Please first read the article here.
T/N: Please read the article from bottom to top.
A: Everyone is so kind, so I will go to sleep! Good night………
Q: Mr. Matsuura, you must be tired. Very tired. The hardships of the CEO should be beyond imagination. What we can do is only cheer for you. So I will support you always. And thank you always for your great efforts.
A: The job as a CEO should be such. I’m OK.
Q: Before accepting new applicants, please inform us of the information for refund (T/N: of the Bigeast). You previously said that you would announce the details by the end of this month. It may be necessary to receive new members, but please take care of us, the current members, too.
A: I am sorry that we are being a little bit late.
A: Let me say it again.. The time (T/N: when the news of the fan event was announced), we did not know of the future of Bigeast. And we did not know if we can say Bigeast, because this is not an event for the 5. It was a complicated time, and we had to cancel the fan meeting, so we gave the Bigeasts the first priority.
T/N: Please read from bottom to top.
A: We will accept new members soon, so please wait awhile.
A: The time (T/N: when the news of the fan event was announced), we did not know of the future of Bigeast. And we did not know if we can say Bigeast, because this is not an event for the 5. It was a complicated time, and we had to cancel the fan meeting (T/N: scheduled to be held in Jan). Can you understand that we are not ignoring those who are not Bigeasts?
Q: Isn’t that against the fan club’s data terms?
A: No, since we are controlling the personal information as in the terms, as avexgroup.
Q: a-ticket has obtained member information from the Bigeast, and referred the data with their member information.
A: We were not able to apply through Bigeast, then, why do you know you chose from the Bigeasts?
A: I may have kept quiet, but I could not do so.
A: Please ask @TOHOSHINKISTAFF for details.
A: I am not asking all of you to understand our efforts and risks in order to hold this live…
T/N: Please read from bottom to top.
A: We cannot do anything, that’s why we are in trouble.
Q: You are always saying that your feelings are the same as the fans. So you should understand our fans’ impatient and heartbreaking feelings..
A: If I do not understand, I would not have come out in this place.
A: The 90% of the total ticket sales.
Q: Maybe the fans will understand if they hear the 90% story… I recently became a fan…I could not become a Bigeast. Please accept new members.
A: We are discussing the matter over. Please wait awhile.
Q: I do not think things will straighten up by just writing “Please do not resell”. If you could not put restrictions, are you saying that pure fans can only sit and watch the whole situation?
A: There is no legal binding force.
A: Don’t you trust me…I am answering to all of your questions, which I could have ignored…
A: I’ve heard that 90% of the tickets were for Bigeasts.
A: We have checked with the Bigeast office.
Q: So, are you saying that there are resellers even in Bigeasts?
A: Yes..sad to say, but we guess so.
T/N: Please read from bottom to top.
A: I’ve heard that 90% of the tickets were for Bigeasts.
A: We have checked (T/N: the ticket applicants) with our Bigeast list.
Q: So, are you saying that some of the Bigeasts are resellers?
A: Sad to say… I think some are resellers.
A: I am not talking only about the advanced ticket reservation, but in total, the 90% of the ticket distribution is for Bigeasts.
A: The set is planned for the dome, so it is difficult to perform in other places.
Q: You are saying that you want to have additional concerts, but there is no place…
A: I am thinking about using the Ustream.
A: If I can limit the Yahoo auction, I would have done well in advance……
A: This time, the 90% of the tickets were for Bigeasts.
A: This time, 90% for Bigeasts..
A: I want to have additional concerts, but there is no place.
A: I am not involved in details of the ticket sales, but I’ve checked with the related sections.
T/N: Please read from bottom to top.
T/N: Excuse me for writing directly into the article. The ticket results for the dome event in June was announced yesterday. Many of the Bigeasts lost the lot, but, on the other hand, there were hundred of tickets in the auction sites. We, the true Bigeasts were very depressed by the situation, thus, great numbers of messages were sent directly to max’s twitter.

wow…bigeast are really annoyed by the situation…so many tweets….
90% were given to bigeast as priority becos of the cancellation of the fan meeting earlier in jan but yet the many resellers are actually bigeast themselves..now that i think of it, just how true a fan are the bigeast? auctioning over us$1000 is really too much…soo many ppl trying to get ticket to really go and see the boys and there are ppl like that…just wondering has this happen to cassies b4?

ohhh my..those people who are auctioning the tickets for a very expensive price are like really bad..so does is means that every bigeast member can purchase more than one ticket??

zOMG poor man…
Hope he wont get bothered more by Bigeast…
I mean…I know he’s nice, but it’s not his job to comfort every person in Bigeast. He has more important thing to do rather than receiving complain… Tohoshinkistaff can handle this…
Matsura-san fighting!!
I can’t believe those ppl who resell the tickets with silly price… Gosh… business does matter…*disappointed*
Hope Avex staff can handle the situation
Fighting

I hate people like that. Self-centered, miserly, greedy assholes who always try and gain something from every sensitive situation. All those people who are buying the tickets and then reselling them at ridiculous prices should go DIAF. They should be ashamed of themselves. How DARE they take advantage of sincere fans who just want to go and see the boys perform? How DARE they take advantage of their love and devotion? It’s people like this that make this world such a shitty place to live in. God, I don’t MEAN to be such a grouch and a pessimist, but this just pisses me off to no end.
I feel so bad for all those fans who got cheated, and for Matsuura-san for apologizing and trying to comfort the fans even though he did nothing wrong. It’s so kind of him.
(I know people have ranted and raved about this, but I haven’t yet and GDI I need to get it out of my system)

It is obvious that Avex is doing all they can to support Tohoshinki. Why aren’t fans more considerate when they talk to them?

People need to stop harassing the CEO about this problem. Scalpers are a part of life and studies have shown time and time again why it’s ineffectual and inefficient to have laws preventing the resale of tickets. There’s nothing to be done so either suck it up or complain to a friend or an online forum. I find it really childish and rude to complain to the CEO. I think Max is too accessible and needs to stop tweeting so much as well.
/end rant

Maybe if the tickets for Bigeast members had a code that only that Bigeast member has in order to be admitted to the concert through an identification card, maybe all this drama could have ended? That way, only the true fans would even consider going to the concerts since there’s is no way of refunding? But then again, that’s kind of delusional.
Overall, Max is having to deal with pissed-off Bigeast members, the fact that the tickets are going for $$$ is kind of sad and pisses me off. It’s sad how resellers are taking advantage of the fans who only wants to see the three members on stage again.

90% of the tickets already go to bigeast member.
But the total tickets is only around half of the official bigeast member number.
so only half of the bigeast can go then some of the people who didn’t get the tickets decide to bitchin’ about it to max.quite childish i’ll say to blame it on the ceo.
and the number of the reseller is actually quite small compare to the total tickets number.the previous post said there’re only around 276 reseller. 276:around 140.000=small
reseller are inevitable in this kind of industry.
that’s just sad.

I understand the fans’ frustration. But I really hope that they react more calmly to this as Matsuura-san is obviously making great effort to make this whole situation better.
Hope the fans will stop harassing him and instead give him the support he needs to solve this situation.
