I submitted 10 applications for the NHK lottery, and none is a hit  (not a big surprise really...). 

 

One thing about the names (both Kanji and Katakana):

You will be asked to key in the names onto the ticket machine in Lawson.

Make sure the names you chose is...key-able.

Or else it is going to be VERY troublesome if you can't find the characters on the machine.

 

I heard that you can fake names and just pray they won't check (think they hardly do...) .

 

 

 

 

 

Yikes. Does the roman alphabet work on the machines? Maybe katakana is better after all?

 

(Some jerks are already trying to sell S category SP tickets for over 1200)

 

ETA

They can say you can pass tickets on to friends if you can't use them and imply that selling them for face value is okay. How would they prove you didn't just get it from a friend even if it's not your name on the ticket? I've been entering under names of family members so at least surname will match.

I would say Japanese characters will be the safest, but not sure about roman alphabets.

Better safe than sorry (when it comes to any competition yuzu is in)

 

Just wow! Where are they selling the tickets for $1200?

Wow. You can get tickets for the whole of Worlds with the best seats for that money! 

I really admire Yuzuru Hanyu, but if I paid that for a single session at a GP, I think I would consider getting myself to a shrink at the same time. ;-)

I'm still waiting to hear my results. Now I know why they release them on a Saturday. Today is already the least productive of my life.

Because I entered through travel agencies who don't work on weekends and I have to wait to hear back from them. Still waiting. 

Stumbled upon this... wow, those jacked up prices...

Yup. I hate these people. They enter lotteries just to sell tickets. Good luck to them in selling it for that much, though!  Can get tickets, flights, and accommodation in Milan for that much!

Just heard that 2 out of 3 of my entries were unsuccessful.  I will know the results of the 3rd one tomorrow but just to be sure please make space in the mass bunny grave for me, too.
