「Mayday X 五月天 the Best of 1999-2013」CD+DVD到手了 !

「Mayday X 五月天 the Best of 1999-2013」is released today! Have you got your copy yet? 



How to buy Mayday ticket(s) through ibon for dummies

Welcome to the dummies guide on how to buy concert tickets through ibon

It's not all that difficult to get tickets to Mayday's concert, all you need is patience and a little luck ;) 

First of all, you need to locate a 7-11. There are thousands of 7-11 across Taiwan so finding one is not a problem as they are everywhere unless you live on a remote mountaintop.

Make sure you go early. Hardcore fans usually go the night before the concert. 


How does the ibon queue works?

There are no black and white rules at 7-11 as to how they manage the queue. 

1. Name list 

There are outlets where you only have to leave your name on a list then return to the store in the early morning (they'll tell you what time to return, it's usually around 7am). This way you do not have to physically be present at the store to queue. 


2. No list queue

There are some outlets which don't bother with name list so you have to physically be present to queue at the store. 

When you enter 7-11, be sure to always ask if there is a list or is there anyone in line to buy the ticket. 

Tip: Here I would like to point out that being the FIRST in line makes a HUGE difference. The first in line is almost always guaranteed to get the most expensive section tickets (take note if you're aiming for the best seats in the house!!) 


ARE YOU READY? HOW IBON WORKS:

Step by step video tutorial by B'in Music:




1. Select the Mayday concert on the main page 

Depending on which concert, the Mayday icon may not always be on the main screen. If it's not on the main screen, then select 購票 and locate it from there

Tip: I suggest going to 7-11 to run mock purchase on ibon before the actual concert ticket sale day to familiarise yourself with the system. 



2. Accept the terms & conditions

After selecting the concert, terms and conditions will appear. Don't bother reading, select 同意, 我接受 to proceed

3. Select show/date

Thereafter, you will be prompted to select which show/day you with to purchase (if there is more than one concert)

4. Select ticket type

After selecting the date you want, you will be prompted to select ticket type (see below):


5. Select seat section


In the screen above I have selected 動次動次搖滾區3880. After selecting ticket type you will be asked to select your preferred section (see below)


6. Select number of ticket(s)

Thereafter select the number of ticket(s) you wish to purchase. Each person is entitled to purchase up to a maximum of four (4) tickets 

7. Select seat number

After selecting the number of ticket(s), you will be given the option to select your own seat(s) or allow the computer to assign the seat(s). 

Tip: It is highly advisable to opt for the latter (computer assigned seat(s)) 


8. Confirm purchase


Select 確認, 列印繳費單 after confirming your purchase (at this point your seat number(s) will be displayed on the screen)

9. Enter your phone number

The tutorial video by B'in Music did not include this step. You are required to enter your phone number before ibon prints your confirmation slip.

10. Collect confirmation slip


Once you have the confirmation slip in hand, you're almost there (unless you suddenly realise that you left your wallet at home... lol)

At this point you have ten (10) minutes to proceed to the payment counter to make payment. Be sure to double check the time frame for payment as this was extended to thirty (30) minutes during the last Nowhere Taichung ticket sale.

There's a 中國信託 Chinatrust ATM in almost every 7-11 in case you haven't enough cash on you. Chinatrust ATMs are Cirrus and Maestro friendly (it supports international cash withdrawal on ATM cards with cirrus logo)

In the event there isn't an ATM in store, fret not, there's bound to be another convenient store (with ATM access) less than 100 meters away.


 confirmation slip 

11. Payment

After payment, the cashier will print your tickets. Make sure to double your tickets before leaving the store.

Congratulations on getting your hands on Mayday concert ticket(s)! That wasn't too difficult was it ;)


↑ tickets 


The problem with ibon:

Unless you are the first in line, you will most likely encounter this: system shows that the ticket type you have selected is still available and after selecting the number of ticket(s) etc you see the screen below: 


ARGHHHH %^@!$ This is the one of the most frustrating problem with ibon, due to the large number of people buying tickets simultaneously, it is unable to update the ticket availability effectively hence sold out sections are still shows up as "available"

20131108 News Zero - Mayday 五月天特輯

今晚的ZERO CULTURE是下周即將在日本出道的台灣樂團,Mayday的特集。其實他們曾經跟
GLAY和B'z的松本桑等,日本的頂尖音樂人一起製作音樂。Mayday是個怎麼樣的樂團呢,
請看以下的訪問。

(播離開地球表面)

1999年出道以來得過的獎項有150作以上,來自台灣的樂團Mayday。

(播倔強in鳥巢)

是台灣樂團中動員數最多的,去年在舉辦北京奧運的鳥巢體育場中所舉行的演唱會,兩天
內甚至動員了20萬人。

(播2012)

活動不只侷限在亞洲,連美國、倫敦等,在世界各地也舉辦了規模一萬人的演唱會。這樣
的他們,下周將把活動舞台往日本擴展。

怪獸「可以來日本接近這個音樂圈讓我們感到很開心」

石頭「完全是一個fresh的狀態」

其實Mayday跟日本的音樂人有很深的關係。

(播Dancin' Dancin')

今天公開的新曲的作詞就是由GLAY的TAKURO桑擔任,及TERU參加合唱。

(播GLAY EXPO 2001的I'm in LOVE)

2001年GLAY所舉辦的演唱會『GLAY EXPO』,自從當時以台灣代表身分參與之後就一直有
交流。此外、還有跟B'z的松本桑一起創作樂曲,

(播Belief)

跟flumpool一起作日文歌曲等,透過音樂保持交流。

隆太「在日本就用日文,在其他地方就用其他的語言,在那邊好好扎根的感覺,想向那邊
      的人傳達東西的態度,讓人感到一股強烈的力量」

其實他們音樂活動的背景受到日本文化影響很大。

阿信「在台灣將近有百分之二十的節目是日本的節目,就是從以前的小叮噹到現在最新的
      進擊的巨人我們都是追得很勤的」

瑪莎「我們有一張唱片就叫時光機」

阿信「對、有一張唱片就叫時光機就是從小叮噹的時光機。應該說是創作的元素是從這些
      文化裡面產生的」

到現在為止發行的專輯標題,有來自哆啦A夢的時光機,另外還有引用自村上春樹桑的小
說標題神的孩子都在跳舞等,將日本的文化當成靈感。

阿信「我們開始會把生活中的一些東西放到音樂裡面去」

瑪莎「兩個不同文化我們也希望可以把音樂當作橋樑,讓大家認識更多華語圈的音樂」

Mayday的日本出道專輯,將在下周三發行。以上ZERO CULTURE。
