Meanwhile, does anyone have any expertise to share on buying auctioned tickets, or using tickets that you didn't get/win yourself? I'm looking at Yahoo Japan auctions and I'm becoming extremely tempted to take on bids, but I'm highly concerned about auctioned tickets as they can be refused if discovered by Bamco or someone else similar. I just don't want to end up paying for an as-is ticket that becomes invalid without prior knowledge of what I can be getting myself into.
That's what I did. After every other service had some issue with acquiring these tickets, I settled with YJA.
The thing is, I won the bid, but I won't be able to pay for it until they receive the tickets, and that's about two weeks before the concert when the seller receives them and sends it out to them (I believe they already paid for it).
From there I have two options; ship express to my home in the U.S. or have them ship to the hotel I'm staying out. I leave a week before the concert dates so it's a bit of a gamble even if shipped the fastest route to my home, so I'll likely do the latter (that reminds me, I have to check with Hotel Gracery on that). YJA can also arrange a pick-up at their Tokyo office, just check with them on that through e-mail.
As for anyone finding out if our tickets are auctioned ones, I don't know. I won't say nothin' if you won't..

But yeah, if none if this falls through, I'll get take a few swigs and then try my luck at the grass field.
