Orix Playoff Tickets
I'm an Orix fan so I'm obviously new to buying playoff tickets in Japan. Does anybody know how to go about getting them? From a convenience store, at the Dome, etc.?

I went to the Orix vs. Lotte game a couple weeks ago at the Dome and the staff had no idea when tickets would go on sale. Does anyone have any info?

Tickets go on sale at various ticketing agencies on October 8.

The tickets apparently go on sale a few days before the game.

Fan club members can buy their tickets from October 7 and general sales start on October 8. It appears though you can only buy tickets at the stadium starting from October 8, and if you want to buy them at the conbini over the counter, you'll have to wait until October 9. The end date for each game is the day before, so, for example, the first game is is on October 11, so the sales stop on October 10 or until they are completely gone.

Also, if the games sell out before hand, there will be no walk up tickets whatsoever. At least this is my understanding of it. If I messed up on translating this, the official page for info (in Japanese only of course) is here.

On a side note, I will probably be heading down to Osaka and will be partaking in all three since these games take place over a 3 day weekend. If anyone else is going, let me know and let's meet up.

Oh, it also should be known that all seats for these games are reserved seats. It's different from the normal regular season games where all of the outfield seats are unreserved.

I'd most likely be up for going to at least one of the games, so let me know. You might have my e-mail address from our Kanto get-together last time. But I'll have to check my class schedule and see which days work for me.
