When you see something like this on ticketing sites saying that tickets for an upcoming event are not currently available, that does mean that the event is sold out. The Paris date said the same kind of thing until the other day when tickets were randomly sold again, and then sold out again pretty fast. Now the ticketing page says once more that it's sold out.

So, technically, all three of the Europe shows seem to be sold out since there are no tickets currently available for any of them.

I get it now. Like, if someone puts a ticket up for resale. Otherwise, the venue itself is sold out. Yay! Golden tickets!

I bought mine via ticketmaster like 2,5 - 3 years ago but just to be sure i asked them again if are those still valid for Berlin 2022 and they replied with yes. Maybe it isn't usefull answer for you but for those waiting for few years...

I guarded my two tickets for the Berlin concert for over two years now  

Today I booked my traintrip to Berlin and a cheap hotel (with bad reviews, but you got to stay somewhere, and it's just for one night).

I just got my notice about the London meet and greet. I must say I'm a bit disappointed by the restrictions. Group photos will reduce the time Scandal is in the same room as us, but it won't reduce the time in "close contact" with someone contagious. I understand they really don't want to get sick again, but gosh. I'll get a better shot taking a selfie from the balcony.

Few updates:

-Ticketmaster Berlin sent an email saying that check-in will start around 5 pm, and also included a "letter of authorization" PDF in case the original purchaser won't be present (i.e. you sold the ticket to someone else). Who knows if they'll really enforce this, but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry and get it filled out if it's applicable to you. They did not enforce this lol

-TicketWeb sent an email saying that the London M&G photo will be a group photo consisting of 5 fans plus the band. Really weird and very unheard of (it's only happened once so far, and that was at the Philippines concert in 2018 for one of the fan meet tiers offered). It also says that the band and the fans must wear masks.

-Fans found out right before the Berlin show that the M&G photo was also going to be a group photo consisting of 5 people per group. The upside is that you get to take 5 photos in total.

-The Paris venue has not said that the M&G photo will be a group one (but then again, the Berlin one did not announce it prior to the concert). Will update if there is a change in that.

-Here is the merch that will be sold (it's almost the entire Japan merch lineup):

Berlin show is over, it was fun

Brilliant was that during Scandal Baby Tomomi got the phone from someone in the audience and filmed herself with it.

Really looking forward to Saturday (apart from the drive down). Hopefully (not counting my chickens until I am watching them come out on stage!) my first live Scandal concert. Safe journey to everyone who is going.

I lost my voice and my legs   . This was awesome

For the London Gig it say 7.00pm is that when doors open or when it starts, for there seen to be another right gig after Scandal.

7 pm is when doors open, so the concert likely will start at 8 pm.

It says the other event starts at 10:30 pm. That's fine; SCANDAL should end by 10.

Eagerly waiting for tomorrow! It'll be my first time watching them live! I wish I could have gotten M&G tix but that's alright, there's always next time!

Just seen a tweet which has the footage from the phone that Tomomi borrowed. Not sure if I am allowed to post a link but definitely worth a look and certain to put a smile on your face.

I don't see why you couldn't, because if Tomomi didn't want it to appear on the net, she really shouldn't have used it. It's kinda obvious the owner would put it on there.

Just back at my hotel, what Gig that was. Tomo done it again, she took someone phone for a spin.

Just back from the concert. It was beautiful! Finally, finally got to see them live

Finally home from my first ever live Scandal concert, exhausted but still got a big smile on my face. It was the most enjoyable concert I’ve ever been too. They all looked stunning and sounded great. So much positive energy too. A very nice and unexpected bonus was getting a VIP pic with the band from a very nice man in the queue whose friend had pulled out at the last minute because he didn’t want a pic with other fans. Ironically, I got my pic with just me, brother and the band! I really hope that they come back to the UK soon (next year please, although next week would be better! ).

First time seeing these four exceptional and wonderful ladies it was everything I hoped and more, I'm still buzzing now and can't stop looking at the images I captured on my phone. It's an evening that will live long in my memory, from the meet and greet photo to the show and to cap it all off I was fortunate enough to get Tomomi's pick that she threw out at the end.   

I'd also like to give a special mention to the event organiser Wildthing, LOL ! He did a cracking job. I also met Hogradish briefly on the balcony prior to the show so was able to put faces to the names.

You got Tomomi's pick, I am so jealous !

I was at their 2015 show at the same venue but I had nobody to go with me this time and did not want to travel there on my own, glad to hear everyone had a great time though

That me back home and done in. It was one of best gigs I ever went to, I may do meet & greet next time they come around. I manged to get close to front on Mami side, she was playful to the crowd on my side.
I have lot good videos and photos to show to my mates.

The only downside to the night was I could not see Rina due to her drum kit; it would have been nice if could came to the front to sing her song, but that mean one of others got take over drums' duties lol.

I have a ticket for Paris, but won't be able to make it, since I've got corona. Probably caught it on the train to Berlin or the Berlin show. I hope everyone else is OK.

If anyone is interested in taking over the ticket, PM me.

That's such a shame, hope you could at least get reimbursed on train / hotel. I heard the Berlin show was a blast though so at least you didn't miss the tour !

I already have my tickets for Paris but I might be interested in upgrading if yours is a Meet and Greet. I've just created my SH account (long time stalker though :p) so I can't send MPs sorry :/ (I can provide my email if needed, it's on my profile).

PS : if anyone else is alone and wants company, I'm going alone since my friends couldn't attend after the date(s) change(s).
