Osaka concet in january

[kyokutan.livejournal.com]

So I'm gonna be in Japan for a half year to study and ofcourse I'd love to go to an Arashi concert
but I still haven't gotten a ticket. T___T
Still doing my best to find one so I was wondering if anyone here knows how much a ticket goes for if you buy from those "bad guys" that sells tickets outside venues?

Also how much in time should one be if you only want to buy concert goods?

Thank you guys in advance~
Happy ShoxAiba date day xDDD

Don't know much info about the tickets, but I think I'll be in Japan too for studying, and I plan to go to that concert no matter what. Want to meet and hunt for tickets? <3

[kyokutan.livejournal.com]

I think it would definitely be worth a try to look for tickets outside the venom since there always is someone selling their tickets from what I've read!

[darkhriss.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've heard of many people who got tickets from other fans before the concerts, and even at normal prices.

Anyway, what city/university are you going to?

[kyokutan.livejournal.com]

I'm actually gonna attend Kobe City University but since Osaka isn't that far away from Kobe I figured the Osaka concert is my best shot! ^^
You're also gonna be in Kansai or in Tokyo?

[darkhriss.livejournal.com]

I'm going to live in Tokyo, and do everything I can to go to Osaka or Nagoya ( depends if I manage to get a ticket first, or go to beg before the concerts...)

Woah, I just looked at the prices on ticket.co.jp and the cheapest tickets are 100.000 yen...that's impossible for me. I barely have 50.000 yen, and I need half of them to buy merchandise *cries* I hate the fanclub ticket system...not fair at all.

[kyokutan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my budget is also 50,000 yen T__T
And I don't understand why not Johnny's International can release a couple of Arashi tickets?? Even though I'd love to go to a Kisumai concert my number one would definitely be an Arashi concert ;__;

[ayuare.livejournal.com]

Sorry don't know either but OMG I'M SO JEALOUS OF YOU YOU GET TO BE IN JAPAN FOR HALF A YEAR

[matsuneko-girl.livejournal.com]

I'll be here till September 17, so I can make it for the Kokuritsu Concert! But like you I can't find tickets too, and I think its harder for me since its Kokuritsu!DX Well I hope you manage to find some, good luck!:'D

[kyokutan.livejournal.com]

Hope you'll get tickets to Kokuritsu, but the prices are insane! :O Well, it's Arashi so what to expect really? xD

[matsuneko-girl.livejournal.com]

I know, I'm literally hoping for a miracle to happen so that my friend and I can go and see them! I wouldn't care if they are the crappiest seats in the stadium, just to be there with all the fans and celebrate with Arashi would be enough for me!XD

[kyokutan.livejournal.com]

I know, I wouldn't mind sitting in the most far away section, I just want to attend their concert with all the other fans and even if I wouldn't like, see their faces I would be in the same room as them and that's what counts xD

[helgarr.livejournal.com]

Do they have a concert in Osaka in January? Ignorant fangirl I am! I'll be living in Osaka for a year from Sunday on so please let me know if you get any good tips! I'm dying to find one but I am not that fluent in written Japanese that I can find any online. ;_;

[helgarr.livejournal.com]

D8 That's just crazy talk! Oh my...

[qiuyun-08.livejournal.com]

As i have been known the Kokuritsu Concert ticket is start from 400,000 yen in an auction website. so expensive TTwTT

[kyokutan.livejournal.com]

yeah, the kokuritsu prices are insane O_O I've seen Osaka tickets go for about 100,000 but that is way over my budget unfortunately T__T

[godsgirl7.livejournal.com]

Holy crap D: That's totally ridiculous! I want to see Arashi and all, but...

[starblitz.livejournal.com]

Planning to go for this as well. Keep us posted on your hunt please? :)

[kyokutan.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! ^^ Hope you'll also be able to get tickets ^^

[hellotoeveryone.livejournal.com]

*turned into envious mode* ~ At least you get to be in Japan for half a year XD...

Good luck thou

The cheapest tickets for kokuritsu at the moment are over 100,000 yen. Last year I got a decent ticket for tokyo dome for 80,000 yen so they seem to be going up in price. Osaka seems to be about the same price.

If you want a general idea, check out the arashi page on ticket japan http://www.ticket.co.jp/sys/search.php?com=init&ki=188&st=20120103 - you can buy from there if you have a japanese address and can speak a decent amount of Japanese. I think there is a ticket shop that handles JE concerts in Osaka but I have no idea where it is.

[kyokutan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've been keeping myself updated on ticket.co.jp and sometimes there seems to pop up a ticket that goes for around 20,000 yen but they've all been for Kokuritsu and sold at the blink of an eye :/
Lucky you who got to see them last year ^^

[kerrol.livejournal.com]

I think the cheaper tickets only come up for concerts after the seats are released so you might get lucky closer to the date for Osaka.

[kyokutan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think you're right since Kokuritsu is next week and there are now tickets going for about 30000 yen. I guess I'll have to be patient and keep my eyes and ears open xD

[risuw-chan.livejournal.com]

hey, i'm planning to go to osaka concert too
want to meet there? cos the last time i queue for the good, it took 5 hours and i was alone, seriously tiring and lonely XD

well last year i bought the ticket in harajuku and got kokuritsu ticket for 80.000 yen. expensive yes but i thought i wouldn't get the chance to watch them anymore so i bought it. maybe i'll try my luck on that shop again, but if you have another option to let me get the cheaper one, please tell me^^

[darkhriss.livejournal.com]

*raises hand* Wanna meet too! Even if I don't get a ticket, I want to go and buy some goods anyway *and meet Arashi fans of course <3*

[risuw-chan.livejournal.com]

yay XDD then let's go together XDDD
i'm going to osaka in 31'th december and would be alone bcos my junior have class in 3th january so she couldn't stay with me to watch nor queueing for arashi goods T^T
it's my first time to go to osaka and i'm quite nervous ^^;

[darkhriss.livejournal.com]

I'm going to live in Tokyo and go to Osaka only on the concert day. Though I'd like to stay for a night and try to beg for tickets before both concerts, but I don't know if I have the money to stay at the hotel. Anyway, we'll meet for sure, at least at the queue. Let's keep in touch ne?

[risuw-chan.livejournal.com]

well, actually if my junior would really have to leave first, then i have one extra bed cos i've already booked rooms for two. i've already told her that she had to pay for the rooms even if she won't use it.

how about meeting at tokyo first? i'll be staying in tokyo for a couple of days before heading to osaka

[darkhriss.livejournal.com]

I'd love to! I really want to find foreign friends there, especially Arashi-loving ones!

[risuw-chan.livejournal.com]

great then^^ i'll tell you later when exactly i'll arrive in haneda, hope you have plenty of time to play with us there.

Our destinations are pretty much arashi/animanga-related anyway so hope we'll have some fun together eventhought that would be our first time met XD

[darkhriss.livejournal.com]

I'll be in Tokyo from 3 October. Aaah I can't wait to go around the city and look for Arashi stuff <3 I was worried I'm not going to find fans among my classmates there and I'll be very sad, but it didn't crossed my mind to ask here! *baka*

[xmomo-chan.livejournal.com]

Hello! I'll be living in Tokyo starting from October and I'd love to join in the ticket hunt and goods shopping! :)

[risuw-chan.livejournal.com]

come join us then XD it would be fun to meet all of you XDD

[darkhriss.livejournal.com]

Yaaay! Let's make a huge Arashi fans group and go fangirling around Tokyo! <3<3<3

[xmomo-chan.livejournal.com]

YES! Let's! I've only ever met one girl IRL who is just as crazy about Arashi as I am so I'm so in! :D <3

[babicchan.livejournal.com]

Hello! wow i totally get what you mean><
I'm not going to be in Japan already but as some friends managed to get the tickets and are going i'm still deciding whether to go and look for one there.. I'd go there both for fun and a holiday but..yes for them most of all XD I went last year as i got the tickets but this time is a risk!
I've been checking also on yahoo japan and i've found some at like 60000yen or something like that but sometimes you find some at 80000 for tickets in a cuple. But you have to subscribe with a paid account on yahoo.jp and to live ion Japan because they don't send them out of japan and anyway it would be impossible as the ticket arrives from the fanclub like2 weeks before the concert.. ç_ç
So i'd love to say that if you actually have the possibility to be there and let them send them to you, that if you find those sold in cuples id' be super happy to buy it with you!!XD

Also there is a shop in Harajuku selling Johnny's tickets, it's quite expensive as they sell them when they *have* the fisical ticket (and so when the place is already assigned). But i don't know if there is a similar shop in osaka too, so if i go just before the concert i won't be able to look for it T_T
Ahah i'm really paranoid as i'm planning my life around this recently XD

If you'd like to keep in contact let's keep in touch also by pm!>.<
Have a nice day ~~

[godsgirl7.livejournal.com]

Good luck with your search, but I'm sure it's gonna be tough. I'm in the fan club and I wasn't able to get tickets, and hardly anyone I know got tickets either. :( They're pretty tough to come by.

[jeneralize.livejournal.com]

tickets are ridiculously expensive, especially this year. I was fortunate enough to go to the July 31st show in Sapporo and the ticket, after fees and converting it from yen to USD, cost me over $600USD.

If you are serious about seeing them though, I suggest this seller. she is really amazing and very fast in communication.

goodluck!!!

[kyokutan.livejournal.com]

Yea, the prices are insane! :O

I'm thinking of dropping her a comment but since the prices on ticket.co.jp where she buys the tickets are way over my budget it might be a little difficult >_<

You're lucky to have seen them! I bet the concert was absolutely awesome!! ^^

[barquette.livejournal.com]

Wow all this Arashi love is awesome!
I just moved to Tokyo for work and don't have all that many friends outside of work (and NO Arashi-loving friends at all). I'd love to join in with the Arashi fangirling too!

By the way, I asked a "shady guy" who was selling tickets for Nagoya Dome in January 2010 and he said 100,000 yen.

Good luck finding tickets though!

[kyokutan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I totally wasn't expecting so many comments when I posted xDD
Arashi is amazing ^^ You could go to Kokuritsu next and mingle with, like almost every Arashi fan in Tokyo xDD


Wasn't Nagoya the last stop on that tour? From what I've understand, last concerts are always wanted so I hope that the price was because that x)

[saori11.livejournal.com]

This is f*cking ridiculous. 200,000 yen for one ticket?! Shoot me, I want to go sooo badly.. OTL
