Hello, - I just saw Ayu for my first time at Yokohama, and while this might not have been the best strategy to go about it, here's what I did:
Picking a date:
For the last few tours, Ayu has consistently began in the month of May, so that should give you a good idea of when to plan your trip. I literally picked the second week of May(after Golden Week in Japan) randomly, with no idea that she'd even announce dates for that time period - but going off past tour dates, this seemed very likely, and so I got VERY lucky that the tour debut was my first weekend in Japan. You can wait for flights to Japan after she announces tour dates, but they may be very expensive by that point. I planned all this out December of last year... the show was in May.
Buying tickets:
Everybody will tell you to join TeamAyu, and this probably is the best way to go about it. If you'd rather not join TeamAyu, then you can purchase a ticket through Yahoo Auctions using Celga. The ticket I bought was a FC ticket, and the final price of everything was very close to what I would have paid if I signd up for TeamAyu and everything, so I was totally fine with this, and because it was a FC ticket I got a pretty good seat. Ayu tickets are very affordable nowadays even through re-sellers.
Getting the ticket:
Ask Celga to send it to your hotel, or Airbnb if your host is okay with it. Tickets aren't printed until a week or so from the date, so Celga will not send it overseas.
Once you have your ticket, the only thing left is to go to the show and enjoy yourself!
