ugh, the ticket buying process

[noesunexito.livejournal.com]

I'm on Yahoo Auctions Japan and I've made an account because I finally have a japanese address...and the entire ticket buying process is wayyy to confusing for someone in intermediate japanese like me.

I know that the only way I can get tickets for the summer concert is if I get them from scalpers on yahoo auctions, but most of them say FC当選枠★嵐 7/30(土)14:30(１部)★代々木★1〜4枚★格安即決有 which has to do with the fanclub process. What this process is I am not sure, but if I'm not mistaken, it's the lottery process to get tickets? I am so confused right now. There are two auctions for tickets that are bought from Pia, which are really crappy seats all the way on the second floor, but those at least have pictures that show that the seller in fact, does hold tickets in their hands.

Does anyone know anything about this at all?

You can get a yahoo account without a credit card attached to it? o.o I have one, but I've never tried to bid with my account because I don't have a japanese cc....... I've always used my friend's account.

My guess is that they're tickets that were bought through the fanclub is all. If it says that they have the tickets, then they have tickets. Unfortunately, the kanji is weird sounding to me so I can't tell. But I've bid on tickets a lot that don't have pictures, and never had a problem.

oh no! you need a japanese credit card?!
ugh, I thought a visa woud be just fine, and some sellers seem to take postal order too.

From what I understand you need a japanese credit card to bill to the account because it needs to match the address on the account. This isn't because you'll pay the sellers that way (mostly they seem to want bank xfers), but because yahoo bills you a small amount every month just to have the account. X_x I've been holding off on getting a credit card because I keep moving though.

I don't know if maybe they've changed their policies, though. Try and see!

yeah they have the tickets but they wont know the seats till they get them which if it's for the 7/30 con should be soon. becareful in these aucition at how much it cost i assume with this one it's for one ticket.

This is the way to go since fanclub tickets are usually better... though if you are there now in tokyo i'd hit the ticket selling shope in Takeshita-dori first they might have FC tickets.
