Looking At X Japan Madison Square Garden Tickets

One of Japan and international metal's biggest artists, X Japan will return to the US for the first time since 2010 with the announcement of an October 11th performance at Madison Square Garden.

The group, whom have sold over 30 million albums and singles world wide released X Japan Madison Square Garden tickets to the public on August 1st. To those familiar with original member and multi-instrumentalist Yoshiki, the performance is fittingly sponsored by New York Comic Con. The group will also be part of a panel at the New York Comic Con in early October, discussing their new comic “Blood Red Dragon” released through Stan Lee's Marvel Comics.

As expected, the majority of tickets – including all General Admission floor seats sold out within one hour of going on sale to the general public. Despite rarely performing in the US, the group is no stranger to large crowds. The 20,000 capacity at the World's Most Famous Arena pales in comparison to the band's record 18 sellouts at the Tokyo Dome – Japan's famous 55,000 seat venue.

A vast array of X Japan tickets have already hit the secondary market with an average asking price of $193.13. The current get-in for the lone US performance is $53. The group also has two Japanese concerts scheduled for Fall 2014, September 30th and October 1st at the Yokohama Arena.
