How can I buy a ticket for an event in Osaka next month or in the following months?
Tickets for Tokyo events are usually available about a month before the event, but the on-sale date varies by genre. Here are some tips on how to buy tickets several months in advance.
1. Buy when the general sale starts - one month before the event
Usually, the general on-sale starts one month before the event in Japan. If the event has more than one performance date, they will usually release all tickets on the first performance date.
Concert tour or play: Tickets go on sale one month before the first night of the entire performance.
Sports events with a regular season (e.g. baseball and football): Each month will have a general onsale for the next month.
Another note is that music festivals/ cocerts would start selling tickets much earlier.This is just a guideline and the actual date depends on the event, so make sure to check the official event website for a specific date.

2. Use Chiketto for ticket sales information
Chiketto lists available live event tickets by genre (i.e. concert, k-pop, music festival, baseball, soccer, martial arts, sumo, kabuki, noh and kyogen) and also by month (this month and next month) so you can get an idea of what events are available. No need to go to each organiser's website!
3. Buy tickets before the general public
There are 2 ways to buy tickets before the general public. As you may know, music festivals in general are an exception as they usually offer an early bird system (i.e. tickets go on sale early to the general public and if you buy early, tickets are cheaper!)
1. Buy tickets at the official advance sale (or lottery):
Usually for popular events, they have an exclusive period for their regular fans, called fan club members. They pay an annual fee in advance (i.e. around 5000 JPY per year - some have a monthly plan) and get earlier access to the pre-sale. If the events are very popular, they will organise a lottery process (i.e. you apply for a ticket and only a selected number of applicants can win tickets). Unfortunately, this process is often only available in Japanese.
2. Presale (first come, first served) from a ticketing company:
After the original fan club pre-sale period, there is usually a basic first-come, first-served pre-sale period run by Japanese ticketing companies. This period exists because of the competition of each local ticketing company - so it is hard to guess which companies will have this period. Usually, they will charge more commission (around 500-1000 JPY per ticket excluding ticket printing fee, shipping fee and payment gateway fee) from a ticket buyer during this time, in exchange for offering a lower commission to the event organiser,

4. Ask for Tour Package Tickets
Tour Package Tickets give you the earliest access to tickets, although this does not apply to all event tickets. The price of the tickets is usually a bit more (sometimes a lot more) expensive, but often you can secure seats earlier (sometimes with a guide) and some of them accept cancellations (usually Japanese event organisers do not accept ticket cancellations) - please read the terms and conditions of each ticket offered.
