^The trains run late on the 31st, because hundreds of thousands of Japanese are going to shrines to say their new year's prayers (called Hatsumode). I left the arena at 1am, was stuck in the crowds for at least 90 minutes, possibly 120 minutes, then caught the Yamanote line back to Ikebukuro. I didn't get to my hotel until nearly 4am. I've tried to block that part of the night out because it was pretty awful.
So my advice is, if you go to the 31st show, leave when the final song starts, or even before, so you're not stuck in sardine like conditions for 2 hours. Seriously, you'll be so squished against random people, its uncomfortable and embarrassing. |

^There was about 20 mins where I didn't move at all, and was squished against two random males. They only had the single front gate open, and it honestly took me about two hours to get out of Harajuku. About 90 mins inside the arena gates, then another half an hour lining up to get on the train to get to Ikebu. That was my crappy experience.

I want to go! I have too much going on next month to plan any sort of trip. Maybe next year's CDL... who wants to go with me!

Oh man. Would it be better to go on the 29th or 30th then? Do the trains run late on those days?

^They don't, but the concert finishes around 10 or 10:30pm, and the trains usually stop around 1am I think, so you'd have plenty of time. On the 29th of CDL12-13 she sang Ivy, so if you go on the 29th you might get to hear something different to the final set list.

The 29th always seems to have one or two extra songs that get scrapped.

I remember that I went to karaoke after CDL's NY show. and stayed there until 6 am. at 6 am trains were absolutely free, so I didn't have any troubles. the thing is that my friends went to karaoke at 11 pm while I was at the concert so I just joined them.

Here's a tip btw, if you walk the opposite direction, you will hit Shibuya station in about 10 minutes. That station is crowded too, but not as bad as Harajuku after a concert. Last edited by SunshineSlayer; 16th November 2013 at 07:50 AM. |

I think, u have to choose which concert is your first priority, second and third. Then u choose for how many ticket (2 maximum). Then it will take you to billing page, and u must have japan credit card in order to proceed

Really? Like everytime? it made me feel better. Haha I was convinced that being a TA member makes everything easier when it comes in getting tickets. By how much percentage can the possibility of winning in the lottery be?

When I balloted last year I went for two tickets on every date and I only got one set of tickets, which were on the 29th. It's really just down to luck.

^ I don't know what to expect.
Three days like last year.. Uhm.. Maybe instead of singing a different song during encore this time she'll change parts of the setlist during the three shows? Who knows.. It'd be cool, but.. knowing that, if that happens, we will never have the chance to see all the different performances, I feel bad.
