Ticket Sales in Japan

[pyroyale]

I said I’d do this on Twitter ages ago and some people seemed interested so here’s a little guide to buying concert/play tickets in Japan. It’s a completely different system to the rest of the world although it’s pretty simple when you get the hang of it

I'm all for switching to e-plus, the telephone ordeal is just ancient and horrible.

It is.

They probably make money off it though, so I wouldn't be surprised if they hold onto it for as long as they can.

You are awesome for putting this out.
I am going to have a go at a Lawson tomorrow for that fade Chelsea gig. Should be exciting. I want just an excuse to get to Tokyo for an extra weekend before my classes start full speed and even if they only play a few songs, it'll be chill.
Even if you won't go to the show, if you want to meet up, I'll buy you a drink if we can match dates.

If you need any help getting the ticket let me know. The Loppi machines can be slightly disorientating when ordering tickets if you're not used to them (word of advice - when entering your name, it will accept katakana only but you have to put a space inbetween your last and first name or it won't accept it).

I'll get back to you when I know about the fade show. If it was headline then I'd have bought my tickets weeks ago already. As it's a multi band thing and I'm hoping to have something huge to spend my money on I'm having to think about it.

I figured them out. Yeah, the hardest part was the space. I kept looking for it, going, "Where the f*** ar you?!" I found it.

I was debating on whether or not to go, but I figured why not. I'll be busy when classes start and I don't know when they'll have a one-man, plus it gives me an excuse to go to Tokyo.

If you decide to go, message me. If not, we'll just meet some other time, right?

Thanks for the help though. You're awesome.
