MORNING MUSUME at Anime Expo (LA), Thanks for coming! Options

[Amped-Echoz]

Its too late for me to go back now. If I get there really early in the morning, does anyone have any idea of what kind of seat I will get?

I'm upset that the staff I asked had no idea about this. I really wanted a good seat. :[

you are not the only one. your situation is the same as me.i didnt get to exchange the "voucher" for a ticket. im really angry.

I'm sitting in my hotel right now, and we just came back from a long days worth of line sitting LOL. I got 5th row seats in the right side center part (Sect. C)!!!! Woohoo!!!

From the looks of the line after leaving LACC today, I'm not sure how "good" your seat will be. The line was really long for getting Main Event tickets, not counting the people still standing in the GINORMOUS registration lines. When we got to LACC early (around 11am) they hadn't put up the black paper to conceal the Main Event Hall and we saw them arranging the seating...lets just say the complete last row will suck if you're short...its stadium seating and its kind of far...

Hope everyone's having fun out there!!!

[Celedam]

ampedechoz is freaking out over the ticket situation, so I guess I'll repost these for him…



Aika got cut off.

And it's interesting how almost everyone has gone back to dark hair.

[Evening Musuko]

Got my badge, shirt and ticket today! I also met up with 55cyanides and MM=Happiness in line. We're going to be on Section E Row 5. I'm a pretty short guy so hopefully no one too tall sits in front of me.

I saw a bunch of people wearing MM stuff and a few people wearing the H!O shirt. Talked with a few MM fans while waiting in line so that made waiting a bit bearable. (even saw a few people reading this thread. )

I'm really excited and glad that there are so many people seeing MM. Hopefully they'll consider more MM concerts in the US. (like say in Houston TX )

turbos86 reporting in from LA.

Just got back from AX, lots of ups and downs already.

Day 0 report

Went to LACC at 6am and saw about 30 people waiting outside. Later on, when the line grew to about 100 people, AX staff come out and re-organized the line. Unfortunately for some who waited since 4 or 5am, they somehow go shuffled into the middle of the new line. And the soon after, we were relcated to the other side of the conversion. And yet, soon after that, they let us go inside to wait right infront of the badge pick up booths.

I left the line soon after for something else more important. More details below.

I came back to the conversion center at 3pm for the event tickets, and there were people about 50 people without badges lining up for it. Thanks to 1 person infront of me who were picking up tickets for 20 of his friends, I was only able to get 6th row seating.

So the reason I left the badge line up was, I went to the Westin hotel to get my Press badge and wait for Morning Musume to arrive for the interview Junket. However, things did not turn out as planned.

@Celedam
I know. It is strange. I couldn't ever see who is who.

Wow!! Seem like Anime Expo mess up the ticket lines. I would be pissed off.

[Munkee_G1rl]

@Celedam:Wow. I recognize ppl from that picture. I saw them today while waiting in line for the badges~ lol I wish I could've been there... *pout*

I'm so sore from all that standing. It was great talking to other fans though.... finally ppl understand and know what I'm talking about~ Anyways, I'll be sitting in section E row 6....

[SunshineSlayer]

From what i see in Hall A, the seats are portable. Also, please don't be rude by standing on the chairs and block the people in the back.

Yes please no one do that. I'm likely to be stuck towards the back now and I'm sure there will be lots of short people trying to see.

Is the stage already set up? If so, how high is it? The higher the stage, the easier it will be for people to see.

[taki]

the line stuff today was crazy frustrating
but ended up getting seats row 3 section d
anyone else in the same area?!

[Mai17]

I'll be in E6

can't wait

[Kazuma2387]

I got there around 1:30 today to pick up my badge and ticket. It was hot as hell out there waiting in line for hours, I managed to get section D row 8 seats (not that bad but I wish I got there earlier) I saw a bunch of ppl with H!P shirts on, quite a few Koharu ones

@0:22 Girl with black hat and carrying the red bag, is that Reina? Anyways... I just want to point out that "Reina" spotted something in the crowd and was pointing to something/someone. LOL I wonder what it was, a banner? Was there any banners like the ones we see in Korea?

[Risa/Misa]

@Kazuma2387: That could be because she's the easiest member to relate into an anime considering.

You can check my flickr page for more photos, updated daily, I wont have time to photoshop them till I get home though =/

[zeroyon]

I just got back from getting my ticket, I am in section E kinda near the middle...

The meet at the airport was awesome, far more people than I expected showed up. There weren't 150 people, it was more around 50 that were specifically there for MM. Most of them were JPM'ers though. Everyone chased out the door after them when they walked across the center island and to their bus, and almost everyone kept their distance except for five or so that ran after them as they were boarding the bus.

I met two female japanese wotas and hung out with them for most of the day in line, it was interesting to learn everything about "wagagun" and such. They even gave me some free H!P trading cards I was certainly a long day though, I stood in lines for 5hrs+

If anyone is worried about the concert hall being small, it is FREAKING HUGE!!! Here is a pic I took of it:


and a pic of the seating map:


I somehow doubt it will be full, because non-MM fans will not sit in the back because you can't see anything from back there.....


Note: Does ANYONE know about the autograph ticket situation for the Q&A event? I asked just about everyone there is to ask at AX, and no one knew how it will work. Will they hand out autograph tickets to the first 300 people entering or something, or will they randomly hand them out at the Q&A event itself? The room in which the Q&A event happens has thousands of seats in it, so there is absolutely no way everyone can get one.

Also, why did everyone change their hair color? Aichan, Gakisan and Reina all have jet black hair now, and Eri's hair is really light....

[Munkee_G1rl]

@SunshineSlayer: The stage didn't look very high at all... It was like one foot taller than the chairs. I wasn't able to go inside the hall but I did see inside and by the looks of it.... :/ I guess they expect everyone to sit~

They had the speakers and lighting systems set up. It also had one screen for each side of the stage from what I remember~

Longer clearer video from the airport!

this is not my video

flowridez on youtube added this just recently

[ReiNa.than]

Thanks for that picture Zeroyon. My seat shouldn't be too bad, in row 9. I'll be able to see great.

I'm not really sure about the autographs for tomorrow either. I just know I'll make sure to get my autograph ticket for the cd purchase right away.

Everybody got to talk to MM fans. I was alone all day...Maybe I should have had my Reina hat on or something. lol.

[Evening Musuko]

Nathan: It's all good, It's the first day. try talking to other people. You may find out they're mm fans even if they don't dress like it!

[jimdawg]

just got home from ticketing

I got section C (center section) row 12, which is still VERY near the front. Good news: there was perhaps only 40 people left behind me in the events line, so anyone in line earlier tomorrow should be able to get really good seats still. Good luck all!
