    Fish Tank members can now pre-order tickets for Buck-Tick's upcoming autumn tour! We have received new information concerning ticket pre-orders. Here is a quick overview: your Fish Tank magazine has the full details.

    Overseas Fish Tank members can now order tour tickets in one of the following 2 ways:

    If you are unable to browse websites in Japanese, you can order tickets using the old method. Refer to your Fish Tank magazine p.20 for the tour schedule.

    * Every member is allowed 4 tickets/concert with the exception of the Shibuya C.C. Lemon Hall shows, October 27 and 28. The limit for those is 2 tickets per person.
    * When calculating the total for your tickets: you will need to add a 700yen fee, as indicated on your printout. The fee is on a PER CONCERT basis (and not per ticket). If you buy 2 tickets for the same show, you pay the fee ONLY ONCE.

    Here we detail the ordering process: ENGLISH   SPANISH   FRENCH


    NEW PRE-ORDER METHOD

    If you are able to browse websites in Japanese and are able to pay with one of the accepted credit cards, you can order tickets online through the Pia website. Pages 19-24 in your Fish Tank magazine detail the ordering process.

    To order tickets online, you will need THE 4-DIGIT CODE that came printed on your Fish Tank envelope. Do not throw the envelope out or lose the code!!!

    * The ordering period is July 3 to July 13.
    * The following credit cards are accepted: Pia, JCB, NICOS, MASTER, VISA, Diners, AEON, UFJ, and UC.
    * Do not place the same order using both methods. In the event of a double order, the order made online will remain valid while the one made using the old method will be cancelled.
    * If you do not get tickets, your credit card will be refunded.
    * If you order tickets online, you will have to pick them up at the concert venue, the day of the concert itself. Please bring your Fish Tank member's card and your passport.

    We wish you all good luck!


    NUEVO MÉTODO DE PRE-COMPRA

    Si puedes entrar a páginas en japonés y puedes pagar con las tarjetas de crédito aceptadas, puedes ordenar boletos en línea a través del sito Pia. Ñas páginas 19-24 de tu revista Fish tank explican en detalle el proceso.

    Para ordenar boletos en línea, necesitarás el código de 4 dígitos impreso en el sobre de tu última Fish Tank. No tires el empaque o tu código se perderá!

    * El periodo de compra es del 3 de Julio al 13 de Julio
    * Las siguientes tarjetas de crédito son aceptadas: Pia, JCB, NICOS, MASTER, VISA, Diners, AEON, UFJ y UC.
    * No realices el mismo pedido usando los dos métodos. En casi de orden doble, la orden hecha en línea seguirá vigente, mientras que la hecha con el método antiguo será cancelada.
    * Si no obtienes los boletos, recibirás el reembolso a tu tarjeta de crédito.
    * Si ordenas los boletos en línea, tendrás que recogerlos en la sede del concierto, el mismo día del concierto. Por favor recuerda llevar tu credencial de Fish Tanker y tu pasaporte.

    Buena suerte!
