Ticket.co.jp Ticket Buying Service
***Thanks for checking out my ticket service! Please note that I have a moved from lj to a personal website for sales! You can find the ticket service information HERE. I will still answer any comments left on lj as well, but you should check out the faq on the website!***
Are you coming to Japan and want see you favorite band live on stage but can't figure out how to get tickets?
Then this is the service for you! I offer ticket purchasing services from the most popular ticket buying site in Japan, ticket.co.jp for a 20% service fee or 5000yen, whichever is cheaper. I do not offer balloting or auction buying services.
Please note that tickets must be ordered and paid for at least 5 days before the concert date. You should ideally place your order with me at least one week before the concert date for things to work smoothly. After the 5 day mark, the tickets will no longer be available for sale on the site. Also, please note that tickets are sold individually or in pairs on the site. You may be able to get 3 or 4 tickets together with some luck, but it will require that I place 2 orders via the website and thus the service fees will be applied twice. I accept payment via paypal in US dollars or yen and via furikomi if you have a Japanese bank account.
***Special Note about Arashi Tickets***
Due the high cost of tickets, I will often hit the max spending limit on my credit card (insane, I know!). It may take me several days to transfer money from paypal into my credit card account so that I can use it to buy your tickets. To avoid any trouble, I recommend sending your max budget amount to me as soon as possible so that I can start the transfer asap. Any additional funds not used for the tickets would be refunded the day the tickets are purchased. You are not required to do this, it just makes things easier for me and assures that I will be able to buy your tickets without delay. Especially if you are aiming for the cheapest tickets as they will sell the fastest.
How it works:
You tell me the following:
1. what concert or stage play you are interested in
2. the number of tickets you want and whether they must be together or not ( please note that tickets are sold only individually or in pairs on the site, finding 3 or 4 tickets together is very difficult and may not be possible)
3. the date(s), time(s), and location(s) you would like to attend
4. if you have a seat preference (Please note that seat assignments may not be available until 1-2 weeks before the concert, if you want to get a certain seat, you will have to wait until seat information is released. Also, everyone wants the center front seats. I am willing to try and get them for you, but your budget had better be 100000yen or more.)
5. your total budget (if your budget is less than the listed price of the tickets, I am sorry, but I cannot help you get a ticket, also, please keep in mind that the price listed on the site is not the price you will pay, see the sample quote below for fee information)
6. your name and paypal email address
7. address in Japan where tickets should be shipped and what days you will be there, if known (you may provide this at a later date but you must provide it at some point). If you have a certain day and time you would like the tickets to be delivered, please let me know. The shipping service I use allows me to set an arrival date and a general arrival time (12-2pm; 2-4pm; 4-6pm; 6-8pm; 8-9pm). That way you can know exactly when your ticket will arrive and be there to sign for it.
I will check the site and send you a paypal invoice for the cheapest ticket that meets your requirements. Once you pay the invoice in full I will purchase your ticket. If a cheaper ticket that meets your requirements becomes available by the time I purchase the ticket. I will refund you the difference. If a ticket at the price quoted is no longer available by the time you pay the invoice, I will send you an additional invoice for the price difference and once paid, will purchase the ticket.
A Note about Paypal: There are 3 ways to pay using paypal. An existing paypal balance, credit card, or e-check. For large amounts, if you'd like to use a credit card, you typically must use a verified credit card. So, if you plan to pay by card, please try to have your credit card verified before placing your order. See the paypal website for instructions on how to verify your card. If you pay by e-check, I will not purchase your tickets until the check has cleared. It normally takes 7-10 days for the check to clear so please keep this in mind when placing your order as any tickets quoted may be sold during the wait period.

Total cost in US dollars: $150 (Please note that the total cost in US dollars is dependent upon the current US/yen exchange rate)
Rules:
1. Please note that all sales are final. Even if a cheaper ticket becomes available, after I have purchased a ticket for you, I cannot provide a refund or price adjustment. If you end up unable to go to the concert for whatever reason (including flight problems, travel plan changes, visa issues, failure to find the concert venue, etc.), if the concert is canceled or the date is changed, if you do not like the seat assignment of a ticket purchased before seat assignments are known, or if you get refused entrance to the concert for whatever reason, I will not provide a refund.
2. Ticket will be shipped via a service that requires signature delivery. If I ship the ticket to the address you specify and the post office tries to deliver it but for some reason you are unable to sign for and collect it by the concert date, I will not provide a refund. I will also not provide a refund if you specify the wrong address or if you fail to provide me with an address. If you are not in when the tickets are delivered, the post office will leave an item undeliverable notice and it will be your responsibility to call them and schedule a re-delivery. There is a number to call for English assistance listed on the notice. If the tickets are being sent to a hotel, it is possible that the hotel may be able to sign for them, but each hotel may have a different policy regarding this, so please check with them.
3. I am acting as an agent between you and another seller. I cannot be responsible for the ticket seller's actions. If they fail to ship the ticket, or they change their mind about selling the ticket, there is nothing I can do. This has happened 3 times in the past 4 years I've used the site and it really sucks but it is one of the big risks you take when buying tickets online. If the ticket seller for some reason cancels the transaction, does not send out the ticket, or falsified the ticket information, you will receive a refund in full. I can also try to get you another ticket, but it may not be possible if the concert/show date is close. Please understand this.
4. If you are buying a fan club ticket, I will need to know the address of where you will be staying the week prior to the concert. Most fan club tickets do not ship until right before a concert. This means you may not get your ticket in hand until as few at 1-3 days before the concert. I do not need your address information at the time of ticket purchase but will need the information before you fly to Japan. If you do not know where you will be staying during that week time frame before the concert, it may be difficult for me to mail you the ticket and thus I ask that you refrain from using my service.
5. When I get confirmation that the ticket has been shipped to me by the ticket seller, I will contact you. I will also contact you once I have your tickets on-hand. If I get the tickets early, I am more than happy to ship them to your home country at your request via EMS for an additional fee. However, it is more risky than shipping the ticket within Japan and you do so at your own risk. If the tickets gets caught up in customs, lost, or delivery is attempted and you fail to collect the tickets before leaving for Japan, I will not provide a refund.
6. If you do not understand all the terms and conditions listed above, please do not use my ticket service.
7. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions listed above, please do not use my ticket service.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Serious buyers only please. I have helped quite a few people purchase tickets. You can check out my feedback here. I don't work through 'friends' or a 'supplier' and handle all orders personally from start to finish. You may contact me by leaving a comment below, sending a PM, or via email at aminjapan@gmail.com. I am able to respond to email the fastest. You do not need an lj in order to use the ticket service. This service is also available not only for JE bands, but any ticket for sale on the site. However, I am only familiar with JE fan club rules so if you want to buy any non-JE fan club ticket, you are responsible for knowing the rules and regulations of said FC. All comments will be screened to protect buyers' personal information.
