The seats empty next to you were probably seats that a scalper had and was unable to sell. And yes it is EXTREMELY difficult to get Ayu tickets the Official way. However, there are several unofficial ways to do so and for foreigners those are basically the only routes you can take. I plan on doing a write up about how foreigners can get tickets once I get back to the states tomorrow - hopefully it'll get stickied, since a lot of people ask about it.

It's not like I'll be taking pictures at the concert...but since I'm traveling, I'll have it with me...and I'd rather not go through the hassle of having to check it in. If there are security checks, are they thorough checks or just really general ones?
Also, how long before the concert should I get to the site to get the concert goods? I've been reading that the lines are hell so I'd rather go early...but I want to make sure how early I should go.
Thanks for any advice!

There is a security check, so I didn't bring my camera with either. However for me, they didn't check my bag to thoroughly so I could've snuck one in.
And yes, the lines at Saitama felt like it was 2 days long.
However, Shizouka may not be as bad. When I went to her Hiroshima concert last year it was much much shorter. However, Saitama had 17,000 people at it so the lines were understandably long. I would say get there at least 2 hours before the concert starts.
