Ordering concert tickets

[Gacktpause]

Hi, I'm going to be in Japan for the month of March, and really want to see a Gackt live concert in Yamaguchi.
The tickets aren't for sale online, but I'm confident enough in my Japanese that I think I can call the ticket broker and order on the phone... I have an address in Japan they can be sent to.
Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? :-S

Do you mean you have someone who can buy the ticket?

If yes, it is worth calling the ticket agency above at the designated time tomorrow (JPN time).

My favorite band sold their tickets to as many fans as possible after their performance started to kill ticketing touts. So I could enjoy the gigs as long as I stayed patient.

But in case with your Gackt, a stupid tout was arrested for trying to sell a sky-rocketing ticket to a female cop. (Ticket touting is officially illegal here)

It is all up to you if you buy the expensive ticket, but Yahoo auction may be a good way for you to know Gackt's market price.

Thanks for your reply.
I have a friend in Japan who is letting me have the tickets sent to her address...But I'm going to call and order them myself.
Thanks for posting the above info about the ticket agency. I called the information number on gackt's website and spoke to a guy who gave me another number to call.
What's the agency above? Do they just sell the tickets as well?

Thanks for your help!

The agency is Pia, probably the biggest ticket agency in Japan. I hope you got the ticket.

Sold out

On the other hand, his gig in Shimane on March 26 still seems available at least now.

When your itinerary is flexible, ask your friend to purchase it tonight soonest possible.

Thanks for your help-- I really appreciate the suggestions and information. It turns out none of the numbers I had (from the inquiry number and also from the websites) were available to call from overseas, so I couldn't get through. I think it may be possible to order the tickets from PIA online-- if you're a member.
I could also order from Lawson Tike, but the line was busy. Haha, fortunately it turns out that my friend WORKS at a Lawson, so she offered to get the tickets from the Loppi machine.

So I might be going to see Gackt after all! Pipokun, thanks again!
