People were mentioning in the past that the tour might raise sales, but I honestly don't expect the tour to be much help. I was just looking up info for the concert ticket thread and found out via the Yokohama Ticket company website, that for only I believe 8 dates of the concert, they already have 515 tickets available on the Tokyo resale market. Now, I have been buying Ayu tickets at resale shops in Tokyo since 2004 and never have I seen anywhere close to this amount of tickets available. You were usually lucky to find a handful and they would always be high priced. Now? Many tickets are already selling for only 5,000 yen (original ticket price is I believe 7,800) I remember when I went to the start of the miss understood tour, a few days before the show I was able to find a grand total of 2-3 tickets available. It's just like eye popping to see the difference now.

I know I'm usually mentioning that Ayu is losing popularity these days, but this even shocked me. I can't think of actually any artist I've ever seen with that many tickets on the resale market.
