I would kill a man to go to Kokuritsu.

[gimmick-game.livejournal.com]

I ...actually, I'd probably be more wanting to go to an arena concert than Kokuritsu. :/

[jackie.livejournal.com]

My first concert viewing was AAA in Kokuritsu. It's ~speshel~ to me. And I love outdoor concerts.

[gimmick-game.livejournal.com]

My first Arashi concert viewing was Iza, Now. My first actual j-concert was w-inds. in Zepp Tokyo. So...TINNNNY venues are awesome to me.

[kimi-no-tsuki.livejournal.com]

Sorry to butt in, hehe. A tiny venue might be pretty amazing to see Arashi in, but Kokuristu.... Kokuritsu it's amazing beyond amazing xD

[gimmick-game.livejournal.com]

It's pretty. It's huge. It's ...huge. But, I prefer intimacy for a concert. *shrugs*

I'm trying for the later dates, anyway. I wouldn't have a chance in hell for Kokuritsu and I don't want to risk the rain anyway.

[kimi-no-tsuki.livejournal.com]

Ah, it's the hugeness that makes it amazing. I can't think of the right word in English... but feeling that 一体感 with 70,000 other fans and the boys, it's pretty amazing. And actually... the rain was also awesome, haha! I went last year on MatsuJun's birthday, and it was probably the most memorable day of my Arashi-fan-life, hehe. Being able to stand in the pouring rain for over three hours and not notice that you are soaked to the bone and freezing is pretty amazing in my book xD

The domes are also fun too, but Kokuritsu is just special somehow... maybe it's just me ;^^

[jackie.livejournal.com]

This, exactly. I wasn't even there and I was just filled with overwhelming love for the boys and all the fans and everything. Time is an amazing concert, too, but it just feels so different from the Kokuritsu concert(s).

[kimi-no-tsuki.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I am glad to see that you understand the feeling too :D It's the feeling that is amazing, you don't even have to be anywhere close to them and you can feel the love, hehe. It's intimacy on a large scale, if that makes any sense xD

I'm kinda worried that since I hit Kokuritsu last year I wont hit it this year though, aaah! Well, we'll see I guess.

[kimi-no-tsuki.livejournal.com]

Tickets for FC members are 7000yen actually. The 7500yen which is listed on Jnet is the "regular" price... however, you can be 100% certain there will be no regular ticket sales this year, as there were none last year.

And ballots for FC members were mailed out today, and the deadline to apply is June 30th. (I dunno if this info is helpful for non FC members in any way though, just thought I'd let you know)

[kimi-no-tsuki.livejournal.com]

Haha :P I see you there below me, hehe xD

[aishitsuzukeru.livejournal.com]

Playguide cost is 7500yen.
Fan Club cost is 7000yen.

[jayzslam.livejournal.com]

huhu..really hope to get chance watch their concert as i will be there on 19-21st nov....but how can the ticket???huhuhu..hope someone can help me.

[kimi-no-tsuki.livejournal.com]

If you are not a FC member your chances to get a ticket at regular price are zero. Even if you are a fanclub member, your chances may not be that much better. Your best bet would be to buy scalped tickets online, which judging from last year will run you at least 60,000yen ($600) and at most, a few thousand dollars. If you are in Tokyo on the day of the concert, there is also a ticket shop in Harajuku which you can try waiting at for "day of" tickets to lower in price. Last year's Tokyo Dome I got a ticket there for 30,000yen 10 mins before the concert started, and that was as low that they would go. This year, who knows how crazy it will be though...

[jayzslam.livejournal.com]

whoah, as for now i juz need to wait patiently and hope miracle will be happen on that day..even i didnt get the tix, i will be there to get goodies..huhu..thx for the info ya..^_^

[maple-caramel.livejournal.com]

p.s: kokuritsu will be amazing...just love it...since i just fall for Arashi since i saw their AAA 2008 dvd concert...

i am in urgent need of info

[shogirl2010.livejournal.com]

please, help me.. i NEED to get a hold of one of the tickets for tokyo dome.. how is this sold? where can i buy it? i really really hope to be there.. PLEASE. SOMEONE.. tsukete itadakimasen ka!!?!!??!

Re: i am in urgent need of info

Ballots for FC members are going on this month, the deadline is the 30th. After that we will have to wait for the results. Since Tokyo Dome is in November, the results may not be until September or October. After FC members get their results, tickets will go up for sale on various auction/scalping websites. It's most likely that the tickets will go start going up for sale the day the results are announced as many "FC members" are actually just scalpers trying to make money off of genuine fans. If you are not a FC member living in Japan at the moment, pretty much your only chance for tickets is to buy them through one of those sites. Or to make friends with a genuine FC member who by some miracle has an extra ticket, this is not likely to happen

Re: i am in urgent need of info

[shogirl2010.livejournal.com]

arigatou.. i am still hoping to be in time. if i have only known sooner how that being part of the club would get me to the concert, i would have done this before. i have only been a fan recently.. this 2010. i found a way to get me into the fan's club. unfortunately, i came back from tokyo last may 7. i didn't know joining was indeed a requirement. thanks for the info though.

i plan to save up for my trip. but then, what i'm worried about is if i get there, i won't be able to watch it because of the damn tickets. my mom and sister lives in tokyo. now, i am making a miracle to be part of the club. i just have to get my sister do this.

Re: i am in urgent need of info

[kimi-no-tsuki.livejournal.com]

You have to join the FC by June 11th (that's this Friday) to be in the running for tickets. Also, being in the fanclub does not guarantee you tickets. It is a raffle and since there are probably well over 800,000 people in the FC by now, the chances are not that great. So don't expect that you will definitely get tickets even if you join in time (I have been in the fan club for over 3 years and I did not hit for Tokyo Dome last year, it's all up to chance). I'm not saying this to be mean or anything, I just don't want to get your hopes up and then you would be really upset if you didn't hit.

Actually, two years ago, for Dream-A-live in 2008 there were ticket sales for non-FC members. But since then their popularity has grown so much that there is no longer a chance for regular tickets sales. Last year for 5x10 there were no regular sales, and there were many many fans in the FC who didn't even hit for one concert.

Re: i am in urgent need of info

[shogirl2010.livejournal.com]

if that doesn't work.. please tell me how to bid. because i really plan to go to Tokyo dome this year. I did try to survey the place when i was there.. to see the nearest way in just in case. it IS so huge. and if that will be for 3 consecutive nights and if it can hold 100,000 fans per night, that's 300,000.

LOL. I'm still keeping my hopes. if there are a million, they would probably hit for seoul, shanghai, fukuoka, nagoya or somewhere. i don't wanna ride a bullet train all the way to the south.. *so fans please, oh please just take the other routes..

Tokyo is our city.. i really need freakin tickets there. there is no other option for me. how and when does the bidding start?

Re: i am in urgent need of info

[kimi-no-tsuki.livejournal.com]

Do you mean bidding for auctions? Once the results of the FC ballots are out, people who are trying to sell their tickets will start putting them up on various sites. So, you just have to wait until then.

Re: i am in urgent need of info

[shogirl2010.livejournal.com]

wish i could be one of the lucky ones to buy that.. :p

[qq-forgetmenot.livejournal.com]

i so wish i can get hold of a ticket this year >"<
last year i went to japan for a trip and brought concert goods (even when i don't have a ticket) but this year i really wish i can get someone to help me hit the ticket before i arrange a whole trip all the way from USA...

if anyone wanna help me it's much much appreciated!!
i don't even care about which location i'm all open!

[nemoloki.livejournal.com]

I would kill to go to the tokyo dome gigs (well...metaphorically) . I'll be living at japan by that point. How did you get tickets - i suppose being really lucky. If i can't get one then i'm definately going to go and hug the walls or something. or just buy stuff. ^_^

[kimi-no-tsuki.livejournal.com]

If you will be living in Japan by that time, your best bet is to buy tickets from an auction or ticket scalping website. It will cost you a pretty penny, but it's your only chance if you are not in the FC and do not have any friends in the FC with extra tickets

This year, the tickets will be even harder to hit for FC members, as the number of FC members has probably about doubled since then. So, it is likely that the price of scalped tickets will also be way more than it was last year.

[nemoloki.livejournal.com]

Ahh thank you! I know the tickets are going to expensive but hopefully it will be worth it ^_^ I find it weird that you have to join a fan club to get tickets. But in another way a ballot for tickets is a good as it would be fair. But it I guess that it might be more fair to some people than others.
Anyway, ramballing aside, thank you so much for your help : D I'm going to see what i can find!

[kimi-no-tsuki.livejournal.com]

The reason you have to join the FC to get tickets, is because there are way too many fans. This year and last year (5x10) there was no regular sales of tickets, however in 2008 (Dream-A-live) there was. So, you didn't necessarily have to be a FC member (though getting regular sale tickets was 10 million times harder than getting FC tickets). But after that their popularity skyrocketed and it has become what it is today.

[nemoloki.livejournal.com]

oh wow. thats a lot of fans. Don't blame them mind. ^_^ I suppose thats like pre-sales. I went to go and see muse a few years ago and the only reason i got tickets is because i was begging a friends' friend to let me have the fan club presale link at like 2 in the morning ^_^ worked though.

Thanks for your help ^^
