announced on 10th February so let's hope we get the Announcement finally on Tueseday or Wednesday:yes

I really can't wait anymore...I need informations nooooow!!!*haha*

anyone got saitama ticket to sell? Either 1st or 2nd will be fine

I really hope I can go to one of the ones in April as I'll be in Japan then.

What are the best ways to get tickets?

Personally, I'd say resellers shops. Go a couple of days before the concert and there should be enough tickets available to choose which one you want (or, how much you can afford!).

The last couple of years I've got a B-Block ticket for around ¥15,000. This is on the arena floor, and close to the centre circle of the catwalk. Plenty close enough for me.

Then there are tickets for the stands and further back on the floor which are a lot cheaper, and closer to the official sale price.

The website I use is:

http://www.yokohamaticket.co.jp/ticket/ticket-music.cgi

Check nearer the time, and they'll start to list the stock they currently have. Some tickets are sold in pairs, but they'll probably split them into singles if you want one.

Hope that helps!

YAJ is a great way to get tickets, but those are often very expensive, and since foreigners can't order off of YAJ, you'll either have to order them through a middleman, or if you have a friend in Japan, ask them to do it for you. That's how I ordered my tickets for AT08, and I paid 10,000yen (roughly $100 back then) for a ticket at the top in the back.

For AT09, I got my tickets from a reseller shop. My friend got tickets two days before the show, and paid 30,000yen for a pair of tickets that were right next to the side of the stage (first-level up). We bought a pair of tickets for 12,000yen the day of the other show, and those were in section C, right next to the middle stage.

Of course, knowing people in TA or in Japan who are able to buy them via phone or convenience stores is great, too, but those sell out extremely quickly. Or even knowing people with free front-row tickets is great, too. (I almost got a pair of those for AT09, but didn't know she had the tickets until the next day DX)

Just buy tickets however you feel comfortable most - if you definitely want a ticket before the show, buy them off the internet. There's always tickets available at reseller shops, though, in case you don't want to spend all that money on YAJ.

Thanks guys!

I have a friend in Japan at the moment who said he would look for me but he's not the most reliable person in the world :no So I'm trying to figure out a backup plan just in case!

Are the reseller shops like proper shops or are they booths? Sorry for asking so many questions, I just want to be absolutely sure for when I'm over there.

Well, the Yokohama Ticket places are shops that have the tickets in glass cases, so you can see what they've got. Just find the person behind the counter then point to which one you want :)

EDIT:

^ Ah, that's the one in Shibuya.

@powpowparn - Reseller shops are always buildings. Look out for "tour posters" (like in this photo) and lots of glass cases. The tickets are always in glass cases, and the cases are always decorated or have signs with the particular artist / tour.

In the ticket thread here, there are descriptions of where each of the reseller shops are. The pictures Matthew and I posted are from the reseller shop in Shibuya, which is a really good shop and has a really good selection. I personally wouldn't recommend the shop in Harajuku on Takeshita Dori, because they never seem to have a good selection.

Have tickets gone on sale yet? I'm thinking of asking anybody I know in Japan to buy a ticket for me but I don't know if they're on sale yet...

i wish i know someone who has connection to the front row seats lol

every time i go to yoyogi to watch her concert, i spend more than $400 :(
but it was arena C, so it was worth it :)

Brilliant, thank you so much! Where I'm staying it looks like Shibuya is a short train ride away so I'll make sure to go there on my first day if my friend can't/doesn't get me any.

The re-sellers shop like the one in Shibuya, there is one in Harajuku and one in Ueno as well. If you can understand japanese a little, you can ask the sells person to look in the computer to tell you if the other stores have tickets as well.

When I went at Shibuya location, I didn't find tickets I wanted so Elin (thank you!!) asked for me, for the guy to check for me. Ueno had tickets a little better, but very expensive. And Harajuku didn't have much... I ended up buying at Shibuya.

Ayu was in the front glass to the right of the shop's door.

I'm planning to go there on the 15th and 16th of May in the Yokohama like I went last year.

I sent 30 000 yen to my friend who lives in Japan so she can buy tickets again for me :d

I was in the A bloc, very good seats very close to the stage.

Lets keep our fingers crossed for those who attend to go there ... :)
