Today I got a mail from Neotokyo, Gackt-sama will be performing this year in Europe, when I read this, I was about to jump of my chair and scream (which would be bad in school)

here is the mail I got from Neotokyo

finally he is comming after announcing it, I think it was 2007 in a convention as video message in Paris

Nackar_91 1st June 2010 08:44 AM

This is awesome! But why do they never perform in a venue near Holland T_T.

I hope I can get a day off from work to go there!

Mayayu 1st June 2010 09:02 AM

how cool... good luck on getting tickets!

i know the Paris venue, Alhambra is a very small (like indies) livehouse... good news is that security shouldn't be very strong, maybe some chances to approach Gackt or pass on gifts


:eyes how come japanese artists only come to perform in Europe when i'm not a fan anymore? was the same for L'Arc~en~Ciel, many years too late

Azmaria 1st June 2010 09:10 AM

I know I will go on the 24.7.

mom already promised me to give the concert cards as b-day present, I will order them directly on monday, when they are for sale, who knows how long they will sell them, OMFG SO EXCITED

Misato 1st June 2010 11:29 AM

I´m so excited!!! I´ll go to the concert in Munich!!!

Azmaria 3rd June 2010 09:04 AM

little update, not sure if people knew but tour name is
GACKT COMING TO EUROPE 2010 ATTACK OF THE "YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz"

ticket price of it will be 49,50, and from what I understand from neotokyo site, is that the ticket will be send to you, you don't have to pick it up at the concert hall, like with Moi Dix Mois and other groups that were here

Nackar_91 3rd June 2010 11:53 AM

49,50, WTF? That's a lot for an Asian artist with no real exposure. Most Visual Kei groups that come here charge in the region of 30.

Although I'm not sure what L'Arc~en~Ciel charged when they performed at Le Zénith, and GACKT IS a bit more of a "big artist" than most Visual Kei bands, but eh XD

Azmaria 3rd June 2010 01:23 PM

well the price doesn't matter to me, since I will be getting it as b-day present from my mom, just trying to convince her, to also pay for the trip to Bochum, so I have more money to buy the concert goods XD

Mai82Go 3rd June 2010 02:58 PM

That's really cool for Gackt Fans. I'm happy for you guys.

njanjayrp 4th June 2010 01:57 PM

Will anyone attend the Munich show?

I might, depending on whether or not I'm already in Germany at that point.

U-GO-BOY 4th June 2010 02:55 PM

WHAT? soo expensive??? but it's in my city Q____Q

AnCafe were here in Bochum, too.. I find the venue too small, it was sooo hot in there (no, not only because of Miku ;D)..

LiveInBlue 4th June 2010 03:39 PM

I'm in Japan for the concert of Barcelona... :(

Mai82Go 4th June 2010 03:51 PM

@Zelda-Maker
Just go if it's practically in your yard, once in a lifetime opportunity. :) By the way, Happy Birthday!

@LiveinBlue
Well, Japan has many more things that are exciting. Just go to a concert in Japan. That's probably better than getting killed in a crowd of crazy european fangirls.

njanjayrp 4th June 2010 08:51 PM

Both my friends that originally wanted to go can't, so I either go alone or don't go at all :( And I wonder if the set list be the same as for the Japanese leg of the tour.

Azmaria 4th June 2010 10:01 PM

well, it would be nice, for the people going either to Munich or Bochum, to meet at the venue, I think it would be nice ^^

I am still looking how to get there, but NOTHING WILL STOP ME FROM GOING TO MUNICH XD

Yeah it would be nice ^_^

Azmaria 5th June 2010 10:33 AM

oh I wrote the wrong place I will be going, I forgot, that I no longer live 1 hour from munich XD
I am going to Bochum XD

Nukaru 5th June 2010 10:48 AM

Me and Izam will go to the one in bochum too ^^;

Erm.. @ ticket price:
NeoTokyo is the only seller that already gave the ticket prices to the public and normally NeoTokyo tickets are expensive.

2Hurt 5th June 2010 10:52 AM

Might go the live in Bochum... but I'm not sure yet, since tickets are expensive and still need to get word from the friend I'm going with :)

Azmaria 5th June 2010 09:38 PM

well in Gackts official site, as seller is this site, but there isn't a price yet, since the tickets will go on sale on monday ^^

No, i ask me-shop. And they say the ticket costs about 49€,too.

2Hurt 6th June 2010 01:16 PM

Yep even though I find 50 euros rather expensive, they are ok priced, I paid 50 euros for gazettes tickets aswell, I just don't want to spend 50 euros + hotel money on Gackt x.x so I probably won't attend in the end, would've been a nice experience though ^-^

hearted 6th June 2010 02:12 PM

awww my friend is going to be so sad that he isnt coming to the netherlands D:

Azmaria 6th June 2010 04:03 PM

well I have to pay 68 Euros for going to bochum + euros for concert, but sleeping place is already taken care of, I will be staying with a friend, and it also nice, 24 concert, 25th my b-day, just the best XD

Azmaria 6th June 2010 10:18 PM

about 40 more min, and all sites where you can order the tickets for the germany concerts of Gackt have crashed, this is just great XD

Yumsushi 6th June 2010 10:24 PM

Alot of Jrock bands/performers tour Europe. Lucky...

Azmaria 7th June 2010 03:06 AM

anyone had luck getting at least one ticket??? I am trying already for 4 hours, but since it was badly organized, the 3 sites where you can order crashed down and only one store gives telephone info, while the other thinks, oh we can wait, not our problem

what I heard, from me-shop store, the Bochum tickets are sold out, Konticke will start sale on 9am and neotokyo is down (no info neither, only put up the tickets on midnight in their site and then nothing)

Yeah I pretty much spent around 3 hours trying and gave up around 3 am..the neotokyo server is still down:(

Azmaria 7th June 2010 01:11 PM

well I think I am one of the lucky ones, that got a ticket from Konticket.de, so far no mail saying to me, I was to late with order sry, only the confirmation and how to pay so far

I AM SO EXCITED

Azmaria 7th June 2010 02:05 PM

oh another news, from what I read, Europewide are all tickets SOLD OUT, the sellers will try contact the organizers of the events and ask if they can sell more tickets

Where did you find out about this? I thought the UK tickets weren't even on sale yet.

Azmaria 7th June 2010 04:30 PM

I read it in animexx, where we have been spamming non stop since 11pm, I will look it up, but most that were set on sale today, are sold out

Misato 7th June 2010 06:12 PM

I got a ticket for the concert in munich!!! WAAAHHH!!!! I´m so happy!!! :love
Ordered it from me-shop.

Gackto...live....waahhh!!!!:thud

Mai82Go 7th June 2010 06:38 PM

I'm so happy for you guys!!! You have to tell us all about the lives, after they happened. And Misato, if KAT-TUN will ever come to Germany, we can go together. :)

I also read at animexx that one girl called that Ticket Service thing and they told her that Gackt could've easily sold out the Cologne Arena (Lanxess Arena)!!! That is so amazing.

(For those who are not from Germany, Cologne Arena is a big Arena with 18000 seats)

That's amazing. I'm not sure whether he's just lazy or completely unaware of his fanbase in Europe XD

Mai82Go 7th June 2010 07:50 PM

@Misato
Ich zweifle dran, aber die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt!

@Nackar_91
Gackt said he wanted to do a smaller-scale club tour. Some fans are really angry/sad that they didn't get tickets. I really understand how they feel. If my favourite artist would come and I wouldn't get tickets.... well, that feeling must be horrible. Maybe he can add more dates, now that he knows he can easily sell out?

I understand he wanted to do a smaller club tour in Japan, but it's not like he hasn't ever toured Europe before. Then again, small clubs is all most J-Rock groups that come here can manage. I bet no one expected this level of succes.

Let's at least hope he adds more dates or that this will give him a reason to do a large-scale tour once ^^

Azmaria 8th June 2010 07:32 AM

well, when I phoned yesterday at konticket, the lady on the phone said to me, how much problems they had the whole day, server down, phone spam about the concert etc XD and then she said while laughing a little bit, you got the ticket, and I screamed, the lady only laughed (I screamed while holding the phone XD), I couldn't belive how lucky I was ^^

oh and sth else, someone already selling a Gackt ticket in e-bay, it will be interesting to observe the auction XD
http://cgi.ebay.de/Gackt-Ticket-Munc...item19bce83aad
http://cgi.ebay.de/Gackt-Ticket-Munc...item3f007181c0

I can expect for it going over 300 Euros XD

relmy 8th June 2010 09:49 AM

I'm going to London! Got my ticket this morning, my friend was freaking out because we didn't get them through the O2 priority, but we got them today! Eeek! So excited~

Hello queing for hours, I WILL be at the front!!

Azmaria 8th June 2010 10:20 AM

I will be already at the venue around 8am, not later and maybe earlier XD

rusuke 8th June 2010 12:32 PM

I'm so happy that GACKT is finally having an overseas Tour but I'm kinda sad because I'm not from Europe.

Anyway, congrats to G fans out there!!

Azmaria 8th June 2010 01:37 PM

well for Barcelona are still some tickets for sale, but not sure how many, and in ebay you can already find sales for the London tickets, so for those who hope to see him, and are willing to pay the crazy prices in ebay, should check it out ^^

powpowparn 8th June 2010 03:40 PM

I've got my tickets for London! I'm pretty excited, though I haven't really paid much attention to Gackt for the last few years :P

Azmaria 9th June 2010 07:41 AM

some ebay prices are really crazy, for the final concert in bochum is the auction atm at 251 euros, so happy I got one, or I would be crying now seeing those prices

Another chance for the people who weren't able to obtain tickets to that show thats nice :) 30 minutes thats really fast, way to go Gackt :D

njanjayrp 10th June 2010 10:29 PM

So is anyone definitely going to the Munich show? None of my friends from here could go in the end, so I am coming with my boyfriend but he won't be attending the concert xD so I'll pretty much be all alone :(

Azmaria 11th June 2010 05:31 AM

Neotoyko will be selling today tickets again for munich, maybe they are lucky ^^

adantatu2 7th July 2010 05:01 AM

Europa is so far away from me

Mai82Go 23rd July 2010 03:25 PM

Any News on this? How did it play out?

ILoveGeniuses 23rd July 2010 07:08 PM

Cool! Just I live in Canada... too bad he isn't coming to Toronto. :(

Either way, to the rest of you who can, I hope you have fun. :)

Azmaria 27th July 2010 12:46 PM

well since I don't have internet atm I couldn't post earlier

I just will say it was awsome, I was second row (almost first because I was being pressed from behind XD) and gotta say, Gackt is so hot, at the beginning of Zan, we couldn't hear his vocals very well, later it was better.

We in bochum had planned to use light sticks (not sure how it is called in english) and turn them on when he sang flower, it was a very pretty sight.

WHITE EYES was replaced with EVER, which I liked

from the tour goods I bought a fan, a t-shirt and 2 straps (not sure if they are straps)
and at the end he promised, he would come again, which I really hope he will

the atmosphere was great in the Zeche, but one girl in front of me, was almost strangulated with the tie he threw after he took it off, and after that some people were carried out.

ILoveGeniuses 27th July 2010 12:57 PM

^Must've been SO TOTALLY awesome!

Azmaria 29th July 2010 12:29 PM

here you can download the concert that was in Bochum, someone paid to see it and kindly uploaded it, if I had my own pc I would download it too, but atm not possible.

and before you watch the concert you have to see this, the concert started with the announcement of the secretary

Key ~eternal tie~ 31st July 2010 09:47 PM

Wow, lucky people, I really wanted to go but the tickets were already sold out the moment I logged on to my computer. Does anyone know the setlist?
