Thank you !! And just wanted to know - if ballot for tickets in TA, do we have to pay immediately ?

No but you will need to submit credit card details. It will only be deducted once you have "won the lottery" / have your tickets confirmed and assigned to you. Interestingly I have received notification that my card has been billed prior to being notified that my tickets were confirmed lol.

I believe we don't know our seats until we pick up our actual ticket the day of the event. The A number is just a reference number, not your actual seating.

Ah! Thanks for the clarification! Guess I got over-excited 😅

Out of curiousoty, are you in the Japanese fan club? I’ve always gotten the lottery and excellent seats when in the foreign fan club, but it was definitely hit or miss when I was in the Japanese one.

Does anyone who is getting more than one ticket know whether we need to change the name on the second ticket if we’re bringing someone with us?

Both tickets say my name and just wondering if I need to change the name on the second ticket or if it’s all good as long as the second person is with me?

[kendelle]

Will be fine as long as you're there to pick them up I took a friend back in 2019 and only used my name.

You will need your passport and access to the internet on your phone so they can see you're a current TA Member. Screenshots of your Member QR code were fine a few years back in 2015 and such but in 2019 they made me refresh the page to "confirm" lol

Foreigners tend to be all put together and in my experience you're pretty close to the stage (no more than 15-ish rows back) so you should all be close together. Congrats on the tickets!

I'm hoping out for streaming.

I’m in the JP fan club :-/

In 2017/2018 when I saw her several times, I did an experiment where the first several shows I applied under the foreign fan club, and the last I applied under the Japanese one. The foreign one was much much better.

I had my best tickets in the japanese one xD (there wasn´t an international back in 2012 though)

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I’ve honestly never looked into the international one since I live here. Would I need to use like, my parents address/phone number? Lol

This can be a hit or miss, out of the six shows i attended, two or three were mediocre seats

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Didn’t get tickets this time either lol.

If there’s another round, we’ll all try for 1 ticket instead of 3 I think…

[Irish_Ayu_Fan]

Looks like they’re trying to get a 3rd round done per Instagram. I wonder if it matters which lottery you were successful in and all tickets will be random or would closest to the stage be reserved for first round etc

Due to the structure of the stage, there is a possibility that the performance and images may be difficult to see.

@tokyoxjapanxfan I hope you can catch some tickets this time!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Thank you!
Although it reads like these tickets are all for really sucky seats ;_;

[Sim']

Not all but yeah, there's a chance the seat won't be great indeed...

"Reserved seat with annotations" will also be available from this advance reservation!

Had she ever had those Reserved seat with annotations in the past ?
I don't remember reading anything about it, even for circular stages...

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Ah, yes, I read it too quickly haha.
There are “normal” seats as well as, for lack of better words, “bad” seats. But you could choose which to apply for. I applied for the normal seats as my first choice, and the bad seats as my second choice.

I believe these bad seats are the seats that were added to accommodate more people. Since most concerts have a portion of seats that are unused because you can’t see the stage, etc., I guess she just opened up some. (And, at least in the time I’ve been in Japan, I don’t remember her ever doing this.)
