Going to Ayu Saitama April 2012 concert

mimika · #1 24th January 2012, 03:49 PM

Ok guys this time I really have to do it! I want to go to Ayu concert in Saitama April 7/8. My plan is to go to Osaka/Kyoto for cherry blossom, go back to Tokyo on the 6th to catch the Saitama concert. and probably leave on the 10th to go back home. I have some questions:

1) Is the timing possible?
2) Where can I get Saitama concert tickets? I heard there are reseller shops? But Saitama isn't in Tokyo can I get them?

Anyone else wanna go? Let's plan this together!

You can definitely find tickets for the Saitama shows at reseller shops in Tokyo. I've done it countless times.

What do you mean is the timing 'possible'?

How much do tickets usually go for at reseller shops?

I think I will go too !
First time for me so I can not help you much, sorry

I was in Tokyo all the week ! So maybe at that time maybe I will can help you!

I think I'll take my ticket by TeamAyu but I do not know how! '___'

I will probably go to these shows and I hear (especially if you get tickets close to the date) they are the same and cheaper then list price!

That's entirely dependent on where the seats are and when you're buying the tickets. I've seen some really good A-block seats going for 60,000yen each. Sometimes you can get seats high up in the stands for close to retail value. I've heard it said that on the day of shows the prices at the reseller shops plummet, but I've had no firsthand experience with that. The one time I tried to buy tickets day-of-show, I went to 4 different shops (that have never let me down) and every single shop was sold out.

Even if you win the TA lottery and have a friend in Japan go to a conbini and pay for it on your behalf, the tickets aren't printed out right then and there. They're mailed to the address that your TA account is registered to. It's a big risk, IMO, and you might not be able to get your tickets.

I wana gooooo!! lol

How many days before the concert do u need to buy from reseller ensure ticket not sold out? esp this is the first concert in th year

Evolution7/4 · #9 24th January 2012, 04:34 PM

^There is no guarantee, freuqently you can buy to the day of, but as chocopocky pointed out, sometimes they are sold out. So it really depends. But this is probably the cheapest option. There's always yahoo japan auctions but they are typically more expensive.

Ok ! Thanks for the info ! Huuuum, I've a friend in Tokyo, I will ask her to buy me the ticket I think ! '__'
If it isn't possible I will try yahoo japan auctions, more expensive but more simple I think =s

Any reliable vendors on yahoo auction ?

Evolution7/4 · #12 24th January 2012, 07:12 PM

^Not sure about vendors I think it jsut really depends on whatever seller has tickets

femtrooper · #13 24th January 2012, 07:13 PM

When I went to CDL 11-12, I got tickets the day of the concert at a reseller shop in Shibuya and for two tickets, it was 12,000 yen. So about $80 USD each. They were on the second level, but right above the stage at the bottom so I was directly above Ayu all the time, not way in the back. They are actually really reasonable.

mimika · #14 24th January 2012, 07:22 PM

^i know there is a thread on how to buy ayu tickets...but that's few years back..anyone has info to share on where to find reseller? and how to get to saitama?

Evolution7/4 · #15 24th January 2012, 07:33 PM

here's the thread ^_^ http://ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70001

Anyone planning to go in summer? The easiest option available is Osaka, 21-22 July, if we don't get Yoyogi dates added.

TeamAyu2004 · #17 25th January 2012, 01:16 AM

^ thats when I want to go, but would love to go during to yoyogi dates, (if they are ever added!)

Tony G · #18 25th January 2012, 01:19 AM

If they do add them, it will probably be the weekend before the Osaka show. I'm planning to be in Tokyo those dates anyway.

If not, Osaka is still do-able. I think that ticket info thread has info about Osaka re-seller shops. If a whole bunch of AHS'ers are going we can pre-organise which reseller shops to go to.

TeamAyu2004 · #19 25th January 2012, 01:30 AM

that would be cool...
I find out in April/May if Im moving to japan so if I am I plan to get there like 3 weeks/4 weeks earlier to travel and what not! So i hope to be there as well... i would love to see a few of her shows... she seems to do something different in every one!

Unlike Choco, I've never had a problem buying tickets even the day of the show. The price totally depends on where the seats are and when you buy them. In general though Ayu's tickets are not that expensive for decent seats.

Yahoo auctions can be a good option, however once again you are going to run into the problem of not having a Japanese mailing address. Most sellers don't ship overseas.
