Hope I didn't complicate things for anyone.  I don't know what else it would translate as, though, and for other lotteries they have acceptance periods as well. 

 

This ticket buying service (which unfortunately can't help with figure skating tickets) explains how lotteries usually run:

 

http://www.japanconcerttickets.com/howto/sales-phases/

"Applying in a public lottery is usually free and you can (but don’t have to) purchase the tickets if you win in the lottery. Only if you selected an automatic payment method such as credit card, the tickets will be purchased the moment the lottery result is decided within the system."

 

Goodluck to everyone!

Ah, that actually says, if it's credit card, the tickets will be purchased instantly. So for us it's automatic ^_^

Simple enough!

 

Win or lose, this is all good practice for future competitions!

Oh thank goodness! I was praying so hard for this. Thank you for finding it! 

 

They really make you work for tickets, don't they? I almost feel like it would be easier to become a top level skater and participate instead! 

 

Good luck to you both @KatjaThera @SSS! I won't know until Monday so I have two more days of perpetual heart palpitations to get through.

I have been living like a Victorian urchin all year for this. I have spent money exactly once on non-life sustaining activities. This obsession has been really good for my finances  (and yet I still haven't saved quite enough for flights and accommodation  but I will sleep in a manga cafe if need be!)

Is it also open for paper tickets bought from overseas?

As far as I can tell from a quick reading it's open for paper tickets, however the paper tickets need to be sent to the company in advance. Also, if I understand correctly, all tickets will become electronic tickets. And there's some other weird stuff that I hope I'm misunderstanding, because it's stupid. I'll give it a more proper look when I get home and ask for second opinions.

Haven't read it yet...because of GPF ticket today...

Anyone has PIA ticket lottery experience before? Since the result will be announced today, I checked the PIA website just to be sure but it said I don't have application history. I have the email they sent me right after I finished the application procedure tho.
