26th January 2012 Tickets on sale for L’Arc~en~Ciel at Madison Square Garden

A quick heads-up for East Coast (US) L’Arc~en~Ciel fans – tickets for the March 25 Madison Square Garden date of their 2012 World Tour go on sale this Saturday, January 28 through Ticketmaster. But for those of you who just cannot wait to get your hands on those tickets, there is a pre-sale going on right now limited to fans who signed up for the mailing list ahead of time! According to sources, many people who signed up for this mailing list unfortunately did not receive the pre-sale link, but if you’re one of those less-than-lucky fans, don’t fret – ask around that L’Arcosphere and you are sure to find that link before the pre-sale closes.

The ticket page of L’Arc’s OHP has not yet been updated with details for the New York show, so it is as-yet unknown whether there will be VIP packages like there are for some of the other dates, but given that it *is* Madison Square Garden, the ticket levels are definitely tiered. Prices range from $54.00 to $99.50 a pop depending on where the seats are located (Ticketmaster fees *not* included, so brace yourselves for an extra $14+ “service charge”).

If you’re not familiar with the famed Madison Square Garden, there are five levels of seating and the arena, totaling room for20,000 concert-goers. It’s not quite the size of Tokyo Dome, but it is New York’s ultimate entertainment stadium, where domestic and international acts alike solidify their superstar reputations by bringing together tens of thousands of fans in the heart of midtown Manhattan.

Keep your eyes peeled, your credit card numbers memorized, and your trigger fingers hovering over that home row because the good seats are going fast!
