Tigers Tickets?

Discussion in the Ask the Commish forum
Tigers Tickets?
I will be in Osaka from August 26-29 when the Giants are in town to play the Tigers. The games will probably be sold out, so can anybody tell me where the "ticket shops" are located? My Japanese is limited and I don't want to deal with scalpers.

Thanks

- I don't want to deal with scalpers.

That's a good start.

Ticket shops are numerous. Where are you staying while you're in town? If it's anywhere in the Umeda/Osaka Station area, you'll find plenty of ticket shops on the underground floors of Dai-1 through Dai-4 Buildings near Osaka/Umeda Stations.

But be careful: the underground shopping area is huge and labyrinthine, so be sure to ask for directions before you leave your hotel, and be prepared to get lost a few times. I've been here for a zillion years and that place still baffles me.

Good luck.

A very good one is just across the road from Takashimaya on the right hand corner, at the entrance to the arcade. Their prices are very reasonable.

FYI: Takashimaya being a department store in Osaka's Namba area.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I will definitely check out the underground shops since I'll probably stay in the Umeda/Osaka Station area.
