Yup.

Imagine if 1 in 10 singles had a ticket for a meet & greet with Ayu, wouldn't you buy more than 1? Her sales would sky-rocket. And sometimes AKB48's singles with these tickets are a lot cheaper than regular singles.

I actually find it quite unfair, like how in western music industry they now take YouTube views into consideration and lady gaga always tweets her fans to links that endlessly loop her video.
