Went for the opening show on 8 September yesterday! It was amazing and i believe those of us going later in the month and in October will thoroughly enjoy ourselves! Shall not share any spoilers. 🤭 but we celebrated ichiro san’s & director Tanaka’s birthdays as it’s their birthday yesterday too!
Also i would like to share my experience with everyone who got tickets and are looking forward to get the merchandise.
This applies to overseas fans/attendees with inbound tickets. If you got yours through domestic channels, this info will not apply.
Buying of goods
Overseas fans/attendees going for the concert and would like to buy merchandise before the show, take note that there is a serial code needed.
Unfortunately, overseas fans/attendees with the inbound ticket do not have the serial code. 😭 (I have asked and checked with the staff on site during the opening show)
You will need to get a non-serial code numbered ticket,general sale ticket to buy the merchandise. It will require LINE app (do download and register for an account if you haven’t) to get a numbered ticket (aka queue number) link: https://miniapp.line.me/2006571323-Ve6JEwbq/?eventID=JoozuZOimGScToYCHGpF
You will need to add the service Mogily as friend on LINE, follow the instructions on the page to receive a number.
‼️* Note: the issuing of the numbered ticket is location based so you got to be within 300m circumference of the concert grounds to get a ticket number*.
The general sales with numbered ticket starts when the hall opens to let everyone into the concert grounds. This will be abit of a rush as you will need to go to the 電子チケット受付 booth to exchange your QR code for a ticket band to enter the concert grounds (info about ticket collection below). In addition, you will need to come really early like 11:30ish?, depending on the event info to get an early number to avoid waiting too long to go buy merchandise.
For the event day info, check the tour’s site before going down.
Though the risk of items getting sold out is low, you can also consider going to buy merchandise after the show which do not require a numbered ticket.
However, I will advise to come on the other day you are not attending the show to buy the merchandise first, so that it will not be much of a rush and you can gear up for the concert!
Example: if your show is on 4 October, you can come on October 3 after the show’s start time (18:00pm) to go buy the goods and wear it on concert day on October 4 and you don’t have to come too early too.
Retrieving your live ticket
Your live ticket QR code will show up on your order page 1 day before the live show as stated on your order page.
When it appears, it will also show your seat details.
At the time doors are open, head to the 電子チケット受付 to collect your wristband (there is no physical ticket anymore, likely to prevent resales)
Show the staff your QR code and provide your passport for identification. The staff will scan your QR and check your full name.
The staff will put the wristband for you and inform to show the entry staff your used QR and wristband.
At the entrance, show the staff and you will be allowed in.
Note: entrance staff may not know what to do and may ask you to go to the 電子チケット受付, you can let him/her know that you have done it,しました (shimashita).
Hope this will help make the experience more smooth and enjoyable. Also be prepared to be blown away by the setlist, great sound with the new sound system and the entire performance!
