Hello fellow eighters, 

Long story short, I was supposed to attend the Kanjani8 show in august, in Tokyo, but I learnt that apparently, a GIFT from my mother is not “enough” to go to the show, since the ticket will be at her name not mine, and the security may check the name on the ticket this time. So basically, my mother bought two tickets for my sister and I but for the moment, it seems that she will have to go with one of us, while the other one… well, won’t. 

I’m seriously pissed off since obviously, I can’t go to Japan every year and this show may be the first – and last – one I’ll attend. It means a lot to me and I’m really worried. 

So if you can tell me more about the whole thing, or if you know people who have tickets and are alone and willing to go with me (I’ll pay my ticket, of course), please tell me. 

Thank you in advance and sorry for the inconvience. 

I personally don’t think the name would be a problem ! Especially if it is a foreign name, but if really something happens, you could always show your ID, they will see the last name is the same ?

I went to the show in Nagoya Dome today, with a ticket with a Japanese name on it, and really, they don’t look at the ticket at all ! They took the ticket, scanned it (since it is with QR code), gave me a paper with my seat, and here we are ! 10 secondes lol

The same happened last December, again with a Japanese name on my ticket, and they didn’t look at it at all ! I don’t know for Tokyo Dome, but they just want to let people in I think ! Both times I went for the opening time, I just waited for a few minutes, to be lost in the middle of the crowd lol 

Your ticket is not a resale from the internet, so I would say there is almost zero risk of being rejected ?
