cohkaix, how did you find the NHK website? I've been on the lookout for outside of Japan GPF tickets, which I believe may go on sale in September e-tix.
I cannot find either the NHK Trophy website, or, the event on the e-tix website. Hoping you can shed some light on this for me. Thanks!
The NHK Trophy 2017 official website is here: http://www.nhk-trophy2017.jp/
(Click on the 'Ticket', and it brings you to info about ticketing. Note the icon on the top right-hand side "purchase ticket from abroad". It brings you to the e-tix site!)
NB: I haven't seen any info about GPF yet. But I guess the order follows so that NHK Trophy would be announced earlier and later on GPF!
Hey! Has anyone managed to get tickets? I can't work out what's going on. It says buy tickets then on the next screen it says tickets not currently available?
Yeah i managed to choose a date but before i could add tickets to the cart they were all taken. You have a 15 minute window to purchase tickets once you've added them to your cart, so when it said 'tickets not currently available' that was probably when the all the tickets were in carts but not actually sold yet. :/ I suspect bots, no way people click that fast
Has anyone here actually managed to buy tickets off the site (previously) and not from a reseller? Also has anyone successfully bought and used a ticket from the reseller? The rules on the website say it's not allowed, but do they actually check at the venue?

Are there other big resale sites in addition to yahoo auctions jp?
A popular ticket resale site in Japan is ticketcamp.net. They're really trying to move to digital tickets that you access through an app and using your phone number so I think there's going to be a lot less paper tickets this year being sold.:/
