Tokkis Fan Meet

[halcyon venture]

…

[plush glade]

Ok so nothing new in that notice other than the confusing part where the English doesn't make sense.

Not long now.

I guess we wait for the link to appear in that notice (https://weverse.io/newjeansofficial/notice/18552) OR wait for the link to update for "ticket order" on this website: https://www2.hipjpn.co.jp/live/newjeans2024/en.html

[golden sequoia]

yeah same thing

good luck

[honest tapir]

are you still applying renz

[golden sequoia]

i think ill try for the premium seats....

[honest tapir]

wow the membership page in weverse is better now

[plush glade]

website or app?

havent looked myself

[honest tapir]

app

[plush glade]

oh yeah and you can save it for if you dont ahve internet

[honest tapir]

have you paid yet

for the SS tix

[golden sequoia]

yeah i had too

had to pay by tomorrow 4/9 so i paid it yesterday

https://tenor.com/view/broke-no-cash-gif-25565154

[honest tapir]

was there a machine or did you pay at the counter

[golden sequoia]

had to go to the counter

show the qr code to the cashier and pay

[plush glade]

lol I even googled " Perilication od" and got no results

[honest tapir]

30 mins

then i can get on w my day

[plush glade]

then i can sleep

[ruby scroll]

this one is also a raffle too right

[plush glade]

the kr ver of the notice says they'll add the link to the notice after 12pm kst

[prime sandal]

think i just found the link

[plush glade]

i feel like their english translators for these notices for this and previous comeback announcement need some extra help lol

[plush glade]

where did you get the link from?

[prime sandal]

https://weverse.io/newjeansofficial/notice/18552

[plush glade]

oh they JUST added that

[prime sandal]

seems so

[plush glade]

well good to know where to go!

hope the website doesnt explode

i assume a lot more traffic then last time for jp only

hard to tell if more jp people will go in total or more non-jp

could go either way tbh

jp because it's their home country. gl because there's a larger population.

who knows

[honest tapir]

i think this is the same process for music show applications

and fansigns

so you'll see results on the wv app

[plush glade]

i havent done that before but yeah seems like this is through weverse, not the jp ticket website like last time

[honest tapir]

wait so GL results out on 26th

non-fanclub raffle starts on 17th

[plush glade]

btw dont open that link in a new tab, it doesnt work the same as if you just click it normally

[honest tapir]

so we can apply there too

[plush glade]

no clue mel. i really wish i understood wtf they're talking about.

i think that might be the "pia raffle"

but wait that starts on the 13th

so this thing that starts on the 17th is ANOTHER option???

[honest tapir]

the sched on HIP site isnt aligned with weverse notice

[plush glade]

wouldnt be surprised if there is some error on that notice

i dont trust it to be accurate

omfg i'm so sleepy

need to not make mistake when filling out forms

[astral arrow]

this process is hell

[golden sequoia]

[honest tapir]

the one in pins? i think GL will be much simpler

[gritty rivet]

[plucky pendant]

nope, im just being curious lol

[mellow sierra]

u and me both

[astral arrow]

[halcyon venture]

so I can sign up right now with no repercussions

[mellow sierra]

"※All tickets will be issued as paper tickets. Please make sure to read the instructions on where and how to get your tickets in advance."
do we global peeps just print ours out?

[honest tapir]

idk, maybe you have to claim it in a 7/11 in japan before the concert

they do this in other countries like taiwan and you can do it day of

[mellow sierra]

as long as i can do it day of

[astral arrow]

imagine losing your ticket

[plush glade]

lol i scanned the qr code thing and it just says verified

any clue what that is

[honest tapir]

schedule

raffle sign up

[mellow sierra]

the results of the raffle sign out comes out on 4/17?

[plush glade]

this is the longest tease ever

[honest tapir]

no you apply to the raffle on 17

[mellow sierra]

oh

[honest tapir]

today you apply to GET THE LINK to the raffle

[plush glade]

i assume everyone who signed up has the opportunity?

[mellow sierra]

gotcha, so theres only 1 raffle

idk why i thought there was a raffle for a raffle

[honest tapir]

yep so far... maybe more later

[mellow sierra]

joy

[plush glade]

maybe this is a secret raffle and some people dont get the email they think they will get

[mellow sierra]

this is good for my anxiety

[honest tapir]

this is bad for my anxiety

[plush glade]

nobody got email yet i assume

i just changed my notification settings on my phone to notify me of ALL emails lol

(before was just high priority ones)

[prime sandal]

if we're using gmail, would we need to do anything for that

[plush glade]

doubt it.

[mellow sierra]

what about icloud

[violet solstice]

How do you even access icloud email 💀

[prime sandal]

no clue

[mellow sierra]

The Mac and iPhone mail app

Or there’s a webpage. Wouldn’t recommend

[violet solstice]

O

I am pleb outlook app user

[mellow sierra]

Outlook gives me work flashbacks

[violet solstice]

[brisk pagoda]

did anyone notice that the JP membership was being used for the Ticket Pia one?

I can't even use my global ID number

[honest tapir]

?????

[cloud quest]

i dont have GL.

[brisk pagoda]

when I applied today it used my NB number

which is the starting ID number for JP membership

[honest tapir]

mine says global

[brisk pagoda]

same thing with mine

[honest tapir]

they both use NB as starting prefix

[brisk pagoda]

oh okay

I had to double check lmao

so we have to wait for announcement to see if we win the application through this, then we gotta pick seats on that april 26th...and apply again?

oh not 26 but 17

[fossil marsh]

damn really?

[honest tapir]

i think there's no win or lose from today, only sign up to get the link

the link for the 4/17 raffle

[brisk pagoda]

yeah

they just made sure you applied to get the link with your actual global membership

then the link for the actual raffle draw via PIA will be sent out to all GL members on the 17th

[plucky pendant]

can we still sign up

[honest tapir]

yes

everyone should sign up then decide if you wanna join the raffle later

at least you have the link

[golden sequoia]

[brisk pagoda]

yeah

but it looks like PIA will be the one handling the raffle draw for the GL applications

I wonder why though

[golden sequoia]

[plucky pendant]

@halcyon venture i dont think we can sell it, we need to show original IDs to get in

[halcyon venture]

sigh

[plucky pendant]

well i will just do it for fun

[brisk pagoda]

if the physical ticket itself just has a section number, row number, and seat number without your name. then you can sell it.

But if this is like the korean bunnies camp, then you will have your name included in it.

both my tickets for Bunnies Camp Korea had my name included.

[violet solstice]

What about for the 2nd ticket

[fossil marsh]

is it only for pre-orders tickets? so i can buy non-preorders ones?

[violet solstice]

if you buy 2

[brisk pagoda]

that's what I'm trying to imply, if you win 2 tickets via Japan raffle, it does not mean it will have your name. Because they did say you can bring a companion.

[violet solstice]

🙏

[brisk pagoda]

they won't be just making you win 2 ticket for the same day but you have your name on both tickets.

and I have never experienced that yet with JP concerts, so if they did that with this then it doesn't make sense.

also winners from the JP raffle, went to the 7-11 stores to pay. Will get their physical ticket on June 15th.

[fossil marsh]

ahh so if we buy a pre-order ticket we just gotta make sure to tag along with the person who won the raffle when entering then

[brisk pagoda]

they won't be asking for your name once you have the ticket, they will however ask for your information when you pick the ticket to make sure you are the one who bought and paid for it. Like a receipt, but once you get the ticket you good.

so this goes like - you win, they tell you what to do, go to store to pay for the ticket with your confirmation number you got from winning the raffle, they'll verify your ID with the name of the application. Once you paid, wait for the month they will print out the ticket. If you paid for 2, just bring your receipt. Print ticket, and go.

the 3 days for the JP winners had time to pay for their tickets, but they don't get it till June 15th.

so I do not think you will have a name on those tickets, because again I haven't encountered that before in Japan. In Korea, its different. You actually see your name on the physical ticket lol, and when they give the ticket to you via face pick up or even by mail. It will have your name.

[halcyon venture]

so i probably shouldnt apply..

[brisk pagoda]

you should

I just confirmed it with another JP winner, they paid for their winning application. They got a reference number to use to pick their physical tickets in 7/11 on June 15.

[halcyon venture]

cause if i were to win id just give it to someone else

but idk if thats okay

[honest tapir]

yes apply
everyone should sign up then decide if you wanna join the raffle later
at least you have the link

[brisk pagoda]

So that really tells me, there's no name on those tickets once you get them printed out

[halcyon venture]

oh i already applied for this first thing

im on mail list

[brisk pagoda]

well tim, if you do win and I still don't. sell it to me lol

and the gifts will be yours

coz I didn't win it with my own luck

[honest tapir]

get in line...

[brisk pagoda]

but actual merch on d-day is a different matter, and if there's like a membership line like last time...that's a different matter too lol.

[brisk pagoda]

[halcyon venture]

i just want merch

ok ill apply then

[brisk pagoda]

yeah apply once they send out the link

but reminder to every bunnies member, if you do apply and win...pay okay...DO NOT FORGET TO PAY and get your account banned for future applications.

[honest tapir]

might not be a problem for gl, since it said cc will automatically be charged by PIA if you win

[brisk pagoda]

true, but check cc if its up to date haha

[honest tapir]

haha

[brisk pagoda]

or make sure you got balance lmao

I will die laughing if you put your cc info but no money is in it when the payment happens.

[honest tapir]

if this was 55k in jamsil/sangam in korea with normal queuing and buying of seats i think i like my chances more

[brisk pagoda]

yeah in korea, its just all about your internet speed lol.

and then fast pick and buy, then done.

the amount of stress with jp concerts always puts me in a mood lol

[honest tapir]

this is valuable experience for the future

[brisk pagoda]

a matter of fact, resell in korea is also so much better lmao...even if the ticket will have your name.

the process is so easy too as long as you got the seat picked, but haven't paid for it. But you want to transfer to another person who will be buying it from you, but at this point it needs to be paid once the transfer happens haha.

[vital crystal]

i applied for the fan meeting in tokyo as a global member. it says i have applied but then it also says i have to apply on the Ticket Pia page.. but they didn't send me an email I don't know what next steps I should take? Will they send me an email on the 17th?

[plush glade]

Hopefully, yeah. We're all in the same boat.

[gritty rivet]

we coudlve just been sleeping ashy...

[plush glade]

Need to stay up until 4am again on the 17th.

[long veldt]

Is it okay to post other group concerts that are going on around the same time as New Jeans?

[gritty rivet]

i noticed we had switched time like a week ago, it was 5am and not 4am

Nearly woke up an hour too early

[plush glade]

Yeah stupid daylight savings. Changes on different weeks in US vs Europe and doesn't change in most of Asia. Confusing!

[prime sandal]

https://www2.hipjpn.co.jp/live/newjeans2024/news.html

[golden sequoia]

they be cracking down

[plush glade]

They still can't stop people privately getting people to be their "companion" can they? Like how would they be able to track that unless it's very obviously easy to find people's X post about it.

[cloud quest]

L.

[gritty rivet]

thats gonna be a long week

[brisk pagoda]

Lmao damn people made it so obvious that they were able to crack down the resale

[cloud quest]

so what will gonna happen now?

[brisk pagoda]

Well whoever sold through official sites will get their membership banned and will have their names officially be on the future ban list for applications

Even if you create a new account and buy another membership, you won’t be able to use your real name now because that will be blacklisted

This only works if they have caught you though lol

But I feel like, the only reason this is being watched is because of the popularity of newjeans.

[cloud quest]

but can you still buy the ticket and use it right?

[brisk pagoda]

People will benefit from newjeans so this resale will not stop regardless

[brisk pagoda]

Well again, I do cash face to face as to not get caught.

People doing online will get your accounts be watched so, I don’t usually do the transfer. Coz those can be traced.

[gritty rivet]

damn, never thought ticket resales would be like a drug deal, thats crazy

[brisk pagoda]

Japan don’t like the way others benefit by doing resale

So they had this banned in the first place and have almost every Japanese concert a raffle

So people do not think like foreigners

Who will just basically use it for themselves

And profit

[cloud quest]

this is my first time to see that kind of notice. lol

not in itzy and BP. lol

[brisk pagoda]

Well coz again this is newjeans a big group that even Japanese sponsors know will get a big benefit from

[brisk pagoda]

Yeah itzy or bp didn’t get this kind of notice before, even with izone being a big name in jp too didn’t get a notice for ticket resale

[cloud quest]

it really shows that NJ is so big here.

[brisk pagoda]

Tell you right now, IVE and LSFM will not even bother with the resale tickets

[cloud quest]

oh yeah, IZONE too.

[brisk pagoda]

Like they won’t give out a notice about their fan meeting tickets for Japan lol

[golden sequoia]

[cloud quest]

does the ticket have NB and name of the winner?

[brisk pagoda]

From what my sources are saying, you have to show your membership ID number and government issued ID to pay for the ticket

[cloud quest]

so the ticket will have both?

[brisk pagoda]

When they went to 7/11, now I don’t know if let’s say me I didn’t win but I can just ask the membership ID and input it on the machine

[long veldt]

This is as strict as an IU concert

Ooof

[brisk pagoda]

That I do not know if it’s visible on the ticket as they said tickets will be printed on June 15

[brisk pagoda]

Well Korean concerts will have a name on the ticket

That’s been like that even if you aren’t a fan member

[cloud quest]

my last chance to get the tickets is the PIA raffle.

ill just wait before i buy from resales.

[brisk pagoda]

I have one person who will pick their ticket and then sell it to me once I arrive in Japan.

[long veldt]

I know but at IU concerts they started to ID check at seats

[brisk pagoda]

We didn’t even discuss on the site, just literally a dm about what to do lol

[long veldt]

And ask for credit cards used in purchasing

[brisk pagoda]

Did that on bunnies camp 1 with newjeans

[cloud quest]

premium?

[brisk pagoda]

Yeah

[long veldt]

But EDAM just got in trouble for banning people and is unbanning some

[cloud quest]

nice. they can wait for you.

[long veldt]

I wonder if new jeans will run into a similar issue

[brisk pagoda]

Yeah, again I only deal cash so no wiring or transfer bans happening

These resellers doing it the noob way lol

No wonder they get caught

[long veldt]

Japan is going to be insane for like 4 weeks

New jeans, LSF, Twice, Itzy, and IU

[cloud quest]

does your friend have another ticket?

[long veldt]

All within a few weeks

[gritty rivet]

yeah @cloud quest , we coudlve gone to itzy together

[brisk pagoda]

They only won 2 seat for one day, which is why I immediately told them I’ll buy it for the price they want. Don’t care about the seat number and section number.

[gritty rivet]

[cloud quest]

[cloud quest]

[brisk pagoda]

But I feel like the person I’m talking to is another student coz of how they reply, this might be another uncle Kira situation

[gritty rivet]

[brisk pagoda]

I’m gonna meet mom and kid and be asked to accompany their kid to the concert

[gritty rivet]

LMAO

any housing plans yet uncle kira

[brisk pagoda]

I’m doing that this week, checking on Airbnbs.

[gritty rivet]

if i get tickets, i'll look for a cheap option with other people

[honest tapir]

are airbnbs still good

i once booked an airbnb where it looked like the owner literally just stepped out when i arrived

worst experience ever and never again since

[brisk pagoda]

Oh dang really

[honest tapir]

and arent airbnb prices on par w mid level hotels anyway

im not updated

[brisk pagoda]

I mean I don’t know about Tokyo but Kanazawa and outside Tokyo area were super nice

[gritty rivet]

the one i booked in seoul is crazy expensive yeah, not always the cheaper option

but it can be

[brisk pagoda]

It also depends on the season I think

[long veldt]

If you need help with Tokyo stuff

Ping me here

I usually spent 3-6 months a year in Tokyo/japan

As for accommodations

Where is the venue again?

[honest tapir]

tokyo dome

[long veldt]

Then it really doesn't matter where you stay in Tokyo

I would suggest people to avoid staying in Shibuya or Shinjuku since those places will cost significantly more than other areas of Tokyo

[honest tapir]

what time is last train on weekdays usually again i forget

[long veldt]

I'd stay in Ueno, Asakusa, Asakasa, Nihonbashi, Kanda, or Ikebukuro

[long veldt]

Depends on the line, but usually around midnight

[brisk pagoda]

12mn

[long veldt]

Airbnb is not recommended unless you plan on staying as a group

If its like 4-8 people sharing a place, then airbnb makes a lot more space as a way to cut costs.

[brisk pagoda]

Yeah of course

[long veldt]

If you're a solo traveler or a couple that can share a bed, its far better to do a business hotel.

[honest tapir]

btw mrT are you fanclub member or you buying resale for nj

[long veldt]

Business hotels will usually be cheaper and much better located

[long veldt]

Neither. I was probably going to accompany a friend.

I just happen to be in Japan at the same time because of IU, so I thought about going.

[honest tapir]

oh ok

[brisk pagoda]

Solo travelers should just get a hotel that’ll cost you like below 50$ a day

There’s some deals on websites that can land you cheaper than directly getting a room reservation from their main site

Also if you don’t want to spend ton of money just for hotel reservations, don’t even think of booking like 3-5* hotels jeez

[long veldt]

Yeah you can find hostels for like $20-50 USD a day

Booking.com and agoda are usually the two best sites

[brisk pagoda]

Or even capsules

I like capsules if I won’t be able to go back to my hotel haha

[long veldt]

A lot of capsule hotels can cost almost as much as a business hotel

If you really don't mind staying really far out, you can stay like 30-40 minutes out of central tokyo and just commute as a way to save money.

[brisk pagoda]

Oh true if you’re paying by the hour

[long veldt]

Oh and ideally, don't stay in love hotels.

[brisk pagoda]

lmao I don’t think they would do this lol

Unless for the experience

[gritty rivet]

[long veldt]

Fortunately the yen is doing quite badly atm, so stuff is very cheap in Japan atm

A good business hotel in Tokyo will run you like $50-100 USD during June

[gritty rivet]

i noticed APA Hotels are a really big thing in japan

[long veldt]

Yes but I don't generally recommend them except as a last resort

and that's outside of the insane APA owner

[gritty rivet]

i'll see how bad it is

[long veldt]

I got some photos

If you're alone, its fine, but its a pretty small space

[gritty rivet]

.. is that bad

[long veldt]

Think of a normal bedroom size in the USA

and then put a bathroom in that

[gritty rivet]

oh yeah, i knew that its small, i'll spend most of my time outside anyways so i dont really care about that

[honest tapir]

rec a place better than that for 50 a night

[long veldt]

You will have just enough room to open your suitcases

[honest tapir]

for reference

[long veldt]

For $50 a night?

Not likely to happen

[gritty rivet]

thats why i only bring a backpack and not a suitcase

[long veldt]

and those $50 APA are usually in Asakusa or Inaricho or Gotanda, etc

[long veldt]

How are you going to fit all that sweet sweet NJ merch and freebies? 😛

[gritty rivet]

... thats a problem for future me

[long veldt]

Dates are June 26-27?

[long veldt]

In all honesty, you can just buy some cheap luggage from don qui

[cloud quest]

finix loves it.

[long veldt]

You can go buy one of those

[gritty rivet]

only with you

[cloud quest]

[gritty rivet]

yeah probably will do, but im in korea after japan so i dont think i can bring much with me from japan anyways

[gritty rivet]

[long veldt]

@honest tapir Something like this near Ueno would be fine

https://www.booking.com/Share-1mT0VBO

$70 USD a night, but $50 USD a night if you do bunk beds and split with someone.

Also, because I know someone will do it

Don't book a hotel in Kabukicho

[honest tapir]

lol that is exactly where we stayed last year

exactly that

[long veldt]

Unless you want to be in the middle of a red light district with prostitutes and scammer touts

[long veldt]

How was it for you?

[honest tapir]

it was ok, we were in the 2bed room

not stuffy at all

location was kinda weird tho, 7-10 min walk from all train ticket gates

even when there was a subway entrance in front of it

[long veldt]

Ueno station is a massive station

[gritty rivet]

are there still suica cards to get around, or how does that work nowadays

[long veldt]

Since its a major station for shinkansen

[long veldt]

You got an iphone?

[gritty rivet]

nah samsung

[long veldt]

and yes you can buy SUICA cards, though you'll probably not be able to get them at the airport

[gritty rivet]

[long veldt]

You'll need to buy paper tickets until you can pick up a SUICA at one of the JR EAST travel centers

[honest tapir]

last time my companion had to buy suica at the airport

[long veldt]

They might have welcome suica

[honest tapir]

not actual suica though

yes welcome suica

[long veldt]

I have an iphone, so I have no reason to get a SUICA

Iphone users don't need to get physical SUICA

its only for android users

[brisk pagoda]

Which is why I have an iPhone lol

Just for Japan travel

[gritty rivet]

omw to buy a second phone just for japan

[brisk pagoda]

Coz the time you will do refills for suica cards

[long veldt]

Tokyo itself is very easy to get around and very cheap atm.

[brisk pagoda]

Like I usually put like 50$ for my suica cards and it will get me to a lot of places

[long veldt]

Just don't spend too much money on gatcha or claw machines

or in akihabara buying waifu anime figurines

[gritty rivet]

i tried them once in singapore

felt disappointed

[brisk pagoda]

Lmao…this man knows my weaknesses

[long veldt]

This is my weakness

[gritty rivet]

[brisk pagoda]

Lmao

[long veldt]

and only if I could have bought it

[brisk pagoda]

[brisk pagoda]

Ohh tower records?

[long veldt]

Its not there anymore

[brisk pagoda]

Oh damn

[long veldt]

but yeah its an IU polaroid from 2011/2012?

[brisk pagoda]

Well I see the izone shirt with all 12 members

[long veldt]

Yeah that's still there

[brisk pagoda]

Yes

I have photos of them too lol

[gritty rivet]

and whats that now? a gacha price?

[brisk pagoda]

Display mostly

[long veldt]

huh?

Oh

Yeah its just display

They don't sell it

[gritty rivet]

oh sorry, just cuz you were talking about that a minute ago LOL

[long veldt]

If it was for sale, someone would have bought it instantly

Some crazy Japanese fan would have dropped like $5000 for it

[brisk pagoda]

I would be lmao

[long veldt]

Twice LPs will probably be on sale

[brisk pagoda]

I only have my 3 bias for that shirt itself lol.

[gritty rivet]

[long veldt]

They will probably still have the IU display up

since her concert is soon

but they will also have New Jeans, Twice, LSF, and Aespa displays probably since they are also having concerts/fan meetings

Twice, LSF, and Aespa are all having concerts/fan meetings on the same day

New Jeans is fortunately in June, while those are in mid July

I'd also tell people who are in Tokyo for NJ to explore the local music scene

[brisk pagoda]

I’m already imagining that shibuya 109 will probably have a newjeans stand with their album and signatures

[long veldt]

Probably

Tokyo is also a great place if you're really into denim and jeans

Japanese jeans are absolutely amazing

[brisk pagoda]

Oh did you hear that most of the wonyoung signed Polaroids and album signatures were like stolen

[brisk pagoda]

Bought almost all my uniqlo stuff there lol

[long veldt]

jeez?

Oh there's a kpop store that does sell official signed polaroids

I remember seeing like 20 twice ones

I don't think they will have any New Jeans stuff

[brisk pagoda]

I think I know which one but I do not remember the name anymore lol

[long veldt]

k-books in ikebukuro

I'm just glad I have my flights already

[brisk pagoda]

Well yeah twice is a big group name still in Japan and is one of the long running groups atp, so I figured they’d have a lot of Polaroids signed. But with newjeans not yet, but now they are officially doing a Japanese debut. This will be good

Hanni will be the highest selling member for jp debut if they do same album sales in Korea.

[brisk pagoda]

I have to book my flight for Japan-Korea lol.

[long veldt]

Same lol

but for september, so I got time

[brisk pagoda]

I have my one way to Japan and one way from Korea to US booked

But no booked flights from HND to GMP yet lol

[cloud quest]

mrt, did you see the newjeans stuffs?

[honest tapir]

btw is it worth going to shinokubo koreatown?

is there kpop stuff there

[long veldt]

There's a metric fuckton of unofficial stuff

Let me see if I can find the IU ones

[long veldt]

Which?

[honest tapir]

so like those shops in myeongdong

[long veldt]

This is just IU unofficial merch

but there wil probably be more New jeans stuff

[honest tapir]

interesting thanks

[brisk pagoda]

lol this is like the market market

[honest tapir]

i couldnt go last time

[brisk pagoda]

Where you buy cheap unofficial merchandise

[long veldt]

Its a pretty popular tourist destination, so lots of people

[brisk pagoda]

I need to book some reservations for food

[gritty rivet]

alredy?

[brisk pagoda]

What you mean already? Some Japanese food places that needs reservations are already closed for booking since January for the month of June and July lol

[gritty rivet]

what kinda restaurants u plan on going to daaayum

i'll just see where it takes me

[long veldt]

lol you can still find a ton of good places

The places that reserve that early and are full

are probably not the places people here are going to

I assume most people are going to be on a limited budget

and not spending $200-300 USD for a meal

[brisk pagoda]

Of course but I still want to do those reservations that you can only do

[long veldt]

but if you want good reservation places that are like $50-150 USD. I can recommend those

[brisk pagoda]

Anything from ginza?

[long veldt]

What kind of food?

[brisk pagoda]

Or in shinjuku that I don’t know yet

[long veldt]

You want soba, tempura, katsu, sushi, etc

[long veldt]

Depends on the food you want

[brisk pagoda]

Summer so cold noodles would be one

[gritty rivet]

wow cold noodles? sounds refreshing

[brisk pagoda]

Yeah you can do hot soba or cold soba

[long veldt]

Oh if you're american and you don't already have it

You should get a charles schwab visa platinum debit card

[brisk pagoda]

I’m already using fidelity for mine haha

[long veldt]

I just mean for withdrawing yen in Japan

[brisk pagoda]

Coz I just usually withdraw cash mostly when I go to food places

[long veldt]

These should all be fine

[cloud quest]

[ruby scroll]

[long veldt]

No but I wasn't looking for it

[long veldt]

Random shops in shinokubo

[ruby scroll]

[gritty rivet]

[cloud quest]

[gritty rivet]

if i get lucky i get lucky

[ruby scroll]

[ruby scroll]

[brisk pagoda]

I’ll record

And not try to get kick out of course lmao

[cloud quest]

ill send you pics.

[gritty rivet]

and i'll definitely go on 2025 tour to at least one concert so eh

[gritty rivet]

you used up the luck for itzy raffle

[long veldt]

I'll be in Tokyo anyways, so if you're around, I can meet up with people.

[cloud quest]

ill send you my pics with Minji.

[long veldt]

I'm not sure if I'll be going to NJ, depends on if my friends get tickets.

[brisk pagoda]

Sei tbh you could have told me about itzy and I could have told my best friend who’s an itzy main group bias

[cloud quest]

[cloud quest]

my sister told me late that i won the raffle.

[gritty rivet]

i'll never let you forget this sei

you'll hear it from me until the end of days

[cloud quest]

stop.

[brisk pagoda]

I will be in Tokyo regardless of if I win the next raffle or not lol

[ruby scroll]

finix u never entered the jp raffles right

[gritty rivet]

nah, past finix was smart enough to not spend 40 bucks just to join a luck based raffle

[ruby scroll]

I unfortunately wasn’t smart enough

and lost anyways

[gritty rivet]

[brisk pagoda]

It’s okay, more concerts coming throughout the year and next year

And comebacks too

[ruby scroll]

ur right

time to spend more cash

[brisk pagoda]

Anyways, I’m down to meet with bunnies in June

I wanna do bar hopping without my gf lmao

Or food hopping I guess haha

[plush glade]

Just read through everything in here and that was a lot of information. Too much to absorb lol.

Even though hotel already booked I'll leave everything else until after I pay for a Bunnies Camp ticket. I'm pessimistic with my chances.

[ruby scroll]

you got it

[plush glade]

I thought the hotel I booked was cheap but compared to what you were discussing it's not so cheap. But it is in a ridiculously good location.

I'm mostly comparing it to central London/Paris hotel prices which are literally minimum 3-4x the price of what I booked in central Tokyo. Minimum.

[honest tapir]

well on top of all that yen is so weak rn

[long veldt]

One of the best things about Japan in general is that real estate and rents are very low compared to western countries

That has made it so lots of businesses can still stay alive and inflation hasn't been nearly as bad as in other countries

Real estate and housing isn't seen as an investment by most there and they have national zoning laws which encourage mixed-use development

[brisk pagoda]

My brother enjoying his stay in Japan with his gf, the only thing that is expensive for his trip is basically the round trip ticket. Hotels/airbnb and food cheap to the point you won’t be spending over 1K usd for 2 weeks

[long veldt]

lol I tend to go a bit more expensive with my trips

I usually budget $1500 USD a week with hotel

[brisk pagoda]

Not bad still

5K is my budget for a month so

And my stay is in between Osaka and Tokyo

[long veldt]

Yeah I typically go all over the country

lots of transportation costs involved

[plush glade]

I assume your talking about cost without flights?

[brisk pagoda]

Yeah

But usually you can budget a flight with 1500, then another 1500 for hotels for a whole month just as long as you know which ones have the cheapest options and such

Then 2k for food and transportation

If you want to be fancy and all, then you'd have to have a budget of 10k

Sometimes I just rent a place for a whole month which is cheaper than reserving hotels per week

So if you can reserve an apartment for a month, that wouldn't even cost you 500$ and such

Then you'd still have 3k budget for food and transpo.

[astral arrow]

what section you guys going for

SS and S?

[honest tapir]

im putting everything in the application but im fine with any

[long veldt]

Yes

Not including flights, NJ merch and tickets.

Factoring in hotels, transportation (subways and other trains), food. I would budget roughly $120-150 USD a day

Hotels being probably $60-90 USD per day

Whatever you do, try to steer clear of dining too heavily on konbini food

Its not as cheap as people think and you can easily find far better food than konbini for the same price if not less.

Konbini is really for when you're starving and its 3 AM.

You can go a lot less on hotels but that means doing hostels. YMMV with that.

[brisk pagoda]

You talking about konbini from Lawson, 7/11?

I don't even buy konbini from there unless I go to a grocery store with the half off or like price cut already on it lol.

[long veldt]

Yeah. Lawson, 7/11, Family Mart, Ministop

Also of course budget some money for purchases like merch, gifts, souvenirs, extracirricular activities.

If you're going that week, also make sure to make reservations for activities you want to do in advance

Shibuya Sky, Teamlab Borderless, Teamlab Planets, just to name a few.

[brisk pagoda]

When I don't go out to eat for dinner, and just go to a market with all their half off price for prepared food already

[ruby scroll]

this is the move I never see people do in travel vlogs

[brisk pagoda]

I've already been to those places so to me. I'm just going for food and spending time with my gf in Osaka, but with me only doing one week this June. Me and her don't even need to see each other unless she has time from her job.

[brisk pagoda]

Lol no one wants to admit that non rich people do this

[ruby scroll]

rich or not a deal is a deal

gotten some good stuff doing that

[brisk pagoda]

Why waste more money on food when there is a deal right in front of you haha

So usually like if I just want to snack on something, I just go to a grocery store. I see a lot of prepped food super cheap.

They don't like wasting food so the half off deals make it worth it lol.

[long veldt]

That works too

[long veldt]

Its very common for supermarkets to heavily discount food late in the evening just to get rid of it

so you'll see stuff like 50% off

and its cheaper to shop at supermarkets over konbini

[brisk pagoda]

Which is good coz I usually do this at night when I want to drink with friends haha

[long veldt]

but yeah always have extra money budgeted because people always have hobbies or activities they want to do

Some people will go drinking, some will buy anime stuff

[violet solstice]

[long veldt]

My personal hobbies are afternoon tea and underground indie music shows

[brisk pagoda]

The only time I actually drink alcohol is when I'm with friends haha

[long veldt]

Stuff like this is extremely fun to watch

Very easy to access for foreigners, very cheap to do.

[brisk pagoda]

Also mrt, have you accidently went out with a Japanese idol?

[long veldt]

Dated? No

but I have hung out with a former Japanese idol yes

Actually no wait, I've hung out with a Japanese idol before.

My friend's niece is one

[brisk pagoda]

Not really a date but you just went out and ate and drink.

[long veldt]

Funny enough

[brisk pagoda]

Like a normal friends doing...I don't think I can call that a date lmao

[long veldt]

A friend of mine once asked me if I was in Japan and wanted to go eat with her friend

Her friend was a Japanese idol manager

and I was like

"Oh is it a popular idol group?"

"Yeah HKB48"

"She's the manager for a specific idol"

"Oh? Anyone I know?"

[brisk pagoda]

I took a polaroid photo and picture of this girl I met but I did not realize till she gave me her ig that she's a jp idol lmao.

[long veldt]

"Have you ever heard of the idol Sakura Miyawaki?"

[ruby scroll]

[long veldt]

This was before LSF mind you

This was during her IZ ONE days

[ruby scroll]

thats dope

[long veldt]

but she had been her manager for a long time even before IZ ONE

[brisk pagoda]

I still think the gap between how people think of jp idols and kpop idols are a big difference in the eyes of others.

[long veldt]

Yes a few times

[long veldt]

There's certainly a huge gap

Since JP idols are primarily marketed based on their personality and ability to interact

Kpop at least does heavily focus on the music

Both industries heavily push the parasocial relationship of course

[brisk pagoda]

Coz I never realized she was in a group till I saw her posted stuff about her group lol.

[long veldt]

There's a lot of super nugu idols

[brisk pagoda]

And I'm like...I just ate ramen with this girl lmao

[long veldt]

An enormous amount. I've met quite a few former idols.

Both Japan and Korea are the same in that they treat idols differently than they do artists

Artists are seen in a more positive light

[brisk pagoda]

I know where she works coz she told me where to find her when I get back to Tokyo lol, and she invited me to see them do their gigs and such haha.

[ruby scroll]

wholesome interaction

[brisk pagoda]

But still funny to me that I don't pay attention on everything else when I just enjoy company

Oh and mrt, with jpop that's the reason why we have singers or entertainers with 2 names in jp idols lol. Coz work is work, and then private life is private life. The amount of times I have interacted with people in Japan gives me two names . Is that even normal now? Or is it just with the entertainment side of it in Japan?

[long veldt]

Its common for idols to have stage names, yes.

Many kpop idols have stage names instead of using their real names, though their real names are public

in Japan their real names aren't always public

[brisk pagoda]

Yeah kinda figured

But when you become friends, it's like how should I call you? Lmao...like do you want me to use stage name or real name lmao if I meet up

[long veldt]

real name

After all, you didn't learn about her being an idol until after you met her and hung out.

So it makes sense you'd call her by the first name she gave you

[brisk pagoda]

So would it be a disrespect if I suddenly call using her stage name?

[brisk pagoda]

Oh true

[long veldt]

I think it would just be really strange is all

[brisk pagoda]

Well good to know, even though I've been to Japan for a few years...I have not really been able to deep dive into their whole culture. But with their work ethics, I've been using their methods like in Toyota. My company is Hong Kong based, so it's mostly asian culture but yeah to me Japanese work ethics is like my go to.

And I can't wait to go back haha

[astral arrow]

this is cool where do u find these acts + where theyre playing

[long veldt]

I follow a lot of the IGs for the groups, but my friend frequently posts shows happening in Tokyo

https://www.instagram.com/gigsintokyo/

There's a link in his bio at the top. If you click on that, you can submit your name for ticket reservation for the show you want to go to. After that, you just need to show up to the show, give them your name, and pay in cash.

Its as simple as walking to the place and paying cash. No phone numbers, no eplus, no lawsons, etc. Super easy ticketing.

The shows are very indie underground type stuff, less than like 100 people in a room type deal

If you want front row, you can easily walk up and take it

and you can talk to the artists afterwards if you'd like (provided you speak Japanese) or buy their cds/merch and ask them to sign it.

Everyone is pretty chill and relaxed since its a lot of extremely nugu bands and groups who are genuinely surprised to see foreigner fans

@astral arrow Prices are also pretty cheap. Like 2000-4000 yen (plus a 500-600 yen drink ticket).

[brisk pagoda]

Yeah these type of places are cool to chill in tbh

[astral arrow]

thanks i’ll check some out while im there (depending i get bunnies camp tix)

ive found shows in smaller venues more enjoyable too..

[long veldt]

Just bring earplugs

Or you’ll go deaf

[astral arrow]

👍

[long veldt]

Yeah a lot of those shows, it gets packed if there's like 40-50 people in the room

Some of these indie venues are like the size of a normal US living room

[honest tapir]

LOL they're going bigger than that https://twitter.com/SHIBUYA109NET/status/1777894366943871340

[golden sequoia]

[brisk pagoda]

Lmao no way I manifested this talk about them doing shibuya109 to happen

[narrow hawk]

Anyone from sg going to the fan meet?

[astral arrow]

i must win

[sweet swift]

Ah, I'm so glad I live in Adachi

[astral arrow]

win i must

[gritty rivet]

huh, i am confused

@honest tapir wasnt global raffle on 17th april, the one we signed up for on monday?

but general pre-order april 13th, so in a few hours alredy?

[narrow hawk]

Goodluck yall

[plush glade]

Wait now I don't know if I need to apply for this on the 13th, too. I actually forgot about this and was going to wait until the 17th.

[gritty rivet]

theres no way that was announced before today tho right? wouldve been on schedule

so basically apply today 13th and apply with global membership on april 17th again?

[plush glade]

It was, I forgot about it.

[gritty rivet]

i'll wait for kira or mel to answer what i should do

[plush glade]

In your screenshot, you know the 8th-11th global membership raffle, that was when we were expecting to actually enter the raffle.

And then just an hour or two before 12:00 JST on the 8th, they posted a notice on NewJeans' Weverse so we had to sign up for the raffle on the 17th.

This was unknown when the page that you screenshotted was already up.

I think that page has been up and has unchanced since the Japanese raffle period.

[gritty rivet]

huh

man i hate everything about getting tickets

[plush glade]

This is my first time I barely know what's happening lol.

[astral arrow]

THIS PROCESS SUCKS

[gritty rivet]

theyre going for place 1 in the most complicated process competition

[astral arrow]

so if we win GL membership pre order and general presale we’d have to pay for both?

[gritty rivet]

is general presale also a raffle or a sale??

[astral arrow]

why is the turnaround like 9 days to even get results smh

[plush glade]

We'll find out if we win the global membership raffle on the 26th, leaving some time to enter the general pre-order raffle late if we don't win the global membership raffle.

I don't want to apply for more tickets than I actually want. I don't want to risk the resell situation even if it is within this small community in this thread.

[astral arrow]

That’s fair when assuming kira’s fcfs method doesnt apply

[plush glade]

What does fcfs mean?

[astral arrow]

first come first serve

basically what he was saying about entering as quick as possible

[plush glade]

I'll be there at 04:00 BST regardless. If you can be there when it goes live, there's no reason not to.

But they do specifically contradict what Kira has always been saying.

[narrow hawk]

8-11 April is pre-order registration to join the Global membership raffle

The actual raffle starts later

[plush glade]

Yeah that starts on the 17th.

[narrow hawk]

On 17 April

[gritty rivet]

but why is the general presale before the global raffle pre order

thats so stupid

[plush glade]

What I was trying to say earlier is that these details have been up for a while and before we knew that the 8th-11th was not actually entering the raffle.

[gritty rivet]

god damn so i'll wake up at 5am again today

[plush glade]

I'm probably hurting my chances doing things the way I am but I won't be applying for that.

[narrow hawk]

Maybe they reserved some tickets for the general presale, separate from the raffle tickets

[plush glade]

I wish they gave us percentages or something lol.

[narrow hawk]

But I doubt it’s going to be fcfs

[plush glade]

If you trust Kira, it is. Like I said if you can be there when it goes live, there's no reason not to.

And if it is not, then it doesn't hurt.

[gritty rivet]

it hurts my motivation for the upcoming workday when im tired

[ruby scroll]

there is only one outcome for me and that is to win

[plush glade]

I'm actually so annoyed by their scare tactics for reselling, because I am for sure not in the position to potentially apply for four tickets in the global membership raffle and in the unlikely event that I win them all have to pay for that and then sell them. And now you've reminded me of the general public raffle, I can't apply for what is now more than four tickets (I'm not sure how many total). It's actually stupid.

[gritty rivet]

and whats that mean

signign up on both pre sale and global raffle is possible or not

[plush glade]

I don't think that's what that means.

[narrow hawk]

I think the general presale is a separate raffle category, for tickets unsold/unpaid for the Global membership raffle

[gritty rivet]

aight

i'll apply tonight then, wenton is right

only winning matters

[narrow hawk]

I think possible. I signed up for both jp and global raffle

[ruby scroll]

we got it locked in

trust

[plush glade]

I do wonder how many people who apply do end up with extra tickets they need to sell. Because if they don't sell them there's going to be a lot more empty seats than the event organisers want.

[narrow hawk]

The organisers got the money secured tho. Only seats are empty haha

[plush glade]

Exactly.

[gritty rivet]

im not buying more than 2 tickets but i'll apply for 8

[narrow hawk]

Apply for lesser tickets higher chance to win

[gritty rivet]

[astral arrow]

ill apply for gen raffle after results of global mem raffle

[gritty rivet]

isnt more ticket applications more chance for one to win

payment period for global mem starts at 26th - 29th, this raffle ends 29th

[narrow hawk]

1 application for 2 tickets have lower chance to win than

1 application for 1 ticket

[gritty rivet]

seems like a good option, maybe i'll just do it like neet

[narrow hawk]

That was what my jp proxy told me

[gritty rivet]

[astral arrow]

oh so if u apply for more than 1 ticket they’ll never give you a partial amount

It’s either all or 0?

[narrow hawk]

Yeah it’s either win or lose the application

[astral arrow]

Damn

Might just try for 1 each then

[gritty rivet]

ah lol then it makes sense

didnt know it was either lose or win for the whole application

thaaanks winter

[narrow hawk]

No prob man good luck

[plush glade]

If you win, aren't you forced to pay?

[plush glade]

I don't think this makes sense to me nor do I see how. Everyone else who applied to the Japanese raffle tried to pick as many tickets as they could.

[plush glade]

Oh really? Sorry I'm replying to your messages before reading all of them.

On the 17th I'm just going to apply for one ticket per day. Then if I don't win on the 26th I'll apply to the general one on the 26th.

Does anyone know when winners are announced for the general one?

The only thing is selecting seating preference, I don't know how that affects things. I want to only select Premium and SS.

[gritty rivet]

yeah i'll do it like that too

[narrow hawk]

There’s a risk with selecting only 2 choices. I selected all 4 choices and only got my 4th choice S seat for both days during the jp raffle

My friend selected premium choice only for both days didn’t get anything and he regretted not selecting all 4 choices

[gritty rivet]

huh

but that contradicts what you said ealier

[narrow hawk]

Which part?

[gritty rivet]

ah sorry misread

my brain didnt pick up the choices as seats

but i wanna get premium or SS, i dont wanna sign up for something else

maybe i'll try global mem with premium and ss and after that the general sale just S seats

[narrow hawk]

Go for it, it’s all down to luck anyway

I’m just happy to be inside the stadium haha

[plush glade]

The general pre-order just went live. I'm having a look and wonder if it is the same process as for when people applied during the Japanese membership raffle period.

I also wonder if it will be the same for the global membership raffle period starting on the 17th. If so it'll be good to prepare the correct information, such as knowing what "half-width characters" are.

[honest tapir]

ok yeah

we can apply in English form

good luck

I'm already late

[uneven yacht]

we can apply as much as we want ?

[honest tapir]

someone said before the last application will be your only entry

so idk

[uneven yacht]

can't send a screenshot, but i just read : "If multiple applications are made in same day, only the last one is valid"

[honest tapir]

btw the name field seemingly doesnt accept spaces

i removed them and it worked

im entering 1 seat only per section

hopefully what that other guy said is true

[plush glade]

Are half-width characters just normal characters like these?

[honest tapir]

yes

[uneven yacht]

yeah

[uneven yacht]

what did the person say ? i didn't see

[plush glade]

I'm waiting until the 17th and will get my result on the 26th. If that fails then I have 3 remaining days to apply to this general one.

[honest tapir]

this

[uneven yacht]

that's weird lol

[plush glade]

They said it's because you either win everything you applied for or lose out. You can't win part of what you applied for.

I don't see how that would change the odds, but Kira says one thing, Winter Season says another thing, the official website says another thing (or nothing).

[uneven yacht]

it's a mess, i'm still gonna apply for 4 differents seats

[honest tapir]

ok im done

[plush glade]

Good luck!

[honest tapir]

it's all in gods hands now

[plush glade]

PIA is god?

Or whoever it is.

Thanks

General sales is another raffle, but mostly like will get you a seat.

Just pick whatever you desire, but I suggest you get all 4 seats. Coz if you only apply for 1 seat which is premium and it's out. Then you won't get it.

Also doing multiple applications won't help you, just do one with all the desired seats that you can afford.

[honest tapir]

yeah i applied for all four sections but 1 seat only per

[brisk pagoda]

Yup

[honest tapir]

that's my understanding of what winter said above

[brisk pagoda]

No point in applying 1 seat per section per application

[astral arrow]

im going to apply on the 26th

[brisk pagoda]

Just do one application with all 4 seats for the general sale and even before the general sale which was the jp and gl applications.

It just comes down to luck and if they have the seat you desire.

[honest tapir]

i reread the rules and the no reselling only applies for tickets from membership raffle

so technically if i win in GL and here i can resell this one no worries

[brisk pagoda]

For the membership resale, the problem you will encounter is basically having 1. The ticket you print out will have your membership details, which would be a no no for resale. 2. Before you pick up the ticket in 7/11, you will have to verify yourself and with the companion you will be bringing to the event.

Which to me I doubt it that they will have membership details on the ticket lol, but hey this might be a first time that it will happen.

Because this is newjeans so, maybe with them they really want to be strict about it.

If anyone hasn't noticed, general pre-sale didn't asked for membership ID..meaning when you get it printed out..only section, row, and seat number will be on your ticket.

If you win the raffle, as it still comes down to luck

[astral arrow]

there’s hope even if i dont win raffle

hmu if ure selling any section

[vital crystal]

If we lose the global membership raffle, will we get a chance to apply to the general raffle?

[mossy portal]

by the time the global application results are out
you still got 3 days to apply for the general raffle

[astral arrow]

what is the estimate for resale tickets

[sterile jasper]

Hi guys

[brisk pagoda]

13k yen seats are going for 15k yen, while the 15k yen seats going for 20k yen. 22k yen seats going for 35k yen.

[vital crystal]

It does say your name will be on the ticket. How does that work if you decide to resell?

[sterile jasper]

Who is going to buy the Bunnies Camp membership?

[mossy portal]

i have it already

[brisk pagoda]

You can’t lol

If it does say your name will be on the ticket then of course you can’t do a resell

[vital crystal]

[brisk pagoda]

But with several of the people reselling it with their jp raffle wins why would they resell it in the first place if you have your actual name on the ticket lol

[narrow hawk]

I see alot of japanese selling "companion" tickets. they won 2 tickets but only need 1, so they sell the other and enter together

[vital crystal]

I already have a companion if I win so damn lol

[brisk pagoda]

Yes they do that because again they don’t have their actual names on those tickets, you only need to pick up the ticket from 7/11 with your confirmation number once you paid for the winning application

They do verify your name and membership id when picking the tickets up, but again no name will be printed to those tickets.

[vital crystal]

They verify you at 7/11? Not tokyo dome?

[brisk pagoda]

They have to check your id with your confirmation number when you pay for it

[brisk pagoda]

They do the usual pick a section and check your ticket number with confirmation number but it doesn’t happen that much in a Jp concert

[sterile jasper]

Guys, forgive my ignorance, but could someone explain to me in all the details what the Bunnies camp membership is? please

[brisk pagoda]

This is Jp concert not a Korean concert guys

[narrow hawk]

I dont think they verify id at 7/11 because my jp proxy paid in my name

[brisk pagoda]

Because you only need to give out your confirmation number

This might sound bad against Japanese people but they don’t really stick their noses out, they mind their own business lol.

If you have confirmation number, they won’t even ask like how other countries will ask you if your a minor or not lol.

Just like I go in to their concerts with just my ticket, no cc with me or ID with me when I go in.

I do have my passport ready but never been asked to show

[astral arrow]

hey thats not bad at all

reasonable even LMAO

[brisk pagoda]

Also some proxies do get questioned, if they look sketch. But again this is Japan lol.

@narrow hawk, this is how it went with your proxy. Asked your full name for your winning application and also confirmation number. Went to the store and paid and told you that tickets will be available June 15.

[narrow hawk]

ah I see

[brisk pagoda]

What you mean ahh I see, you won ticket from jp raffle right?

[narrow hawk]

yeah but I didnt ask my proxy about the payment process

she just sends me the receipt after payment

[brisk pagoda]

Well yeah coz you just give them your name and confirmation number which is the same with my previous experiences in jp concerts

Did you even ask if you have your actual name in the ticket

That could have told us already if no resale is going to happen lol

[narrow hawk]

yeah the receipt reflected my name

[brisk pagoda]

That’s the 7/11 receipt…

[narrow hawk]

ticket collection not yet

[brisk pagoda]

Well everyone will pick it up on the same day so

[brisk pagoda]

Bunnies camp membership or bunnies membership via weverse?

[sterile jasper]

idk 😅

[brisk pagoda]

Lol

[gritty rivet]

Ill wait for global mem announcment, if i didnt win ill also apply to the general raffle

[prime sandal]

same

[plush glade]

Read throught the discussion above, took me a while but seems clearer and I'm a little more confident now.

[gritty rivet]

pls make a tldr for me

[plush glade]

lol

[gritty rivet]

[plush glade]

I don't think I'm capable of tl;dr.

Have you seen my yapping?

Anyway Finix I think you're in the same camp as me.

[gritty rivet]

what do you feel more c onfident about

[plush glade]

About having a chance to win or buy general ticket if I don't win.

[gritty rivet]

buy two so i can go with you

[plush glade]

Do you smell?

I'm just going to do what I said earlier but make sure to select all four seat sections. Seems like you were going to do the same Finix.

[gritty rivet]

im just applying for two tickets?

[plush glade]

I'm applying for one per day.

[gritty rivet]

yeah like that

global mem i'll SS and Premium and if i dont win then i'll just S in the next one

[plush glade]

By the way have a look at that form, seems like you have to apply for one day and then complete that and then do it all over again from the start for the second day. I didn't know that until I just tried it with fake info just now just to test it out.

[brisk pagoda]

Lmao both of you still can't make up your minds?

[plush glade]

No I have.

[brisk pagoda]

Just get 1 seat per section, it's the best way for one application per day

[plush glade]

I was saying everything you discussed helped out now. Just took me... some time lol.

Before, I kept getting confused over tickets vs seat preference.

But it's clear now.

[gritty rivet]

yeah first raffle 1 ticket premium, 1 ticket SS, next raffle 1 ticket S and 1 ticket whatever the other section is

all 4
