Yes, we do have Lawson's here. I want to check it out and find this. But how do I know when the actually tickets are available for sale? Is there a option to like "pre order a ticket"?

It's a reaaally hard way to get the tickets one.

If I was you I would either beg a nice japanese friend to buy a ticket trough Yahoo! Auctions.jp (since you pretty much must live in the country to register there) or go to a reseller ticket store when you arrive to Tokyo.

My favourite option is actually a reseller store. You can choose seating of your liking (and can afford to) and get the ticket right in your hand. And I'm pretty sure tickets will be avaible when you arrive. I once bought a CDL ticket one hour before the show started (I did that cuz when the concert starts they just want to sell off the remaining tickets really fast so they lower their prices). Anywho, that is what I would have done. Good luck!
Why was it hard for you to get a ticket at the Loppi machine? Was it because you waited last second to try to get a ticket?

Also I do have a good friend who would buy me a ticket through Yahoo! Auctions.jp. But once again, how do I know when the ticket is available for the public?

Thank you so much for the both of you for the useful information!
