Thank you all for sharing but I am still confused. Is it common to have sales through draws before the official ticket sale date on 20th Sept ? And how can overseas fan like myself participate since the English website only shows the info for the sale on the 20th ? Would appreciate if someone can advise me so that I would be more prepared the next time.
BTW, where can I purchase the tickets through auctions (for info only as definitely I cant pay Y120,000!) ?
Many big events in Japan have lottery drawings prior to the general sales date and this is not limited to figure skating. Concerts for popular artists are also the same, though some of them may only be open to fan club members.
As an overseas fan, you will have to wait for general sales through the English website unless you have friends residing in Japan who can help you ballot for tickets. Places such as pia and e-tix, which were both used for NHK, require a Japanese address and phone number. E-tix (Japanese site) does not accept foreign credit cards as I've learned the hard way, but pia does as well as Lawson.
I'm not sure where you can purchase tickets via auction so hopefully someone can help with that?
