The Gazette: Have you ever been in to one of their concerts in Japan? 10 points?

Question:

I have a friend who is from spain and he will go to Japan to see the gazette in concert
but he wants to be at first row
what he can do to be at first row?
First row tickets are expensive?
Someone who can give information of how these things work in japan (about buying tickets)
thank you

Answer:

All concert tickets in Japan are expensive in comparison to other countries. This is mainly due to 2 things: Japanese have limited concert halls and Japanese concert goers are willing to pay more

Getting a seat in the first row is kind of impossible to get. They usually are reserved for the band or the promoters (who use them as gifts or to promote the show) and if by chance a few of those seats are available for sale you would need to be the very first in line to grab them

Do consider though that going from Spain to Japan to watch a concert will be VERY expensive. Ticket ($) + Tokyo transportation + hotel + meals + concert tickets + + + could easily add up to more than $2500 (or 2000 Euro).

I also checked http://eventful.com/performers/the-gazet… and they list no events for them in 2011

More details about their concerts and record releases (taken from wikipedia):

Right after the release of Shiver, the band announced the final stop of the Tour 10 Nameless Liberty Six Bullets would be held at Tokyo Dome, and two new singles Red and Pledge would be released.

On March 2011, the band embarked on an fanclub only tour named Live Tour 11 (Two Concept Eight Nights -ABYSS/LUCY-) and 9th Birth (Day 9 -NINE-) at Zepp Tokyo in March 10. On March 23, The Gazette released a compilation album titled Traces Best of 2005-2009 and a live concert DVD named The Nameless Liberty at 10.12.26 Tokyo Dome.

The Gazette has postponed the releases of their best-of album Traces Best of 2005-2009 and live DVD The Nameless Liberty at 10.12.26 Tokyo Dome which contains footage of their final concert at Tokyo Dome due to the catastrophe in Japan. Both will be released on April 6th.

On April 6th, 2011, they announced another single Vortex which would be released on May 25, 2011
