Has anyone heard when tickets will go on sale? I have been googling daily but no info found yet
Tickets
- Thread starter Alextrusova
- Start date
2014 Saitama World, pre sale was late Nov, general sale was mid Dec.
I researched a little bit, and it is totally different system and probably you can chose the level of ticket, but you won't be able to chose the seat number.
Japanese ticket site usually require to have a Japanese phone number to register and sometimes credit card issued in Japan.
All non Japan resident visitor have to buy ticket from special web site (same as GPF Nagoya)
That is all I can say now. Will see...
Let me know someone who's been to 2014 if I'm saying something wrong.

Were those sales for the separate day by day tickets or the all-event passes? Because you'd think (based on sales from the years since) that the all-event tickets would come out waaay in advance and not less than six months before the event
I think you're correct on the other things, tho I couldn't find any info on when sales the sales started... So anyone that went in 2014 and has any recollections, please share!
Looks like ISU Japan announced the detail of ticket sales on early October back in 2014.
Had to be a member of some Japanese ticket sale site or club member of sponsor TV site to be eligible for purchasing pre sale tickets.
6 level of tickets were available but premium seats were sold only at pre sale.
All event tickets had only 4 levels, premium/A/B/C, no all event tickets for lower price level (D/E)
All event tickets were included pre event practice sessions at main rink.
All Event tickets did not include Gala, you had to purchase separately.
There were no single event tickets, which mean, tickets were sold by the day, not by the event,
like Day1, Day2, Day3, Day4, Gala.
I don't know how they plan to sell this time, but they don't start sell tickets 10 month before like US or Canadian events.
I hope at least we can hear some information near future.
Near by hotels are fully booked already, but venue is co-located with train station.
20-30min ride to downtown Tokyo, you will find variety of accommodations.

I've emailed ISU a bunch of times asking them to please post ticket information. Now that the GP Assignments are out hopefully they'll start giving ticket info for major upcoming 2018/2019 Events e.g. Worlds.
I'm going to buy my plane tickets as soon as I find a good deal... will worry about accommodations after I get some WC tix.

Good luck with that. No amount of money is ever going to get you a seat in front of the judges.
And chances are no amount of money is going to get you seats directly behind the judges, either; at Worlds, those are often reserved for VIPs, IIRC.

Someone on twitter posted a link to a new website for Worlds, but there's nothing there other than some info we already know-- the dates and that it's in Saitama. Hopefully they will add more info soon. At least they should let us know when tickets will go on sale. I'm really hoping to go, but don't want to book a hotel and buy a plane ticket without being sure that I will have tickets.

If the NHK Trophy website is anything to go by - Japan will have a lottery offered 1st to those with Japan phone numbers. Tourists are not permitted to have Japanese phone contracts.
After the Japan lottery the All Events tickets will be offered and apparently the Sunday afternoon Exhibition Gala tickets are sold separately.

Can anyone who has been to Saitama 2014 or any other Japanese competition say if it is possible to get a seat in front rows for a foreigner, or these seats are for Japanese only? I am prepared to pay every amount of money, I just want to sit in the middle front rows on the long side of the rink

So basically we can't resell the ticket if we can no longer attend?
ETA: nvm. I think I found my answer :think:
I missed the ticket sale
Meaning that I couldn't buy from others who are unable to go?
