Go on day 0, Wednesday. Day 1 will be too late. Pick up your badge and ticket voucher and then head on to the ticket booth to pick up your actual seat ticket or seat row/section ticket. At least that's how it was done last year.

If you can only pick up your ticket on July 1st, Day 1, then I guess if you get to the registration line an hour or two before it opens at I think 9:00 AM, that might be fine. Because all the hardcore fans will have already got their tickets on Day 0.

I am SO ready for this!
I really don't know much about AKB, but I've been craving the adventure from last year so I'm gonna go see them. They seem like a pretty fun group. Plus, if they're concert is anything like MoMusu's last year, then I don't want to miss out! c20.gif
I'll be doing my research and video watching in the mean time that way I don't feel completely out of the loop when I go smile.gif
Maybe I'll meet up with some of you here on H!O who are big fans and can teach me a thing or two about them wink.gif
So, okay, how many people from here do we know are going again??
It's going to be me, my brother (Ryukotsu) and 55cyanides going.
We arrive in LA on Tuesday the 29th and are staying until Wednesday the 7th. (full on vacation baby!! http://www.hello-onl...tyle_emoticons/hello-online/c20.gif)
We're staying at the Downtown Marriott if anyone wants to meet up.
We also plan to go to Little Tokyo and Chinatown and whatnot whenever we're not busy with AX stuff.
We'd like to do a lot of sightseeing because we didn't get to see much of LA last year due to crazy MM goodness
It'd be awesome to get to meet some of you if anyone would like to join us.
I promise we're not rapists...
If you'd like to just PM me.

Yay!
Another AKB48 fan!
Well.. if you wanna know about them.. for one why not learn the names of the members that will be attending?

Team A - Kuramochi, Kojima, Sashihara, Takajo, Takahashi, Maeda Atsuko, Maeda Ami
Team K - Akimoto, Itano, Oshima, Ono, Nito, Fujie, Minegishi, Miyazawa
Team B - Kitahara

Oh also as you can see the posts for AKB48 is low on this site.
If you wanna know more about this event and talk about it more and get more replies I suggest you come here:

Only one member from team B!? I wonder why... :\

[kazuma2387]

^ they left Team B in japan for the concerts there while the others are away

Just got a tweet today from AnimeExpo:

"animeexpo Want to meet AKB48? Their "Meet the Guest" reception will be held on June 30th at 6:00pm. Tickets are limited! Buy for $100, only on-site!!"

Who's going?!

I AM!!!!

[Saki bomb]

I won't be able to make it to the "Meet the guest", but I will be staying at the Figueroa Hotel on June 30. Anyone else staying there?

[MaikuBano]

What does "only on-site" mean?

I'll be at the Wilshire Grand Hotel Los Angeles.

[MM=Happiness]

^
It means you can only by them there at the event as oppose to buying them earlier online.
sucky...
I'm gonna try my best to get to it

[MaikuBano]

That sure is a lot of money. I wonder if it's worth it

[MM=Happiness]

^
For the hardcore fans I'm sure it's worth it.
But for the newbie fans, like myself....it's also worth it
It's probably a once in a life time opportunity for most of us so why miss out?

but i could understand if it cuts into too much expenses. If anyone knows how important it is to save as much money as you can while you're out there, it's me.
I had one hell of financial issue last year. Thank god for luck, cuz I would have been completely SOL without it I'd probably still be living out there, working, trying to save money to come home.... but i'm not gonna get into that cuz those were still THE best days of my entire life

[Mai17]

since I'll spend more than $1500 just for this trip, spend another $100 is out of the question LOL

of coz I'll get it ~

[TheAnna18]

Ahh, I feel like an idiot now!
When they said "on-site" I thought they mean like on the website only so I was furiously looking around "Where do I order this?!"

Anyhow, I'll have to scrounge up some extra money to buy the meet the guest ticket. ><
I think I'd beat myself up for a very long time if I didn't go to the meeting.

[MM=Happiness]

Do they have special concert colors like H!P does?
I was gonna buy some glowsticks today and realized I had no idea which colors to get

[Krusha]

There are no member colors - although, pink have been associated with Team A, green with Team K, and blue with Team B (just look at the sports event and their shirts, or official team glowsticks used).

[MM=Happiness]

Ahh~ gotcha! Thanks!

[MaikuBano]

The concert Expo is in about 13 days. Does anybody have the full schedule of what AKB's doing?

[MM=Happiness]

Okay, so about gifts for them.
Is anyone else gonna give gifts?
I've never attempted to give gifts to any famous before so I'm totally lost
I was thinking of somethings to give them and all I could think of was bracelets...
Is that too lame??
I mean, I wanted to be able to give one to each of them cuz I didn't want any of them to feel less liked than the other.
Is that too stupid??
They come in 8 different colors and I was thinking getting 2 of each...
Or should I just get one color for all of them???
I DUNNO!!!!!

Here's what they look like:



What do you guys think?
Should I get them?
If so, should I get 2 of each color, or just one color for all??
and you can be totally hoest and tell me they're ugly too

[Saki bomb]

^ I think they look cute. You should go for it.

I guess mix the colors up, and maybe they will trade with each other for their favorites. Or maybe get them these:

Spoiler

I've never actually seen them in person, but this is the second article I've already seen on them.
