Amazing news to hear it sold out so fast, shows that the UK loves X Japan more than their managers thought we did!

On the downside, though, and on a VERY selfish note, I was looking forward to seeing them play an 800 seat venue, given that it would be the smallest X Japan show since like before Vanishing Vision?

Anyway, I got my ticket via the pre-sale and I'll be going down. I'm very excited for this. Finance permitting I may goto the Paris show, too.

I'm in for this as well.

Someone got a ticket for me when the gig went on sale at Islington and it's great to hear the gig is being upgraded to SBE (one of my fav intimate venues too.  Suits X Japan more ^^).

Ok, since the venue was moved to Shepherd's Bush Empire, I say we meet on the concert day at the Shepherd's Bush Common, a park just across the street from the venue.

Sounds good. I'm always happy when other people are organizing these sorts of things, cause I can be a very lazy person. ;)

We should all go on a pre-gig Camden pub-search to find Pata. Pata will love London, he's totally rock and roll and London pubs will be like heaven for him XD

Is the gig sold out? I just checked, and it says general tickets are on sale, but if you try to buy them it says that they're not on sale at Ticketweb. Is this just a glitch or something?

It seems there are now more tickets because they opened levels 2 and 3 as well.
I remember that earlier those levels weren't available yet.
When I ordered last friday, levels 2 and 3 weren't available for me.

They were available when I ordered on Friday. I could chose between Levels 1, 2 and 3. And later on that day that I had to book for a friend I could only chose between 2 and 3...

So what happens to the tickets that were bought before they changed the arena? What level will these tickets be valid to?

I would imagine the standing area in front of the stage?

I was on ticketweb more or less instantly after the upgrade, and there were no standing tickets available. From what I've seen, O2 Academy Islington only has one level, so it makes sense that those tickets would be upgraded to standing when the venue changed.

I'm surprised there are still tickets left, the Islington gig was sold out pretty much instantly. I personally would've preffered Islington as i've been there for a few Jrock gigs and their security really knows what they're doing, I emailed Shepherds bush with a queuing question and it seems like they're underestimating the fans *gulp*.

Do you hear the people sing?

Do you mean how O2 Islington said no queueing until a few hours before the show because they know how crazy some fans are? Haha. I read that and it made me laugh, when I went to see them in new york there were people camping outside the gig THREE DAYS BEFORE IT STARTED! Crazy!

Yeah, I emailed Shephards Bush and they said they didn't expect anyone would start queuing until after midday! the last gig I went to was Gackt and people had been moved on for camping outside the venue, so they came back at midnight on the day to start queuing.

The longest queue i've ever heard of was when Yoshiki posted on his myspace about some fans for an American Jrock gig queuing 2 weeks in advance O_O

I bet pretty much all of those fans were girls. It was when I went to NY. All fangirls. I was going to queue around midday but ended up going to comic con again until 3pm, walked to the gig and got some food, started queueing at around 4pm, when we did get in we went straight to the merch stall.. and we STILL got a great view. I didnt want to be too close to the front, you cant move at all and you get pushed around too much. I prefer to stay back a bit so i've got a great view but still got breathing room :D
