It's so strange to be starting this thread already, but what can you do, the ice show ads are already popping up.

 

First list of skaters for Stars on Ice 2018 in Japan released!

 

Not sure where to post this but Ticketcamp is going to shut down from the 1st of June this year. Good news as it may perhaps mean that lotteries won't be entered by as many scalpers (although there's still Yahoo Auctions and ticket.co.jp), bad news because foreign fans are still locked out of official ticket-trading apps (not that Ticketcamp was possible to use without registering a Japanese mobile number but easier to get around than the apps.) 

 

 

ETA

There'a a new site operated by Pia, チケトレ which allows reselling only at face value (charges a 10% fee to both seller and buyer.) Still requires a Japanese mobile number to register as well as photo ID but you can buy physical tickets.
