She just uploaded new rehearsal video with "Song 4 U" playing and I'm screaming, I really want her to perform it again!

avex had to hold tickets for Yahoo's lottery regardless of selling out or not.
So there's a chance of TA losing in the TA draw.
As of now, only Nagoya is shown to be sold out on Yahoo's public purchase.

Hm? I've just checked and both Nagoya dates are still available with tickets.

She also wrote something like this
"Being swayed by music, haunted by music, struggled by music, but it also was music that saved it all."

They are usually good seats though. I had row 10 and 7 Best I ever had in the past was area row 40 and I had to pay like 30.000yen at reseller. The ones I had from Lawson machine for regular price were all 2nd balcony far back.

That's good, though I'm still going back and forth whether or not to buy a "guaranteed" good seat from reseller tbh, just because this is likely my last Ayu show.

[attractive nausea]

^ Guess the "good seat/bad seat" thing is pretty subjective, but i attended Made in Japan in 2016 in Yoyogi and here are the seats i got through global TA :

Spoiler:

The first night was B7 block, almost at the very last row (second to last? something like that) and the seat was on the far left.
The second night i got C6 block, but can't exactly remember where, got 11th row according to my ticket, so i colored a whole area where i think i might have been lol
I attended the 8th and the 9th of July which means NOT the finale.


To me those were crappy seats lol Maybe should consider myself lucky for getting arena seats but well, they sucked nonetheless. When she was on the catwalk it wasn't that bad, but she wasn't here really often.

I really hope i get more luck this upcoming tour, it's not like i'm paying a couple thousand €€€ just to go and see her.

If you want a guarantee and don't mind paying a super high price, then it's better to get the ticket from a reseller. I've had seats somewhere around row 6 on some of the concerts, and rows 30-40 on others, so it really depends.

[pedronekoi]

When I attended CdM Tour for the two first dates in Saitama Super Arena I got amazing seats.



1st day I got a B5 seat just three seats away from the center runway. And on the 2nd day I got a better seat on A5 just a seat away from the runway. The view was just amazing because you could see everything really close and the dancers and Ayu interact better with the people near the runway.

[rainbow_smile]

I can't find my tickets unfortunately, so I can't tell you my exact seats, but i can show you a couple of pics i took at the concert later, if you want to see what kind of view I had

Didn't you get super good seats for Cirque de Minuit? I think i remember you saying that lol Seems like those who went to Cirque de Minuit were lucky

[rainbow_smile]

^ Yup! My CDM seats were amazing, I think row 6 for semi-final and row 8 for the final? And just a couple of seats away from the catwalk. I even saw myself a few times on the DVD

For MIJ, i was around row 30 maybe? for two of the 3 concerts (Yoyogi day one and Osaka day 3), and my seat was really close to the stage in Osaka day 1

But for JTB my seat was, like, row 40 maybe? But not even close to the central stage/catwalk haha I was sitting next to the "path" where the moving platform was going

Yeah, depends on the prices. I started looking, but it's still too early for the day I'm going. Either way I'm definitely stoked to be going. And it's so cool that you and pedronekoi got such great seats for CDM and MIJ Osaka. I love CDM and every time I watch it I wish I had gone :p

Actually I've been trying to find a seating chart for marine messe, the one on their website is not very detailed, just so I can figure out where the seat locations are for the arena. Has anyone been there or knows where to find a detailed chart?

I agree, it's subjective but actually I'm on the same page as you. I'd be ok with them but disappointed if that makes sense. When I saw Namie I was all the way up and in the back, couldn't really see her at all except on the screens. Still loved the show and feel very lucky I was able to go but slightly disappointed in seat location. It's more like I want to try to get as close as I can afford to if possible, just because it's probably my last time and I can only go the one day.

Basically, I feel very lucky to be going at all,but I do want to try to maximize it to have as good an experience as possible. And this lottery system is new to me lol

Demand for Ayu to perform in Singapore is pretty high since many from Southeast Asia would be willing to come over. a-nation Singapore was a testament to that. I would dare say 90% of the audience were there for just Ayu lmao.

we are all hoping but this woman needs a rest sigh

Did you get these seats through global TA, TA, or reseller?

Yeah it seems CdM was rly lucky for global TA, a friend got 2nd row seats for the Semi-finale.

[Chris85]

My CDM tour seats were too close to stage, the sound was too loud and it damaged my ear (it recovered eventually).

I am amazed how there is really nothing that is ever good enough for you

I was happy with my CDM seats (C and then B), was super close to the center stage in B block and got similar seats for both Yoyogi dates last year.

I also had good seats for this show in Yoyogi. I was close to the catwalk on both days.
