Event / Concert AKB48 Zenkoku Tour 2019 ～Tanoshii bakari ga AKB!～ (2019/07/07 - 2019/12/10)

Thank you. It's time to apply for Team K concert

Btw, what's the difference between 指定席 and 着席指定席 in Kawagoe, Saitama? I don't know what I have to choose lol

 

Thank you! I have to choose one of them or it will be by lottery?

 

You will choose on the application usually

 

Anyone have chosen between 指定席 and着席指定席 some time? I don't know which will be the best option in order to win a ticket lol

 

@TiduShoko There was something similar to this with the Group Spring Festival in Yokohama Stadium last April where there was the choice between selecting a reserved floor seat or being able to roam freely and sit anywhere in the tiered seating. I was able to select first and second preferences, I chose reserved floor seating as my first choice as it was nearer the main stage but I ended up with my second choice (although the tiered seating turned out fine!). Therefore as long as you can select first and second preferences, and you make sure you select both of them, then hopefully that'll maximise your chances of winning something. (Also remember to select Team K as your favourite team in your Ticket Center account but I'm sure you've done that already!)

 

If there is a chance to roam and be closer to the stage, always pick that for the first choice.

 

The roaming at the Festival allowed you to be closer to the small stages but not the big one, however in the end that probably worked better for me! I’m not sure what the arrangements are for this tour? Normally there’s just one type of ticket with seating placement priority given to FC members.

 

I placed my order today, I think there will be 2 areas. The first one is reserved seating, the other one (presumeably on the second floor) is free seating on first come first serve basis.

 

No Yokoyui in Team K lineup ??

 

She has a stage play that overlaps the concert dates, I believe.

 

Just a little correction, her name is Kaoru not Karu. Thanks for updating it

 

You sure? Okay, let's see the wordings. I think it translated into:
指定席 --> reserved seat
着席指定席 --> designated reserved seat
And they go further with: 着席指定席は必ず座ってのご観覧をお願い致します。万が一お立ちになられた場合、公演を中断する場合がございますので、予めご了承ください。
--> For designated reserved seat please make sure to sit. Please be aware that in the event that you stand up, the performance may be interrupted.
Another unusual thing is they put the family application on a different tab from the normal ones.

After checking the venue website, I think I get the idea:
- Saitama
https://www.westa-kawagoe.jp/facility/seat.html
Most probably the setting will have extended side stages, with orchestra pit used for the audience (tab number 3 on the facility map).
Therefore I conclude, designated reserved seat is the area in the orchestra pit and possibly in front of the side stages. It will have the best view, but people are not allowed to stand like they usually do in other concerts.

- Kanagawa

From the pictures, I think the hall does not have an orchestra pit. Hence nothing unusual on the application tab.

So yeah, I agree with the correction. It is most probably the seating area. (I'd much prefer to sit right in front of the stage tho. lol...)

 

In case you were curious who's not attending the concert;

• Team A: Iriyama Anna and Goto Moe (the latter has announced graduation already)
• Team 8: Ito Kirara, Okumoto Hinano, Takahashi Ayane, Takahashi Sayaka, Shimizu Maria, Hattori Yuna, Honda Hitomi, Mitomo Mashiro, Fujizono Rei, Rissen Airi, Yamamoto Ruka, Yokoyama Yui
• AKB Kenkyuusei: everyone (except Sato Minami)

Ito Kirara, Mitomo Mashiro, Fujizono Rei and Rissen Airi are not part of any of the other teams 'cause they joined after the 12th Anniversary Shuffle, and Honda Hitomi is part of IZ*ONE as you're all surely aware.

 

I kind of expect the kenkyuusei to perform as backdancers or otherwise appear with their teams, even though they aren't listed on the roster.

 

Uh, what. They didn't list the performers by name for the January Team Concerts, but most of the KKS did perform.

Team A needs her to have the minimum 16 members.
