^^ this year was the exception, I suppose. Who knows how the last shows will turn out, but the first two shows at Saitama this year were not sold out. There were plenty of signs around the arena (and announcements on Ayu's website) saying tickets were still available. I mean it's a huge arena, and probably one of the bigger ones Ayu performs at, so it's not like she wasn't sold out in a 5000-seat arena.
