「ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 A　～HOTEL Love songs～」
 

Awesome!! I was just wondering about this today! :D Thanks!

how to book??

Omg, thank you soo much for posting!!
Does anyone know when TA preorder will start? :D luja and me wanna preorder tickets as soon as possible :D

^they will send you a email when the TA lottery starts

if you are a non TA member, you can wait till the sales start, then go to Lawson stores(in Japan) and buy the tickets straight from the machine. But normally the tickets wil be sold out real fast, so it's best to go down to Lason earl on that day.

For TA members, just wait for the email, then join the lottery and wait for them to inform you the results.
I think you will have to go to the machines at Lawson to print your tickets out within a certain date.
Though, last year was different, they mailed the tickets to you a week before the show.

Not bad she has time to rest until april
(maybe not because of preparations for the tour but hopefully she gets some time)

Do we know when they go on sale?

good for Japan.. bad for me :( I was hoping for a world tour too. maybe someday..
but on the bright side, good news for my wallet.

the list is kinda short compare to last year concert...maybe they will add more?

time to prepare really seriously if i really want to watch her concert at Japan...

is it hard to get tickets?

Omg I'm so excited I'm actual going to this one!
Question. I know that there is a thread of how to get ayu tickets, in how I. Ade it to japan are all those methods still valid for this? When will all those websites start selling the tickets?

YES! What I've been waiting for :)

I might be going on the 9th and 10th :D

After this tour, she prolly in a-nation. so, there's still time for other concerts *hopefully*

oh. 26 dates :D
since i didnt like this album that much im okay im not in japan to see this tour...

weehee new tour!! not surprised that its not an asia tour. -_-

I wanted an Asia Tour, but maybe the effects of the recession and high production costs might have prevented it again, and especially I might not pay attention too much on this because of my current interests and focus, and unfortunately the Ayu factor there for me is NOT very much...

so small this year

how many dates we had last year?

how i wish i was there..woah!
actually i wish for asia tour though..
maybe she'll add later? finger crosed~

34 + seven days final

Nice to see she has a 3 week break in June to promote her massive #1 300k selling summer single ;)

thank you!! :]

By the way guys, 26 dates is long for initial announcement. Her tours a few years ago were considered long if they hit 30 dates after adding the additional shows.

I am SO going to the last 2 dates ^__^

Dates would fir to go to Ayu as well... :thud

No Asia Tour again....>"< I want to go......|o|

Going!~ To the last Yoyogi ones!

I wonder if they will do the center stage again like in CDL...? Cuz they talked about it on CDL. "IF this stage will be on arena tour I want to bladi-bladi-blah".

really little tour. I wonder if they'll add date after summer...
thanks for sharing

wooow I'm going for the last concerts at Yoyogi!!!

Wooow
cool
but I don't have much money :(
Maybe next year :///

oh gosh. really bored now with arena tour. i'd happy to see something like stadium tour or dome tour or asia tour again

A big yes for a stadium tour or dome tour *_*

Oh well, nice. I'm curious to know what the tour will be like. Hopefully she has her older songs included as well. :)

Hmm kinda shorter for arena tour concert this year. Hope she will add a date for Asia Tour.

^Let's pray

The tour has 28 dates which isn't short in a any way, especially considering she is performing in arena's and not small venues.

^ I agree. By whose standard are they comparing her tour dates, Namie's? Namie tours like crazy apparently, and that's not typical of artists.

I'm too poor to even afford a cup of coffee at Starbucks, so I don't have a snowball's chance in hell of ever seeing Ayu live \:D/! Enjoy~~~~~~~ to the one's planning on going!

And Namie usually performs in smaller venues so go figure.

anyone know how to get the tickets?

I'm actually really intrigued by the fact that the tour currently has no name yet. All the past Arena Tours had their names from the get-go. Even RnRC tour had its name before it was announced as the album name as well. So I think they may be planning something big (asia tour again??), but it's not confirmed at this stage, so the tour doesn't have its name yet. If it's just another normal arena tour, it'll probably already have a name, AT2011 ~Love songs~ or something. So crossing fingers!! ^^

As for ticket orders, TA will be the first to get preorders. If you have TA friends, wait for those, they will announce preorder dates later on. Online resale shops will start stocking tickets after that.

i'd like to see a stadium tour for her 50th single ! but maybe it's so hard for her to attract a big crowd like she did in 2002 ! ^^!

hoping she can do stadium/dome as i believe that she can still attract audience to dome/stadium

She has already celebrated her 50th single.

Considering she is using the central stage, there will be capacity for more people on this year tour... So, she will get the same number of viewiers or even more booking less dates...

so she is not gonna be pregnant this year before July.

where did this come from? :thud

Thanks for the info!

^Some had, some didn't...

If i am not wrong, AT2007's announcement came from the CNN interview. Ayu blurted it out even before any announcements were made on ayu's official website. So i guess ayu herself was more official than any websites..

as for AT2008, i am 99% sure that the first announcement stated that it will be an asia tour already. I even remembered that the first announcement of AT2008, there weren't any overseas date and we were all wondering why was it called an ASIA TOUR when there were no overseas dates.

:)

^ eh.. i think u misunderstood. I meant that ayu blurted out on CNN that she will have an ASIA TOUR next year (which was 2007).

I feel so bad for bursting ur bubble.. :( but hell yeah i want another asia tour even though i noe chances are slim -_-

thank you so much for posting this:heart

I know but i think it's still so small especially when she had a tour for her 30th single

I bet this tour is going to be so great! I hope she does a FULL performance of do it again with a full band, all of the instruments live!!! :D

Is the title confirmed? If not, I hope it is not only like ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 ~ Love Songs ~, but I hope something more inspired, like ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 ~ Love Song 4 Last Angel ~ or (this is a joke) Ayumi Schwarz ARENA TOUR 2011

I don't think we can possibly know atm. The title might change, it wouldn't be the first time that one of her concerts name changes.

She might have a big surprise with this tour otherwise she would have tagged on ~love songs~ in the title to begin with, right?

Nice!! Can't wait for the DVD!! xD
Please please Ayu have the same dates for a tour next year when I come and see you!!

i thought that too ^^ if the title was ARENA TOUR 2011 A ~Love songs~, then it would has been already announced...

True, probably it will be called "ARENA TOUR 2011 A ~Mannie is Mine~"

^:roflmao

I think she'll just stick with Arena Tour ~do it again~
Nahh, I dont know,..

I wish I could go.....but I'm in japan from August on :scry

^ *comforts* I understand. Last year I was in Japan when Ayu was touring and I was trying my absolute best to ignore the fact it was impossible for me to go -- and then Dir en grey went and started their Japan tour THE DAY AFTER I LEFT 8| Jerks.

ETA: Hey, look at that! My complaining made me a Daybreak Initiate XD

^ thank you

I hope she adds a few dates so I could go....

wait, why couldnt you go?

i'm jealous of all of you who have been and are going to Japan. :grumpy
there is no way for me to even go there. i need to hurry up and make money, etc. :(

Yay! Me excited! Thanks for posting this!

Well I was studying abroad, and my schedule was packed enough as it was -- plus funds were an issue. It just wasn't feasible.

I went to CDL a month ago and wasn't overly impressed but had fun, and afterwards I was like, I am never going to an Ayu concert again, because I've seen her 4 times live and I can't justify spending hundreds of dollars per ticket for a 5th time!

But I oddly want to go to AT11 >_> Maybe if there is Asia date in Taipei... since I always want to go to Taiwan, I can't set foot in Japan again!!

Aww I'd wish to go ;_; why am I so poor? Baaww :weep

haha since she has used ~do it again~ for CDL, if she wanna name her new arena tour with ~do it again~ as well, she would have done so and announced it! :)

I hope she is not going to name it

ARENA TOUR 2011 ~ Thank U ~
It sounds like her final tour.....

that would be a TERRIBLE name.

Initially, I'm thinking I'll only go to the first and last dates. But, that could change... mwahaha.

Thanks for this! But I cant go to Lawson as I do not live in Japan :( No TA friends either.. Any other suggestion?

AUGH OMG. I have been waiting and waiting for tour dates to be posted for this year. Ayu has been my favorite since 1999 -- and this year I finally get to have my dream come true and go see her in concert for the first time!!!! I am graduating college in May and this is my graduation present from my parents and myself. I am so so so excited!!!

Only problem is, we had planned to go in the middle of May, and we are staying in Tokyo. Problem is ... graduation is May 15 (Yokohama venue) and I can't miss that. The next two are SUPER far from Tokyo ... ... like airfare far. Sigh. Might see if I can convince the group I am traveling with to push dates back to early June for the second Yokohama venue.

Here's hoping it all works out!!!! If so, I will be at BOTH of the Yokohama concerts in June! (why go to just one???? ).

Not a very big tour, but it's not like I expect her to do a 100-shows tour anyway.

http://haropedia.mrwaffle.org/wiki/Acquiring_a_ticket

I often use Yokohamaticket when I don't get a ticket from the TA lottery.

I hope everythings works out for you!!:yes


by the way, when do TA member get the preorder email normally? Is there a normal time pattern for when the preorders start, or does it differ from tour to tour?

Thanks for the info! This may ACTUALLY be the year I can go. *crosses fingers*

thank you for posting..neither thsi year i'll have the chance to attend..

a little disappointing, but oh well. :/

Not sure. We got the preorder information about Feb last year for RnRC.

I smell another 7 days final added later LOL


or even a 10 days final

^yeah..i think this is too short..i think her concert still got a very high demand from Japanese public...so...it's really weird if the date list is so short...

another weird thing is that koda just held hall concert this year..

maybe avex cutting down their live show budget?

Isn't Namie doing an arena tour though? And Kumi just had a gigantic end of the year dome concert so they may just be cutting her budget.

is saitama same as tokyo?

saitama is just a bit away from tokyo like a 40 min drive

I dont know what budget you are talking about. The tour earns for itself... And the tours bring to the record company most of the money the artis earns these days. She is married now, has others things to do, not like before.

I hope for additional world tour dates :)

^Yeah that would be awesome but maybe another year imo. When she isn't newly married and such...

Great news, though I hope she adds some Asian or "final" dates later in the year

basically.. it's about 40 minutes away by train (and the fare is cheap)... a lot of Japanese commute from Saitama to Tokyo and back.

I had a dream this night...
The concept of this tour was amazingly odd ! It was called
ARENA TOUR 2011 A ~THE HEROES TOUR~
And Ayu was dressed with superheroes clothes all along the show...

How crazy ma I doctor ?... ~___~

My question is... witch Love Songs´s song she won´t sing in this tour.... she always left one or two album track out of the setlist (except in NL tour).

Maybe sending mail or november?

Seriously I want ALL in tour´s setlist but it´s difficult

to me the obvious ones are Love song (in the main part), do it again and Thank U

PD: I´m hoping gorgeous outfits for this tour!!! :D:D

I can live without Sweet Season. It's cute and all but it's just not a concert song in my opinion. Same with SDW, it fit for the tour final and CDL but it's time to lay it to rest. And the MOON acoustic or orchestra versions are welcomed but the original can step aside LOL.

oo I wanna go so bad!!! ^^

NOOOooooooo I want Sweet Season. But I have a really bad feeling she won't sing it anyway. Or maybe just for 1 show, like how she sang Last Links only for first 2 shows at Saitama.

Sweet Season is a must!! it's such a peaceful song!! but i must agree that it doesnt fit anywhere in a concert. ayu even replaced Sweet Season with SEVEN DAYS WAR for the tour ending song.. :(

Don't think ayu will do Virgin Road, Last angel, and MOON again.. :( Looks like we are gonna have a mix of new and old songs!

I feel pretty sure that MOON won't be in there. She started singing it pretty fast in the AT shows last year + a-nation + 7 days special + CDL. Virgin Road and Last Angel might not be in there either since they have been performed quite alot too. SDW is more hard, but I don't think it will be in there either.

I'm hoping that crossroad actually will have a comeback and have a real performance in AT. November, Like a doll and sending mail will be in there for sure. I don't think this album will have any songs that never/will never be performed in the end. Since almost half of the songs already have been performed. :P

But like alternarist already said, I think we will get a real mix-up with old and new songs.~ :D

I want Key ~~~~

Will i go?
 

Hi!

I want to go to one of the lasts 4 concerts and i asked some questions!

Do you think its hard to buy tikets for the last 2 concerts in yoyogui? Do you know how can i get them?

And, if its nearly impossible, is Nagoya Gaishihoru in Nagoya? (maybe this question is stupid but i really don't know, sorry) Is Nagoya far from Tokyo?

I hope you can help me. And... sorry for my BAD english, i don't pracice it for 5 years... :S

THANKS!!!
