More Gakuensai stuffs..

[pyroyale]

Here are photos of some of the non-Tour goods goodies I managed to claim at Gakuensai.

Each staff member that was checking the IDs had a different chibi stamp that they would use to authenticate your ticket and confirm you'd been through the ID checks. These are the two I picked up -

this.is.so.epic. I could rant for hours, but I'll keep it simple, on a somewhat random question - the 7,000 yen on the ticket - is that the cost? Because I'm (hopefully) spending a year in Japan if I get any uni offers and I'm scared at how expensive tickets will be!

[pyroyale]

Yeah, 7000yen plus about 250yen in Lawson fees. GACKT is on the more expensive side of the ticket scale, I've seen bands like Alice Nine and the Gazette for cheaper in smaller venues.

The YFC shows were 7,800yen.

Ah, thanks ^^ I know it's a long ways off, but I want to be prepared! God knows all my money will be going towards tickets and merch if I go to Japan >.< I'll probably need another suitcase for all the CDs I could buy in a year!

how did you get the tie? did you catch it when he threw it into the crowd or somethin? ._.

why is that school card so LONG? And is this your first time going? I thought you went last year? You don't seem so upgraded. >.>;;

lefcadio caught the tie when Junji threw it during the introductions but we'd agreed beforehand to cut any ties in half. We were front row, we had to catch SOMETHING.

No, I didn't go last year, I was still in England. You won't be upgraded to 二年生 though either. You'll just get stamps to cover the shows you went to last year.

[shinimegami21]

...ho shit. I bet you got some glares. SO PROUD OF YOU! XD

I know, it sucks. It's like you have to spend a shit load of money just to get upgraded. Way to promote financial discrimination, Gackt. :/

The glares were terrible because not only were we front row, but my seat was CENTRE AISLE TOO. Literally the best seat in the entire arena, especially when GACKT made his entrance and not only walked past me down the aisle, but also walked past us again to get to the stairs. And, to make matters worse (or better for us!) we were talking between ourselves during the interval and Chris, GACKT's bodyguard that everyone had just seen guarding him as he walked through the crowd, comes over to speak to us and shake our hands because he remembered us from the YFC shows. Maaan, I bet they all thought the tickets were gifts or we were GACKT's toys for the night or something...

Look at it the other way - it means he's going to be doing more shows. Nobody is gonna get 二年生 on these dates.
