Does anbody know if the pool of tickets on etix for overseas fans would be the same ones available to Japanese fans? In other words, do we have any chance in hell of out-clicking an entire county for them? Australia has unbelievably slow internet.

cohkaix, how did you find the NHK website? I've been on the lookout for outside of Japan GPF tickets, which I believe may go on sale in September e-tix.
I cannot find either the NHK Trophy website, or, the event on the e-tix website. Hoping you can shed some light on this for me. Thanks!

The NHK Trophy 2017 official website is here: http://www.nhk-trophy2017.jp/
(Click on the 'Ticket', and it brings you to info about ticketing. Note the icon on the top right-hand side "purchase ticket from abroad". It brings you to the e-tix site!)
NB: I haven't seen any info about GPF yet. But I guess the order follows so that NHK Trophy would be announced earlier and later on GPF!
Thank you so much, this information is invaluable!
Yeah i managed to choose a date but before i could add tickets to the cart they were all taken. You have a 15 minute window to purchase tickets once you've added them to your cart, so when it said 'tickets not currently available' that was probably when the all the tickets were in carts but not actually sold yet. :/ I suspect bots, no way people click that fast
Has anyone here actually managed to buy tickets off the site (previously) and not from a reseller? Also has anyone successfully bought and used a ticket from the reseller? The rules on the website say it's not allowed, but do they actually check at the venue?

Same here, on 10:00am, i manage to pick the date, chose the ticket type and "tickets not currently available" show up... i think reseller who are using programs to purchase ticket might got it all. ( apparently that's very common in Japan for popular concert ticket)
I tried to refresh the page for another 25 mins, and all ticket type were sold out by 10:25am.
I haven't tried to get a ticket from reseller in Japan, but my fd who is fan of Japanese boy band told me that she get ticket from reseller very often, the ticket does work, as long as the seller don't put the picture of the ticket on the reselling website (coz event host could easily disable the ticket, if they see the exact seat number and the barcode.)

I managed to get a ticket only for SP. I don't know how and I was trying other days at the same time on different devices - even had other people try for me - and everything in every category and every seating class was unavailable to me from the start.
Regarding reselling, if you can find someone who bought a ticket through the foreign sale I think it would be fine. My name is printed on the ticket quite small up the top and away from the barcode to be scanned. It says nothing about having to show ID in the list of prohibited things underneath. I don't think they would bother trying to check ID anyway. I don't know what Japanese tickets will look like, though.
I will be looking into resellers, too, but so far haven't found a way to get resale tickets without a Japanese credit card or bank account. If anyone has any ideas please let us know!

A popular ticket resale site in Japan is ticketcamp.net. They're really trying to move to digital tickets that you access through an app and using your phone number so I think there's going to be a lot less paper tickets this year being sold.:/
Thanks, I just looked it up and there are already tons of requests for tickets and none are even listed for sale yet
Also it looks like you need a jp mobile number to post a request, so I'm out of luck for now.
