wow .. ya ..
I didn't realise the procedure to get into Anta, Dare is so easy ...
I got a friend who got in recently .. I thought its some tough application process and didn't ask ...lol
Now I finally figure out why there are a big crowd of people queuing up outside the cafe at certain time .. thanks ...
as for the theater ...
They had change the ticketing system into a 48 group combined system ..
it does not have the option for foreigner to register ..
most people are using the underhand method by keying in the hotel address, friends address or just a totally fake address ...
which means you can only bid regular seats which is really hard to win and not the long distance one because they may verify the address ...
so far .. I haven't hear of anyone who tried and won since the new system ... if there anyone that manage to beat the system yet?
For super long distance .. the selection and instruction is on the AKB48 site ..
but I do not think they are actually reading your application ..
because I realise when I was there before the new system .. there wasn't a super long distance queue when they organise up the fans to go into the theater ..
I heard the argument that they are queue in the regular queue ... but in such a small place with so few people .. ain't it easy to spot a foreigner ...
as at now .. I haven't heard of anyone winning super long distance for a long time ... so have one heard any ?
as for Ketchup ...
from what i know .. ya drahzaar is right ...Zenkoku is the only option ...
For AKB48 .. you should be able to find a shop selling the ticket out at overprice rate in Akihabara ..
For AKB48 these ticket usually come in 2 types and I still haven't figure out the difference ... so be careful
for the sister group .. chances is .. you can still get the ticket in the limited version single which should be still on sales ...
that's why sister group tend to sell better after the first week than AKB48 ...
you just got to check the different group site for the news on when and where they are going to do it and get the relevant tickets ..
that's all i know ... but I could be wrong as 48 group are ever changing though ...
