it's my first time applying to a ticket lottery so I am wondering how good the chances are to get tickets for the 31st of december concert?

Does any of you know about that? I am a member of the international TA Fanclub and I already applied for two tickets for that day. I actually planned to get 3 tickets not knowing that it's only possible to apply for two. So one of my friends need to get her ticket through the normal lottery. How high are the chances that we 3 can get the tickets for the same concert and are the seats given out randomly?

Sorry for the mass of questions ^^'
I hope you can help me

I think international fans get somewhat privilege, when I applied to the 29th and 30th last year i got both of those concert dates and my seats were literally the best in the concert probably, like 5th row and right beside the runway. I think you have a good chance for the 31st.

^I agree, I was a team ayu member with a Japanese account and address (via tenso) and I applied for 2 dates, 3 different lotteries for CDL14-15. I didn't get a single ticket and had to purchase mine from another user here. I switched/re-applied my membership for an international account because of that.

Don't get her/his hopes too high on the good seats because i got B7 (in the last rows behind and on the far right) and C6 when i applied and those seats sucks when you travel 10 000km to see your fave singer live , i was really upset because i had so many expectations after reading a lot of people saying international TA members usually get awesome seats.

Probably they changed that "rule". Everyone used to win eveything and get best seats before, that was true.

[Zeke.]

I don't like the song either.

Hmmm I also got amazing seats for AT 2015. On the first day I got B1 and on the second day I got A4 or something. Just one seat away from the runway. But I don't know if that's because I'm an international fan lol

I agree with this. At the TA tour this year I got 3 tickets all in the the first 100, meaning I got the highest chance for being able to get front row.

My tickets for the TA Tour were 54 and 55. so I have to agree international fans about international fans getting better seats, probably because so few actually apply and even fewer back up their lottery wins with the money to buy the tickets, I honestly believe I was the only non Asian in attendance for the TA Tour. I thought there would be hundreds of people from Europe, USA,

If I guess correctly, the CDL will be broadcasted in live for the new year's eve!

yeah!

[rainbow_smile]

I think they either changed it, or it was a coincidence. My seats last year were AMAZING on both dates. Like, around 6th-9th row. This year I applied for 3 dates and I only had a really nice seat at one of those concerts. But that was AT, not CDL.

[Chibi-Chan]

Does someone know if you can watch the live broadcast somehow via the internet?

Not possible.

[Aderianu]

I miss online broadcast once I watched CDL and it was sooo cool. Because of time difference it didn't affect my celebration

[Chibi-Chan]

^same here! I so would love to do it again! When the concert finished it was around 5pm here I think, it was pretty cool to celebrate with a live Ayu concert and afterwards having a party with friends.

[ayuuk]

^I seem to remember the online live broadcast was a paid one during CDL 2011-12?

[voltron]

I think she did it two different years, with two different services, maybe? I think one was a Japanese service, and the other was UStream. I paid and watched the year it was UStream, which was the Hotel Love Songs CDL.

[EndOfTheWorld]

I remember when she did a livestream for the Countdown but I found out about it too late and never got the chance to watch live.
I would love for her to do that even though everyone is in different time zones.
