Asia Tour: Is anybody going to Taipei?

[truehappiness]

I think that the tickets will be extremely expensive if you don't have someone there getting tickets for you the day that they go on sale..

[alternarist]

i may go to HK with my buddy! well.. i need to noe how to get tics first..

[LacusClyne]

if only dad let me go oversea, i will choose to go taiwan..............
about getting tickets:
if AsiaPlus is promoting the concert, they will sell the tickets at their websites. but if it's others supporters, it will be best to find someone to buy the tickets on the first day.
i can tell you there will be people queing up before the day tickets are open for sale

No. Don`t have the money. Wish I could go though. Have fun!

[yamogi]

There'll be GREAT chances that performances in Japan will differ from the ones in other Asian countries. So, before deciding which one you're going, it's wiser to wait for more information.
(probably, they are in different theme)

[alternarist]

^ haha but we have to act fast! if not the tickets will be all gone by the time we decide on where to go!

[Hatix]

I'm definitely going, preferably in the Tokyo area. My ultimate goal is the last 2 concerts in Yoyogi, but as there are not dates (YET) in Yoyogi, it will be Yokohama Arena. So, if anyone wanna come with me, let's plan something. But first, wait a few more weeks until all the dates are confirmed.

Hmm. As a matter of interest, I asked FDJP for a quote on 3 tickets to either performance in Yokohama.

Thought some of you may find this interesting.

I know several people have stated you should buy them when you get there, but realistically, what price would I be paying at a reseller shop?

[ayu1m]

I'll take the risk and try to get the tickets while I'm in Tokyo.

And I'm willing to pay several hundred dollars.

I'm still not sure when I will get the tickets. I'll probably don't do the reservation stuff, as it's a lottery thing and not a certainty. So I'm going look at 2 options: yahoo auctions & reseller shops.

But yeah, I'm willing to pay a few hundred dollars myself too... Especially if the tour is this short and it's her first asian tour too

So, ayu1m, you're also going to the Yokohama one? Wanna go together I really think it would be fun to go together with a few people from AHS. Even though our ticket seatings might not be next to each other, at least we could have a talk about the concert & other stuff
Other people interested too?

I'm thinking of going to the Yokohoma one too...I'm not really sure how I should go about getting the tickets...ughhh.

And IACE hasn't put up anything about airfare yet on those dates.

[JinHamasaki]

I really really wanted to go to the HK tour...but I can only go on 5/3-5/10...

I already invited my friends to come...so I guess I might have to change my flight plans to Japan

[Blasterion]

yeah, I'm planning on going too,
I'm trying to go to the Tokyo ones in May and probably try to score some tix over there, my sis may want to come too,
so I'm hoping there might be a chance to get two seats next to each other, altough I think those chances might be slim...
but we'll see..

it would be neat if we could go with a bunch of ppl

[ayu_ayu301]

I'll be going to the HK concert ^^

[Hatix]

I have checked my flights too, and it's still too early. Flights are still around 800+ euros. I wait until 2 months before, then there are always much cheaper flights, like 600+ euros. But I still have to plan the rest of my traveling in Japan, as I'm going for 2 weeks this time.
But everybody from AHS who's going for Yokohama (and the others for other concerts), should definitely go together. It's cool to have people from many different countries come together there, and celebrate ayu (like doing a karaoke )

[hallelujah_united]

Yeah I think ticket resellers should prove the way to go for a lot of us in the end, since they seem like a more reliable source of tickets than a lottery system.

Hopefully there'll be tickets available still by the tour period, but if there aren't then hey there are still plenty of other stuff to do in Japan!

Does anyone know when Easter starts this year?

I think easter falls on the 9th of april this year.


And I guess that the reseller shops in Tokyo (Harajuku,Ueno,Shinjuku) will also have tickets for Yokohama (& maybe Saitama), because I'm gonna have to search for it, where the reseller shops in Yokohama are (which may have more choice of tickets...). But I guess that because there is no concert in Yoyogi, they will also have tickets for Yokohama, which is 'nearby'.
But yeah, Osaka is farther away, so you'd have to look for reseller shops in Osaka...

I wonder... how high could the price of the tickets go like one day before the concert? Let's say I want to get them from a reseller shop on the day of the performance or day before - would 500$ be enough to get a decen-seated ticket (or any at all)?
How big is the risk of not being able to get any, around the peformance date?...

Maybe the best who can answer you is Immel, because in last Arena Tour he went to a reseller like one day before the concert.

As I can see, if they don't put a Tokyo date in June or July I'll be lost because that's my only chance to go to Japan T__T
