Diana Yokoyama Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Hello! I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain the rules for buying tickets for a concert in Japan. I understand correctly that you have to have a Japanese number and address in order to enter the lottery to buy a ticket, isn't it? And I'm a bit confused when I read the information on the website, there are some front row tickets, friends tickets and some other categories of tickets? And is there any advantage to buying a ticket in pre-sale than buying it already during the general sale in January, apart from the fact that you just get your ticket earlier? My apologies for the many questions! Edited December 7, 2022 by Diana Yokoyama 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies for the many questions! I have the same questions as you (for Osaka and Tokyo). And is it normal that tickets are allocated via a lottery? Help is really appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaoMika Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) 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☆ Edited December 10, 2022 by NaoMika 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the lottery result is positive, then I will have to pay for all 4 tickets, is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have already managed to get tickets, this is amazing!! Finally he is flying to you and not the other way around ❤️ 9 hours ago, NaoMika said: It's just the beginning of ticketing war.

Or just certain ones?). Buying tickets is already stressful (especially the assigned seats ones!), this just adds an uncertainty and more stress 😢 How grateful we can be that we usually can just buy a ticket (outside of Japan 😅), knowing we will be able to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiftfeatherz Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. See also the post from Naomi beneath. I hope this helps you. Edited February 16, 2023 by Prisca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. https://ib.eplus.jp/index.php?dispatch=pages.view&page_id=47 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
