Sorry, I was unclear. Most of Fantasy on Ice tickets are sold through Pia (I think they're a credit card operator? And it does need a Japanese phone number and credit card), but a number of "best seats" are sold in bulk to a Japanese figure skating fans club, Crystal, and to tour operator JTB. When Yuzuru Hanyu is part of the cast, usually there's no ticket sold with Lawson, but this year in the Sendai stop, due to an exceptional concourse of circumstances, some (remote seats) tickets were sold via Lawson (they can be bought in convenience stores and in a paper form) in the last days. There were even a few, for the Friday show, at the rink itself.Oh, interesting, I didn't realize Fantasy on Ice tickets are bought in bulk and resold by travel agents like JTB. This info seems more relevant to the Fantasy on Ice general thread at The Edge than Deniss' fan fest, but interesting info nonetheless. From my experience with other Japanese ice shows I buy them on my own directly from the official seller like Pia or Lawson (well, individual friends in Japan helped me buy them, but they're nothing like travel agents) and arrange the transportation and accommodation on my own.
I'm sure Niigata locals will have no problem buying the tickets though! The ICE (post-Mao edition) has stopped there in 2019 and 2022 and it's a stop they consistently sell out even during weekdays, they even sell out the tickets sold in D-day as they can release more seats after the equipment are settled (usually those new tickets are seats previously reserved for equipment). I'm sure Fantasy on Ice won't have any issue with that.


for both. I can envision him doing a very soulful Hallelujah! A new choreographer will be good for him. I look forward to it!
