I concur. A ticket (or two, if you're feeling very generous) would be amazing.

Sh*t is crazy right now.

PLEASE. SOMEONE? ANYONE? MOTHER??

~~NVM. GOT THEM.~~

NVM. Can't make it.

Going to update the first post with a list of people planning to attend, which shows, and transportation method. PM me if you are willing to give up a ticket / are willing to offer transport to someone else / etc.

edit: Anyone up for a pre-show lunch / JPH!P Party? Plenty of eateries and shit around the theater.

I'm torn between "HELLS YES" and "oh God, if it's first-come-first-seated, I'll get shitty seats" *sigh*

Btw, I emailed them to ask if it was first-come-first-seated or if there was going to be a lottery system, but I haven't gotten a reply. Maybe everyone should email and then they'll post something?

Also, fyi, anyone expecting to see the cherry blossoms will probably be disappointed - due to our unseasonably warm weather, our peak is going to be the week before, so it might be looking kinda shitty by then.

So I read on s48/ebi48 that the Cherry Blossom Fest commented this on their twitter:

AKB48 tickets for Lincoln Theatre on March 27 are so popular, the system had to take a break! Stay tuned, it should be back up soon.

I don't think I'll be able to since I'll be coming from school.

When you guys have a location we can meet up then I can catch you there. Maybe I could make a Jphip sign since I don't have a shirt.

I'm planning to wear some of boykun's designs, or my JPHIP shirt, and I'll have JPHIP pins, and a JPHIP business card in a lanyard on.. so I might be easy to spot. I know some others will be doing similar.

We were talking about meeting at one of the many eateries around the theater, if possible. Especially keen on Quiznos or the chili place.

I was planning to grab some phone numbers, so we can help each other out & all

Add me on Twitter to, link is in my sig.

Also: be sure to use the #AKBDC hashtag on Twitter!

edit: does anyone know if we'll be allowed to take small bags into the theater?

boykun · « **Reply #50 on:** March 15, 2012, 10:22:44 PM »

I'm getting in DC about 01:00AM Tuesday with a few guys from New School Kaidan. Gonna get a hotel room just for the night(and shower lol), then probably head out to wander the downtown area around 08:00-09:00AM. The guys are most likely gonna head straight to the theater and line up, but I want to have that glorious lunch party with JPHiPsters and take pictures etc lol.

My flight back is at 06:00AM Wednesday morning, so if there are any plans after the concert I'd be most down to hang out. But I'd like to know how I can get back to the airport at least by 04:00AM.

Anyone know about camera policy? I'll be bringing a day pack but nowhere to store it if they don't allow bags inside.

Which airport - Reagan / DCA? There are 3 that are considered DC airports, although Reagan is the only one actually in DC.

Btw, the tickets are sold out again.

Ah, and out of towners - the metro in DC is not like, say, the subway in New York. It's closed from midnight until 5 am on the weekdays. Check wmata.com for more info.

boykun · « **Reply #52 on:** March 16, 2012, 12:20:53 AM »

will be flying out of Raegan. Taxi probably the only way out?

Kimuuu · « **Reply #53 on:** March 16, 2012, 03:00:24 AM »

noooooo There's a metro station right there at Reagan Nat'l Airport

Good question. I'll call them tomorrow and ask.

I'll be at the late show btw.

Hart · « **Reply #55 on:** March 16, 2012, 03:45:45 AM »

Haven't bought my bus tickets yet, but I'm planning to go to DC Monday afternoon and going back home noon on Wednesday.

btw I have a ticket for both shows.

Could you also ask if they know whether it will be first come first seated or if seats will be assigned at some point? I'm pretty sure it's the first, but want to be certain.

Amplifier · « **Reply #58 on:** March 16, 2012, 01:44:44 PM »

So for glowsticks, I have free 2-day shipping from Amazon. I'd be happy to do up an order for colors you guys would want, if you pitch me a few bones.

Cyalume seems to have good reviews, and relatively cheap sticks at that. Example One

Also: Some pink bracelets to rep JPH!P?

Any other brand suggestions? Color wants?

mode107 · « **Reply #59 on:** March 16, 2012, 05:03:46 PM »

Personal belongings: small bags + backpacks are allowed.

Seats: The man told me that tickets are most likely given out at a first come first served basis.
