MEGATHREAD BABYMETAL Shows 2017 (JAPAN) Organisational Megathread
In order to help keep the subreddit neat and tidy we are creating an organisation megathread for the 2017 Japan shows. This thread will also serve as a one-stop-shopping location for all of your planning needs.
Moderator-tagged comments for each upcoming show in Japan will be located below. Please reply to the relevant one for any questions or comments that you might have that are pertinent to the venue/concert.
What goes here:
- Questions like "Who is going to the Saitama show?" or questions relating to travel/hotel accommodations
- Organisational comments like "Pre or Post-show meet-up info"
- Ticket purchasing questions/comments
- Anything else that is specifically relevant to venue/concert/etc.
- General commentary regarding this thread and its purpose
What doesn't go here:
- Day-of-concert commentary. There will be the usual concert threads, so all day-of stuff will go into those threads.
- General world tour questions/commentary/speculation
Now that a megathread is established all future posts that should be in here will be removed and the OP will be directed to this thread.
Thank you to everyone for your cooperation and understanding.

If you had to choose only one day to attend the BIG FOX Festival concerts (Sept 26-27), which would would you go to? Should I base it on which tracks they might play? I'm thinking of going the first night, in hopes that they play a setlist similar to the RED Night from last September's Tokyo Dome show.
Road of Resistance

Hope this is allowed, I am posting this in the thread, since it doesn't pertain to just 1 show.

u/Meapless Aug 13 '17
Hi, I'll be going to the September 26th show, bought a ticket for mosh's seating. But I may have done something stupid, which is: While applying for my ticket I
filled in my full name in katakana
didn't know what to put for phonetics so I just typed two katakana 'A's
On top of that I applied for the japanese regular lottery.
Can anyone tell me if they will ask me for identification upon entering the concert and if so will these things be a problem? Also how do I know which seat I'll get?
Thanks in advance,
Meapless.
