You can get them cheaper than that). I took a picture of a for sale sign of an Ayu concert ticket for 6000 yen at one of those shops...

And if it's an artist you really like, and as big a production as Ayumi puts on, I dont think being far away from the stage would ruin your experience I saw Robbie Williams in Germany with 80,000 others and he was just a speck on stage (though there were massive screens) and it was the best show just because I love him (even though it was sprinkling rain and it was sooo chilly and windy).
6000 yen for an Ayu ticket sounds great! Do you still have the picture available? I assume the seat was pretty awful, but still. Also, a pretty important thought just came to my head. This would be mine and my gf's first time in Japan - it wouldn't be a good idea to get separated just yet. I just realized, at ticket reseller shops, do they ever have tickets for seats next to eachother? I already know my gf will not want to go if we are separated. At least, I'm pretty darn sure.

Anyway, that's a good point. If it's an artist you really like it doesn't really matter too much how far away you are. Do most of Ayu's concerts have those big screens as well? I'd assume they would, but I don't know. I think I remember seeing one in a live performance. Or does it depend on the venue? If that's the case, we'd probably be going to the Yokohama one - do you happen to know if they have the screens?

The main problem with all of this is still money - we're both 19 & 18, just about to start college, which is going to be expensive with tuition and everything. I'm sure we'll have to pull out loans sometime, too. :\ Ayu & japan are so expensive! If you happen to remember, let me know which site you did your flight plans on. I'm curious to see how much it'd be in USD from Georgia, in June.

Thanks for all of this information, by the way!
