Who's going for Countdown Live '14-'15 ?

[Earth_maiden]

I saw them all around at CDL12-13, but they were asking ridiculous prices. I love those unofficial sellers, I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for them. On the 31st they don't allow the unofficial sellers or the ayu cars to set up near there because of hatsumode, so you can really only see them on the 29th and the 30th.

I'm sort of resigned to getting reseller tickets at this point, unless anyone here has tickets to the 29th or 30th that they don't want? I'm not really interested in going to the 31st, it was such an ordeal getting home for me last time, plus I'll be in Japan with my dad this time so I want us to be able to do something special together.

Hey, you still can buy 29 and 30 tickets on ticket websites!!!. I failed to mention in my previous post that only 31 show was sold out.
Here's the list of them:

I personally recommend you http://www.cnplayguide.com/evt/evtdtl.aspx?ecd=CNI24821
because it was the only site out of 3 I tried who accepted my Russian credit card when I bought ticket for Nanase Aikawa show.

I won ballot for the Y! tickets for 29th and 30th (1 ticket each). Unfortunately I'm not able to go as I will only arrive in Japan on the 31st.

Is there anyone willing to exchange the 31st ticket with the two tickets i have?

Otherwise I will have to sell the two tickets off >_<!

**Edited**
29th Dec ticket has been reserved!

Good luck! After the final show of A BEST LIVE, it took a few minutes to get out of the stadium area with all the people, but after that it was fine. Maybe the train that I was taking wasn't a popular one? Lol

I guess it's worse for New Years though?

You just need to register normally at this site before proceeding, it didn't ask me for Yahoo account. Here's registration form link:
https://www.cnplayguide.com/mem/cpmemcgi.aspx
If it's impossible somehow and you have any Japanese friends who can help, it's possible to buy tickets through conbini loppi machine.
Here's for example code for buying at Lawson:
79900

^I tried to sign up using my tenso address but I just can't figure it out.

[God_ayu]

I'm letting go my tickets

1x ticket for 29th Dec
1x ticket for 30th Dec

at its cost price (incl. ticket/conbini service charges), 10228Yen.

Seat number is unknown since collection of tickets will only start approximately 2 weeks before the concert date. I guess sometime around next week?

Anyone interested? please PM me.

[Earth_maiden]

^PM'd you!

I managed to get my friend who's in Japan to help pay for the general sale ticket at 7/11. It's on the way to reach me.

I got ticket for 30th, North Block E,2nd level Row 10, #4. It looks really far from the stage but whatever at the very least I got a ticket.

Now I really want to get a ticket for 31st

[hayasaki]

^what?? You already know your seat??????

[Chef+Vanny]

Apparently yeah,it's printed on the ticket my friend received after making payment at 7/11.
北Eブロック　２階　１０例　４番 can't possibly mean anything else right

On a side note, I just registered on YAJ Buyee service,which is pretty annoying because most of the auction for 31st tickets do not accept bank transfer.....guess I'll have to drop by reseller shop in Harajuku

General sale tickets are the only ones to show seats already because it's not lottery anymore, but they are always the worst seats, all stand section, second floor, far away from the stage.
Yokohama chiketto's (reseller shop) already selling 12/31 tickets by the way. Price range is 10-16 000 yen so far.

[hayasaki]

Oh. I didn't know the tickets for the general sale in 7/11 are being released earlier. Our tickets which we preordered thru TA won't come not until two weeks before the concert.

anyway, I hope i'll have an arena seat again!! praying.. >_<

I'm planning to get a ticket for the 29th show too!!

[Earth_maiden]

I'll be looking for 31st tickets at reseller shops. I don't know if I'll be going, it depends on ticket prices and what seats are available.

[Chef+Vanny]

Just won 31st FC ticket off YAJ for 15,975yen. Excluding shipping
I'm almost set to accomplish this life goal. The price is not too bad with the strong SGD imo

It was because its New Year's Eve and people were queuing up for Hatsumode at Yoyogi park. The Yamanote train line had a queue of about 45 mins, which was backed up almost to the foot bridge. The bad luck was I tried to go to the right where there's a second exit that they let us through on the 29th, but they'd bolted it on the 31st and when I got there after half an hour of shuffling through the crowd, I realized it was locked so I had to wait until the crowd thinned out and go out the regular gate. THAT took an hour and it was like sardines being mushed in a can. Plus there was the train trip and walking back to the hotel, so that took me roughly 3 hours. I'm a bit traumatized actually, and its a major reason why I'm not super keen to go on the 31st this year.

OMG, I didn't know it could turn into such a nightmare. I have some sort of tradition to go to karaoke after 31 show, so I leave at first train in the morning.

[Earth_maiden]

^It was really, really crap. I forgot to mention I waited inside the arena for about 15 minutes hoping to catch one of my friends before he left but I couldn't find him. If I'd left as soon as the curtain fell I probably would've been out in 15-30 mins. But it was just a series of unfortunate events. I'm glad I was there with Ayu and it was my dream to see in the new year with her, but everything after that kind of put a damper on the rest of the night.

[Chef+Vanny]

I was wondering since entrance starts 5pm for 30th and concert begins 6pm, can I arrive the venue about 5.30pm instead and joins the queue for entrance.

By the way,what time would the concert end usually for 30th? Thinking if there's time after the concert, I would like walk around Harajuku
