So any hope of finding tickets to Ghibli in late march? Didn't think it would be sold out so early but according to this it is:

As far as I am aware, in-country purchases (made exclusively at Lawson convenient stores, as opposed to international purchases which can be done online) only open on the 10th of the preceding month. I think the idea is to let tourists grab tickets when planning their trip, without screwing over people actually living in Japan or being booked out for months in advance.

So if you have a contact in Japan or will be there yourself around February 10th you should have no problem getting tickets for late March.

edit for clarity: There are two separate pools of tickets, so the foreign purchasable tourist ones can be totally sold out while in-country tickets still have availability.

Ah sweet. I'll check back around then and see if any kind soul in the thread wants to hook me up. I would reward you in any non-goony way they see fit of course. Or in a goony way hell it's the ghibli museum!!

So is anyone in Tokyo willing to pick me up two Ghibli tickets and mail them to me? I'll paypal in advance and throw in a extra $20 so you can grab a meal or some beers on me. I was told they go on sale the 10th day of the previous month and can be bought at Lawson's. We'll be in Tokyo in late march.

I was going to buy N'ex tickets now for our arrival in Tokyo Saturday 3/19 and I read this on the website (http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/nex/tickets.html):

"When traveling from Narita Airport, it is recommended that travelers purchase their N'EX tickets after arriving."

Is it safe to assume there will be seats available?

Oh and on a food related note. If you go to one of the crazy busy ramen places can you take it to go and not use up a seat? I have a feeling I will not be popular with my crappy chop stick skills and would prefer to not be rushed.
