I’m on mixi. And on one of the Morning Musume communities I saw the announcement for the September Hello Pro Wota karaoke signed up to go. Now I fit in as a normal part of the group. I might have to move to Tokyo if I can’t find another job in my area, so I’d be sad to leave the group. Though the bus from Tokyo to Nagoya isn’t that expensive so I could probably manage to come down for some weekends.

Have you tried buying tickets through general sale? Or joining the fanclub?
Also Yahoo Auctions and http://www.ticket.co.jp often have better and cheaper tickets than going to actual store resellers.

@liz. $1,000 was for pretty much the best ticket you could possibly get. Most seats are nowhere near that expensive. I buy tickets in various places, but mostly Yokohama ticket machi in Saitama or Ueno.

Whenever I go, I just sit in the nose bleed section, but I don’t buy until the day of. Where do you buy advance tickets?

I’ve learned that most of the wota are completely normal people, we just spend way too much money on one habit X_x

Due to work circumstances i couldn’t buy much, but I usually buy the member betsu set and lots of other things totaling about 30,000 yen. And to think two years ago at Yossi’s grad concert (well the afternoon one that I could get tickets to) I was still a student and only able to buy one Yossi pick off of a fellow concert goer.

Can’t believe you paid so much for 11th row though. I just sold my 9th row FC tickets for the Osaka last show for under retail price, as with that far back in the wota community you can’t normally get full, so let them go for 5,000 each.
