And it's a very low risk proposition for them. At the very least they can get their money back. And at best they get to double/triple/quadruple the money they put in easily. Ig for some it's a no-brainer business proposition 😩😡

And they clog up the traffic on the ticketing websites too. You want to be angry at them but at the same time you realise it's just futile Ig there are just that many people who put the time and effort into this. I wouldn't be surprised of there are hordes of people who just hold accounts on ticket websites to capitalize on opportunities like this 😣

Yeah I can believe it about the bots. Sigh. Scalping is really a big thing in Japan isn't it? Made their whole ticketing system so convoluted as well in response.

Huh? Howd that happen? So difficult to get tickets and yet so many were put up for resale?

That was... fast....

Read some news some time back that Japan will be clamping down on illegal ticket resale in preparation for the Tokyo 2020 Olys. Ig that's why

1 second I guess? At least that's how quickly the ticket website usually crashes from the general sales I've tried to participate in. But try to refresh for about an hour after sales start though. Some tickets from people's shopping carts get released if their payments don't go through for example.

HAPPY 🌈 HAPPY NEW YEAR 💮🌸 EVERYONE!!! I'm so thankful for being part of this wonderful community It's been another amazing year with you guys 🌟 Wish us all a 2019 full of good cheer and happiness And that all our wishes of good health and happiness for YUZU in turn be fulfilled this year and always 💗🌈 YUZU GANBAAA!!!🥇Wish you achieve all your dreams and goals forever!! 🍀✨

Last year my credit card wouldn't go through ☹️ Not sure if it'll be the same situation this year.

Haha yes, maybe they should have a year where all shows would be in Sendai. Fanyus would come in droves every week ☺️

Yes, it would be so strange not to have him there. I wad thinking about going to the Sendai show too, esp since I still haven't made a pilgrimage to Ice Rink Sendai like a good fanyu should lol. But then, it seems everyone has the same plan. Maybe they should have the show there for 2 weekends instead of just one 😅

Hmm the show doesn't usually stop at Sendai, so I really haven't seen what the ticket situation there is really like. But based on what I'm reading online, many people are already planning to go there. So I expect it will be a big, big fight for the tickets. Kobe has always been hard to get tickets to and has always been a bloodbath lol. Last year ticket sales for some of the stops started even before Yuzu announced his participation. For Makuhari for example people bought tickets before they really knew if Yuzu was coming, so it was a risk. But it paid off in the end for them. Once Yuzu confirmed his attendance though, well... That said, there were stops like Niigata where it wasn't as difficult to get tickets to last year. I think there were even still tickets left over few days before the shows? Maybe Toyama will be the easiest this year? Haven't been there though so I'm not really sure. It depends a lot on the accessibility of the city and ease of getting there from major cities. Bottomline I think is you just have to try for tickets for as many stops as you can. I feel like people aren't gonna waver on buying tickets this time around, and will probably not wait for Yuzu to announce his attendance before snapping up seats. Especially for the Sendai stop. The sales for the various stops don't happen all at the same time anyway, so you can focus on one show at a time, and try for the next one if you don't get lucky with your first try.

Ticket sales and details will be announced on the FaOI website https://www.fantasy-on-ice.com Tickets aren't on sale yet, but just stay tuned to this thread and I'm sure someone will post info as soon as sales are announced. Tickets are usually sold on the Lawson, pia, 7-11, eplus, rakuten, etc. ticketing websites. Links to the ticket selling sites will be provided with the announcement, so no worries about having difficulty finding them yourself when the time comes 🙂

It will be on sale separately. Crossing fingers international fans will be able to purchase them too.

MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL!!! 😊🎄
