the venue, how big it is ?
I like the feeling of the small venues, so if it is again a 5000+ place, I'm not that interested.

The hall A (where I went last month) has 5,012 seats.

If you can get extra tickets, I'm interested

Arrgh.
For 12 extra seats, I can not go >___<


I'd love to go. But this is really a question of budget.
Anyway, Yyrkoon, if you want to use my IDS# to have extras, feel free

Haha, my thoughts when I posted the exact number!

I totally understand, and the flight tickets are quite expensive during Winter vacations... :'(

We have some time till the end of the lottery (actually it hasn't started yet), so let's see until then.

Argh, I'm so tempted... would the concert be a lot different than the Follow Me tour?

I'm heading to Iceland in end Nov/early Dec, so I'm pretty much on a very tight budget for December... How expensive would Tokyo be during NYE? .__.

I checked the hotel for new years where I stayed last time and it's almost twice the price. The flights from where I live aren't much different from April though.

There will not be a lot of new songs so the setlist may be a bit redundant with the Follow Me concert.

Since we physically met (love this 21th century new expression), you can stay at my place. It's a one room apartment in Meguro so there won't be a lot of privacy but it's big enough to welcome several guests (if we're more than 4 it will look like camping :p) and it's free!

Tickets from Malaysia are a bit more expensive Ah well I'll keep an eye out, probably there'll be last minute deals closer to the date (here's hoping anyway).

Thanks for the offer, I'll keep that in mind if I decided to go
Since we still have time until the lottery opens/ends, I'm gonna have to figure out if I can meet the budget by the end of this month I guess. And if I can't go... well, at least I've seen her live once!

Hi everyone!

I've just registered but I'm a long time occasional lurker. (I love "The Other Side of Lucy" from dillpops and Jerome, and also a long long time ago I contacted roxfan over IRC in order to get the Arjuna "Lost Tracks" songs).

I'm a huge Maaya fan, and this November I'm going to Japan for the first time (I'm from Brazil). I've just found out about the live tour and I'll be able to attend the first concert in Zama. I'm very excited but terrified since I have no idea how to get tickets!

Could you help me?

Is there a reason to wait until the end of the month to enter the lottery? What do you need to know before entering? How do they decide who gets tickets to where? There's 13 concerts. I would be happy to attend any one of them but of course the new years concert would be the best case scenario.

The lottery will help you secure a ticket very early, but you need to be a fan club member for that and it's a bit complicated from outside Japan cause you need an address there and to be able to a Japanese convenient store to pay.
Usually, there are gonna be other lotteries after where you will be able to pay with your credit card, and you will only have to retrieve your ticket in a convenient store in Japan a few days before the live.

It's just that it doesn't change anything to enter the lottery tomorrow (it hasn't started yet) or near the end of the entry period. I can request up to 4 tickets so if someone here wants to try to get a ticket, just tell me.
But I think I can only select one date and I'm planning to go on December 31.
