i'm not 100% sure, but i think you'll be able to do so even if you aren't going/able to watch the concert (since that's what am planning to do, too ^__^)

when i watched the countdown, they were selling goods outside and inside the (tokyo) dome, so even if you can't watch the concert, you'd still be able to buy stuff ^__^

so that means they only sell them on the day of the concert or the days b4 that as well

am not sure about days before, but the day itself, they do ^_^

I think that they also sell them in JE shops, but I could be wrong ;^_^

they could be... but i guess you can get them cheaper during the concerts. because my friend went to one of the JE shops and got a lot of stuff, and she got one countdown uchiwa more expensive than when it was usually sold during the countdown itself ^__^

yes, you can buy goods without having a ticket. i know because I did it for the Time Tour in Osaka's Kyocera Dome, and I was going to do it again for the Dream A Live concert last friday in Osaka. but I ended up buying a ticket near the entrance, and buying goods too. I learned something too: you sure can get a ticket if you don't have one near the entrance of the concert hall(sorry if I'm not supposed to say this here - GOMEN-).

Sorry to butt in but.. is this (buying the goods even without tickets) also true for other locations like Nagoya?

[susifg.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I know just for Osaka... But I would say yes. I've been to some concerts in Japan (though not all of them Johnny's) and in all of them the goods were being sold outside the hall, so anyone (with or without a ticket) can buy them. I don't know about the Nagoya Dome, but in Nagoya's Rainbow Hall the goods for a L'Arc en Ciel concert were sold outside too. So I really think you'll be able to buy goods even if you don't have a ticket for the concert.

can I ask you, how much did that ticket cost? because I heard the tickets sold near to the actual place are quite expensive...

[susifg.livejournal.com]

It was a stand ticket and it costed me 15,000 yen. For the arena tickets you had to pay 30,000 yen. In other places in Osaka I saw tickets for the Nagoya concert being sold for 45,000 yen.

thank you for answering! ^^
yeah, I heard about 40-50,000 yen for a ticket or even more, so 15,000 yen is not so expensive I think (if we think about it, that the official ticket-prize is about 6,000 yen, ne) jaa, lucky you :3
