Btw, should I open a thread for each concert - for meet ups and, later, setlists and such...?

I'd say yes, but then again I've been an X Japan fan for too long to take anything for granted. Even ticket sales xD

Ann1958 · **Reply #91 on:** August 16, 2010, 11:08:08 PM

Yes! It will be easier to follow with different threads.

To Astralmind :
Can't you change the date for the honeymoon? Your husband will understand it, or make X concert part from your honeymoon. Anyway congratulations for you and your husband!!!

MY LIFE IS GOING TO BE COMPLETE!!! I'll be on the pc like a rabid beast refreshing Ticketmaster the morning of Wed. 18th!!! FOR ALL OF US GOING TO TORONTO SHOW WE NEED TO DO AN X MEET UP! I'm putting money they will be staying at the Royal York (knowing Yoshiki's good tastes) lets go find him/them!!!!
Well since they have a concert in Chicago the day before the Toronto live, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd take an overnight bus (as Yoshiki's private jet might be a bit expensive). But after the concert, why not....

Btw, should I open a thread for each concert - for meet ups and, later, setlists and such...?

Good point, it's odd how the Chicago-Toronto shows are one after the other and none of the others are like that..guess they are the closest to each other than the rest. Good idea about the individual threads!

It might just be that the venues were already booked so they had to do two shows straight.

Thomas849 · **Reply #95 on:** August 16, 2010, 11:29:51 PM

X meet up for sure in Toronto, great idea. and yea they will most def spend a night in the royal york, id say its worth camping out after the concert lol

If you are doing that, do it with respect please for their privacy, don't persue them...

Thomas849 · **Reply #97 on:** August 16, 2010, 11:35:03 PM

we could be conveniently placed at Benny Hanas inside the hotel lol

Palma · **Reply #98 on:** August 16, 2010, 11:56:58 PM

Or just hang around Massey Hall. They will be there for sound check etc. They might even duck out for a smoke.
As long as we are polite and respectful I think they might be receptive....

Of course, lol. First of all, I'm a guy (eliminates possibility of being a crazed fan-girl) my wish is to be within earshot of them and give them support and encouragement and cheering them rather than groping and trying to touch them.

Just bought my tickets for the Seattle show, I cannot friggin' wait soooooo happy

see you all in NYC

Brandon · **Reply #102 on:** August 17, 2010, 12:59:58 AM

I'll be moving to Toronto for university in September, so i'll be seeing X for sure, nothing will stop me! So i'll be waiting at my computer to get first dips on tickets for Toronto on Wednesday!

I heard about an X meet up for the concert in Toronto! Sounds like a plan!

freshtofu · **Reply #103 on:** August 17, 2010, 01:34:47 AM

I guess they haven't found available booking in San Francisco.. but I'm definitely attending the Oakland concert! I have school that night but DAMN IF I DON'T SEE THIS LIVE!!!

PS: Anybody know about 'media' passes and if they're available?

IronMaitallica · **Reply #104 on:** August 17, 2010, 01:47:57 AM

FUCK! I've been without a job for five months, and I don't know if they'll ever do a US tour again. I'm sure they'll make profit off this, but they reality is they would get more money if they just did 7 days at Tokyo Dome in that time instead. I already went pretty far into my funds going to Chicago last month to see Iron Maiden. I like them slightly more than X, but I wish I used that money to see X instead. Oh well, I'll just have to travel to Japan some day.

Hey there,
Wow, been a long time since I've posted here (I posted for a bit under the name aaroni but forgot the e-mail I used for that one and totally forgot I had this one, ha ha) but this has broken my silence. Massey Hall here I come!

And it's very nice to see I'm not the only person on here saying that!

LoveMeLemoned · **Reply #108 on:** August 17, 2010, 06:02:30 AM

Hopefully going to NYC for Toshi's birthday. I'm buying my tickets as soon as I have money-- September at latest. I hope they don't sell out before then...

BloodofBathory · **Reply #109 on:** August 17, 2010, 06:05:35 AM

Well I'm most definatley going to try make the Seattle show. I'm so excited! I'll have to throw away Thirty Seconds To Mars, Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed to do it but it will so be worth it! I can't believe they added Seattle! It's going to be awesome!

sai · **Reply #110 on:** August 17, 2010, 07:25:28 AM

I... I think NYC is sold out. You can't buy them anymore.

I'm near tears. I thought it would at least wait until friday, when I could buy my tickets. It wasn't even a full day.

*sobs*

LoveMeLemoned · **Reply #111 on:** August 17, 2010, 08:07:00 AM

That .. is crushing.

EDIT: in a fit of absolute fear (i have to wait till the beginning of september to buy mine...) i went to check ticketmaster, and it seems that they're still selling tickets...? Where did you find this out? x___x I'd like to think there's still hope left..

I checked that out too, after a mini heart attack. Which subsided, of course, upon finding it would let me proceed further. xD;

Noise · **Reply #115 on:** August 17, 2010, 10:32:48 AM

I wish they would be coming to Europe instead but oh well, I hop this is going to be great. Are ticket prices always that high in the US? I was just checking the prices for their LA show and apparently tickets for the areana-thing are like 80$. Knowing them, the money probably would be worth it but that kind of pricing won't help them getting new fans. To me that seems kind of expensive (never gone to a US concert before so I might be wrong) and won't that drive away those who are just curious and want to check them out?

sai · **Reply #116 on:** August 17, 2010, 11:41:15 AM

It is now--for about 3 hours it was stating that they had no tickets left/no information/no tickets could be found. I figured this meant that they sold out. It also very well could mean that they just screwed up the servers.

pinkspider13 · **Reply #117 on:** August 17, 2010, 01:09:44 PM

New York, here I come!

Can't waittt. <3

pinklemons · **Reply #118 on:** August 17, 2010, 03:02:56 PM

NYC! I can't wait now i just need to find a traveling buddy...as all of my friends don't have money.I'm going no matter what even if i have to lie to my mom that someone i know is taking the train/bus with me. When i saw that tickets were on sale i ran upstairs (despite my foot going DON"T RUN IT HURTS) and BEGGED my mom to let me use her card to get tickets.

Well the LA tickets start at $39 (+fees, but I don't think they are over $10-$20)... I think that's pretty normal for jrock concerts (I've only been to Girugamesh and Versailles in Helsinki, and it was a bit cheaper I think)... I'm more worried about the Canadian show prices, but I guess a Canadian can comment on that a bit better...
