Girls' Generation Arena Tour 2013

Hello Guys,

My name is Diego and I'm from Italy.
I was looking for help and I've found this beautiful web-site.
I will be in Japan at the beginning of April for a couple of weeks and I have found out that one of my favourite K-Pop groups (Girls' Generation) will have several concert during that period in Japan.
I saw that on April 4th and 5th they will be in Saitama and on the 9th-10th in Nagoya.
I tried to contact several ticket agents like FDJP, Ryoko Donya, Celga, JE Goods, but the reply was always the same: Until now for this tour only e-tickets have been sold and they can help only with regular "paper" tickets.
Do you know if near the concert date they will sell also regular tickets (for example through Ticket Pia, Lawson, etc...)?
I have searched a little bit and found out the the e-tickets are sold by ticket board ( portal.tickebo.jp/pc/1212-gg11/index.html ), but the application period was from December 12th till December 18th. Just in case they will start to sell again the e-tickets, do you know if foreigners can buy from this web-site or do you need a japanese mobile phone?
Any other ideas on how to get the tickets are more than welcome.

Thanks in advance for your help

Diego

Hi everyone!

I'm in the exact same situation as Diego.

Except I'm traveling from Australia to Japan at the same time and would love to know how I can get tickets.

Cheers,

Tim

Hi Tim,

I have bought a FC e-ticket for the April 5th concert in Saitama via Yahoo Auction Japan (via a middle man).
The tickets will be available for download 3 days/1 week before the concert (it's a QR code)and you need to subscribe to portal.tickebo.jp/pc/en/about-tb/member.html . (It's free).
You need a smartphone able to save pictures. (Check the web-site for the FAQ)
The seating plan is still undecided.
There is a side risk though: if the security will perform a ID check (in case of FC tickets) you might not be able to join the concert. But I wanted to go so badly that I tried anyway.

If you need more infos just let me know.

Hi Dipe

So is that a fan club member only ticket?

Hi,

I have bought a FC ticket, but maybe in the future there will be a regular sale. I hope to not have issue (started to pray :-)

PM sent.
