ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2018 ～POWER of MUSIC 20th Anniversary ～ [II] - Page 18

CellaFae · #1 28th March 2018, 07:45 PM

Hi! I'm very new to this forum and I wish I had found it sooner!! Mods, let me know if I need to delete this and post elsewhere...

I've been a HUGE fan of Ayumi since I was like 13 (28 now) and I'm FINALLY able to go to one of her concerts!! AAHH so excited!

I didn't know if you guys had any advice for first time concert goers? My husband and I are going to Japan soon for our honeymoon and aren't sure if there is anything we should know about her concerts? Are the goods hard to get? Do you have to stand in line for hours?

Thank so much! Cheers!

No they are not. I typically managed to get them within 10 minutes. Be in front of the arena 30 minutes to 1 hr early and you'll be oke. Even being late is fine as it usually takes around 1 hr for people to get it and for the concert to start. The stalls with goods remain open throughout the show.

When I went to my first Ayu concert couple years ago, I went to the venue good time ahead before showtime. Not cos of the goods, though you avoid lining if you get there early, I didn’t line at all, except for the photobooth. But you should just go and hang around the area, eat close by, get the goods and such, enjoy the athmosphere

Everything is very well organized so there’s really no worry about anything. Hopefully you two will have lovely time, first time in this case is always the best haha. Would have loved to go this year for Ayu as well, but my gut feeling says she will continue touring as long as she can. So Namie went ahead this time

People queue hours b4 the concert to secure limited items or things that might be sold out on the concert day. If you didnt have anything which you 100% must get and the item is a hot fav, going after the concert started should be able to just walk in and purchase.

So i bought tickets in my account for me and my boyfriend. So I do not need to use the "change ticket" option to his ticket account right? I can pick both and we can both enter together. Right?

LacusClyne · #7 28th March 2018, 04:47 AM

^yup you can collect them and both can enter together

Are the seats usually together when you get more than one ticket for a single date?

Definitely together, it will be so cruel to spilt up when you booked for the tickets together

maxikot · #10 28th March 2018, 11:28 PM

Do we have any data on how the tickets sale is going?

Idk but...

I still got an extra ticket for Hiroshima!

Gorgonia · #12 29th March 2018, 01:59 PM

How about the items you can being with you? A backpack and stuff? Are there any items forbidden besides the obvious?

If you're going to arena/convention hall sized venues backpacks are fine as long as they fit under the chair. But I guess you wouldn't feel quite secured having out of your sight. If you're getting goods, don't forget they take up space too.

For hall sized venues like JTB, it's most likely you won't have any space under the chair, and there won't be space in front of you since the seating goes downwards.

Xianghua · #14 30th March 2018, 02:22 AM

^ you can bring in backpacks with you!

CellaFae · #15 30th March 2018, 02:36 AM

Aah, thank you everyone for the advice! This really helps a lot

Cameras are probably not allowed? What about phones?

@kinix we already have our tickets but thank you so much for the offer!

During the concert, no videography nor photography is allowed, unless it's a segment that they clearly said you can take with your phone, or it's a big NO NO.

I wish she would record ASFXX so I could have an updated version of As if.. and POWDER SNOW, but I guess I’m not fortunate.

Hair extensions are back and string orchestra/band rehearsal

It seems like there are many dark rock songs in this concert? Reminds me, Mad World and decision. Could that be why the leopard print is in the tour goods beside being a signature ayu pattern?

The LINE live is disappointing, basically now they're showing dancers trying to drink water out of a bottle while doing acrobatics.
The whole thing has been ayu and ZIN calling dancers/musicians to come with them and chatting/joking for 2-3 minutes with each

Can't understand japanese so idk if they've said anything relevant about the tour

Agree but at least they are promoting the tour, better than doing nothing...
