[Namie Amuro] The 99th Thread for Our Queen

[lfe.]

Been busy the past weeks so pretty behind, but yeah the QR codes for the tickets are typically sent out a couple of days before the event. You must present the code on your cellphone or they won't accept it. Even if you present codes for you and your friend, they won't allow that either. Each person has to show their QR code on separate phones.

For those that have attended her February shows, were they pretty thorough with the ID checking? Did anyone notice people in line having issues with the ID checking? I know they offered the resale system for those with guests that can't attend, but it doesn't really give people a chance to give their spare ticket to another friend or family member. My 2nd ticket was registered under a family member who isn't going, so now all I can do is forfeit that ticket back into the lottery. A lot of fans on social media are in the same boat as me, begging to be allowed one transfer of their tickets. Maybe I'll call tickebo and beg to be allowed to transfer my 2nd ticket to my friend. Worst thing that can happen is they say no.

Also, not sure if people meant that the crowd energy was pretty dead for a Namie retirement tour, but in general Japanese people are very well behaved for concerts. They stay quiet and don't make noise while the performances are going. Theres some cheers and yelling in the little breaks in between and when they realize what song is starting from the background music, but mostly its just applauses. The only real noise they make is at the beginning of the show and the interlude between the concert & encore screaming chants of NAMIE.

Also

Has anyone bought tour goods from fanspace yet? They didn't let me complete the order because I left Chinese Name blank, but I did fill out my name in Katakana. Can I just put my Katakana name again for Chinese Name?

Also



I've seen these before, I remember male fans wearing them at the Live Style 2016 concert I attended. HAS ANYONE SEEN THESE BEING SOLD ONLINE??? I really really want one

When I went, they checked ID twice. One set of staff were at the entrance of the gate, checking your ID and (I'm guessing) to see whether or not it's expired. After that, you move onto the second set of staff stationed at the door who will scan your QR Code and verify that the name attached to the QR Code matches with your ID before they let you in. There was also a large sign at the entrance of every gate listing out all the acceptable forms of ID and that everything must have your picture and must not be expired. So I think they were pretty thorough.

Do they give you a printed ticket or something to know where you seat?

YES! They checked very meticulously. They scanned my QR code and it took a few tries until the scanner read it properly, then they checked my name on my passport letter by letter very carefully.

Yep, beside the NAMIE chants and the clapping along to the beat and after each song, the only enthused engagement was during Chase the Chance and You're My Sunshine when we got to sing along with the 「Just Chase the Chance!」 and 「Yo!」which was mixed enthusiasm (could be wrong, I wasn't really paying attention to everyone else as I was fully into it)

Exactly right. I actually freaked out a bit because they didn't send the QR code until about 45 hours before the show started so I thought maybe there was a problem with my ticket.

Did they send the QR code through text message or did they send it to your tickebo account? Just trying to figure out if I need SMS enabled for my trip and since my friend bought my LS 2016 tickets through resale he doesn't know the original delivery method.

I believe the site says it is emailed to you, but I would like confirmation on that as well.

Through my tickebo account. They sent an email saying the ticket is ready to be downloaded with a direct link to my tickebo order history. I didn't have SMS at all during my time in Japan, just a data plan, so they may have tried to SMS something from tickebo but I wouldn't have received it. (Don't think they did. I didn't see anything from them when I got my SMS back on. )

Just to illustrate how strict they check ID. From that email:
* We prohibit entering with the ticket downloaded with other member's user ID.
* We refuse your entrance if we discover that you transfer tickets. (No transfer accepted at any circumstances)

I assume if someone bought through that legit resale network they set up it'll be fine, otherwise you'll be refused entry with a transferred ticket
