Love Live! Overseas Ticket & Hotel Packages
Love Live! has sometimes offered ticket & hotel packages to overseas fans for their concerts, starting from Aqours 4th LoveLive! in 2018.
You get a ticket to the concert as well as a hotel stay (in one from a pre-determined list of hotels; you don’t get to choose) for the days around then. Participants are selected by lottery.
Here is a list of them. (Link to the spreadsheet if it's hard to read here.)
FAQs
- Will there be an overseas ticket pack for [event name]?
- There is usually no confirmation until applications are open. (The Yohane, NijiGaku 6th, and Aqours Finale ones were announced further ahead of time, though.)
- How much would it cost?
- The most recent one (as of the time of writing) is for the LL Asia Tour concert in Yokohama. It costs up to 84-90k JPY for one day of the concert and 106-112k JPY to participate in both days.
- What are the odds of winning?
- For most LL concerts where the overseas ticket pack was offered, the odds were pretty good (but not guaranteed). They do not usually announce the number of slots available, so it's hard to tell until results are announced.
- When do they open applications?
- Historically, applications have opened after 1-2 rounds of the Japan-based lottery, 1-3 months before the event.
- When do results come out?
- For the last few overseas ticket packs, results were sent about 1-2 weeks after applications opened.
- Can I apply and win on both e+ and the overseas ticket pack?
- Technically you should not do this. (But there is no evidence I have seen that they do any cross-check between the two systems.)
- When do you get the tickets if you win?
- You pick them up at the venue on the day of the first session you have a ticket to.
- What are the seats like?
- Usually pretty good, and on average better than tickets from the first lottery on e+. But occasionally there are seats that are mediocre or not good—for example, some got the back of the arena at the Genjitsu no Yohane concert.
- I paid for my ticket, but can I cancel it/get a refund if I can’t go?
- Yes. There is a chart showing how much you can get refunded if you cancel within a certain time period.
