Wow, yeah... they should have announced this a little earlier o_o But it is just the pre-sale, so it's not too bad.
It would be madness if it was just the general ticket sale

And what the hell with the no-lining-up thing? That's def. gonna cause a problem.

[beckielric]

General ticket sale is on Friday though. XD" So that's a little better, but that still only gives people 3 days to be ready. D=

[jlp319]

Lol, I didn't see that the rest of the tickets go on sale Friday.
That's X for you though. XD

its X they never announce anything in more advance than a few months at most and as for ticket sales well if the presale is anything like the presale for tokyo dome, GOOD LUCK!!!! at least the concert isnt next month! thats an improvement.

[beckielric]

Yeah, I know it's How They Roll and all, but it would still be nice if they gave people more time to buy tickets. But yes, at least the show is two months away and not, like, next week. XD"

[morbidprose]

yeah no kidding. at least they improved in that but yeah they could at least give 2 weeks to a months notice before even a presale.

Things are SO not different in London. I lined up like 5 days early for Dir en grey and there were already people there in front of me.
Where in London are they playing? I know at Koko we weren't allowed to be in front of the actual venue until that day because they have A LOT of issues with people lighting homeless people on fire and what not. And if it's in an area where there are a lot of drunks and/or drug addicts, you wouldn't even wanna be out there anyway, trust me :'D.

I remember some of the girls saying there were issues regarding camping out for Jrock shows in the past because of drama caused by fans and it got really out of hand, so bands have actually been banned from certain venues because of it >:

[recklessaddict]

If you or anyone one else reading this goes, here's a heads up.

Get a hostel in the immediate area. Go the the venue early anyway, if it's like when I was there, people will be gathering at a public location either across the street or close by and getting everyone/everything in order that way. There will still be drama, but it won't be an all out brawl.

[beckielric]

Thanks for the advice. =3

They're playing at O2 Academy Islington. And wow, that homeless people thing near Koko sounds just awful. D= Wtf humanity. Not surprised about the fan drama, but it sucks that it caused trouble for the bands though. =(

I'm not completely sure yet if I'm going since it's so short notice for the ticket sales and there's a lot of logistics to work out since it's in London, but part of me wants to go regardless. XD According to X Japan's official site, supposedly they're announcing more tour dates "soon", which could mean anywhere from tomorrow to three months from now knowing Yoshiki, lol. I do hope they actually mean it in this case though, since it'll help me make travel plans and figure out which show(s) to go to. =3
