いよいよMIKAの来日公演が迫ってまいりましたね！

楽屋花のお送りについて、個人的に何件かお問合せをいただいたので、現在わかる範囲でこちらに情報を共有します。2016年の時は各会場OKでしたが、今回は会場も状況も変わっているので確認が必要かと思います。

先月、私が会場と主催者に問い合わせをした時点の回答です。

会場サイドでは花の受取りは可能です、とのこと。配送/業者による持ち込み時間は、当日午後が望ましい。

ただし、最終的な受取り可否は主催者判断に委ねている、とのことなので、

開催から1週間前に主催者に確認をしてから、花の手配をして下さいとのことです。

主催者サイドでも1週間前くらいにならないと、詳細については照会できないそうです。

◇大阪公演　5/23㈫　会場：なんばHatch　

主催者　SMASH WEST： 06-6535-5569

◇東京公演　5/24㈬　会場：立川ステージガーデン

主催者　SMASH： 03-3444-6751　

多くの方から問い合わせが殺到すると、主催者側にもご迷惑かと思うので、

楽屋花の受取り可否については、主催者に確認後、5月17日頃にこちらのスレッドに情報を共有します。

個々の細かい確認事項(花以外のプレゼントはいいのか、とか)については、各自お問合せを願います。

Il Maggio apre con Wagner e Strauss, è già un trionfo
Ovazioni e lunghi applausi, è ripartenza dopo commissariamento

(ANSA) - FIRENZE, 23 APR - Ovazioni e lunghi applausi alla prima data del Festival del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, l'edizione numero 85, segnano bene la voglia di ripartenza del teatro dopo lo choc del commissariamento.

Wagner e Strauss nel programma di sala sono stati interpretati da una gettonata direzione di Daniele Gatti che già all'ingresso ha ricevuto subito, insieme all'orchestra, applausi calorosi.

A fine concerto ben sette minuti di applausi. Wagner è stato proposto con una selezione di brani sinfonici del mitico Götterdämmerung, il Crepuscolo degli dei, mentre Strauss con l'opera 40. Ovazioni per Gatti e anche per il violino di spalla Salvatore Quaranta la cui esecuzione nei movimenti da solista ha ricevuto un energico apprezzamento del pubblico. Il commissario Onofrio Cutaia ha dato nel foyer il benvenuto e tanti spettatori hanno voluto salutarlo di persona e conoscerlo. Il bordo del palcoscenico era decorato con azalee bianche e verdi. Tra gli ospiti il cantante Mika, arrivato col sindaco Dario Nardella e che dopo le foto con il pubblico si è seduto a fianco del maestro Zubin Mehta, direttore emerito a vita del Maggio. In sala anche il capo di gabinetto del Mic Francesco Gilioli, l'artista che ha firmato il manifesto del Festival Nico Vascellari, il sovrintendente del Regio di Parma Luciano Messi, quello del Ravenna Festival Antonio De Rosa, il presidente dell'Orchestra Regionale Toscana Maurizio Frittelli e il direttore generale dell'Ort Marco Parri.

    Per la città, tra gli altri, il cardinale Giuseppe Betori, la rettrice Alessandra Petrucci, il presidente della Fondazione Cr Firenze Luigi Salvadori. (ANSA).

I got my tickets through e+ (saw it in your other post :-) ), and it doesn't indicate the [整理番号], oddly! I would think I'll have to head over early, let the staff scan the QR code to know my number? Wondering if you have any experience with this?

 

I guess the ticket number will be shown on your ticket with QR code after 9th May.  But I'm not pretty sure.

The booking system is only for customers who live in overseas countries. We (The Japanese) can't use the ticketing site so I have never used the site to book tickets. We book tickets via Japanese eplus site. The ticketing process looks a bit different from the international site. 

You might better to ask them about the issue.

You can send them a message using the form below.

Hi, there.

For people come to Namba Hatch from outside of Japan for the first time, here are some travel tips and practical information.

- What you should know before the show-

YOU DON'T HAVE TO QUEUE FROM EARLY IN THE MORNING IN FRONT OF THE VENUE

On your ticket, you have a ticket number,  [整理番号] in Japanese.

Your ticket number dictates when you get to enter the venue.  Audience will be admitted to the venue in order according to the numbers printed on their tickets.  The fan holding ticket #1 gets to enter the venue first, followed by the fan holding ticket #2, and so on.  When the venue doors open, venue staff will call numbers in order.  The doors open at 18:00. Therefore, if you have a ticket with a very low number, it’s wise to arrive at the venue and line up fifteen minutes or so before the door time, if you want to make sure to get into the venue as quickly as possible. However, if you don’t get there in time, no worries—anyone whose number has already been called is free to enter the venue at any time.

If you can’t speak Japanese, can’t understand instructions from the venue staff, and have no idea when they’re calling your number, you can show up early and attempt to explain this to a venue staff member in advance and hope that they’ll help you. You can also show your tickets to fans while the fans are lining up and hope that the fans will help you find your place in line.

YOU HAVE TO BUY A MEDAL TO EXCHANGE DRINK TICKET IN ADVANCE

Namba Hatch requires the payment of a drink ticket upon entry which is 600 yen. This is a charge levied by the hall, and is obligatory even if you have paid for a ticket in advance. 

You need to get a special medal before entering the venue. Namba Hatch has a vender machine near the entrance.

Please note, only cash payments are accepted, so please prepare 6×100yen coins OR, 1×500yen coin and 1×100yen coin before arrival at the venue.

You will be asked for the medal after passing the venue staff your ticket at the entrance and then you will receive a drink ticket. Your drink ticket will be redeemable at the venue bar for one drink. 

OTHER REQUIREMENTS

I think it will be lifted by May, but there is still a mask mandate even if you are fully vaccinated.

Thanks so much NaoMika! 

Fan of 15 years here, and I want to see Mika live for the first time in Osaka! :'-)

This is a really dumb question, but is eplus the actual official tickets provider? I'm so confused considering that Mika's website linked to Lawson tickets (which requires a Japanese address and number...).

 

Has anyone bought from eplus before? Is it a thing in Japan?

 

Appreciate it! So excited to catch him live :-)  

Yes, it's an official ticket provider.

Smash (MIKA Japan tour organiser)  has the link to eplus on their site.

Hi

 

You can only select the zone (S or SS). It is possible that only tickets in zone S are still available. SS is I think the first ten rows or so and S is further back. Unfortunately, you cannot select the seat.

 

You can pick up the ticket in a convenience store in Japan (e.g. 7-Eleven) from 10th of May.

 

I hope this helps you.

Prisca, your infomation is for people who live in Japan.

If you buy tickets from outside of Japan, you can't pick up the tickets in a convenience store.

Q: I want to pick up my ticket in a convenience store other than the venue.

A: You cannot pick up your ticket in a convenience store.

Hi! New fan here~ I am actually planning to go. Yet as I was about to book the ticket, I see that they will not tell you which seat you’re gonna be getting until the day of the concert it seems? When you’re about to pick up your ticket in person? 
I’m just a little confused…is it normal? Does that mean my seat will be all the way at the back? Is it worth risking a seat ticket? 
I also have problems with my knees…so I don’t think I’ll be able to attempt Osaka (all standing it seems) 

Frequently Asked Questions

https://ib.eplus.jp/index.php?dispatch=pages.view&page_id=47

This article says that MIKA will be a guest of Umbria Jazz Festival...  I hope it's true.

Al cinquantesimo di Umbria Jazz anche Mika L’ufficializzazione della data entro i primi di gennaio

La Nazione 23/12/2022

https://www.lanazione.it/umbria/cronaca/al-cinquantesimo-di-umbria-jazz-anche-mika-lufficializzazione-della-data-entro-i-primi-di-gennaio-1.8410904

Correva l’anno 2020. Era febbraio e mentre in Cina c’era già un durissimo lockdown, l’Italia e il mondo occidentale ancora non avevano idea di cosa di lì a poco li avrebbe travolti. Il Covid-19 sembrava lontanissimo e la vita continuava a scorrere normalmente, tanto che sul sito di Umbria Jazz cominciavano a spuntare i nomi dei protagonisti dell’edizione estiva. Tra questi quello di Mika, il cantautore e showman libanese naturalizzato britannico che in Italia ormai è di casa e che a Umbria Jazz aveva avuto un successo strepitoso nell’edizione del 2016. La pandemia però costrinse poi tutti all’isolamento prima e a una rigida normativa per impedire pericolosi assembramenti che potessero favorire il contagio poi. Fu così che i grandi festival vennero rinviati a data da destinarsi. Quel cartellone che annunciava artisti come Paolo Conte, Ben Harper e lo stesso Mika, venne “congelato“.

Oggi a distanza di due anni e con una situazione che sembra ormai definitivamente avviata alla normalità, ecco che il Festival jazz prossimo a celebrare nel 2023 i suoi primi cinquant’anni, torna proprio in questi giorni a lanciare i nomi dei protagonisti della storica edizione estiva. Paolo Conte, Steward Copeland (batterista dei Police), Brad Meldahu, Brandford Marsalis, Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals e in esclusiva italiana Joe Boanamassa, Rhiannon Giddens with Francesco Turrisi, Snarky Puppy sono già stati ufficializzati con tanto di prevendite in corso. Il cartellone del cinquantesimo di UJ (7-16 luglio 2023) dunque, comincia a svelarsi e a quanto pare sarà davvero stellare.

@NaoMikaand @Kumazzz, did you participate in the lottery? And did you get your tickets? 
 

Who else is going? Although I’m not going, I am so excited for everyone else!!! Please update us ❤️

I had managed to get my tickets from pre-sale for Smash friends members. As you see on my twitter post (and MIKA retweeted). 

So I did't participate in the lottery for my tickets. From comments on SNS, It seems that many people couldn't win SS seats category for Tokyo gig. 

It's just the beginning of ticketing war.

More pre-sale lotteries are following.

I really hope everyone can get their places eventually.

なんばハッチでのMikaのコンサートは　2010, 2013年で　はるか昔のことで...

 

コロナ以降いろいろ変わったようです。

 

また来年５月には、どうなるやら...

http://www.namba-hatch.com/whatsnew.php#event1

 

情報ありがとうございます

5月までにコロナ感染状況が終息して、感染対策が緩和されることを祈るばかりです。

マスクなしで楽しみたいですよね。

MIKAもフロアに降りて、みんなでBig Girlを大合唱したいでしょうし。

ドリンク代も先にメダルを買って、チケットに交換して、そのチケットでドリンクを買うんですね？ 

ふーむ。なかなか面倒なシステム‥。

海外からも多くのMFCersが訪日予定なので、ちゃんと説明できるように頑張りますー。

皆さま、こんにちは。NaoMikaです。

MIKA来日公演のアナウンスから1週間。いろんな感情が怒涛のように押し寄せる日々でしたが、

チケット予約も完了し、ようやく落ち着いてこちらに書き込みできる心の余裕ができました。

9月のイタリアツアーが制作・物流の問題から直前にキャンセルされて、3枚の新しいアルバムの制作やそのほかのプロジェクトをたくさんかかえている状況のMIKAが、このタイミングで日本ツアーを発表してくれるとは正直思っていませんでした。

2020年のキャンセルを経てやっと実現する日本ツアー。2016年のNHKホール以来ですね。

日本でMIKAを観れるのも楽しみですが、MFCersの皆様にお会いする機会ができるのも楽しみです。

どんなセトリになるのかな？今回もサプライズがあるといいですね。

ぜひ来日公演を成功させましょうー

NaoMika☆

PS.なんばハッチに行くのがはじめてなのですが、入場の流れとかドリンクチケットの買い方とか、ご教示いただけませんでしょうか？どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

Sorry for another question! "希望のお申込みで4枚まで指定できます", this phrase means I can apply one application for 4 tickets, right? And if the lottery result is positive, then I will have to pay for all 4 tickets, is that right?

Yes, your understanding is right.

You can apply up to 4 tickets per one application. And you have to pay for all when the positive result comes out.

Hello,

Some of MIKA fans from Europe have asked me to buy some tickets for them because Japanese ticketing system is very different from any other countries and very hard to buy from overseas.

So I will try to explain how it works. 

- SEAT LOCATION CAN NOT BE CHOSEN
In other countries you might be able to choose specific seats on a venue map.
We do not have that system for most of Rock/Pop music gigs in Japan and this concert is not an exception.

Seats are assigned by the ticket system randomly in any phase of ticket sales.

- YOU CAN CHOOSE AREA CATEGORY FROM "SS" OR "S"

【SS】Numbered seat（Front Stalls： Row1～14）-  Face Price:￥12,000 + Fees
【S】Numbered seat -  Face Price:￥10,800 + Fees

- YOUR TICKETS WILL NOT BE ISSUED BEFORE 10th MAY.

Only once you get the physical/smart ticket, you can see the seat number on it. 

The pickup of physical tickets must be made at a Seven Eleven OR Familymart location within Japan prior to the show. 

- MANY PRE-SALES PHASES AND LOTTERIES SYSTEM

Official pre-order lotteries (Senkou Chusen 先行抽選)

2022/12/06 (Tue) 17:00～2022/12/18 (Sun) 23:59
Holders of a free account can apply, and buy tickets if the lottery result is positive.

Pre-order lotteries are pretty common to buy concert tickets in Japan.

Many more Pre-sales phases are set by some ticket venders.

I don’t recommend waiting for general sale. In reality, only what is “left over” will be sold through general sale.

In my opinion,

- MOST ADVANTEGED IS "SMASH friends Members" PRE-SALE. 

2022/12/07 (Wed) 10:00～2022/12/12 (Mon) 18:00

SMASH friends is PAID membership system of Japanese event promotor SMASH! .

You can book tickets on “first-come, first-served” basis, but seats are assigned randomly within their blocked area.

(I have already consumed my allocation for my membership -sorry)

Anyway, If you are 100% sure to come to see MIKA gig in Tokyo, and wouldn't mind seat location you will end up in the all-seated venue (never allowed to rush into the front of the stage!), I will be happy to help you to get tickets for you. Contact via PM.

See you there,

NaoMika☆

Oh, it looks like they deleted all the details about the performers and repertoire from their website! Probably because it's supposed to be a secret who gets to the final rounds. 🙈

Am I supposed to delete my post on this thread?  I didn't mean to give it away.. 

This alert popped up before buying tickets.
