100 yen Jin love you long time

It's been a while since there was a good Jin bashing article floating around, but I had faith. Here, let's start with an unflattering picture, just to get us in the mood:




Feeling suitably disgusted and ready to continue on? Good good, then here we go.

This time around, Cyzo Woman reported that, in an unprecedented state of affairs, Jin's 'Triumphant Return from America' concert tickets are being sold for100 yen. YAY! I'LL TAKE 2! *Dashes off to repack suitcase*

"First of all, this 'Triumphant Return' tour is three days (performances) at Saitama Super Arena. [Max capacity of the Arena is around 37,000]. "Is Jin going to get buried in the Arena that can 'mobalize' more than 20,000 people?" - Despite doubts flying around, he has announced a further three performances per venue at Osaka Jyou Hall [16,000 max capacity], Budoukan [around 14,000 people], and Kobe World Memorial Hall [8,000]. The result of which is that there are too many concerts and the fans feel it isn't so 'tasty' anymore and the popularity of the Saitama Super Arena tickets has plummeted." - From a Johnny's reporter.

Incidentally, the day before the tour started (yesterday, the 13th) there was a large number of tickets up on Yahoo Auctions for between 1 and 500 yen, and tickets were virtually being bought at the rate of 1 for 100 yen, or 2 for around 310 yen by some people. It seems like people are just going to get tickets on the actual day from ticket resale stores and sites.

"Even amongst the fans they are saying 'I applied for the Saitama performance but after that I had to try for Budoukan, and then I got a notification saying I won second chance lottery for Saitama', one fan said, and 'Even though I got a mail confirming I'd lost at the lottery, tickets arrived'. That's pretty ridiculous, right?" - A Johnny's fan

At last year's tour, Jin had to hand out tickets freely to Japanese who were residents [in the place of the performace]. This 'Triumphant Return' tour was meant to gain back some of the deficit but...things are looking pretty bleak again. We pray there isn't another 'Vacant Seat Festival' in Japan as well.

Well, I went on Yahoo Auctions to check it out for myself and it's true D8

This is for Osaka, 100 yen ticket right there:
