13,291 is the total number of seats if all seats are used. For concerts a large chunk of seats are not used because of the space the stage takes up. I'd wager maybe 9,000 seats at ayus yoyogi shows? Somewhere around there.

There is no comparison with Tokyo dome. It's definitely more than 55,000. Sporting events just use the stands, but concerts at the Tokyo dome take up the entire arena floor. But one side of the stands doesn't get used because of the stage so perhaps it evens out.

^

you forgot to add the arena floor to Yoyogi '--'

12,000 (12,400?) is the number they usually use for Yoyogi's audience total for Ayu shows on news programs.

^

that would be a good estimated number

I was counting the arena floor. :) a large chunk of seats are taken up by the stage and stand seats on the far side are not used

I would recommend that you go for the 29th or 31st dates though. From past experience, she tends to cut down 1-3 songs on the 2nd last date to prepare for the actual CDL.

Does anybody knows whether the TA tickets comes with the member's name printed on it? And are the dates for payment and ticket collection on a different day? If so, when is the dates for the ticket collection?
Thanks!
Thinking of going for my 1st ever CDL!

i would love to, but I got to go back to Nagoya on the 31st so I could welcome the new year with my family.And my dad wi definitely kill me if i'll miss it LOL. anyway is it true that she cuts a couple of songs on the 2nd day? Well, i don't really mind it. I just want to rock my work for a couple of minutes for Surreal~evolution~Surreal if there would be.

@kinix
Yes there is member name printed on TA ticket, but noone at the entrance asked me for my TA card or ID card @ HLS Tour

Yes, they have your TA name printed on it.



As for payment and ticket collection, my friend was in Japan at the time, and I think you pay for it by a certain date, then you go in on a different day and pick up the tickets from one of those payment booths in 7eleven, but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks for the info Earth_maiden & ~angel*ayumi~ =)
Hoping to roll for the tickets and travel to Japan on the 30th >.<
Have to find middleman to help me with the payment and collection but some part of me will be wondering if I'll get a good seating and wouldn't want any trust issue with the middleman ^^ name printed is just fine

Can't wait for the ignored songs on A BEST LIVE to pop up in this setlist :lech I can almost smell it being titled COUNTDOWN LIVE 2013-2014 ~A REST LIVE~ or even ~A REST OF A BEST~

@kinix: if you purchase on YAJ by Noppin, they won't ship your ticket to your home country, but they will ship it to your hotel in Japan. That's what happened when I bought my Maaya Sakamoto on YAJ. There was no problem with that, when I arrived in Ikebu the staff has my parcel/ticket waiting for me. :yes

@Gustavopc I wouldn't hold your breathe, Ayu is pretty unpredictable when she wants to be. :)

Yup ship to your hotel should be no problem^^
I got my HLS TA tickets via Celga. They did everything for me, I just gave them them the site and my TA data (as my membership runs through them anyways) The tickets arrived at Celga ap. 2 weeks before the concert if I remember right, so they send it to my hotel along with other stuff I had lying arround in their warehouse and everything was fine^^
But I think next time I will take another way to get ticktes, as I have a good friend now who has many friends in japan^^

Pre-sale ticket balloting starts today (11/9).

Anyone trying their luck?

I am

^ Me too.

Yep, the last couple of years the 2nd day has been shorter.

@kinix - The tickets get mailed to your address (in Japan) about a week before the concert.

She does usually take a few songs out which is weird. I guess it's because they're working on timing things for the final show.

OMG I just won 2 tickets with Team Ayu account for the December 30th date!!

The only problem is with my boyfriend we are only going to be in Japan starting from December 22nd. I need to find a way to pay at a local 7/11 counter before Nov 14th...

Can anyone here help? I will manage to transfer the money from France...

I am going for both TA and A-Tickets' lottery...

Have people done so before? When they announce the results, you can pay whichever ticket/date you prefer, right?

Good luck to you guys! The ones who I like anyway...lol. This is still so far away! I'm going to be anticipating the set list for weeks!
