Like a lot of you, I just saw a date for an ayumi concert and now me and a friend want to go! For either the 2nd/3rd July Osaka shows. Problem is that it's the Osaka show, and none of these Tokyo maps help much in order to find ticket resellers.

So I'm thinking of using that japan shopping service site in order to guarantee tickets for the night. Cos the show was only announced this week, will tickets be on sale? Have people had a good experience with the site?

Nice maps crea!

I wish i could find a seat layout like this for the saitama arena! I'm most likely gonna buy my ticket in the harajuku shop when i go. I'll be in Japan on april 7th!! Can't wait!

Anybody else going to the show in Saitama? We should meet up somewhere before the concert! I'm not sure if i'm going on the 11 or 12 yet tho, it'll depend on the ticket availability when i buy it at the reseller shop.

^ Just a small note, the Harajuku shop has moved. It is very easy to find though. It is still on the same street, but it is on the street level now instead of above the love x shop. It is even easier to find now though.

If that store doesn't have them, try the Shibuya store next. When facing Shibuya 109 building directly, you will see there is a fork to the left and right of the building. Take the right fork and look for the Baskin Robins sign on the right hand of the street. The ticket shop is right next to the baskin robins - also very easy to find once you are a little familiar with the area.

I went to the reseller shop in Ueno today and they a good stock of tickets for april11,12 and may 9 show.

I have a question though... Some tickets have A2, B3, C5 for the section or whatever and some only have numbers like only 12 or 13 and the like. What's the difference? Are the ones with only numbers floor seats?

A2, B3, C5 are the arena seats I believe. (arena means floor seats) It should say "アリーナ" next to them, stand seats will be marked by "300レベル" or "200 レベル"

There seem to be quite a few tickets available. More than usual for an Ayu concert that is coming up in just a couple days.

For those worried about getting tickets - don't be. I just checked with Yokohama ticket company and as of right now there are 515(!) available tickets in their Tokyo resale shops. Don't even bother with getting them through Celga or anything like that anymore - Ayu has never in my experience had this many tickets available on the resale market before. (and this only covers 8 or 9 of the concert dates!) Her concerts seem no where near as in demand as they used to be.

Empry, don't worry, there were still lots left. At least 30 for sure, around the same amount for the Saitama concert. The prices seam to be lower than previous tours as well if i base myself on prices that people mentioned here. I've seen a few A block tickets at the Ueno shop going for 20000, 32000 and up. I've seen a pair that was going for like 75000 or something crazy like that. That's prolly first row on the floor, hehe.

And yeah like slayer was saying, i think this tour won't be as successful as previous ones. My guess is since she hasn't released a new album yet, people aren't interested to hear the same songs as last year and might think that this tour will be boring since she only released a few new singles. Good for me and all of us who will be attending, it's driving down ticket prices, haha!

I'm heading for Harajuku tomorrow, will check the shop there as well and i will buy my ticket tomorrow. I might be lucky enough to score some A block tickets for pretty cheap. Will post back again tomorrow!

^ What do you mean she hasn't released a new album yet? This is the Next Level tour. It will mainly be new stuff right? Anyways yeah, I actually brought this up in the Next Level sales thread with some more info about how this tour is not doing very well compared to her others.

New album??!! eeeehhhh!! When was it released? Damn, it must've been released when i was in indonesia, haha! I've been away from home for more than 3 weeks now. I'm not up to date on news hehe. Oh well sorry about that! I'll read up that thread slayer.

On the other hand, i got my tickets!! Scored up some B1 tickets seats #59 and 60 for 30000 yen on the april 12th show.

I bought them at the store in Harajuku on takeshita-dori. They actually had way less choice than the Ueno one, but i wanted to buy my tickets today since i'll be in Hakone all day tomorrow. And i don't really wanna risk getting tickets on saturday in case there's only $hitty ones left. I didn't really have much time to make it back to Ueno before the store closed so i just bought them in Harajuku.

That second Gorakudoh store on Takeshita-dori in Harajuku sells only idol/band apparel, posters and stuff like that btw. It's not a second ticket reseller store. And the store in Shinjuku had really $hitty choice in tickets for the Saitama show. They were all below 7000 yen in price and in bad sections of the D block.

The owner of the store in Harajuku was extremely helpful in trying to explain to me how to buy my ticket. I didn't totally understand everything he said, but he explained to me how the arena was set up, he found out that there would be a catwalk by making a phone call and then told me if i wanted to be closer to the stage, then i should go with the B1, otherwise i should go with the D3 tickets he had to be close to the catwalk.

So keep that in mind people! A "C" or "D" block ticket might not be too bad if you're close to the catwalk. The D3 tickets were actually 30000 yen as well. But i prefer to be closer to the stage.

Anybody else going on the april 12th show?

^ Yeah, the Harajuku store over the last year seems to have become almost exclusively Johnny's and HP oriented. It is no longer the best store to go to for artists like Ayumi, Namie, Koda etc. The Ueno one has been the most consistently great as well. Also if they have a really high volume of tickets, they do not place them all out in the window (they wouldn't all fit). Its usually just the ones they are most interested in selling. If you use their website you can see every ticket that they have (each one is given a number) and get your ticket that way.

Wow crea, those are really good prices! Looks like i got screwed, hehehe. Oh well, it's a one time shot anyway, i don't think i'll ever be back here and go to an Ayu concert, so no regrets, hehe.

Btw, i just came back from Hakone. HOLY $HIT!!! This place is freakin awesome!! Went up in the cable car, saw mount Fuji, hiked on the side of a crater with sulfuric gases seeping out of the ground (the whole place smelled like a giant egg fart, hahaha!!!) and ate some black shelled eggs (pretty much same taste as regular eggs). Went on a small cruise on the lake and visited Odawara Castle on the way back. For anybody visiting Japan, you have to go to Hakone, it is soooooo worth it, even if you don't stay overnight.

^ Some of the prices are down to even 3,000 yen now. Even though today is the day of the show they still list over 100 tickets available for 4/11. To see A-Block (ie, seats at the front) tickets available still for so cheap is unheard of.

Sounds like you are having a nice trip.

Right now they are about the normal price for the resale market. There are TONS available however. As the dates get closer the prices will drop a lot.

The guide is now also available in Thai, thanks to maaya. You can find it here. Even if you do not speak Thai, please check it out, the page is really nice. The translated guide also contains some additional maps for finding the reseller stores.

If you want to translate this guide to your language, please contact me .
