thanks everyone for the NHK info, super helpful, also super sad that tickets went so fast...so does that mean we'll have to wait for re-sale now?

 

Lottery for single day tickets is still open I think until 1st September? 

Then there may be a general sale for Japanese fans in September if there are any tickets left.

After that then resale will be our only hope.

 

Pray to Seimei!

thanks. do you know when they will be announcing the single day results? time to contact everyone i know in japan!

I believe the results will be released on 9/9 18:00 JST.

Same day as the oversea ticket sales for GPF Nagoya . 

 

Updates:

Ticket Pia will announce their lottery results on  2017年09月09日(土) 18:00頃(予定)

I-tike will announce their lottery results on 2017/9/9(土)10:00 頃

 

It will definitely be a super 'exciting' day for people who are aiming for NHK or/& GPF tickets.

I booked one with no prepayment and no cancellation fee. 

 

 

The good thing is JTB haven't asked me for any money or even credit card info. Only if I win will I have to pay the booking fee they've asked for (I think. Again, my local JTB isn't so great with communication.) So it has so far cost me nothing to enter (but it will wipe me out if I win.)

I contacted the closest JTB too just to try and they said they couldn't do it for me. :(((

Seeing that the only payment method for the Lawson lottery is through credit card,

if I won the lottery, do they deduct the money (tickets+surcharges) from my credit card immediately?

Or do I get to decide whether I want the tickets or not before they deduct? 

 

I finally got my VPN working. now entering info for paper ticket...

Trying to get two for each day...hope to exchange hahaha...

If I am lucky, my card will be charged immediately???

same question, hug....

I heard Japanese card/name gave you higher chance...should I ask real Japanese people to do it for me  Just need to make sure name is the same but email/phone is different?

If I choose to pick it up in Lawson...do we have a deadline...phone is necessary for pick up

I don't think the type of card or name has anything to do with it, unless they pick you and say: oh, this one's a foreigner, let's pick someone else. And I doubt they would (though I guess you never know). (In my previous lottery experience, I participated in a lottery for Fan Club members tickets as I was a member of a Fan Club of one of the participating artists, and I actually emailed the Fan Club first like: "I'm a foreigner, but I'd like to join in the lottery..." And they were like: "of course, please join, especially if you'll be in Japan, then." And they did later have a sale for foreigners, too, so it wasn't the only way to get there. Bottom line is, I don't think the Japanese, generally, mind foreigners joining in, if they can. )

 

@SparkleSalad said there's an acceptance period, so I'm guessing it's only after that, if you don't refuse, that they charge the money.

 

As for picking up at Lawson, no idea. It's a gamble, in a way, but I don't see why they'd care when you pick up your ticket, as long as it's paid for. In my previous experience, the deadline was the day before the event, but that was a music festival and it was 711, not Lawson, so I'm not sure if it's the same.

the website said if pay by credit card, it will be charged immediately something like that... I read some tweets saying that it seems that more Japanese were lucky than foreigners to get tickets...

@SparkleSalad where are you~~~ please confirm~~if that's true...I need to find more people...

They said you even need to bring your phone...to be honest, if  I have my phone, it won't work in Japan...

is it late to email them questions?

My phone works in Japan - I was surprised by that last year - but I guess it depends on the carrier. But for some of the entries, I used my father's phone number, so... >_<

 

It's only natural there'd be more Japanese getting tickets than foreigners, since there will be more Japanese entering the lottery. Also, technically, the tickets reserved for foreigners are already sold out, so I think the assumption is that those foreigners entering the Japanese lottery are foreigners who live in Japan, which aren't that many. I don't know, really...

 

For now, I'd say let's hope we get the tickets and then we can worry about the rest... ^_^;
