I know that we don't have a lot of regulars in Japan on here, but some fans on Discord expressed interest in attending this tour. So, I decided to make this thread as a sort of "how to" guide.

As per usual, the first sets of tickets will be available via lottery. The first lottery, with the best tickets, will be available exclusively to members of the pillows' fanclub. Sequential lotteries will be available via the [url=http://pillows.jp/p/]official site[/url] and various ticket websites. The first-press edition of the Rebroadcast album will also contain a password that will enable you to entry a ticket lottery. After the lotteries, general ticket sales will start from sites such as [url=http://eplus.jp/sys/main.jsp]eplus[/url], [url=http://l-tike.com/]I-tike[/url], and [url=https://t.pia.jp/]Pia[/url]. I'll update this with lottery information as details become available.

[b]How do I get tickets if I'm outside of Japan?[/b]
To be honest, this is something that I don't have much experience with. Here's a pretty nice [url=https://idolisshit.com/2017/06/09/guide-want-go-concerts-japan/]guide from Idol Shit[/url] that recommends some ticket proxy services. "[url=http://www.bridge.jpn.com/]Bridge.JPN[/url]" is one of the sites recommended in the guide.
If you have contacts in Japan who can help you, that would be the easiest route.

The tour will start in November and will run until March.

(This thread will be under construction as I gather more information.)

Hey, thanks for this! I've been wanting to take a vacation to Japan for while, but was always wondering, "How the heck do I buy concert tickets?"

Hopefully I can actually plan this out and make it to a November or December tour date.

BTW - hello, after like 10 years of not being on this forum.

Updated the original post with information about entering the ticket lottery with the code from REBROADCAST.

Thanks for taking the time to make this, Mafu!

I won't be in Japan again until next year, but man, this looks like a great time. Totally gonna snatch the Blu Ray of this tour.

Reminder for anyone entering the Rebroadcast album loterry:
The deadline for entry for the first set of shows is [b]tomorrow (9/26)[/b].

<sigh> I wished I checked the forum before ordering my CD...it left Chiba last week on the slow plane to Cali.

Does anyone know how difficult it might be to get tix when the general sale opens up*? I've been wanting to visit Japan for a bit but my original plans for October didn't work out due to work. An awesome consolation prize (/better trip) would be to see the pillows live in Japan.

*(I'm looking at the Shibuya show, if that matters, but hope to still be visiting during the Nagoya or Osaka shows in case those might be easier to snag.)

Shibuya, Osaka, and Nagoya aren't the largest venues, so if you're gonna go for the general sales, I'd be ready to try to get tickets the second they go on sale. Since general sales is the last stage of ticket sales, they tend to sell out very fast and the sites will probably be hammered.

Before general sales, there should be a couple more ticket lotteries that will be opened to anyone, like the official homepage lottery. I'll update the thread with info about those when it's announced, so be sure to check back often.

Edit: The official homepage was updated while I was writing this.

General sales for the group A shows has started. Most of the tour dates are already sold out. Be sure to check each ticket site, because each site has a certain amount of tickets.

The fanclub ticket lottery for group B starts today.
