[Namie Amuro] Looking for a Tokyo connection for a PAST<FUTURE Ticket!

[everlastingRAINBOW]

So, next year I am basically planning to go to Tokyo to see Namie's PAST<FUTURE concert. Since I'm pretty sure I can't be a member of her fan club because I'm not in Japan, I can't reserve a ticket. There is a link from vision factory's website, where members of her fan club can reserve tickets.

I am basically looking for someone who could help me get a ticket. If someone will reserve me one, I will pay that person for my and their ticket. I've been a huge fan of Namie's for years and I really wanna get my butt over to Japan to see her lol. I plan on going either 6/10, 6/11, 7/3, or 7/4, depending where the best tickets were available (all the dates I listed are in Tokyo).

So if someone wants to help me and get a free concert ticket let me know!

Thanks,
Richie

When I went to see Ayu in Summer 2008 for ASIA TOUR 2008, I used yahoo japans auctions. I typed in Ayu's name in Japanese and clicked search. I clicked around to get it to short the results by MOST EXPENSIVE. Then I used babel fish to translate information regarding the tickets. I went through http://www.akibado.com/ - you have to transfer funds into an account on there and then tell them what you want to buy and how much you want to offer for it. It took a long time to get it though - I ordered my tickets in March or April and didn't get my tickets until 2 days into my Tokyo trip in JUNE (they sent them to my hotel). I got the tickets though so I was happy.

And honestly, if you are going - GO BIG. This is a once in a lifetime thing - so do it right. It will be worth it. I had to buy my tickets in a pair and I ended up selling one of the tickets outside the arena for about $100 American equivalent and I paid probably $1,800 American equivalent. I was 4th-6th row, center aisle next to the catwalk. It. was. HEAVEN.

if u go shibuya 1 or 2 days before namie tour in tokyo, you can actually go to a retail shops that only sell concert tickets and you can buy namie concert tickets from there..

i saw quite a lot of BEST FICTION TOUR tickets available for sale when i visit tokyo this april...and their price are almost the same as the original ticket pricing but varies with the position of the seat of the ticket...

$1,800! For the tickets?!!? I was thinking like paying $300 xDDDD! I do want to get amazing tickets though lol. I never heard of auction agents, that'll be helpful! I have been searching yahoo auctions but nothing has popped up yet. I so wish I could just get an awesome seat reserved lol

I thought about those shops, but I want to have a good seat reserved far in advance. However, if I do get to go, I will probably see the show two nights in a row if I can get a ticket from a shop

^ You have no guarantee of a good seat if you buy through the fanclub. The only way to know where the seat you are buying is at is either through auctions or resale shops.

Yeah, when I got mine from yahoo japan actions, there was a picture of the supposed layout and it showed what seats I would be getting so that was helpful.
