Calling to see if you hit for Johnny's tickets

Once you have joined the fanclub and applied for tickets, your next step is to wait. If you are on the fanclub E-mail list you will get an E-mail when it is time to call and see if you hit for concert tickets.

At that point it is all out war. Calling on the first two days that they release the news is hard. I have tried for 5 hours before. If you call at weird times (very early in the morning or during the work/school day) you can sometimes get through easy. Remember that the line is closed from 1 AM until 6 AM so you can't call then.

Before you call make sure you have the following things at the ready:

1. Something to write on/write with (in case you hit)
2. Your fanclub number
3. The phone number associated with that account

When you call, you will get one of two messages:
One starts "tadaima, taihen komiate imasu. shibaraku omate okakini...". That means that the line is busy and that you need to wait to call back. Or, hang up and keep trying, whichever you prefer.

The second message starts off by welcoming you to Navi-Dial. They will then transfer you to an automated system. This means that you got through!

Now that you have gotten through they will explain the cost of the system (it varies depending on the time you call, but if should be less than 100 yen per call (usually around 20-75 yen)) and that you must be a fanclub member.

They will list the artists, and you will need to select which group you are calling for. You do not need to listen to the entire message.
0 - Hey!Say! JUMP
1 - Shontentai
2 - SMAP
3 - TOKIO
4 - KinKi Kids
5 - V6
6 - Arashi
7 - Tackey & Tsubasa
8 - You&J (News, KAT-TUN, Kanjani8)

Enter the number for the fanclub followed by the number key (#)

The next thing you will hear is a confirmation. If the fanclub name is right, then push 1. If it is wrong, push 3.

Next you will need to enter your 8-digit fanclub number followed by the # key.
 example: 12345678#

Then you need to enter the last four digits of the phone number you signed up with, followed by the # key.
So, if my number is 080-1234-5678, then I would enter 5678#

The voice will tell you how many ballots you have to check.
For one ballot: Genzai kakunin dekiru chusen kekka wa ichi ken desu.

They will then tell you to enter 1 to check your results.

They will start by telling you the results of your ballot.  If you have more than one ballot, listen closely as they will tell you which sheet they are using.  It will start with your first choice listed on your ballot.
Anata no dai ichi kibou kouen kodo (your first choice here) no chusen kekka wo otsutae shimasu.


If you hit, they will start by telling you the kouen code (it is a five digit number, the number you put on the form when you applied for tickets, the first two are the month, the second two are the date and the last one is the show number for that day - so 06121, would be the first show on June 12).  **Note - this code may be different from your first choice and what they tell you when they say that you hit  LISTEN CAREFULLY**
They will then say the date and time of the concert (so, a 6 PM concert would be 18:00 or ju-hachi-ji, zero-pun). The last bit is how many tickets you got (a number followed by mai, so 4 tickets would be yonmai).They will repeat the information back to you.

There are two other messages you can get.

One: You missed.
The last time I got this message it was something like:
Chiketto wo tori suru koto ga dekimasendeshita. Gohenkin wo omachikudasai.  (Sadly you didn't get any tickets.  Please wait for your refund).


Second: You are calling too early.  Either you got the time to call wrong, or you didn't hit for your first choice and your second choice isn't ready yet (in which case you will have to call again).
That message should start with "Genzai chuusenchuu desu." (We are currently selecting the winners").


If you hit, tickets should arrive 2-3 weeks before the show.  Refunds usually come around that time as well.
