I think I will be in Japan around March, but I'm not 100% sure yet if I can go. Even if I could, I have no idea how I could get tickets >_<

You can get tickets a few different ways.

1) Figure out the public ticket sale lottery dates. Either enter the lottery yourself using Tenso to receive the tickets or use a buying service like Celga. The tickets will arrive at Tenso/Celga two weeks before the concert. Have Tenso/Celga ship them to your hotel in Japan.

2) Find tickets for sale on Yahoo Japan Auctions. Use Celga to bid/buy the tickets. Have Celga ship them to your hotel in Japan.

3) Set up a verified paypal account. Have http://www.fdjp.com/ buy tickets for you. They will ship them to your hotel room in Japan.

I just got in contact with a japanese friend with contact working in Japan JTB. Contact said that JTB group deals with tours for fan-club, and i hope scandal-heaven qualifies as one (i mean we should definitely qualify right!!).
I am trying to ask for the email/phone details of the JTB contact to speak directly, (but) my japanese is non-existent.. hope the contact's english is ok

Will keep everyone informed if there's any updates

Hmmm, got a mail from Celga yesterday that the ticket has already arrived. Maybe I should ask if it's really the ticket or just a notification that the ticket is purchased...

Talking about that? http://ameblo.jp/su2009/entry-11145519458.html

Hmm interesting, usually they aren't sent out this early. Let us know what you find out please :) It would be nice if they were available soon so we can have enough time to have them sent overseas instead of having them sent to a hotel.

This is the email of my JTB contact in the US: eaoyama@jtbusa.com
Her name is Etsuko Aoyama. I was checking about getting a SHUS group going but because a lot of us have different schedules and dates that we plan to go it made it difficult. She should remember SCANDAL HEAVEN so email her and let her know you're looking into getting a group from Singapore going. Either she will handle it or she will refer you to a Singapore rep.

Is there someone here who knows a lot of the Singapore members and would be able to give me some info on the number of people coming and for what days? I'm trying to set up a SH event and I it would be really helpful if there is someone with their finger in the pulse of the Singapore fans.

I know that Firelit, Flare and Eugene are planning to go, and I'll be flying into Singapore to fly to Japan with them. I'd ask Eug or Flare as to the actual number of people planning to go though.

also want to watch but that day is the same as when i'll take my final exams!!!



Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!


Can't watch sorry!!!!!!

Cool, I sent a PM to Flare. Do you know if you guys will all be in Tokyo for a couple days past Budokan? Is there anyone who is planning on going who will NOT be in Tokyo during the couple of days following Budokan?

I know me and Firelit are planning to stay for a few days, but I'm not sure about the rest.

Alright, those in SG who are committed to go, contact me!!! Send me a PM and I'll drag you guys into the plan. We can fly in together or meet up in Tokyo before the concert.

We'll be getting the tickets through Yahoo Japan Auction, so we're expecting to pay 2-3 times the face value. From what I know, the tickets will be released around 10 Feb. So I'm expecting them to appear on auction around then, which makes plenty of time for it to be shipped here to SG.

Most importantly, let me know who'll be there so that boss 320x200 can do his work.

Edit:
From what I know, those that's going with me are gonna stay in Tokyo for the entire week of Budokan.

Mi always in for it if i dont have to sell a kidney for the trip
So yea tix are the problem and yea i saw ur post on it 320x200
Hopefully Flare can work some not-so-expensive magic
i mean i got mine virgin hall tours tix for 5500yen excluding shipping n stuff

And mi planning stay for a week or 2

HUAT ar!

Alright I'm restarting the list with what info I have about the peeps that'll be flying in from Singapore and the estimated period of stay.

Commited to go (In the process of getting Air tix, concert tix etc.)
1. Flare (24 Mar - 08 Apr)
2. EugeneAng (24 Mar- 31 Mar)
3. Firelit (24 Mar- 31 Mar)
4. Bemnage (24 Mar- 31 Mar)
5. SakuRedux (24 Mar- 31 Mar)
6. holocaust (24 Mar- 31 Mar)
7. Yatsushiro (24 Mar- 31 Mar)
8. zechzech (?)
9. xtrmntr84 (?)

If anyone else is not in the list, please send me a PM. Do make your own arrangement for travel, lodgings and concert tickets. I've never travelled to Japan before... so....

For concert tickets, I have no better ideas than what 320x200 had already mentioned and i'm personally trying to get the tickets via the same means... paying through my nose...

Edit: Added xtrmntr84!

@ propglenn: thanks for the email address

Sigh, my JTB contact couldn't get priority booking, so it's a no-go for group tickets. ;(

@ SG ppl: saw this offer - sg to tokyo delta airlines, no stopover, 600+, pretty much covers the entire period for budokan. I'm probably book it if can cfm tickets. (ya right, big if)

BTW any idea/estimate how much the live goods cost? with the yen exchange rate now, hope conserve a bit of $$

Well, for concert merchandise, you can just use the price of the current batch of concert goods as a gauge:

http://kittywebshop.com

Which means about:
3000 yen for a T-shirt
2000-2500 yen for a Towel
500-1000 yen for a strap/keychain

any ideas when the tickets come out on yahoo auction, will they be up there for long? because im still trying to raise my own fundings and doing some convincing to my parents.. if theres a chance that im going there, i might not just stay in tokyo all the way.. would love to pay a visit to Osaka..

Well, can't really guess... Depends on how well they sell I guess... For Baby Action, the tickets for some of the venues were available all the way until the week of the show.

According to post, my package from celga including the SCANDAL MANIA magazine and the ticket for the concert should arrive today. As soon as I have it, I will take photo if it's really the concert ticket

oh... you join scandal mania? *envies* good for you!
