A japanese CD costs 2500Yen (US$21 AUS$29)
Concert tickets are the big one. The very least you'll pay to see a band in Japan is 5500Yen (US$46 AUS$63)
I just paid 6500Yen for my White Stripes ticket.

That's why it's so profitable for a band to break Japan.
I spoke to The Roots when they came over & they told me they lose money touring in Europe & make it back touring Japan.

prices sound about the same as here - full price for a new cd is AU$30.. concert tix can vary - i think sigur ros were about AU$75 (but i would have paid just about anything) but most more lowkey bands are anywhere from AU$45 - AU$75...

sometimes it seems a bit steep, but as you never know when they might come over again, its usually worth the dosh

bands must love places like japan & oz - captive (desperate) audiences who're pretty much guaranteed to pay the price...

Wow - I thought only Japanese concert tickets were that expensive.
Like you I'm happy to pay whatever it costs.
I saw Doves a few weeks back & just bought tickets for The Coral, White Stripes & Supergrass that's AUS$275 right there.

I plan to see all of the MMJ shows when they come to Japan. Money is not a concern when it comes to seeing your favourite band live!

god i want to come to japan now!!! sounds like you've got some great concerts lined up - the coral would be great (don't think they've ever toured here, would love to see them live) supergrass i saw, or actually only heard (got stuck behind some tall people at the gig, always happens) them a few years back at a tiny venue. just great. always good value

white stripes would be good, don't know about jw's taste in fashion tho ;)

Yer, finally coming out of a dry spell!
When I was in the UK I used to go London 2 or 3 times a month to see live bands - I sure do miss it.
But like you said, I've got some good gigs lined up!  :)

I like your taste in Music, Ali!

[ali]

same to you!

I've already bought my ticket for the Oslo show. I just couldn't stand the thought of not having secured one. Garage isnt the biggest venue, and this will be the show of the decade!

How do you buy tickets to tjis show. It says on the webpage that thay only sell from the bar directly??

Gonna se them in Stockholm but it would be so great to se them twice

Guess you understand this:

"BILLETTER:
Kjøpes kontant i baren på Garage Oslo eller kontakt Platebutikken Tiger på
tlf: 22207350 eller bestilling@tigernet.no . Kort og kontantkjøp.
Billetter kan ikke reserveres"

My ticket was bought directly in the bar. You could try to send a mail to the email-adress bestilling@tigernet.no. Perhaps they could send it to you or something.

see you in Malmo. your last appearance was the best live show i've seen so far..

looking forward to hear the new songs but I'd really like to hear "Phone went west" as the great finale!

France is ignored. It's not a surprise. Z is always an import here. No domestic issue so far. It's a shame because Z had nice reviews and national broadcast.

 :'( :'(

im very glad to see they're finally coming over here, but no dates in holland? aint that a bit surprising?

[Easy Morning Rebel]

In two days I will have the ticket for the concert in Malmo in my hands! ;D
