Is that a well known and respected site? How come it's not on the SCANDAL website?

I cannot vouch for the promoter but these guys are known to have brought in a number of J-rock/pop acts to European venues in the past, like the ONE OK ROCK show in London last year.

I have to admit OOR had their tickets sold by O2 themselves at the same time b7klan sold theirs, and I bought my OOR tix from O2. Thus far, O2 has no sign of a date for the ticket sale.

And to answer your question why it ain't on the SCANDAL site - who knows. I am a tad worried myself but if these guys had brought bands in for a few years already, the likelihood of this being a scam is potentially low.

I have tickets for ONE OK ROCK in Copenhagen, and when I was looking for places that sold tickets there where sites that charged ridiculous prices. But then I found a link to a seller on their official Facebook page that had normal prices. So since then I am a bit cautious when it comes to scalpers and such. That's why I prefer official information.

I see where you are coming from. Again, I am not associated with b7klan, nor am I receiving any commission from them (haha), these guys appear to be the ticketing arm of a French promoter who specialises in bringing in Japanese groups to play venues in Europe. They have a roster of previous J-bands that came to Europe prior to this.

The quoted price for the London show is GBP35 which is pretty much what I paid for OOR last year.

And on the balance of probabilities, with a roster of previous acts (I was aware of b7klan from last year when OOR came to London), they do not seem to be scalpers. Scalpers would charge us at least GBP70-80 (or more) for a standard ticket.

The GBP60 price tag for VIP is a lot. But that's what you pay for the privilege. This year's OOR meet n great alone was GBP75 on top of the ticket price. My hi touch SCANDAL tickets for Singapore last year was a great deal more than the normal tickets.

Like you, I too have slight reservations - especially when the actual SONY website for SCANDAL has no further info. It may well be by Wed 1200 Paris time, it may well light up with an active URL link to the ticketing site. Who knows. Let's hope so, anyway.

I guess there is nothing to do but wait and see. Unless tickets get sold out in a matter of hours I think it will be fine. I'm not even sure I can go, as I would have to fly from Sweden to London just for a concert. Normally I wouldn't do that, but this is SCANDAL after all.

I know the feeling. BTW I asked another S-H member on PM just now if he knows anything about this b7klan company. I hope he'll answer it in the Hello World 2015 thread separate to this.

Unlike gigs in Japan, gig tix for non-Japanese venues are usully open to anyone in the world who wants to buy them. And I am sure there are hardcore fans from other countries who may wanna come over and see em.

Also we need to make sure people don't get mixed up between "meet and greet" and "hi touch" tickets.

With "hi touch" you won't be getting things signed or really speaking to the girls other than a quick "hello" and a "hi touch" better known as a "high-five".

Example of a hi-touch event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y48RYyxkYRM

I've alluded to this in the main Hello World 2015 tour thread.

Yeah, I've hi-touched SCANDAL in Singapore twice. You do get to say something to them but of course in passing, and provided if you're not star struck - like me when I saw them on night 1 (was calmer on night 2 hehe). I think it'll be worth the 60 quid for next year's gig.

I'm glad I found this thread
To be honest I dun usually come to SH, but I try to find friends going to the UK concert.
I'm from HK but I'm going to exchange to Nottingham next spring semester, I hope I can go, even though I completely don't know how to get there from Nottingham and the price of the ticket. Hope it won't be too expensive I dun even know how can I buy the tickets there since I'm in China now.

When you get to the UK and if you have the tickets, give us a shout in this thread and any of the UK-based S-H members would point you in the right direction. Nottingham has direct rail links to London and the journey takes about two hours. Anyway, we'll cross the bridge when we get there.

*UPDATE*

Info from O2 Academy Islington about the gig is out. I've posted some stuff on the main HW2015Tour thread here: https://www.scandal-heaven.com/t10960p220-scandal-world-tour-2015hello-world#684289

I'll be attempting to purchase two "Hi-Touch" tickets through the b7klan.com page on Wednesday as will my friend. This way if one of our phones crash, we'll have a back up!

If we're both successful and end up with four tickets in total, I'll try to get a refund first, if that fails, I'd be more than happy to sell them at face value to someone on the forums. I'll keep you posted!

Actually I want to know if I can buy tickets at SH, would the price be much higher?
Since I might have a chance canceling my offer, I don't want to take risk

I'm hoping to go but I'm scared I won't get a ticket. I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow at the exact time the tickets go on sale and I can't cancel it so  .nervous. Only a few people have said they are attending the event on Facebook which gives me some hope but not enough to help me sleep any better tonight!

If anyone does get extra tickets and wants to sell them please contact me. I'm more than happy to use PayPal or anything else to keep the transaction legitimate (I won't be offended that you don't trust a random newbie, because I would be skeptical too)

I just want tomorrow to be here now so I can know whether to get excited or get over it!

I'll try to get one but as Paris is my priority, I cannot promise you I can have VIP ticket or even normal one :s

It's 1356 hrs GMT now - and there are still VIP tix for London, guys.

https://www.weezevent.com/scandal-hello-world-in-london

And for standard tix on Ticketweb appears to be on sale now when I checked:

http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/event/scandal-tickets/152875

But just to warn you, it appears OK on my website as my O2 priority account is logged on... just check it first.

Yayyyyy I got tickets for the VIP one in London!!! Super excited and was a little tense since the site was slow at times but all in all pretty easy... Can't wait!! I've been a fan since Shoujo S really (2009) and I never really expected them to actually come to the UK (I thought I was gonna have to go to Japan to ever get to see them) so I'm soooo happy!! :D:D:D:D 

Just wondering though, with the hi-touch, I get that you don't get more than a few seconds with them but do you think it will be okay to give them letters/gifts in that time?? Man, if I could get a selfie with them then that would be my profile picture sorted for life... XD

Would Heathrow Airport be the best place to go for, and then use the subway?

phoenixnumber1: No photos allowed when I did the hi touch with SCANDAL in Singapore, and it is very likely the same policy applies. I think people did give the gifts at the hi touch but you can't really spend that much time saying anything more than something cursory, though. If there was a bin for gifts like what they do in Japan, I really can't remember - I didn't give them anything more than a sheepish grin going blublubblub when I saw them hahaha.

joon: Heathrow's the nearest, then Gatwick, then Stansted. If you are flying on a budget airline eg Ryanair you'd be flying in into Stansted, its connected to central London via bus or train - train takes 50 mins. Heathrow is closer although the underground takes probably the same time to reach central London. Anyways, London is relatively easy. Google has loads on the subject, but give us a shout if you get stuck in your online research.

Ah thanks, that's a shame... I'll see what I can come up with by way of gifts and hope they'll let me give them :D

Wuut...I heard that tickets are gonna start selling on 26th but when I went to the venue site, it says it goes on sale on the 28th now...I haven't been active enough and playing enough attention to info flying around...Now gotta wait for it on Friday.

you can buy tickets today form b7klan site or on O2 priority. 28th is date for leftover tickets...

So i will be going, got my Vip ticket, i will be coming from Glasgow and stay at some Hostel. I will gladly meet you guys xD

Hi , everyone !
                This is my first post in this forum and I’m very nervous about how it will be accepted . So , please , don’t be angry or mad at me if I will accidentally break some of the forum rules , because there is no bad intensions .
                 Since yesterday I am happy owner of the ticket of SCANDAL concert in London ! But , before going to the concert , I will need to reach London itself . Right now I need to choose the right flight and I have quite difficult choice between “WizzAir” flight to Luton Airport and “Ryanair” flight to Stansted airport . The price is approximately the same , Ryanair has much better schedule . But the problem is with accessing airport on my way back . I have no idea how long the concert and after-concert activities will be . According to ojp.nationalrail.co.uk the last train from Liverpool Street Station back to Stansted is at 23:25 . If I will miss it , I will need to wait until 3:40 , but my flight back will be at 6:25 (if I will choose Ryanair) . And I’m not even sure , if it is possible to wait at the station during the night . 
                 Trains for Luton airport goes from St Pancras station during whole night , but WizzAir flight back to Riga is only at 14:00 , so I’m afraid that I will fall asleep somewhere . So , I would be really grateful for any information about concert duration .
                  And , yes , maybe there are some local inhabitants of England at the forum ? If yes , then I would like to ask : is it necessary to buy a train ticket through the Internet ? Can I just buy it at the station ? I assume that it would be not so expensive as via Internet .

Before I go into the details - why not stay in London for the night? Beats the hassle of all that rushing after the gig?

Well , it’s quite a difficult thing to stay for a night in a completely unfamiliar city . I’ve never been in UK before . After all the main action I will have only one task : reach an airport and not to fall asleep until boarding an airplane . That’s why I’m feeling some difficulties right now . “Ryanair” has a excellent schedule for what I’m planning , the only problem is that train back to Stansted .

Fair enough, but that would mean you have to probably leave early before the gig ends.

Keep an eye on this thread or the other Hello World tour one if anyone has any tips on cheap sleeps in town if you ever change your mind.
