Here is Osaka Jo hall Sheet:

Neither of them are arena (standing) seats, that's all I can make out. You need a reference where you can see which blocks are which.

[~angel*ayumi~]

-___-
It´s so hard to find 3 good tickets near each other...
I want as close to the stage as possible 8and as I can pay xD)

[kel64]

Sorry, another ticket question
Here is an example ticket...
http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b72860094

Now, this is located in this area, correct?



Now, the C2 part, is that the middle block? Can't seem to find that out on the arena site.

[immel]

That's weird, they blocked out the text where it says if it's in the center or the elevated positions.

In the info lower down it says it's in the center, so what you encircled should be correct.

[oro77]

I did not know tickets were already available, I am so late.

I will try to go to the Saitama one, I wanted to go to Yokohama too but it is during week days ...
I don't find any maps of the Saitama super arena, can someone post it here ?
Don't know which places are good or bad.

i intend to spend 15 000 yens for 1 ticket, do you think I can have good place?
(Not so easy to find only 1 ticket on Yahoo auctions, most of the time it's 2 tickets. My friends don't like Ayu.)

EDIT : I found this

Your best bet is NOT to get tickets the official way, especially for something that sells out quick and it's not the presale. For ayumi, if you want even a remotely good seat, surf Yahoo!Japan Auctions or ticket.co.jp. I bought a ticket using Ticket Pia once, where you just print out the reciept and pay at the register in FamilyMart, but you should probably use a deputy service to buy the ticket from auction and ship it to you. See my PM.

@kel64
It's not blocked out, it's above it, there it says in the center. Above C2 it says center (sentaa, センター). If it's the blocks on the side, then is says アリーナ (arena).

Like I said before Yokohama Arena is quite confusing, you just have to look at the right things. I found it by asking the same question, what is the difference on the ticket? By comparing a few, I found the answer. センター　or アリーナ.

Center and Arena should be the same thing, at least the arena seats in Yoyogi Stadium is the same as what's called the center seats in Yokohama arena.

[JinHamasaki]

So I'm looking at tickets...

Can anyone give me a rundown on what the ideal places to sit at? I mean, I know it goes from alphabetical order, but then some of the tickets begin with numbers?

So I guess I'm asking, what are the best seats for the best price? I figured it would be in the B and C seats, but I was thinking that maybe some of the side elevated seats won't be bad.

I was looking at this:

[immel]

The price for them tickets is very cheap, and there's no bids, so I doubt it's very good seats. I don't know how Saitama Arena looks so I can't help you much, sorry.

[oro77]

I wonder why the concert dates are often in the week days.
I can only go to the Saitama ones.
I wanted to go to the Yokohama ones, but it would be hard, the concert begins so early.

There are also concerts to Fukuoka but I don't really know if I will go, it is pretty far. I wonder if the town is nice, maybe I can travel in Kyushu.

Has someone been to a Fukuoka concert ? I think it is small but I don't really care.

[immel]

The smaller the concert the better, Ayu wont be smaller if the arena is smaller, it'll be cheaper for you and you will be WAY closer to Ayu. Also, the sound will probably be a lot better if the arena is more decently sized.

Yes I think the same too. Ayu will be much closer to the public.
But it may be "too much" to go that far, only to go to see Ayu7s concert. Even for me ^^

So if the town is nice, I can spend a good week end by visiting the place and enjoying the concert after
I would go without problem if it was not so far from Tokyo.

If someone has already done it, please give some advice for the trip.
(I live in Saitama ken near Tokyo.)

I've never been, but I'm trying to organize a trip after my graduation in June to catch the last show in Fukuoka (at the Marine Messe) on 6/10, and then catch Mika's show (I forget where it is) on 6/12. :3 Maybe I'll see you there!

[JinHamasaki]

I'm going to the Saitama concert on 3/11 but I am going to be in Tokyo for a week.

I looked at the railways and it's not that hard to navigate. Everything within Tokyo is about a half hour and the majority are much less on the rail.

Sweet! Another person going to the 3/11 concert. ^_^

Where are you staying at Aleema? My friends and I will be at Sakura hostel in Asakusa.

[oro77]

I just checked, Fukuoka is quite a big city. It is the biggest one in Kyushu.
The stadium is also quite big, bigger than Yoyogi, same size than Saitama one, 11 000 seats.

It seems to be a really nice area, I think I will go, I just need to find a cheap hotel for 2 days.

Do you guys already have tickets? You got better to get ticketes before making reservations for sakura house.

I think sakura house apartment are OK for 1 month minimum.
If someone is interested, I have a contact renting his apartment. I don't know if it's still available but PM me for email.

Here is the description of the apartment :
Location :
Sakuradai station on Seibu-Ikebukuro line, 1minute walk
Nerima station on Seibu-Ikebukuro line, 5 minutes walk
To Ikebukuro 8 minutes on the train from Sakuradai station,
To Shinjuku 5 minutes on the train from Ikebukuro,
Or 15 minutes from Nerima station (directly)
Room : 1R mansion (appartement) 26m2
bath, toilet, double bed, TV, microwave oven, washing machine, fridge
Rental fee : \4,000/day

I have been there for 2 weeks, a very good place. Only bad thing is the kitchen, the hot plate(?) doesn't work but there is a microwave. Last bad thing is the location, to go to Shinjuku, there is a norikae(changing line=expensive) at Ikebukuro

Yoyogi Stadium is the same size, Super Saitama Arena can hold at most 37,000 people, although Ayumi uses the smaller version of it that holds around 17,000 if I remember correctly.
