If I remember correctly they sent them for RnRC Tour, but I'm not sure. But yes, you should have a person in Japan who goes to the Conbini for you. (Doesn't have to be a japanese Person ) Conbini is really convinient (hence the name), they print the tickets right away. I think, if you don't have a friend - you could ask people from AHS who live in Japan. Maybe someone will be so kind to get it for you.

What is Conbini? o.o

[Mai82Go]

Little stores that are usually open 24hrs. You can get everything you need at a Conbini. The have little machines were you can print a receipt you bring that to the counter and pay in cash. They print out your ticket for you.

Conbini

^^^ I'm glad I have good friends in Tokyo

btw so you can win only one ticket, right?

but well... hmm if I win ticket for spring... hmm I won't be able to attend....

I think you can enter for up to 4 tickets. And you pick the dates you want to enter the lottery for.

RnRC7D was the last concert that was happening while I was still in Japan...I was a TA member and won the lottery for 4 dates, went to Lawson's and paid for my tickets, but they didn't actually print them out at that time. I was supposed to wait for them to be mailed to me (but then I got hospitalized, had to leave the country, etc). The point is, I didn't get them immediately. I'm not sure if RnRC7D was a special case or if that's how all TA tickets are.

[Mai82Go]

If you're unsure how to use a machine - there are some pretty cool guides around.

For example this Loppi Tutorial (For Lawsons Conbini Chain):


Or read a useful guide here.

Ah, I wanna go and try it!

Of course with a balloting ticket the whole thing works a little different.

^I tried to get tickets at the combini machine once. I stod next to the machine 5 minutes before the tickets would start to go on sale. But I was too slow with finding the concert and the tickets was sold out in litteraly 2 minutes. So I got none, even though I was there in good time.

No it's the same for all tickets. At least for those times I won the TA lottely.

[Mai82Go]

^Wow, you have to be quick it seems. You can only take your time when it's a not so popular concert!

And that they sent them to you after you paid at the Conbini seems really complicated to me. That's thrice the trouble!

[chocopockymaster]

On the flip side, if you ARE quick (or maybe just lucky, lol) you can get good tickets even if you're not a fanclub member. I got an A-block ticket from Lawson's for the first show of AT10 and it was....aaaaaaaaah it was wonderful~

[MissElin_]

^Envy... Well at least I got to sit 2 meter away from Namie Amuro!~

Not so troublesome. They come by your house like one week before the concerts date. You just give them your sign and the tickets are yours.~

Unless you don't live in Japan. Or you have to leave the country due to a certain illness. That complicates things. I never will know what happened to my four tickets to RnRC7D.../sob

[Mai82Go]

^That really sucks! 4 Tickets just gone? I feel your pain. ;_;

I think it's too much trouble. Especially if you're not in Japan. If you buy general tickets from the Conbini they print out your tickets immediately though, right?

I wish Ayu would offer some solution for international fans. Even Johnnys Entertainment does that by now for some of their artists.

By the way, I'm not sure if I read this on TA or somewhere else, but if you ballot for TA tickets and win but then you don't buy them you will get blacklisted at TA, right? So no more balloting for you. They are really strict.

Yeah, they just disappeared. 8,500yen x 4 tickets...augh. It hurts my heart even now, two years later.

If you don't live in Japan, your best bet might be to skip the TA lottery and just have a friend go to a conbini when tickets for the public go on sale...and just cross your fingers that they're fast enough to get something. :/ It sucks, but that's how it is...

[MissElin_]

Or reseller shops. They are the "safest" way to get a ticket. There you can choose seat too. But yeah, really pricy.

[isthisLOL?]

Has she always had hall dates? I wonder how the stage will fit...or are the halls in the tour pretty much arenas?

[Mai82Go]

There are some arenas that just have "Hall" in the name, like Nippon Gaishi Hall. They are "Arenas" just the same. For example the Nippon Gaishi Hall in Nagoya has a capacity of 10.000 people.

[isthisLOL?]

That explains it! Thanks
I was a bit...WTF at Ayumi having halls in there since her tickets usually sell like crazy even in big arenas haha

[ayuuk]

It's interesting that we don't have Yoyogi (yet?)

Somehow I want information on new album/single much more than tour dates... @@ Haha

[njanjayrp]

So does anyone know when are the tickets going on sale?
