Not wanting to tarnish the reputation of fdjp.com, but that guy running the site charges exhorbitant commissions. He demands 30% of what the ticket costs. So if you buy a$1,000 ticket from him, you have to pay him $300 for commission, which is insane IMO. When I helped AHS-ers buy tickets last year, I only charged USD$15 commission flat, and I thought that was quite alot already.

So yeah, sure, his service may be not bad, but you'll just have to be prepared to pay alot more than you need to. So keep that only as a very very last resort.
Yeah I echo this. Before I was able to buy tickets myself, I used his service once a few years ago. The price was absurd and when I questioned him about whether the ticket really was from the fan club (Namie's fanclub tickets usually have a design on them and this was just a plain ticket), he threatened to destroy the ticket. Unbelievable.

btw, there is a 7/11 option other than the fanclub. When tickets go on sale at the Ticket Pia website and if you are lucky enough to get a hold of one, there is usually a 7/11 option for delivery and you can print the ticket from 7/11 even up until the day of the concert.

I know how you feel because I too wanted to have the actual ticket in hand before heading to Japan the first time I saw her. But honestly it really is just a waste of your time and especially your money to try and get the tickets before hand. The easiest way really is to just wait until you are in Japan and buy them from a resale shop. I don't know about other cities, but in Tokyo the main resale stores never have a shortage of tickets; usually even on the day of the actual concert you can still find tickets.
