How do general admission tickets work in Japan?
I have a ticket for a concert in Japan that doesn't have assigned seats. How does admission work, is it the first ones in line go first or is there a different system that tells who goes in first?

I think it's the same with other concert policies where you either have no seats or have first come first serve available seats. Usually they're standing in General Admission Tickets.

The two shows I've been to that didn't have assigned seating had a number on the ticket. You line up outside in the order of your ticket numbers, and enter the venue that way. They did this at Pennylane 24, and Zepp Sapporo.

Yep, you basically stand in line and when the doors open, go find whatever available seating there is. Usually there are designated seating areas for seniors and the handicapped, but everything else is first come first serve.

How can I live and work in Japan without a collage degree. What are my options to make this happen.
How can I live and work in Japan without a collage degree. What are my options to make this happen.?
I'm a US citizen in my early 30's hoping to live and work in Japan for at least a year and hopefully longer but I do not have a BA degree for the visa requirement. What would be my best course of action for realizing this goal? I have worked in construction management for several years, owned my own business for a time and held positions which normally require a degree but I lack that elusive paper. Are there any other courses I can take or skills that can help get around this requirement? Which visa should I apply for if I intend to visit and search for a job? Can I be sponsored by a company if I am already there? I know a 4 year degree is best but I would be nearly 40 by the time I could have that and I would like to be in Japan within a year or so. I welcome any answers or ideas, have you done this or know how? Please help. I have researched many answers here and also most of the Japan jobs websites so I have an idea of whats out there. I appreciate any advise. Also, I am completely open to a new career, really anything. The main reason I desire to try Japan is a life long fascination with the culture and I would be willing to sacrifice some comforts to be there. Thanks for the replies.

it is easy you go back to college and finish it because if you do you will get more money to live in a mansion in Japan

If this is truly your goal to live and work in Japan in your present field, than you should likely get the BA that you think that you need. You will be nearly 40 in 4 years even if you don't go to University. If you simply want to go to Japan to work to experience the culture, you may want to consider teaching English as a second language. The training period is relatively short -- weeks, not years -- and jobs seem to be plentiful. I know a couple of young people who have done this here in Canada. It may be something you want to investigate. Good luck.

Obtain BA in the US first is the best way. And start to learn Japanese. Japan don't take positive immigrant policy like the west. They are mono culture. Since 98% of the population is Japanese, people do not (need to) speak English in their daily life. Speaking Japanese is necessary for getting decent job. Employer can't hire tourist cos they know it is illegal. And Japan do not issue visa for simile labors, such as waiter, dish washer, janitor and construction worker, etc. Going to Japanese language school is another option. However, it'll cost a lot.

Wanting to live/work in Japan although I barely know the language. No Bachelors degree any suggestions
Wanting to live/work in Japan although I barely know the language. No Bachelors degree any suggestions?
Hello I am wanting to experience life in Tokyo, Japan. I have always been fascinated with Japan. Does anyone know any programs that are available for temporary work in Japan that one may obtain without a Bachelors Degree? I am currently in college but my university does not allow study abroad and my college doesn't offer Japanese language classes. I am wanting a total immersion in the culture any suggestions?

If you don't mind paying for them, then there are plenty of programs out there for you to take. Just because your university doesn't allow study abroad doesn't mean that you can't go. It just means that will not get any academic credits for going. You can just apply for a program. Of course, the negative side of this is that you can only go in the summer, or if you want to go for a semester or an academic year then you would have to request a break from your university. Again, there are many options available for total immersion, even in summer term. Another way is to look for program that are sponsored by a U.S. university. This basically means that the sponsored university will give you the credit and you can just transfer the credit from this university to your university. This way, the credits would just be "transfer credits," not "study abroad credits." Your university will probably accept them, unless there's policy against it somehow, though I can't think what that might be. Some examples of this transferable programs are the KCP International Japanese Language School (credits provided by Western Washington university) and the program at Sophia University of Japan (credits provided by University of Miami). Take a look at this for more program choices: http://www.studyabroad.com/programs/academic/japan As for working, Some semester and academic year programs do offer internship opportunities, and I've heard that if you do a good job they might offer you a permanent position after you graduate. I've heard about this at the IES (www.iesabroad.org), but you might want to double check this and to look around for other options. Hope this helps!

well, there are factory & food types jobs you can do without knowing the language here. Also you can look into online study abroad programs like IES. They are for students who don't have affiliated study abroad contacts in the country you wish to study in. You don't need to know any Japanese, although you do study it once here. You could also be a private English tutor in Tokyo.

How do I go about getting a work visa for working in Japan
How do I go about getting a work visa for working in Japan?
I am trying to get a job in Japan teaching in English. I've already applied to a grip of programs, but some of them ask if I've already got a work visa. How does one go about getting a work visa to work in Japan before being accepted to a program?

You need to talk to your local Japanese Embassy/Consulate in the first instance, they can give you the forms to fill out. You may be able to contact them on the web
