[Mixi]

I don't have a smartphone, just a regular phone that doesn't even have a touch screen. I printed out my ticket. Hope the rain or spilled water won't ruin it.

That's what pockets are for.

about 2.5D's cool looking studio

2.5D is a social TV station aiming to reconstruct new Japanese pop culture in the 2010′s by collecting creative sources and entertainment from the Internet.

In September, 2012, 2.5D studio relocated to PARCO in Shibuya.

Live streaming culture is now transmitted worldwide from Shibuya.
2.5D’s mission is to spread Japanese creativity from the source and make it visible to the world, not just the image of “Cool Japan” that was strategically promoted as a part of national policy.
2.5D is an actual studio that progresses day by day by having a real space where audiences can view events, while they are also streaming everyday as a ‘social TV station’ on the Internet, creating a more three-dimensional package to their presentation.

You could fold it neatly and put it in a zip type sandwich bag.

And yes, lots of people do the phone display thing, but I would urge those people, especially those who are traveling from a distance, to bring a backup physical printout of your ticket. You don't want to be that one person whose phone drops onto the subway tracks, or whose battery suddenly dies, and now, oops, no proof of purchase. But if you really want to go purely digital, make sure that you've set things up so that you will be able to easily locate your eticket, even from a friend's phone. For example, you could move the email with the ticket into its own subfolder in your mail account, so it will be right there if you have to look for it.

In case people are going the smartphone route with the ticket... The email sent a PDF of the ticket for you with specific instructions to print it out and bring it to the venue. It says, "You can now get your tickets on your Smartphone with the AXS Mobile App presented by Verizon! Easily share tickets with friends and use your mobile tickets to enter the venue. Get it in the App Store or on Google Play."

I don't know if it's crucial that you have your ticket on the app rather than just opening up the email attachment on your phone, since I've never used my smartphone for any ticketing purposes, but just something to keep in mind in case it matters.

Any addition to this? I didn't see any clear indication in the rest of the thread. Also, I was thinking that perhaps we can eventually make a separate thread in the members-only area for discussing more private info just so not every random lurker can see our meetup plans and details like "I'm the Asian girl in the black shirt" or whatever.

Went ahead and made a list of JPloppers that have announced that they'll be going!
(Please let me know if I missed anyone!)

Funny enough, I was totally going to ask the exact same thing!
Also, I won't be on 10/7, the day before the concert, until a bit past 9pm EST, so hopefully we'll have plans set up before then...
