2016 LAST VISUALIVE TOUR DATES

Yeah, the ticket prices for me when I first went (businesssssss~) was $1,500 by that magic I was talking about.
And not even that much, really, since my Aunt had a crap ton of frequently flier miles, so we only had to pay tax!
But if I go end of June, which looks like is the most plausible, would be $2,400 for economy. I'm not finding any different prices for there, but earlier looks like it goes back into the 1k range.
My week was less than 3k, I think, with the transportation/lodging/admissions/souvenirs. But with the airline ticket being nearly that price..... :x This trip looks like it would be a lot worse, money wise.

and then I've gotta stay at kinda higher places, since I've got some fairly bad allergies -_-;
For a week, at hotels that only barely didn't kill me, it was just over $2k (full, but I split that at the time) for a week.
I really wish I could just tough it out in a grimy place, or a business hotel, or a hostel--but I can't trust them to be smoke free. At least, I haven't seen one so far?
So that's my big budget buster.

And I wish that money was my only issue here.....But I'll see what I can do once I find someone to talk with again, and hopefully I can magically plan the next year out with a nice week gap for a concert trip.

I'm gonna be pretty amazed if I can make it happen, though. This is incredibly stupid of me.

There is a discussion and some links about non-smoking hotels here. I don't know if there is anything there that will be suitable or not.

I think I read that prices would be more reasonable for tix if u buy them about 4 months in advance to your trip. A yr in advance would not give you a good price. But if u could get comfy business class for cheap then it Would be awesome.

The two hostels I picked were really clean and modern. Guess you'll have to research and pick wisely if u wanna save money on that. There was one night in Yokohama at a hostel after a live that was unplanned ... It was creepy.

Both hostels I picked were non smoking I think. Didn't have a problem and didn't see any smoking inside. I can give u the name of a really nice one in Kyoto if u want.

omg there are non-smoking hostels!!!

Are there some where you get your own place to stay? I've always thought they were where you got like a cot in a room with a lot of other people--and then if one of those people has been smoking and comes in, brings that with them, or if it's just on their clothes so heavily--then I'm gonna have to leave, so that sounded bad--but I think I heard differently yesterday that you kinda get a room?

I don't have allergies, so take this with a grain of salt, but I often stay at Toyoko Inn, which is a chain of business hotels with non smoking rooms. They've always been clean and not-smoke-smelling, and I think they generally have English speaking staff that you could explain things to.

Their pillows are pretty stiff though.

Also Tripadvisor allows you to search "non smoking hotel" if you check the box under "Amenities".

As long as they've not been smoked in, and there's not a bad mold problem, I'm okay on a log, tbh.
Just heard some bad stuff from my Aunt on the cheap option hotels she's stayed in, and them making her sick because of mold (with the humidity, I'm surprised everything wasn't covered in it XD) so it made me a little afraid.
And then there was the fun thing where if too many people check in before you, you may not have the same room you booked because they over book the rooms and then just put you somewhere else-_-;
(thankfully our only issue was getting a king sized bed rather than two twins, so that wasn't a problem, and we got to the other ones super early. Just surprised me that they would do that)

Thank you for those links~
