I mean...I really don't care as long as I continue to get amazing seats at concerts.

Ugh.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

sorry not sorry?

[~angel*ayumi~]

I guess most of the international fans can´t afford to go to Ayu´s concerts, for them Global TeamAyu is kind of useless.
The TA Goodies on mu-mo are mostly not worth it and TA Versions of Albums are usally very expensive. (Because most of them are bundles with goods or Tour DVDs)

[Delirium-Zer0]

Unlike Pieces, I'll be in thankful appreciative tears when I FINALLY see Ayu live... It's now looking like Japan isn't gonna happen for another couple of years for me (maybe in 2020... not during the Olympics, but later in the year so we can go to the Nintendo stuff at Universal ). I've unfortunately already renewed TeamAyu for the year, so oh well. Maybe I'll get lucky and SOMEHOW have enough cash for CDL 16-17 even though we moved this year?

Not that I can probably get tickets through TA anyway since Pieces and I didn't really get how it worked in the pre-global TA days, I won the ticket lottery on his behalf once, and neither of us was physically in Japan to get the ticket receipt... TA members are less likely to get chosen in the lottery if they've won in the past and didn't pick up tickets, so I'd probably have to go to a reseller anyway.

So yeah that while ticket lottery system is so messed up anyway. x_x

^ The ticket lottery should be much smoother now than it used to be.

According to a support staff at iFlyer that I dealt with during the TA tour, she said that Avex's process used to be like a cash-on-delivery model, where if you won, you paid when picking up the ticket and exchanging your receipt. Now, you have to pay through iFlyer, and if you don't, your ticket is released back into the pool for the next round lottery. In the past what had happened was a lot of people had won tickets, and then never claimed (and thus paid) for them. So the language in the lottery about not being eligible for future lotteries is just another lazy Avex example of not updating text, as opposed to still really being the situation.

A bit not true on the unpaid tickets being roll over to the next lottery as my friend had dropped 3 tickets for the 18th July concert but the 18th July ticket wasn't available for ballot during the 2nd round. IMO the penalty for not paying the winning ticket is just a scheme to "threaten" people so they don't anyhow bid and forfeit the tickets.

I'm not so sure. For a-nation 2014 I won TA tickets but didn't go through with those because I also won tickets of another fanclub for the same a-nation date and used those instead... Later that year I couldn't get tickets for the CDL for any of the dates on neither 1st or the 2nd try and had to end up buying my tickets on a resale store. But then again, I remember more people here who weren't able to get tickets for that CDL, so maybe it was just a coincidence, idk.

T-Shirt design

[~angel*ayumi~]

They could have at least used black shirts ><

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I think they look good on white, but white gets dirty. Lol I think a faded black shirt is cool, but a dirty white shirt is not lol.

[Aderianu]

I prefer dark grey. And I HATE square pictures on t-shirts, it's so lame

[spanishfan]

I can do them myself for 10€ or less in a shop or handmade for the price of the shirt only -_-

The first here is very nice because it's like a graphic tee you would see in a store.

This.
I would be at least a little better if the t-shits were dark so the square picture wasn't too obvious, but plain white with a square in the middle? Hate it.

^ Count us three. The only one that looks good imo is the one she's covering her mouth and looking right at the camera, maybe cause of the illusion she's staring right at you

[Yoake]

I was sure they would be black and finally, I'm glad they aren't. It looks good in white.

[hidekirby]

I really like their simplicity.

It would have been even better with no text. Just the square pictures.

[KPL]

Why aren't font colors consistent ?

[lastminute]

I don't mind the t-shirts, I wasn't expecting them to be amazing... so yeah, they're ok.
I hope I get the one I want *fingers crossed*
