Canā€™t see the VIP option no matter how many times I try. Guess theyā€™re sold out of VIP passes?

Damn,Vulgar would be great.

cries in east coast broke mode T_T

Same :confused:

Man that was short lived excitement. Only 2 shows and both on the West Coast. No way can I afford thatā€¦ Hopefully they announce some East Coast shows, (And hopefully in Boston)

Hereā€™s hoping theyā€™ll come a bit closer. I just canā€™t justify LA after this huge trip.

Edit: Aw, what the hell. Bought GA for both just in case

Iā€™ll be flying in from the east coast, fingers crossed this turns into a bigger tour so I donā€™t have to lol

For real homie. I just sorta ran out my travel-for-concerts budget for the near future as well after going to Michigan last month for La Dispute

Only 2 dates? Both in LA? They sure they didnā€™t mean to name this tour ā€œWHO THE HELL IS THIS FOR?ā€???

Apparently, only west coasters.

But yeah, Iā€™m wondering myself what this recent LA obsession is with bands. Unless thatā€™s all they want because itā€™s what Yoshiki keeps hyping up.

Youā€™d think that with US artist visa pricing the way it is, they would either stay away entirely or go all in and do a real North American tour to make all of those fees worth it. Doing just two nights in one city feels like a waste of visas.

Honestly, fuck their management for announcing this with no warning at all. How am I supposed to plan an international trip in 2 hours? Missing out on VIP because the ticketmaster UI is such sopping wet shit makes me all the more bitter.

Itā€™s because people support and shell out for bullshit like this that they keep pulling the rug out and taking advantage of their fan base. Some time to prepare wouldā€™ve been nice.

Itā€™s the West Coast ā€“ much easier to travel back to Japan from LA vs. NYC. Also if this is a one-off thing, theyā€™re avoiding the headache of traveling across the US (a rather big country) with staff, renting busses, etc.

Technically speaking, you have 6 months to figure it out. Though I largely agree, I only saw this was going on because I happened to check JrockOne yesterday.

yeah just easier for groups and staff to travel from asia to LA. experienced this with kpop groups i used to go see, just bit the bullet and traveled cross country to LA or SF when they announced dates.

Looks like all the presale Tix are gone, hoping General sale has some VIP left or atleast more GA for Day 2
