How to get L'arc~en~ciel concert tickets

I have saw several people ask how you can buy concert tickets when you don't live in Japan or speak Japanese believe it or not its rather easy you just better be prepared to spend a lot of money.

Its almost impossible for foreigners to get tickets at their normal price unless you are lucky enough to have a friend that lives in Japan that is willing to buy the tickets for you.

If you are like the rest of us you probably don't have this option or else you wouldn't be wondering how to get tickets in the first place but don't worry they are ways to get them.

The first option is Yahoo Japan auction this is like Japan's ebay you can usually always find tickets on here but most sellers do not ship outside of Japan. You can still get tickets from here though but you have to use a bidding service such as www.celga.com they will bid on the tickets for you and then ship them to you once you have won the bid. However be prepared to pay a commission fee.

Next option is ticket.co.jp prices are usually extremely high but maybe not as bad as an auction plus there is no bidding involved so you are guaranteed the ticket. But like the auctions most sellers won't ship outside of Japan so you will still need to use a service like celga.com.

Your last option is to use a buying service such as www.fdjp.com they find the tickets for you, purchase them and ship them to you this is the easiest way to get tickets but also the most expensive because they charge about a 30% commission free.

With these websites and about $1000 dollars in your pocket your well on your way to purchasing l'arc tickets!

Tracy, it's been a while, like possibly years since I've posted to blogger. I just commented twice but I can't remember whether or not I can post something.

BTW, why did you move fangirlhaven to here?

Hi Tracy, I was just wondering, what if I do live in Japan but am very new to both the Japanese language and the concert scene? I know tickets go on sale on December 1st, but if I bumble through my own way, I doubt I will be able to get any tickets. Do you have any hints? Unfortunately, my Japanese friends aren't really into lives so they aren't familiar with the process either. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks!
