a concert, a dream

Around this time, KinKi Kids and SMAP hold their concert tour until near the end of year. As for KinKi fans, the most wanted event, in this year, will be the most most wanted event.

Since Johnny's concert are meant for Fan Club member, officially, so how overseas fans can attend the concert?
There's some ways...

Beside getting it through online ticket such as

http://www.fdjp.com/ (http://www.paw.hi-ho.ne.jp/a2cma/fdjpforticketorder.html)

but the price cost a fortune @_@
There's some fans that can get a help from friends and fellow fans, or just by try the luck on the concert day!

My 3 fellow smappies were just really blessed of luck for getting the concert ticket last time. One smappy get a help from her friend in Tokyo, so the other two have to try their luck by standing in front of Tokyo Dome and held a sign-board saying (in Japanese of course) that they need two tickets in any seats. Actually, they're just following what others did^^
The funny thing is, according to them, there's some people who passed them several times before decided to finally offered them the tickets, the two tickets. They paid ¥9000 for each ticket. Official ticket fee is ¥8500 (incl. tax). I say, they're really lucky!
With the same method, they tried again the next day, and got better seats.. just before they tried for one more ticket but kicked away by the police xD
They also easily got the goodies, since the booth were opened even when there's no concert, so no long queue.

About the official Johnny's shop, that selling Johnny's stuff. How to get there? This girl kindly shared her experience and full detail info about it, with photos and details xD

Wish to all who willing to go to SMAP or KinKi concert, a good luck~! *wink to someone*

Johnny's concerts are indeed really difficult to go to...
They have now started an ticket site in English, though:
Jticket

I've been working also on a comprehensive guide to how to buy tickets for Japanese concerts, and I also offer help with buying tickets at the lowest possible price.
