Then who are all the lucky people who get all the A-block tickets?
I saw some other thread where they said those are all for fan club members.. but apparently not. Strange that there's no concert benefit for team ayu members though

Although I'm very happy about this thread, I probably wouldn't have been able to go to CDL07-08 without it! Thanks a lot!!

I got front row tickets to AT06 (m)u through the TA lottery system. Last year, my seats were really close to the stage at the center of the venue. But this year, I wasn't so lucky, I'm at 2nd level. The years before that, I had:
balcony at TA Live 2003 (but I was pregnant at the time and asked for that type of seat)
2nd level at AT04
arena seats that were a bit too far at AT05.

So it's really all about luck, even for TA members.
And I DO think there are concert benefits for TA members: we get seats before everybody else!! And we don't have to rush with the general public to get seats!

Repost of my post from another thread here:

Quote:
I've just arrived here in Tokyo, and been to two reseller shops, the one in Ueno and Harajuku. The one in Harajuku has practically NO choice at all, just 2 double tickets for Ayu. The one in Ueno has like 30+ tickets (single or double) and from all price ranges and almost all dates. So if anyone is going to buy from the reseller shops, only consider a quick visit to the onein Harajuku if you're with two people, otherwise, Ueno is your best bet. Haven't been to the one in Shibuya yet
That's it for my current report from Tokyo

The Ueno is kinda hard to find since it's in the middle of everything, and Ueno is a big ward!

I asked a local for directions and they took me there, hehe . I jsut remember it was close to a big white arcade.

I'm honestly glad I'm not buying tickets through a middleman or YAJ or whatever...I mean, going to a reseller shop would have been nice, but me and Raye will be getting in Japan the DAY before the final concert. I'm just happy I know someone who will be getting me official tickets (yet I have no clue where I will be sitting).

Also, Hatix, in the reseller shops you've been to, were there other items for sale other than tickets (like merchandise, etc)?

The one in Ueno only has tickets (I think, there was a second floor but didn't go there), the one in Harajuku has some merchandise, but also limited.

Next year, I'll probably get some tickets through the official way as well. I'm going to get/rent an address in JP.

@JinHamasaki
the shop in Ueno is actually easy to find, it's close to Ueno station, on Chuo Dori.

How do you rent an address? Or is there such a thing as P.O. box?

Eventually when I do leave Japan, I don't want to unsubscribe all the crap I'm subscribed to.

Alright. I have a few questions, I hope some of you guys can help me out.

I'm planning to go to Japan next year(2009), and inicially, I wanted to go between April and May(we're going for 2 weeks), but due to circumstances with my mother's job, we can't go before June 16. My question is:

Through the past few years, has anyone noticed what were the dates for her last few concerts?

I know that in this thread, on the first page it's written her last ones are 17-18 of June, but I read somewhere else that her last one is June 28th(I've even seen tickets being sold for that date on Yahoo Japan Auction).

I'd like an estimate of when are her last performances in Japan. I'm going to Japan for two weeks yes, but the main reason I'm going is to see Ayu. I just figured I might as well make it a long vacation and visit the country afterwards.

Do her last representation end around the same dates every year?

I'd definitely like to have a day in between the time I arrive and the time of the concert if possible. The time different and travelling for a long time will likely be tiring. (I live in Canada, if you wanted to know.)

Thanks so much in advance~

Actually there are two different ticket shops in Ueno! There's one called ticket king and another which is called yokohama ticket (same company as the one in shibuya i think)

Both of the Ueno ones are quite easy to find actually, when I was there I found them accidentally. You can get to both by leaving the Ueno JR station from the first floor, the exit next to Hard Rock Cafe. Then just cross the first big street and follow the small streets below the train tracks! Ticket king is on the first side street and yokohama ticket are opposite the Keisei station, near a Yodobashi Camera store.

I currently have the tickets for the final AT2008 concert, and since I have no experience in seeing Ayu's concerts whatsoever, I've been wondering for a while... around what time do we need to arrive for the concert? Does it matter if you arrive early or late?

Thanks. =) This thread is awesome!

If you want to buy goods, then you want to come early. Stands open some hours (1-2 or more...forget) before they open the hall for entry. Some goods CAN sell out that particular day.

And, obviously, if you arrive too close to concert starting time, you may be lining up with all those that are cutting in close. Then going into the hall and actually getting to your seat may take longer than you expect.

These end dates should be correct:

ARENA TOUR 2004 - April 25th
ARENA TOUR 2005 - April 24th
ARENA TOUR 2006 - June 11th
ASIA TOUR 2007 - June 10th
ASIA TOUR 2008 - June 29th

So it's only 1/5 after June 16th. I guess best chance is to go late April/early May.

^^^ Thanks for the response~

Though that would be hard for me to go april-may >.<
I'm not travelling on my own, and June 16th is the best date for the other person to leave.

Oh well, we'll see when the time comes I guess...

When are her Asia tour dates released usually? January?

^ That's when her past two tour dates have been announced, if I remember correctly.

Well, I have a secured ticket for AT08, and if the other one isn't bought, then Neo Daydream also has a ticket! =D I ordered mine via Celga on YAJ. (It was only about $100, and I'll be in the B7 section! =D) Does anyone know where that would be (the B7 section), in the Yayogi Gymnasium? I'm so excited!! =D

Could someone please provide me with a full list of her concert dates for this tour? Both translated to English and in Japanese, so that I can update the dates here?

The first version of this thread ended up with over 15,000 views before it was locked because of the 500 posts limit! I thank all of you for that, to me it is amazing that this guide really ended up helping people in the way I intended it to.

hello all,
i am planning to go to the Asia Tour for either 28th or 29th June. Currently i am trying my best to get concert tickets. I have a question and probably needs some help from those proficient in Japanese/living in Japan.

http://www.yokohamaticket.co.jp/tick...tid1=32&page=4

Check out the website of a Japan reseller shops above and help me see if the tickets price at sold at per unit.. as in for example:


the column states

Ticket price(販売価格) | Ticket quantity(枚数)
32,000 | 2

Does that means that the ticket costs 32,000yen for 2 tickets or 32,000yen for 1 tickets(total 64,000yen)???

The pricing of the tickets had been troubling me as i am trying hard to get ticket. I wanted to call the reseller shop to enquire about the pricings but i'm in Singapore. =(
Thanks in advance for any help.

In any shop I visited the price was for both tickets, so that would be 32,000 for 2 tickets.

But of course, some stores might have it different. I'm pretty sure I visited one Yokohama Ticket store though, the one in Ueno.
