Seeing AKB48 Shows (TOC at first post)

is there's something about the AKB fanclub and how you suscribe in it?

 

There isn't, but it's rather self-explanatory. Simply follow the site's instructions.

You'll be able to pay the fee at a convenience story. Then, as soon as your fan club account is activated, you'll have to link it with your ticket center account. Please ask if you run into anything that seems difficult.

There's no limit to the number of ticket center / fan club accounts you can create. This isn't encouraged by management, but as long as the e-mail address you use for registering is a different one, you can raise your chances of winning tickets by having multiple "Hashira" accounts.

 

Hey guys, so I won tickets to SKE and HKT's live in Saitama Super Arena. I've already made payment through credit card. So how do I pick up my tickets at 7-11? I'm absolutely clueless on this process.

EDIT: My friend also would like to ask, since he has decided to go for HKT only and he won for both SKE and HKT, but he opted to pay by credit card, having done so, is there a way to cancel the SKE concert?

 

What's the difference between a Waiting Stage and a regular stage (For example A6?)

Waiting stages are kinda new setlists too right? [nod]

 

The Waiting Stages all consist of songs from previous stages as well as tracks from single releases. There's no new, original content.

 

From my experience with 7-11, you'll get another email 5-7 days before the concert with a redemption number. You go to 7-11, give the number to the clerk (or show the email), and they'll print and give you the ticket. Just keep an eye out for that follow-up email.

As for the other question - once a ticket is paid for you can't cancel it.

 

Thanks for the info~ What about collecting from family mart? Is it the same process or?

 

SO.. I've won the NMB48 concert in Saitama Super Arena, it says that I must complete the payment by tomorrow, I choose payment through seven eleven, Can my friend who lives in japan do the payment for me (after I forward the e-mail to him)? Because I'll be arriving in Japan on April 2nd...

 

yes. All he needs is the confirmation code inside your mail.

 

Thank you Misaki, My friend already confirm that he has paid the ticket

 

Yeah, the family mart process is pretty similar to what he described at 7-eleven. You get an e-mail several days before the concert with a code. Family Mart has this little computer kiosk thing for ticket purchases called Family Port. It's usually located at the side of the store near where the printer and ATM is. Your email will have instructions and a code. Follow the instructions and put the code in the Family Port. It prints out a receipt and you give that to the cashier, who will then print out your tickets.

 

Has anyone had any success with Cancel machi tickets? How likely is it to get in when you're wait-listed? I was just informed I won a cancel machi for Tuesday's theater show and I have a low number. Money's kind of tight right now. Seeing AKB is worth any expense, but I don't want to spend the money and time to make the trip to Tokyo to not see AKB.

 

wah all japanese

 

Hi!
I was wondering if you can help to find a way to get a concert ticket of the group, and getting a good seat.

I'm still not familiar with their process on getting a concert ticket, does being a member of their FC gives you a priviledge or should i say ensure that you can reserve a concert ticket in no time??

Are there any other way to purchase a concert ticket beside joining the FC. I don't rely to much on lottery process... and if possible i want a sure concert ticket that can get me in. Since i'm willing to go to japan just to see their concert.

 

All AKB concerts and theater shows are lotteries. There is no guaranteed method of getting a ticket, even for FC members. You don't need to join the FC to win a ticket, it only gives you more chances to apply and hopefully win a ticket.

There are several rounds to the lottery, and only FC members can participate in the first few rounds. After those rounds, they will usually have a couple for the general public (that anyone can apply to).

 

So by entering this lottery process is my only chance to win a ticket, even i'm a overseas fan can enter this lottery, how?

Since the group hold their concert for several days, should i apply each of the days so i can win a ticket? How many percentage or should i say a probability to win this lottery, because there's a specific concert that i want to go in the future and i really want to go on that.

 

^just to let you know too, joining the FC only means extra chance of getting a ticket, but it does not means a good seat, you could end up with a seat up high in level 2 or 3 too...

My friend won a ticket for Tokyo dome, Tomochin graduation last year with her fanclub membership and the seat was at level 3, but well at least she gets a ticket.

 

By entering this lottery through their ticket center (right?) i need to create an account on that then apply for lottery on concert. By means of getting/winning a ticket on all days of concert means i need to join the lottery on each day on multiple accounts or i can stick to my one account?

 

You need to create a ticket center account. You do not want to create multiple ticket center accounts. Multiple entries from multiple accounts can get you banned.

If you join any of the fan clubs, you then need to link them to that account. (And it's a complex process depending on which FC you are using. But there are instructions on the Ticket Center page that you can run through Google Translate. You are going to need to get used to that anyway, since everything will be in Japanese).

How to apply for each day of the concert can vary by event. Sometimes you can apply for all days, sometimes you have to put them in order of preference, some have different seating options. It all really depends on the event and size of the venue.

Right now, they haven't announced any concerts officially. Was there a particular event/concert/time of year you were thinking of going? Because it may be easier to wait and ask once the event is announced, to get more details on the specifics of entering, etc.
