Then you wait with your number groupings while you wait for entry (you can see some signs in my picture that are like: 1- 500, 500 - 1,000, etc.)

They call out each number individually, though they can go pretty rapidly as they get higher in the numbers, and start doing maybe up to 5 or 10 at a time. When they call your number, you can enter the line of people who are entering the building.

Now, if you get there late or it takes you a while to get into the main entry queue when they are calling numbers so fast -- then people with a number after yours will still get to go in and can take your space. The numbers are entry order, not a guarantee of a specific location (other than floor or balcony, which you'll have picked during the lottery and is non-negotiable).

Once you are in the location (at least Diver City), they file you in by rows of maybe 3-5 people deep. Every so often there are metal bars/railings throughout the floor section to try and create distinct areas. So if you are a higher number and toward the back, you're probably not getting up front.

Also, during the early shows people pushed VERY hard. But we were so crammed tight that you really weren't moving more than 1-2 people closer or further back. Before the finale shows, she posted on TA to please be polite and be sure not to hurt everyone, so in the video of the concert everyone is standing nicely in place.

Personally, I will say -- if you want to get as close as you comfortably can within your area, that's fine. But don't be a jerk and try to push other people out of the way just so you can be closer. People were really rude during the show I went to, and while the whole show was like a dream, it basically hurt to walk the next day because I was so sore from trying to stay planted on the ground and getting shoved all around (literally at times my feet were not touching the floor because we were packed in so tight and people were pushing so hard). It definitely took away from the experience a bit.

I find the pushing issue really odd, because I attended a concert for mucc and buck-tick at zepp namba and there was very little pushing and most people stayed in their assigned areas, except for some loud foreigners lol. Not that I don't believe you of course but you'd think there would be more pushing at a rock concert than an ayumi concert

Exactly. And a lot of the girls seriously crush on the make dancers and go crazy for them, to be honest.

I also saw just the 3rd show in the tour, and it did calm after.

usually must be a TA around 2-3 month before the show... i thought everyone should know about it

Still don't like it that iflyer doesn't care to send you a mail if your application actually worked or not. I know you can see it on the myflyer page but still xD

They mentioned that you'd have to join TA by July 18 to apply for the tickets when they announced the tour though, which was on July 10.

You could try to find a TA member that goes on the concert that you want to attend, and ask them to apply for 2 tickets.

Just entered my ballot for this year's TA TOUR!! I'm planning to go to Zepp Nagoya's third day. Anyone planning to go too?

Does anyone know how long is the concert? Trying to decide between Osaka or Tokyo which is far less accessible :( will be going alone

You have to buy all the tickets you win? Damn! I was going to apply for all the osaka dates in hopes of getting tickets for one of the shows

well, idk about how tickets for overseas fans work, but I know that if you order from TA and live in Japan don't really have to buy all dates you win if you don't want to, I would assume that for overseas fans it's the same... They say that if you do that your chances of winning tickets on the next concert are reduced though, idk how true is that.

Yeah you technically can pay for just 1 date, you receive separate emails with separate links for each date you won. But you'll have lower chances of winning the next lottery

I've applied for 18.10, 19.10, 20.10【Tokyo】Zepp DiverCity. :luv2

A little bit nervous right now - this is my first time...!

Anyone else has applied for Tokyo dates?

Thanks a lot for the tips, voltron! ;)

I applied for the two finale dates at DiverCity in Tokyo -- Nov. 16 & 17. I really hope she doesn't add additional finale dates this time! But the original dates ends in Tokyo for this year, so I find that unlikely -- it's also quite late in the year, and she'll have to start prepping for CDL.

I hope my experience last year helps some people this year. Also, don't expect the staff to have much understanding of English -- so there will likely be some confusion about lining up and such.

Applied for Osaka first day now thinking if I should apply third day too but scare that the set list will be identical. Wondering if I should apply for divercity too but then only have 1 chance to fly to Japan so is really either or.
Those flying to watch the divercity concert, where will u be looking for accommodation? Imo divercity seems too far away :(

Based on my experience with AAA mini concert where numbered tickets are given out, I hope ayu's will be more organized.

Balloted for the last two Tokyo shows :)
