Thanks for the setlists! I think my mom (she is a huge Arashi fan) and I are going to try to go in the fall. We have been fans since 2005 and just never made it to the lives because of how hard and expensive it is (even when I was living in Japan).
Now, its that pesky issue of getting ahold of tickets. I'm able to get sponsorship into the fanclub if I need to, but I've also heard that this time around even your companion ticket has to be someone in the fanclub, meaning we would need two fanclub memberships. Does anyone know if this is true? And also when the balloting would start for the concerts in fall 2019?
Honestly, buying on the black market seems the much easier way to go, even with the insane prices. I'm just not sure how often they check ID at Arashi concerts. I was somewhat surprised that at Namie's final dome tour they literally checked every single person's ID. I've been going to Namie since 2007 and it was the first time that happened. I don't know if it was just because it was the final tour or if in general checking IDs has just gotten that bad.

My sister joined their fanclub the day before their hiatus news was announced all over the place and it's so ridiculously restrictive to ballot for tickets it's so not funny
Based on what my sister said when she received the email updates and logging into the fanclub site , this's how the new ticket balloting system for the 5x20 tickets are like right now (not sure if it's the same prior to their hiatus announcement)
- If you ballot tickets for yourself , the 2nd person not necessary need to be in the fanclub
- Can ballot tickets for 3 dates maximum but end of the day , you will only get 1 date (wth what logic is that)
- If you & a friend in the fanclub ballot tickets together , you cannot ballot for the same dates & vice versa as end of the day technically only fanclub members can attend Johnny concerts
- Not sure how ARASHI tickets are like now but I know for NEWS , their tickets are now issued digitally & not physically anymore
- Not sure how strict security is like for the 5x20 tour but I know for Japonism Arena , it was through the roof & it wasn't funny . For fans who ballot tickets online , they have to submit a photo while doing so & at the venue itself , J&A utilised face recognition scanning technology to determine if you're the same person who balloted for the tickets
Cos of this , hours were spent on security & some fans supposedly were ushered in so late into the Arena venues
My sister & her friend are planning to ballot for Fukuoka dates . Fukuoka & Sapporo seem to be slightly easier but being ARASHI I have no idea how it will be
Lastly I don't know when will ticket balloting open for 5x20 dates in Autumn , sorry
