"Gackt Live Tour 2008-2009 Requiem et Reminiscence II ~Rebirth and Chance Meeting~" Ticket Related Advisory

Thank you for always supporting Gackt. The first national tour in three years has been decided, and Official Fanclub Dears priority reservations have been carried out. The premium seats that are being introduced for the first time here, is not only to offer the experience of being close to Gackt, but also a reciprocal favor for everyone of Dears who have always warmly cheered for and sent power (to Gackt). However, in spite of our repeated warning and appeals to the contrary, it has been confirmed that resale of these tickets have been conducted. Regarding this fact, Gackt is extremely saddened and disappointed.

Dears members who have been selected for the premium seat will be required to provide photo identification for identity validation at the venue. Only the selected member him/herself will be granted admission and seating. Those who cannot confirm their identity as a selected member at the time of entrance or within the venue will be declined entry and requested to leave the venue.

In addition, the resale of tickets is not only causing troubles, but is in violation of our regulations. Please never purchase tickets from the internet, auctions, or ticket scalpers etc. Please be informed in advance that Dears will not be responsible for any trouble arising from this situation.

We hope that everyone will act accordingly with good sense.

lol wait a min... They are actually SELLING their premium tickets? *facepalms*
I didn't know someone could be that crazy!

I had to convince my friend to call for 3845645 tickets for friends because of this issue though, he was afraid I was gonna sell all my extra tickets 0o

Well if you imagine the insane prices people would be willing to pay for premium tickets (including myself *cries*) it's not so crazy anymore ;)
I just pity those who unknowingly bought a ticket from a resale and won't be able to enter the venue :(

Yeah, from that viewpoint, I understand. But then the other viewpoint tells me, if you're a somewhat dedicated Gackt fan and are truly interested into going to his concerts, I assume people know about the premium and regular ticket issue.

The ticket info is pretty much all over the place now, so i can't imagine (especially people in japan) to not realize that premiums are for dears.

But indeed, it is truly a pity, I can't imagine what I'd do if I knew I had a ticket and would be rejected at a venue for something I might really not have known about!

Mhm yes it indeed is hard to imagine that people who would shell out such a huge amount of money for a Gackt concert wouldn't be well-informed. But apparently it has happened...

I think though that the Dears who sold the premium tickets are at fault the most since clearly they know that they can't sell the tickets without them becoming invalid.

This is exactly why I was so surprised! It makes me wonder why they are actually a DEAR, if the original wonderful value of the ticket isn't enough for them D=
It's such a shame towards Gackt and the one who bought it.

*nods* It's a pretty mean thing to do. Gackt should post a message like this like with the Kenshin kousai; Sell them or you will be beheaded! XD
