Yeah, I decided, "Well, I'll just enjoy the show the best I can for now, cause I'll have plenty of time to be mad about it later" (mad status: currently in progress), but my friend has far less tolerance for crap than I do and had an even worse view, so she got on Twitter and bitched out GACKT during the show.
. @GACKT This is the view. Who allowed these seats to be sold? Can't see the band at all, nothing for Utakata No Yume pic.twitter.com/Nf0RKlFUbQ - S.L. Surovec (@SLSurovec) March 30, 2016
Yeah... I can't say it was undeserved. (Probably not actually GACKT's fault but I've gotta admit I kinda hope he sees that and some yelling gets done).
On the other hand, the staff lady did make an effort to help us (she even talked to us in English), so I guess what's done is done and there's no point making a fuss about it now.
Mmm, that seriously shouldn't have happened, regardless to who was in charge. That's, like, basics? Make sure everyone can see, and if you're view is shit, then the seats are cheap as hell. Not premium, hundreds of dollars, seats.
I hope the other attendees complain online, too, just so they know to watch out more in the future (and see about compensating people in those seats, really) but... eh. (I'm in a complainy mood today :P)
Yeah, I would have been ~okay~ with my seat IF it was the normal ticket price, but my friends seat, and that of the poor guy next to her just... shouldn't have existed, wtf
It would indeed suck if that was your only show, and I'm really grateful this wasn't my last/only chance. Though I think at the moment my friend and I are both considering selling a ticket or two out of our remaining ones, we're a bit soured on GACKT at the moment. (Also I'm broke and she has scheduling issues...so...)
Oh my gosh, $300 for next to no view at all??? That's horrific, and I'm so sorry you and other fans had to go through that. Doesn't somebody have a job to at least test out different parts of the venue during rehearsal and stuff, just to avoid that? Man.
Thanks for the report, the kids sound like one of the best parts of the show. And bless YOU for taking pity on you guys, he really is practically an angel.
Also, dayummm, they've been friends as long as I've been alive. O.O
Yeah, your reasoning of how that happened seems sound. But you're right, should have been handled by staff differently, adapting to the needs of the display.
Wow, can't see shit from that angle O.o Yeah that's really unacceptable for a premium ticket. Honestly think that should've been worth a full refund regardless. =/
I was thinking of applying for premium tickets for new dates (July 3rd was added, surely July 4th will be added as the final as well...?) so I hope this will not be a problem in the arena (that is, IF I even get a premium ticket)

Yup. Behind the scenes stuff usually shows GACKT doing it himself, although I doubt he sits in every seat ( ... )
