Hi, Does anyone know whether the Tokyo Dome shows are all sold out now? If so, might there be a fourth show added? Cheers, Andrew.
My Jap friend told me that everything has completely sold out (from PIA, Lawson and even lottery ticketing system from e+). Yikes! FYI, the ticket selling for the concert were done in stages: Stage 1: Pre-sale by official ticketing PIA (July-Aug) for S, A and B seats Stage 2: Pre-sale by The Beatles Jap fan club for S seats (July - Aug) Stage 3: Pre-sale by 3rd party Japanese credit card agents: JCA, Cedyna, etc (Aug) Stage 4: Lottery ticketing system by e-plus (Aug) for all seats Stage 5: General sale by Paul McCartney website for all seats & VIP tix (Sept) Stage 6: General sale by The Beatles Jap fan club for VIP tix (Sept) So yeah...I guess its all completely sold out. Might let go one of my tix (either 19th or 21st). PM me if interested.

Hi viroze, Thanks very much for all that info! I'm pleased to see that the concerts are a success. Did your friend mention whether the Osaka and Fukuoka concerts are also sold out? Thanks also for your very kind offer, which I really appreciate, but I really just wanted to get a sense of how well the ticket sales are going and whether the tour is likely to expand. Cheers, Andrew.

Seems likely that its sold out for all venue, but then its because a lot of fans and even ticketing agents are wiping off the seats. Some local sites are currently having lottery application for the VIP tickets. Hehe. Very interesting system here in Japan

Basically yes, but there's a small amount of tickets for sale again (lottery between 9.17 and 9.19 23:59 Japan time) on Ticket Pia. Probably the tickets which were sold before, but not paid in time.

Do you mean "yes" to both questions, or just the first one?

Oh sorry for the ambiguity (where is the edit button? ). It was a "yes, sold out". No additional dates have been announced. But who knows...

It's a bit complicated to get to the Dome from Kansai airport. The easiest thing might be to take the Nankai special rapid train from the airport station to Namba Station, then simply hop in a taxi waiting outside Namba Station - I would estimate it's less than 15 minutes to the Dome. http://www.kansai-airport.or.jp/en/access/train/
Hi Train is the fastest, the cheapest (JP 1500) and the most convenient way to get to the venue from Kansai Airport. Do not use a taxi unless you will be late for the show. Check this site http://www.howto-osaka.com.e.iv.hp.transer.com/top/railway/kansai-airport/ And print this out and see the railway station map on the second page http://www.howto-osaka.com/top/ticket/pdf/2013yokosoticket_en.pdf Take the Nankai special rapid train from the Airport Station (located next to the airport) to Namba Station. (Rapid Train: http://www.nankai.co.jp/traffic/express/rapit.html)) Get it off at Namba station (the last stop) and use a subway train from Namba(M20) to Dome Mae Chiyozaki(N12), the nearest station to the venue. Don?t forget that you must get off at Shinsaibashi(M19) to change the line. You might think it is complicated but it runs on time and so often. Even if you miss or get on the wrong train, you won?t be late for the show. Just in case you might wander how to get a ticket for subway, here is the link for you; How to use a ticket machine. http://www.howto-osaka.com.e.iv.hp.transer.com/top/railway/ticket/ Hope you will have a great time in my city Koichi

Good spot. Yes, the 11th November. The web-team have been burning the midnight oil for weeks over this launch so something had to give.... Martin

Is this some kind of joke? https://slotix.com/tours/paul-mccartney/out-therein-japan/c563088dcc370108d5664dc54bebc514VwRlZFV%3D Looks like VIP ticket for an additonal Osaka show(Nov 11th) is now on sale. But no matter how many times you try, you won't get anywhere. ALL ERROS?? Koichi

Hi. I am outside Japan and purchased tickets for Japanese shows through the website's presale. But tickets have not yet arrived although Crowdsurge explained to me that the tickets shipped on Oct. 24 from England. I am starting to really worry. Has anyone here received the tickets already?

You are already doing the responsible thing. Talk to Crowdsurge again and express your concern. Ask them specifically when they would cancel those tickets and place replacements at the venue box-office for collection. Note if you/they take this step the originals will become invalid - so if they arrive belatedly take them along but present them at the box office to assist identifying your order and collect your replacements. If this does need to be arranged make sure you take the original credit/debit card used for the purchase and some kind of photo-ID - if you're travelling to Japan your passport will suffice! If you can also print and take a copy of your original purchase e-mail with your account number and order number do so. In most cases, however, CrowdSurge do deliver. Martin

Hi Tat Did you buy a VIP package or just a ticket from presale web page? I understand that Crowdsurge sent the tickets all together to the Japan Posal Office, which would deliver the tickets to the address registered at the time of your purchase. I for one have yet to recieve a ticket from the presale. Japanese fan started recieving the VIP package but none of us has received the tickets from the presale. I am also worried like hell and have kept my fingers that it would arrive in a few more days. If there is anything I could do for you, please let me know. Sincerely, Koichi

Koichi-san, thank you for the reply. I purchased only tickets. As I'm not a resident in Japan, I want to have the tickets in my hand well before the Japanese tour starts. They also told me that tickets for outside Japan would directly go to respective country, not via Japan, and assured that they will arrange an alternative if the tickets don't arrive in time. But more than a week have passed since the day of the shipment and only a week to go before the first date of the tour. It's a enough reason to worry.

Hi TaT As of today, none of Japanese fan received tickets from Crowdsurge. One thing I really don? t understand is what took so long to send the tickets and why they had to send the tickets all together to the Japan Post Office for delivery instead of sending directly to us. More than two weeks have passed, none of us have received nothing. I could not help scratching my head because the Japan Post Office is so fast and efficient. Tickets should have arrived at least a week ago. Take it easy Koichi
