Question about concert tickets

Another question (sorry). Who here has been to a concert from America, especially for 10-11 Scene tour? Where did you get the tickets from? For how much? What venue is usually the cheapest?

I asked je_goods and she told me budget around $1000 for one ticket. I want to see if there are other suppliers/price range out there.

Thanks!

Being in the fanclub and balloting smart does help. If you ballot for only Tokyo, Kokuritsu and Osaka and ballot for 3 tickets everytime, no you're not going to have a better chance. If you ballot for the more obscure venues (Sapporo, Nagoya, Fukuoka) and only ballot for 2 tickets, you have a better chance. I have two friends who've only been in the fanclub for 2 years each that balloted for fukuoka last day for 2 tickets and both hit. I have another friend who it's her second year in it as well and she balloted for 2 tickets for tokyo as well as nagoya and got tokyo.

So if you're going for Kokuritsu, going for 3 tickets - no your chances aren't good.

I think it has do to a lot with luck.
Tokyo is way too far away anyways, so I wouldn't ballot for those tickets.
I almost went to Fukuoka on their last concert day and was hoping for scalpers, but in the end I didn't go. As it was the last day, chances were probably quite low anyways ^^

Do you ballot for two or three tickets? I've heard that is a BIG factor as well.

All my friends did for 3 tickets.

That's your problem then. It's much harder to hit for 3 than it is for 2.

I see. So, if one would try for only one ticket, then chances might be even higher, generally speaking?

Theoretically, yes, but it seems like two is really the best bet. I don't know that one would be any better of a shot, but it might. Try for two next time.
