If you are watching auctions bids, some Japanese will like to censor the seats number section on the ticket photos. I do not understands why they does this. Probably they are sly traders. But usually in the bid description you can spot the full description of the tickets (Just look out for the Kanji/Katakana words i had listed).

It's best that you try to remember these few kanji words by heart as when you go to the concert venue you have to find these seats anyway.
Great post mate, I'll add this quick ticket-reading guide to the first post .

@Celaphorce, this guide is very general, it talks about how to get to Tokyo, how to survive there and how to get tickets for a venue in Japan if you are not a Japanese speaker or native. It could be applied to any artist you like .
