Read on to learn how to buy tickets for LOVEBITES shows in Japan (or scroll to the bottom if you are looking for shows in other countries).
1. Official Fan Club
Tickets will first be available to members of the official fan club. Some artists have only a Japanese fan club (or “member site”), which can only be joined with a Japanese address.
Others, also have an International fan club. If the concert is outside of Japan, tickets might not be available through to members of the Japanese club.

2. Pre-order Before General Sale
Before tickets go on sale, there are usually one or more pre-order periods. In Japan, pre-order lotteries are common: you enter a ticket raffle and can buy the tickets if selected after the lottery entry period has closed. These lotteries are usually announced on the official website or various Japanese ticket agencies. To purchase from outside Japan, you might need to order through a proxy service.
3. General Sale
This is where the first-come-first-served sale starts. To participate, you usually need a verified account at a Japanese ticket agency. If you live abroad and can’t create such an account, the remaining options are purchasing through a ticket shopping service or an international resale site (see next paragraph).
4. Resale Tickets / Sold Out Shows
When concerts are sold out or difficult to get, resale tickets could be the only remaining option. Japanese resale sites such as Tickets.co.jp are difficult to navigate, though. Again, a Shopping Service might be necessary to purchase from those sites. There is also an international site, that lists LOVEBITES resale tickets for concerts in Japan: Viagogo.
