Seeing AKB48 Shows (TOC at first post)

so who falls under the "far-off" category?
a few theater performances are available for "far-off" about 3 weeks prior.

 

Paid for membership - still not able to apply.

Isn't far-off = enpou? Still it is a separate category from Overseas.

 

So the question now is (Being easily spotted: Read token white guy), if you were to use an internal Japanese address, you would get rejected from theater even if you won, and I would obviously gather that creating a secondary account is ban. Also doing the right thing, means that I am now unable to change from overseas to Japanese for many more months, due to the fix I made to my details weeks ago...

* You can not modify your residence (Japan/Overseas) for 6 months from the date of change.
　It is possible to modify it from 1/5,2018.

 

Why would they reject u from the theater just because you use a Japanese address..? Are you implying white people don't live in Japan? lol.
Also I don't believe making a secondary account is ban-able as long you aren't using it simultaneously. It's not like you are actually increasing your chance of winning. From what I've heard so far with the whole International ticket center account complaints, I'm left to believe that just as usual they've introduced something that they're half ass-ing.

Anyway, theater staffs are long used to dealing with fans overseas all the time coming to theater with a Japanese address when they clearly do not live in Japan. Being denied by the theater staff would prolli be the last of ur worries when it comes to watching a theater show lol.

 

So since there's no overseas tickets, i'm planning to use my relatives address in Yokohama, does that mean i wait for ippan tickets like any local japanese? or am i far off because of the origin of the passport i sign with?

 

Thanks for writing this up. Currently waiting for the application period of Team 8 stage on Monday.
One thing, I did not need to write my name on Katakana, though I have to change the keyboard setting for writing address between half-width and full-width.

 

Hello, sorry if this is a stupid question, but I didn't see the answer on the first page (so sorry if I have missed it somehow) and I need to know, how early before the show starts should you arrive at the venue to buy the tickets and all of that? I'm looking at 18:30 performances but I am have classes until 16:30 pretty much every day and it would take another 30 minutes (possibly a few minutes before, depending on how lucky I am with trains). Would arriving about 1.5 hour or slightly less before the show be enough?

 

your registered address is the one that counts

1.5hrs is enough

 

Thank you for your replies. Yes, I was referring to theater shows, but forgot to mention it. Good to know that 1-1.5 hours should be more than enough, I was worried it would be like 2 hours or something

 

Sorry for double post, but since it's been almost a week and not directly related to my previous question, I believe it's ok (if not, I'm really sorry). I was wondering if anyone knows if it's better to apply for ladies ticket or general ticket? I'm specifically talking about the AKB theater, although it's probably similar in other ones as well. I know ladies ticket has the benefit of having a guaranteed seat if you get it, whereas a general ticket depends on your number, so you might get a bad seat or even just standing place. But I'm wondering which one gives you a better chance to win?

 

I would suggest taking the ladies ticket because I think the price is lower for women than men so you would be sure to not be over charged!But I don't know if you have better chances!

 

Can't you apply for both categories?

 

Hello guys !

I will go to Tokyo from April 18th to April 24th the next year 2018.

I would want to see AKB48 in their theater in the Don Quijote building.

But, I am disabled and I am on a wheelchair !

Fortunately, I found a forum especially for the disabled who want to go to Japan like me !

'Accessible Japan' is the name of this very usefull forum !

I suppose that you know it guys !

I asked them for the accessibility in the Don Quijote building.

And yes !

They explained me a lot of thing that I didn't know !

In the back entrance of the Don Quijote, there is an elevator that I can take.

The staff in the Don Quijote can help me to reach the 8th floor.

' Accessible Japan' explained me also that I will can be in the theater iself WITH my wheelchair !

So, for the accessibility, it is ok !

But, it remains me a little question...

I know since very recently to get a ticket, it is necessary to pass by the lotery system for it.

And so, here is my question :

How to do to book, without passing by the lotery system (if it is possible) ?

I would like to attend a Team B performance if possible for three people (me, my dad and my mum).

Is there an AKB48 staff email address ?

Guys, do you know an email address of AKB48 staff where I would can ask them the question ?

Thank you so much ! ^^

See you soon !

 

Check out this thread http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?threads/seeing-akb48-shows-toc-at-first-post.2765/ to learn more about applying for kouen.

Emailing akb staff in english probably won't get you very far. Best way is to ask here in q&a thread or something.
