The problem is that I can't change my method of payment I already tried. The normal tickets sell is on the 10th of december right?

Hi guy, I wanted 2 tickets for 12/31 but I didnt win the lottery. Do you know how I can purchase 2 tickets. I saw on iflyer we can pre-register tickets but it's still not available. Can I buy tickets on this website later? Any ideas? Thanks for your reply. I need tickets because this is my birthday...

You can buy them in reseller shops in Tokyo shortly before the day of the concert, they already have them at least one week before the concert date.
As far as I know you won't be able to get tickets at iflyer unless you win the lottery.
You can check this site for the availability of tickets once they become available:
http://www.yokohamaticket.co.jp/tick...cket-music.cgi
Also general public ticket sales will start from 2016/12/10 10:00 a.m., but you will be required to understand Japanese to navigate through website/loppi machine in convenience store to buy a ticket on first come, first served basis for example here:
http://l-tike.com/search/?keyword=%E...82%86%E3%81%BF
There are also always tons of tickets on Yahoo! auctions.
There are people reselling tickets near the venue.
If you are really determined to get your ticket, it's more than possible.

^ I hope these post can help you.

That's weird because if FAQ section they said we can purchase iflyer tickets from outside japan. I triet to buy e-ticket from an other artist in December and it works.

I just laugh at people who say shes old news now. She is no longer the in thing yes. Just because that person doesnt listen to ayu. Doesnt mean the world doesnt and with whats happened in america recently, it just shows how wrong the media cam be when saying one thin and the general population thinks. Storys are made to be sold, ayu still does tours because she can still sell the seats and people do like going to her shows for a good night out. Shes not selling #1 hits but so do most that have been around as long as ayu Look at dolly parton, shes had her first number 1 in decades, and well know signer, I dont listen to her but she sells, same with ayu. I think ayu is just an easy target. She could do better but i think its mainly important to ayu that she just enjoys herself, especially with how her career was to begin with and the control avex had
____
I guess we will soon enough get an idea of her next area tours look too, unless she continues with the made in theme

[js_surrealism]

She is pretty old news though... But that doesn't stop me from enjoying her music.

[Aderianu]

Really simple. Most simple that they ever may create ) But that's so much better than CDL 13-14 and 14-15

I like flags!

[Ruan Borges]

It gives me a "back to basics" vibe. Loving it

[BabyJane]

Now I am really curious about the goods...

[Yoake]

The logo reminds me the emblem of japanese lords.

[pedronekoi]

^ Hmmm an ASIA TOUR would be a nice idea for her. And to be honest I don't think it's impossible to happen. We'll see...

Wow! A simple logo... Don't know what to say about it haha I'll wait for how they will apply the logo in the goodies to have a better opinion.

Hope they release other rehearsals videos with a different song lol We already had "We are the Queens" during TA Tour!

[Evan Odinson]

An Asia Tour would be perfect, I know people would go crazy

[dreamalley]

She could do a few concerts in Europe too. Maybe in Paris or London. Lots of japanese artists do it.

I began to think she missed opportunity to make something at Europe. It's too late for her. She's still a little popular at Asia and that's the only one place where her concerts may have some success

I don't think so... It's not like she would do a tour as big as ASIA TOUR in Europe but small shows just like TA Tour. I can totally see fans from all around the world travelling to Europe to watch it.

If people were going to travel all the way around the world, I think they would just go to Japan.

Overall, I agree that the time has passed and the only way I see if working would be done in conjunction with some kind of Japan Expo or anime convention.

The only band/artist that immediately comes to mind that consistently tours worldwide is Hyde/Vamps/L'arc en Ciel, and I really get the feeling that it is more of a passion project than something that makes them great money especially Hyde/Vamps who are consistently playing small club venues overseas.

Also the bands people are mentioning are visual kei bands, which the genre itself has a built in set of fans worldwide that are into the genre; I would say jpop in general is less popular than visual kei outside of Japan, whereas actually in Japan it is the exact opposite.
