As promised...

Nice! Can you decipher the seating information? Is it going to be assigned seats or GA areas?

The seating information is found in the right lower corner... but with my limited japanese speaking, my thoughts may be totally wrong...

2 階 = second floor (Budokan is divided in upper and lower part, so second floor is the upper part)
南 W = South entrance, row W (I think so)
48 番 = seat 48

-> Second stage, south entrance, seat 48 in row W

But maybe my japanese friends can help me with that

I'm afraid your seat details aren't very encouraging

on second thought, although the ticket indicates practically back row, the south side is still probably one of the better places to be since you'll be facing the stage head on

Ok i managed to get ticket through my contact yeah
anybody want to get tickets too? pls PM me fast

sorry guys, i tried to get 5 tickets just in case but contact said sold out liao..

Yup! Looks like SCANDAL did it! They sold out their first BUDOKAN Live!!!

Since I didn't expect to get a ticket it would be unfair to complain about the seat position... I'm just happy to get there

But if I ever happen to go to another concert, I will have better seats as FC member

Btw. do you think it looks strange if you go to a fanclub-only event as a western person that has very limitied japanese knowledge?

Scandal vs Budokan event is not a fanclub-only event... besides, its not strange because you are going there to show the girls your support and even if you have limited Japanese knowledge, it does not really matters. Japanese people would make the effort to speak in little English they know to communicate with you..

Yeah, yeah, I know that the concert is not fanclub-only... but if there will be another fanclub-only event and I could get a ticket for that... that's the question

Since fanclub-only will be a much more familiar atmosphere than such a huge concert

I wouldn't let that stop you. I've been to Scandal events as the only foreigner and unable to understand any Japanese and it was cool. You just gotta keep your eyes wide open and really watch what everyone else is doing to understand where to go and what to do.

Tickets sold out in 15 mins.. I doubt i can get it even if I was living in Japan .waaa.
i so wanna go!

you can still try yahoo auctions. you just need to burn at least twice more of the price of the ticket. Though they usually sell it in pairs.

Thanks for the info! But i think i will pass (and live to regret it..) since i don't have the money to buy the ticket, let alone fly there.. and i won't be able to make it for the live due to my exam-filled schedule

They released more tickets for sale! For those who is able to participate in the raffle, sign up here:

The registration for the raffle is from 18 to 26 Feb and the results will be revealed on 1 Mar.

Good Luck!

A new update for me.. I had managed to cough out funds from somewhere and will be able to join you guys for the Budokan concert... .happy. another of my friend is also joining me for the trip.. however, I'll be going Japan from the 22 Mar to 30 Mar while my friend will be arriving at Tokyo on the 25/26 Mar.. for me, I would be going to Kyoto/Osaka for sighting first before heading down to Tokyo for the concert... .smile.

For the Budokan tickets, you think its better to try luck at the raffle or just purchase from Yahoo Auction? My friend and I are debating about this issue..

If you have already planned your trip then there is no harm tryin ur luk at raffles
Just be sure that foreigners are able to join and there is a way for them to deliver it to you? As long as you know how it works...

If you are only going to Japan for budokan then its betta to get from auction. So at least if you dont get the tix you wont waste a trip dw.

But and tis is just if you are unlucky, now there arent many tix left in YJA and if the new seats are gonna be closer it might be more ex also.

So far i haben seen any tix for the standing or the 1F. Maybe tis round of raffles is for 1F and then there would be another round of raffles for the stands? Just baseless speculations...

Well, Personally I'm guessing because the ground and 1F tickets were allocated to the SM, Mobile Phone Fanclub and site pre-sales. The tickets for these have yet to be sent out. The tickets we see online now are from the general sales.

As for the new round of raffle, I have no base, but I suspect that they are for the North-East and North-West sectors which does not have an optimal view and were initially blocked out from the sale. For one, I have yet to see any tickets for the North-East and North-West sectors...

Just another update, my friend can't take leave with his company due to some unforeseen circumstances.. So, I have a spare ticket here.. The seating is southwest 2nd floor.. So, whoever can make it for the trip to Japan but can't get their hands on the ticket, you can contact me..

Side note: I got the tickets from yahoo auction so, you can imagine the price..

Hi all, sorry for the late reply.
