Ticket war

Hi,

I have left this space for years and today, on whim, I decided to come back. With my current feeling, I feel that I should write it down somewhere, and here, is the best place, for me.

It started when Johnny's announced that Hey Say JUMP (Arashi's junior) will be having a concert in Taipei and I've been aiming to go since it is outside of Japan; hence, no membership needed. I consulted a good friend of mine who managed to get tickets for BTS concert earlier this year and she shared some tips with me. Of course I freaked out, thinking of the worst outcome possible -- not able to get the ticket.

So on the day itself, I registered on the website at 8.00 am but the selling only starts at 11 am. Around 10.55 am, I started to refresh the page again and again and sharp at 11, I clicked the 'buy ticket' button and was directed to the seat choosing page. OMG ! I was able to get in without queuing !!! I clicked on the seat that I've been aiming but to no avail, it was sold out. Quickly, the next option available and it was sold out as well. On my third trial, I was shaking nervously and alhamdulillah, I managed to proceed to the next page -- the payment page. I entered all the details required but it said my name was too long, so I had to fill it in again and clicked ENTER.

Then, the processing took about 5 minutes and I waited anxiously. My hands were cold. 5 minutes felt like forever. And.... SUCCESSFUL. That's it ! That's the word I wanted to see. I couldn't believe my eyes. I'm going to see them. I'm going to see Yabu, who I have crush on, in flesh ! I'm going to my first Jyanizu concert. I was in cloud nine. Still am. I don't think I would be able to get the ticket since everything was sold out in 10 minutes. /cry/

Already purchased my flight ticket there and I'm looking forward to see all 8 of them. Also, my virtual friends who are fans of these guys as well.

67 days until then.

Arashian first,
Nadi
