I guess she would not do Untitled ~For Him~, tho?

Anyway RIP.

She is such a nice person, she cares everyone who she knows.

Do you mean the one by YUKARI? If it is, then it can be found on the first post of this thread. I'm surprised you can see that there were empty seats since you can hardly see anything in the audience arena/stands except the light sticks hahaha.

Oh, I have seen the picture posted by EngerizE of the LIVE performance of SAKURA... Is it normal that there are some empty seats not being totally filled up?

Or is it because it's the first few concerts, and that's why not all the seats are taken up?

There are always empty seats. Most of the blame goes to the scalpers and especially the resellers who buy up all the tickets so they can overcharge for them and then not every seat gets taken. If every seat sold at it's normal price directly to those planning to attend instead of resellers and scalpers, maybe the arenas would still fill up.

That's true. Some seats end up not being sold at Yahoo auctions and reseller stores.

On the 31st, when I bought my tickets for CDL12-13 they had about 20 tickets still in the case after I bought one. I doubt they got sold, as they were asking for 45,000 yen a piece for the arena seats, or 9000 yen for second level stand seats. So I think its highly likely that many tickets go unsold because of re-sellers.

I went to the same shop 2 hrs before the concert start
and there were only 2 tickets left
they actually decrease the price every 1 hr

Aw, what's that arena half empty? =(
I thought at least with the tour Ayu was still kind of popular! Unless it's, as someone says, a problem of resellers and stuff.
Anyway, I'm sad to see it, and for a "best tour"! =C

i'm sure that bc that was before the show started

[AyuGAME]

i believe the picture taken before the show start...

so it's not full yet...

when i attend her show...i think it's 99% full

[Yoshiaki]

Oh... the picture i am referring is actually the one posted by EngerizE.

Cause the picture is quite huge, and when i scroll down to the audience seats ( the ones that is closer to the stage), could see some empty seats....

It looks to me it is like kinda... um, ard 90% occupied? I thought the reasons might be because this is the first few concerts held, and most people would want to catch the final one instead... (cause in ayumi's concert DVD, the seats seems fully occupied)

[Andrenekoi]

^The picture taken by EnergizE it's from before the concert started... The lights are even on.

[brener]

cant wait for Tell All perfomance!!

[marty]

Well, I'm relieved the arena is not half empty! U_U
I've always been certain that, even with the drops in sales, the Ayu tours were still doing good. Like MadonnaXD

[Livey~]

^ yeah
Can't wait for next week's setlist. ♥
