Thanks for this information. I think they should inform their customers so I'll email them to say that. It shouldn't be so hard for them to do! What I won't tell them is that, to be honest, the change doesn't matter to me personally. i don't collect things like post cards. I do value the t-shirts, they are useful and classy too IMHO. Wearing them helps promote the band—so I also like giving them to friends.

I emailed them with reference to the shirt sizing and they still haven't replied, so I assumed it's US sizing and went ahead and ordered anyway while at work yesterday on my phone. I hadn't even noticed the change in text until I looked on here after then at my email confirmation.

I've sent them another email regarding the sizing and also the signed photo not so much for me as my order doesn't mention it so I've no leg to stand on really but more so for everyone else who jumped on it quick.

However like myself people may have seen the original offer not been able to order straight away and not seen the change on their return as it's not made clear, there should be a please note message  in bold on the order page informing of the change.

I send them a message. I'm not upset too high, but this situation really looks like misleading and cheating.

Definitely!!

I hate to think of Scandal having to hand sign a thousand postcards just to cover someone else's mistake. What is the difference in value between the two?
Maybe they can contact the production crew and arrange for post concert video-on-demand solo cameras. I'd definitely pay extra for that, and even waive the postcard altogether. Or at least extend the VOD replay window an extra day or two.
It's disappointing, isn't it?

That's what auto-pen is for and how most celebrities "sign" large quantities of items.

I'm a bit chuffed about this switch as the only reason i bought the bundle was for the signed postcard pic.

If you haven't already, you should email them. The more people contact them about this, the better.

I just heard back from LiveFrom. Good news, SCANDAL will be signing the photo postcard.

“We are pleased to let you know that the photo postcard will indeed be signed by the band.
LiveFrom originally removed the "signed" descriptor from the package when we received notice that the photo would be "digitally" signed.  We did not want to disappoint or mislead any fans. Once the band was informed of the issue they were more than happy to actually sign the photo postcard.”

I have also received a reply stating the same 

Nice. Although I wish we didn't have to do this in the first place...and it sounds like they really wouldn't have done anything if we didn't say anything...geez.

I haven't gotten a reply yet, but I hope they will at least contact everyone who emailed them about this/everyone who purchased the bundle...

Also, the way they worded these new emails really suck (also not surprised about that). I'm going to clarify with them to make sure the postcards are going to physically be signed by the actual band themselves + ask them if this applies to all bundles purchased and not just the ones that were purchased before the wording change.

@TGE

I agree on the wording, I also get the impression that they're trying to turn it around and make it sound like they were misinformed by SCANDAL/staff to begin with. 

I will also seek clarification on the signed postcard as I ordered after the change.

A few hours ago, LiveFrom Events started emailing people saying that the photo postcards WILL come hand-signed by the band!

Also, the listing once again lists the bundle as coming with a "signed photo postcard."


This is the email they are sending:

We are pleased to let you know that the photo postcard will indeed be signed by the band.

LiveFrom originally removed the "signed" descriptor from the package when we received notice that the photo would be "digitally" signed. We did not want to disappoint or mislead any fans. Once the band was informed of the issue they were more than happy to actually sign the photo postcard.

We emailed them to clarify if the postcard will in fact be hand-signed personally by the band + who is eligible to get the signed postcards, and they replied back with this:



Thank you to everyone who sent in an email! It's unfortunate that we had to make the company act instead of them trying to make it right on their own or even inform the buyers of potential changes, but it's great that we made this happen. Good work!

Also, thank you to the band and their team for agreeing with this. Please, please choose better companies to work with in the future. We don't want to keep having to fight to get things that were promised to us--this is the second time after all lol

I am glad you guys got the right out come out of this. No doubt Scandal would not want their fans to feel cheated on their 15 Anniversary gig.

I will wait for the DVD since I will not able to watch it Live, for I will be working that night

You can watch it after your work. Archived broadcast will be available within 48 hours, until August 23

I got an email back from them confirming that the T-Shirt sizes are US and not Japanese.

Can’t wait for the concert!

Plot twist : LiveFrom removes the "signed" mention on the day of the livestream

Omg, thank you so MUCH !! Honestly, when I purchased the bundle I did not know about signed or not signed lol (I just looked at the t-shirt) ! But glad it will be signed TwT !!!  I cross my fingers that they will sell INVITATION's merchs overseas!

Got my *virtual* ticket!

Now the hard part will be to wake up at 6 AM on a Saturday

Hello, I just saw that they will be selling Livestream tickets but I think Im not able to purchase one because I'm from the overseas?? Can someone please help me to figure it out?

We've been talking about overseas livestream tickets for the past two pages of this thread (and the problems we've been having with the company not being honest lol), but yeah, anyone outside of Japan can purchase a livestream ticket here:

oh, I should've re-read those pages! Thank you!

The setlist is gonna be the most voted songs, right? (+ Ivory and Eternal, I guess)

Spent the last months voting almost every day so I can hear live versions of my favorite ones

Tuba wrote:The setlist is gonna be the most voted songs, right?

No, they said it will NOT be. That was basically what their recent fan club tour was for.

The setlist for INVITATION might be slightly affected by the results/the most popular songs are likely already going to be on the list already, but it is not going to be primarily based on the voting results. They will, however, be announcing the results during the concert.

But... 

Now I'm curious about the setlist, cause it's not like they have a new album to promote or anything. So, I imagine the results will have some influence on it.

Sure, but like I said, it's not going to primarily be based on the results. Keep in mind that this is first and foremost an anniversary concert, so we'll likely get songs from all across their 15 years, à la their 10th anniversary concert five years ago.

"one piece" is the only song we know they will definitely play. "Hachigatsu" is also a safe bet.
