Hey, do you know if the 3-day Fuji Rock passes have a per day ticket cap, or not? Thanks!
I'm not exactly sure what you mean.
There is a set price.
And there is a limited number of 3 day tickets, although the number hasn't been announced.
I doubt very much if there would be a per-day limit for 3-day tickets.
Oh, yeah, I guess I worded that wrong, didn't mean daily cap, meant ticket limit overall.
Is there an average time frame for when three-days sell out? Is it different for people buying the tickets overseas- are the tickets for us limited in some way?
i haven't heard of frf 3 day tickets selling out before.
they should be available at 39,800yen until june 7th.
tickets bought through ganban overseas are just japanese tickets, no different, so i don't think there would be separate limit.
you could email them to find out.

Do you know how to buy Summer Sonic tickets from overseas. The only info I can find on their website is in japanese. Thanks
Last year they had English info on the site. They allowed tickets to be bought from overseas but needed to be sent to an address in Japan. It doesn't seem like they'll offer that this year.
If you need help getting tickets, email me.

Hi - we have tried to order tickets from Pia or Fuji Rock - tricky as all in Japanese. Weirdly the camping tickets have now arrived but not the actual concert tickets - do you know if they are sending them separately or is that a mistake and should I be chasing them? Thanks!
did you oder tickets from pia in japanese?
ganban are selling them in english.
camping tickets are not sold seperately from concert tickets so i don't think you need to worry.
pia's website says the tickets will be sent from the end of june.
if you ordered them from ganban, you have to pick them up on the day of the festival from their store near the entrance.
Not many Japanese bands in these line-ups! Is it just because those that have been announced are the bigger names, or are Japanese bands really underrepresented in Summer Sonic and Fuji Rock?
You're right. Just the main acts have been announced. Lots more Japanese acts will be added later.
FLOWER TRAVELLIN' BAND came back from a trip！
