^ mostly resellers. It's easier and most of the times cheaper to join TA and buy there though, unless you really want to choose a good seat

^I always ask my friend to get me tickets and every time he got me the furthest seat possible so except for the very first time (and I regret it so much, since It was 2nd date for Rock n'n Roll Circus and an awesome concert) I exchanged them in resellers for better ones anyway.

^ Yeah, like I said, the only way to guarantee that you get a good seat is to buy from a reseller. But if you're on a low budget and don't want to pay too much extra, buying from TA is most likely gonna be cheaper, even including the membership fee.

Thanks guys! Well noted :D

Hmm, I would have thought that if you by seats from TA you'd get better seats, since it's the fan club..?

nope, it's all random. Though global TA members seem to get better seats (not amazing, some of them are quite far from the stage, but I've always gotten arena seats from the global TA lottery)

I would always get Arena B & C seats, I also know people who'd get Arena A a couple of times (TA). If you go with general lottery you will most definitely not get arena seats.

^ even Japanese TA members? because from what I've heard, the Japanese fanclub members can also get non-arena seats (and not only TeamAyu, other artists as well)

My friend has gotten Arena seats in that one time he won the Global lottery. It was pretty near the centre stage :)

The only time I applied for TA tickets, I won Arena seats really close to the center stage. For the first day I was just one seat away from the center stage and in the second day I was 3 seats away from the runway. I don't know if it was because it was my first time aplying or because I'm a foreigner member... or just lucky.

I only know for Kuu. And for her it's really, really hard to get arena seats. No matter if global or Japanese FC.
I only know one global member, who ever got arena seats and this was for The Artist, a special line of concerts, and not one of her tours. I got 2nd level tickets both times I went (one time tickets through the Japanese FC, the other time the global). Lee-chan her on the forum went to see her 7 years in a row with tours and special concerts and never got arena seats for arena tours and concerts...

I always wondered, why it seems to be easier to get arena seats with Ayu.

I also always got Arena seats from Global TA (I bought tickets for 6 concerts via Global TA, half of them were still quite far away from the stage though), but I'm curious if it's because I live overseas, so I'd appreciate if people living in Japan shared their their experience ^^ And I'm also curious if anyone has ever managed to get Arena seats from the general sale.

somebody has a mp3 rip of ourselves?

Oh wow, this all sounds so complicated! I just thought, you know, if you want seats from near the Arena you just have to be quick and get the best seats before they're taken! :roflmao

^ no, it's all random via a lottery, you can't choose the seat :laugh

A friend of mine bought tickets to the same concert as me at Lawson and she get the worst seats ever. She said Ayu was just a tiny dot jumping around lol

And I got better seats from buying through Lawson than I did some of the times I went through TA, lol

There's really no rhyme or reason to it

I was a Japanese TA member when I lived over there and I'm pretty sure all of my seats were in the stands from what I remember. As a global TA member I've gotten amazing seats right by the stage.

thats probably because kuu is known to have songs she brings fans up to the stage
