Arashi fan community

Please check out the post made a few days ago in this community regarding concert tickets. It has lots of information. Google searches also help.

You must be a member of the fanclub in order to be an audience member at an Arashi TV show, or at the very least friends with someone who is. Tickets to concerts are also exclusive to fanclub members, but there are more ways to get those via auctions and such (see the previous post I was referring to) :)

From:

or at the very least friends with someone who is

This info is incorrect. To be in a taping audience you MUST be a member of the FC. Only FC members are allowed to apply. When you apply with friends, you need to input those friend's FC information and you need to have all kinds of forms of ID when actually going to the show.

Also, getting into the audience is about a million times harder than getting concert tickets. I have been applying for TV show tapings since I became a member (over 3 years ago) and have never once hit. (The closest I got was the waiting list for HnA once).

And to the original poster, as for concert tickets for this tour, you will miss the FC deadline, so do check out those other posts for info about buying tickets from auctions, etc.

From:

I totally forgot to mention the ridiculous amount of paperwork/ID involved - that's what's always kept me from applying (aside from never living in Tokyo) xD I'd never looked into the process deeply enough to see that your friends had to have FC ID's too. Thanks for that extra info! :)

From:

Yeah, it's not actually that difficult it's just that you need to bring a bunch of stuff. They are actually doing something to try and lessen the paperwork and amount of time it takes to get everyone into the taping, but it's still in the trial period, so I figured it was kind of a pain to explain the whole thing, lol.

But yeah, there are sometimes events that you can apply being in any Johnny's FC, and sometimes things where they let you bring non-FC guests, but not for Arashi, every needs to be in the Arashi FC to apply.

From:

sorry for entering like that but I NEED to know something...
the deadline to ballot for the tickets is until when? or WAS until the 06/01? can't believe that I may have let it pass D: please help a desperate fan *in the middle of a heart attack TToTT*

From:

The deadline to join as a new member in order to be able to ballot was 6/11 (just passed). The deadline to submit ballots once you are a member (or if you are already a member) is 6/30.

There's still auctions / ticket.co.jp if you're willing to spend a lot more money (see the earlier entry in this community). If not, maybe you'll be lucky enough to make friends with someone in Tokyo who's already a member and will ballot an extra ticket for you.

From:

Technically it is still the 11th in Japan so the deadline has not passed. If you can get your money in within the day (if you live in Japan, that is) you should be OK.

From:

AHHHH I CAN BREATHE NOW! =D

I'm already a FC member, but I live in Brazil so I have fill the form (taken fron the internet xD) and send it to my family who lives there so they just copy the info on the real mail form and send it to the FC.... but life has been crazy lately and I didn't had time to do it, for a second I was afraid that I missed the deadline *was REALLY almost crying =X*

Thanks so much for the answer! 8D

From:

For this year you need to use the 振り込み用紙 which was sent with the instructions. You can't write your own 振り込み用紙 like you used to be able to do in previous years.

Your family who got the form and instructions from the FC probably know if they read it, but I just thought I'd let you know. You can only apply for one show this year and they have to use that form when sending in the money. Just let them know to read the instructions carefully and you should be OK.

Like she said above, the deadline is the 30th.

From:

Oh I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know... I'll talk to them to see if they can fill it for me ^^

ano...is there another change this year? price or anything? is the first time I'm balloting so it has been kinda hard for me to catch up with everything =/

sorry to be such a pain *bows*

From:

The form came with all the instructions so it should be pretty easy for them to figure out. Your 振込用紙 will already be filled in with your name, FC number, address, etc. All they have to fill out is your choices for which shows you want to ballot (You can write your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices), and how many tickets you want to ballot and the price. Again, the form is pretty self explanatory and there are instructions with it. The price is the same as last year, the only thing that is different is that you can only ballot one concert this year. (Last year there were 2 separate ballots, one for Kokuritsu and one for Domes).

Hope that helps, if you have any other questions feel free to ask.

WOW.....
Thank you for this.
Got to know more about taping audience.
I'm always curious about their impression on Arashi after they followed/went to one of shows. I mean, tbere you would see, things that wouldn't be aired for TV, and also the real Arashi, staff interaction, guests interaction with Arashi too, and audience interaction with Arashi.
And, somehow lately, I noticed in VS Arashi especially, there are more male audiences. WOWWWWW..........

From:

Yeah, technically you are not supposed to tell anyone about what happened during the taping (it's one of the rules, you know how Johnny's loves rules, hehe). Like you can't give out specific information since of course at the time the show has not been aired yet. But I'm sure people who go would post their thoughts and such in their blogs (if they have them of course, hehe).

I have a theory that they place a preference on guys who apply in order to get more of them info the audience, hehe. When you apply you have to write the gender of everyone who is applying, so we always joke that the best way to get in is to make a guy friend join the FC and then apply with him, haha xD

where is the post you are talking about? could you post a link please?

From:

It's...a few days earlier in the community from the post you're commenting to. I don't have a direct link on hand, I would have to go through the community archives the same way you would. ^^;
