To be honest, I see the tix being sold out and us getting from YJA. Its no surprise that most of concerts after being announced, the tix will be release within 2 weeks.

You can definitely put me on the Can list. I'll save like a hell-hound to make this trip. My only problem would be the tickets for the show. .wew.

Now to get my head to studying Japanese .hardwork.

Ganbatte minna! SH WILL DO IT IN JAPAN!

JNTO called me back a few hours ago and told me to call SCANDAL inquries directly, I am not confident with my Japanese and the entire thing is speaking to me in Japanese....

so is there anyone willing to give this a try? I have the number with me.

Sorry to hear you can't make it

They gave you a number for SCANDAL? My Japanese isn't good enough but I know a couple people who might be able to help if I can figure out how to ask them politely enough lol...

I have another idea which might work but we will need to do it fast. The idea is, we get hold of a hotel and confirm your reservations with them and at the same time request them to purchase the tickets, how is that?

sounds feasible... but that would means that we must confirm the number of people going soon right? would be hard because its still about 6-5 months away from now...

@HirumaKyo, hotels usually only accept reservations 3 months in advance, so that is an issue too but then rental apartments might allow earlier reservations

Serenula wrote:@HirumaKyo, hotels usually only accept reservations 3 months in advance, so that is an issue too but then rental apartments might allow earlier reservations

true but if we were to try out that idea... the list of confirmed going-to-the-Budokan people is a must and other details will also need to be out fast before the list so that people can calculate and decide on their individual budgets and schedule...

Maybe the hotels would say something like "we can do that if you have at least 10 people" or some limit. From their side the larger the group the more it's worth it to try and buy tickets.

sonotori desu. Exactly.. so that is extreme desperate measures. I am still waiting replier from a few people I e-mailed and also for 320x220 to see if his friends managed to call then SCANDAL inquries

have fun for those that are going! budokan...im jealous

we will always have these moments where we have to choose our choices... someday, you'll have to choose between vacation or taking big projects... .omg.

hmm... so are we going to list out and confirm the details like the duration, budget planning and the places of interest to visit soon?

@HirumaKyo Ticketing comes first, budget is a personal issues and since this is Budokan, I dun think you will be visiting much locations as the trip will be an extremely short one meaning, Flying to Japan, next day Budokan then next day Fly home.

I'm personally planning on spending a week there. I'm pretty lucky though, and it sucks that so many people are gonna miss out on this. I just hope they make good on what they said and they do another tour of Asia. Hell, do a world tour. Europe needs some loving too! Hahaha

You are lucky with the budget and time to spare :D. Yea, sadly many people like me will miss this grand event, but hey~ SCANDAL will not stop there.. perheaps one day, it will be Tokyo Dome!.

I'll be staying for at least another week after the concert. My wife will be flying in to meet me. She'll be nice and comfortable while we freeze our butts off Q-ing in the streets of Tokyo at 6-13°C. Hope it's not gonna be windy...

I'm a tropical monkey... San Francisco spring was cold to me and they said California had mild weather...

All this being said, It's just a reminder to factor in warmer clothes in your budget... Just in case...

@Flare unless the climate changes, my previous trip to Japan in March was a raining season, wind and rain makes the temperature unbearerable, so dun forget to also pack in an umbrella

i see i see... i had little to none experience in overseas trip planning, so pardon me for my rudeness.. .sweat. lets hope that the tickets can be gotten at standard price... .smile.

im also thinking of going off for a personal trip to go kyoto after the concert...

If you have the budget yes . Well, I guess you guys will only be meeting for budokan in this case, the hotel and airfare may have to be on eachs own

I'm not sure if everyone knows or not, but general admission in Japan isn't done first-come-first-serve like it usually is over here. It's done in order of ticket number. So, anyone buying tickets off YJA or anywhere, the ticket number really matters for general admission.

@320x200 when I went for X Japan at Tokyo Dome, it was first come first served as sitting is already listed on the ticket.

I want to go but still thinking abt it plus also dont know if im free...
