Getting Tickets for Arena Tour 2010 in Japan

[LacusClyne]

^hmm, can i ask you a question? since you are in Japan right now, coz i'm noob when it comes to the locations there....and the average prices for tickets. (>_<) i had ONLY travel out of Singapore once, n tat was to Penang for my aunt's wedding, i didn't really get to see around....i feel like a 井底之蛙.

Q1: how near are these 2 areas? i'm scared that they are far apart, and i'll get lost going from one location to another. (T_T)

3th or 4th May - Ayu (長野ビッグハット-キョードー北陸チケットセンター)
1st or 2nd May- Kuu (愛知県- ｻﾝﾃﾞｰﾌｫｰｸﾌﾟﾛﾓｰｼｮ)

coz i'm planning to go with altenarist, and he can't make it for any dates after 10th May, so i'm checking these dates.

Q2: what is the average prices for seats on the ground level, like near the stage or catwalk path?

I'm not planning to go to any concert at the moment, yet I only wanted to let you know you're awesome Misa-chan!

[AyUta]

I wish I was planning a vacation in Japan this summer ;_;

Lol no problem, just PM me the details I mentioned in the first post.

[Misa-chan]

Hmm, by express train, I'm guessing you can get from Aichi to Nagano in about 2 hours? Not very sure, but that's the average time you need to travel between prefectures.

For accommodation, I recommend that you pick places close to your concert venues if you're afraid of getting lost. Or if you don't mind travelling a little, you can easily find cheaper places that are abit farther from the concert venues.

For example, you can watch Kuu's concert in Aichi on the 1st, and stay in Aichi that night. On the 2nd, you can start travelling over to Nagano, then stay over in Nagano that night, then go for ayu's concert on the 3rd or 4th.

Just a recommendation. You can check out this website for possible places to stay over at. They provide descriptions, maps, prices and reviews for lots of hostel places. http://www.hostelworld.com/

if i were to go to them, what's your advice for accomdation? just get an hotel in one of them?
coz if i were to get those city areas, by the time i reach the hotel, it should be pretty late.

as for the tickets with selected seats, normally when are they available?

sorry for my zillion questions....

Hauuuuuu I want to go, but I won't be going to Japan for maybe another 2-3 years TT.TT

[Cherry Dynamite]

D: I'll PM you if I'm like 100% sure I'll be able to go~
Thanks for helping us~

[jaomaru]

dont forget me Misa Plz!!!

[Misa-chan]

^ Lol I won't. Tickets with seatings are not out yet, so be patient! I'll contact all u guys asap when they are!

[Nayaichigo]

Hey Misa-chan, will all the seatings be revealed now for the June and July concerts too or just the early shows?

[behwatch]

you have to check individual stadiums to see whether they release the seating arrangements.

Last year I nearly bought the tickets for Fukuoka stadium but they did not accept my middleman's address. cos the computer recognised it as a post office lolz. So tickets need ppl living in Japan to help us buy.

I'm buying tickets through a friend of mine, but he doesn't know where he should go to buy them, can still help me by giving some information? THX in advance.

I'd like to be able to chose the seat so I guess only reseler shops count, do you (or anyone else here) know any of them in the area of shinjuku or ikebukuro? And do you think you can buy them already or they are not sold yet?

I'll be in Japan on 31st of March but I'd like to have them bought earlier by my friend, just to be sure (the concert I want to attend in April 11th). It's my first and probably only concert so don't want to miss that chance.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Yes, tickets for all shows with seatings will be released soon (there is no date of confirmation yet, but my guess is that it will be soon since the concert title has already been confirmed). After that, it will be up to you to check the seating plan to know where your seat is. =)

Yep, crea_spain's reply lists some good resale stores and sites that your friend can check out. However, do note that most online resale sites need you to register an account with a Japanese address.

Currently, the tickets are not available in resale stores yet, because avex has yet to print out actual tickets. Right now, buyers only have a receipt of payment to show that they have bought tickets, but not the real tickets themselves. Those will be mailed to the buyers at a later (as yet unconfirmed) date.

Haha nahh I won't be here anymore next year. My school term ends in July, so I'll be going home to Singapore then...

[SKYia]

^ thank you, my friend lives in japan, so registering shouldn't be a problem, do you know when the tickets will be physically available for sale?

and besides, when you buy from convenience stores you can't chose your sits? that's kind of strage

[Misa-chan]

^ I'm not very sure when the tickets will be out physically. There's no news as of now, but I'm guessing it will be around mid-March.

Yep, you can't choose seats when you buy from convenience stores. You buy a ticket from the ticketing machine, go to the counter to pay, and get a receipt of payment. The physical ticket with your seating will be mailed to you after.
