So I see the sign at family mart today near Ikego about Bon Jovi coming to Tokyo for two days at the end of november. I checked out the website for the tickets and I am so lost on how the japanese sell tickets here. Looks like the window for purchase was back in July? Was I wrong? Can someone please, please fill me on this whole process b/c I would just love to see Bon Jovi in concert if at all possible. TY

Check out this link.

Make sure you translate on the top.

I don't see a place to get it translated to english

Hmm...maybe it's my software that offers it.

Let me see if I can translate and copy and paste.

so can you purchase these tickets at a convenient store? I don't understand the whole lottery system and buy so far ahead online...so much different than in the US.
Thanks for the translation...

The best advice I can offer for the convenience idea is to walk in to a convenience store. Look behind the counter (usually up high) there is a posted space with events that they are selling tickets for...Point and say "Bon Jovi" if you see the Bon Jovi poster.

Looking at the website posted below it appears that you can reserve a ticket by calling that phone number listed, but it will be in Japanese only. Ask a Japanese friend or co-worker to assist ya!
