How do I get a concert ticket?

[mja7033]

I can read some japanese, but not enough to understand what im doing with the machine.

Thank you so much for the link, I'm going to try my hardest to get these tickets! lol

Also, when you talk about re sellers, are these actual stores by Yoyogi Stadium or are they just random people walking around selling tickets? And can I assume they jack up the price on the tickets?

You might find some people selling tickets outside Yoyogi, but it's a safer bet to go to an actual store in Tokyo that resells them. One of the most popular is http://www.yokohamaticket.co.jp/index.htm When the tickets go on sale (and people start selling them back to the stores) the website will list what they have, and how much they are.

There's 3 different Yokohama Ticket stores, although I've always gone to the one in Shibuya - it seems to have the best choice.

The prices can get pretty expensive for a good seat - and I think CDL tickets are even more that tour ones.

Yes it's the reseller stores I mean. The ones outside the stadium have a high risk of not being there at all so that's not a good way to go.

But at the reseller stores there is ALWAYS alot of tickets for sale. And you can choose seating (depending on how much you can afford to spend). You don't need to know alot of japanese to buy one in the store either. And as said before, if you dare to wait until right before the show starts the ticket prices goes down since the stores just want to sell them away quickly at that point.

As Matthew, I use the Shibuya store as a first opption. It's also the store closest to the arena (only one sation away) so it's really convenient.

I usually go for TeamAyu lottery for tickets. It's a lot easier to get annual tour tickets (with good seats too), but much harder to get the CDL ones (especially 12/31 one).

Also tried Yokohama tickets before. I've been to its Shibuya and Ueno shops. If you still have time, you can look around at Yahoo auction and bid for what you are interested in.
