hmm..I think you're not right!! absolutely..O.o where are you from??? (sorry if I asked rude ^^)
we created even facebook event to see how many of us on FACEBOOK ONLY! want to go on concert 100%..on HUNGARY..we thought it's best place for east europe they could come, as in Hungary already many japanese artists were having concerts in Budapest as MIYAVI, D'espairsRay, Girugamesh, KOKIA, Dir en Grey, Versailles, MUCC etc.....we for 4 days reached 630 people who will definitely go and 180 people who will maybe go if they really would come.. and still 1200 waiting for answer..

and many MORE of them who don't have facebook..
I'm from Northern-Eastern Europe, Estonia.
Well the event shows that those 630 people would come if a) they had the money at the moment, b) if the time would fit (they wouldn't have to work/do an exam on that day and c) if there wasn't a better concert at the time etc. Yes, there might be some more people who don't have Facebook, but still. I would guess X Japan could sell about 600-700 tickets in that area, maybe 1000 with good promotion. But since it's further away from the rest of the shows it might not be cost-efficient enough.
where did you get that those 630 peoples will go if they would have money?..O.o
they WILL go as they are ATTENDING..so it's obviously they have money for Budapest's concert.
and those who maybe would attend those 188 they maybe because of money..
Estonia..hmm..it's really far away from here..and from Estonia I don't know anyone who loves X..sorry...@.@
but as I said you gusessed wrong, as for now minimum is 1000 attendings. so it will be more for sure..as you saw on facebook only 600. and those who don't have facebook they are in huge nubmber.
and I don't know how you get conclusion about those 600 who are attending, that they are in question because of money..? O.o
and with good promotion ..it will be about 1500 peoples for sure.
as I know here peoples and countries..
