Four additional shows have just been announced for the ongoing B’z LIVE-GYM 2015 -EPIC NIGHT- tour. These four shows will be part of B’z LIVE-GYM 2015 -epic night-. Yes, you read that right: “epic night” in lowercase letters. A fanclub draw will not be available for these shows due to the announcement being very short notice. However, a small amount of fanclub exclusive tickets is available. Both, regular fans and fanclub members apply on the same site, that is https://ticket-every.jp/bz2015/. Fanclub members have the chance to apply for tickets twice: the fanclub exclusive registration as well as the regular registration.

However, regulations regarding the ticket sign-up procedure have become a lot stricter this time around. A face picture is required to be uploaded to the service upon registration, and that includes your +1 in case you order two tickets. Furthermore, identity verification will take place at the venue and the accepted identification methods make it impossible for people from outside Japan to get to these shows.
