NEW TOUR BALLOTING PROCESS
I think everyone has heard the news about the new ballot system for tickets.
This system aims to minimize the resale and black market. On this point, I fully agree, as the FC members will have more chance to go to a concert.
But for us foreign fans, it closes all doors. It was difficult enough to buy a ticket when you do not live in Japan, but now, it is clearly impossible. If Johnny's continues this way, it will no longer be possible to attend a concert. And why Johnny's stopped the ticket system with international fans? It was a very good idea that should continue and be enhanced.
Moreover, Japanese fans have the chance to ballot, foreign fans can't, and we already spend a lot of money for the plane ticket for the concert and for the hotel.
All system disgusts me, fans living outside of Japan clearly worth nothing in the eyes of Johnny's. Attending a concert was a sort of consecration, having an opportunity to see his favorite band was like a reward, a kind of completion.
Now we get what? You can always spend money to buy the cds and dvds (besides our purchases do not count in the Oricon). Foreign fans already represented not much, but now, we are nothing for Johnny's.
