"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.

Well, surprise is I'm an Europian girl myself (Netherlands!) but thankfully my Japanese skills have improved lots and my friend helped me out in joining Dears.
It's true you possibly can't know when regular sales start, NO ONE knows XD I guess it's best to keep an eye on Gackt's official sites.

It's such a pity though, it might have been an idea for you to post a request if a Dear wanted to buy a ticket for you, it might have been easier.
Unfortunately, calling in for tix ended this sunday so you'll have wait =(

It's good you have a friend in Tokyo though, so you won't have to turn to horrid auctions!

Sigh. I don't know any Japanese and I'm new to the Gackt laws of life. I only became interested in Gackt because, in one of his old blond phases, he looks so like Sanzo in the Saiyuki manga, and then I found one of his CDs in a secondhand shop in Hong Kong last December and - zap! - his music talent hooked itself into my brain and wouldn't let go!

Thanks for your advice. I don't know any other fans (would be shy about asking someone I don't know to buy something for me - they wouldn't know if they could trust me over the money or anything) and my cute friend in Tokyo sings in a classical choir and thinks I'm just crazy to be chasing over the world for a J-rock musician! Cos of work diaries, I'm hoping to get to one of the laster Kyushu concerts (e.g. Miyazaki or Kagoshima); hope Gackt can stay strong till the end of his tour! (well, and stay strong after, of course)

I will look at the Gackt site, as well as the Lawson Ticket one, but I can't read the Japanese so I really dunno what I'm staring at! If one of the bilingual watchers posts in English here or to dears LJ, then I do stand a chance. Hoping so anyway!

Impressive that you managed to join real Dears from Europe and can tackle the Japanese. Good for you - that's showing a lot of commitment. Thanks for sharing the benefit here for us.

We did more than one post in the community (for members only) about facilitating ticket sales, and members did help each other out, if you need help getting tickets contact me directly at my email address.

Well, I am not at all saying my Japanese is perfect, but all I know I learnt on my own, and I can't say it's an easy task to do so.
Haha, I can imagine it didn't take long for him to take over your mind! He did the same to me with just one song. Changed many things for me once that started.

Now I saw Karadin's comment, I totally forgot about that!
Also I'm sure if it comes down to it some will get sold maybe on Livejournal, I've had someone who already had to sell their tickets, so keep your eyes open!
Haha, well, I wouldn't say you're crazy. Gackt is an exceptional artist, I'd say it's more than worth it traveling to Japan to experience him live.
Pity you're not going for Okinawa, I won't have time to go to the Kyushu concerts! It seems those tickets are easier to get though, so you might get really lucky with those =)

Im sure the English version of the Gackt site may be updated, but there's always LJ! GA And pixiezdust will definitly beat me to posting it, I think.

I think, this is the best complement put in words I have gotten as a Gackt fan from anyone, so thank you very much!
I'm crossing my fingers and toes for luck with your tickets!

Hmm - if you're pleased with my compliment, you've only yourself to thank cos you earned it.

The amount of knowledge and dedication shown by the English language fanbase is really impressive. Everyone has so much energy here - my other fandom is much more slow-moving! Need to whisper in case they're listening

Okinawa? Is that where you're going to the concert? I got confused when I looked at the map: couldn't tell where in Okinawa (Naha?) the concert hall is. Of course, Okinawa would be wonderful because it's Gackt's home turf. I'm pleased that you think I might stand more chance with Kyushsu; I'll be happy with anything, I think.

You're right: Gackt is an exceptional artist. This is the justification for my craziness! I didn't choose to be crazy but at least I can devote my craziness to a worthwhile cause.

Thanks for your encouragement. I appreciate the interest from someone with more experience and knowledge.
