Messages for -First Breath- (translated by Zephyr)
Until now for Japan and overseas, a concert will be held for KINGDOM HEARTS music. This time we will be able to hold the world’s first official KINGDOM HEARTS concert. The first year will be made of a symphonic band called “First Breath”. Please come see this first memorable commemoration for the world. I think you’ll enjoy the first breath when the concert plays for KINGDOM HEARTS 2.8 and KINGDOM HEARTS III. Also, on the go and while you’re waiting, I’m very happy KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained χ has been popularly received.
Tetsuya Nomura, Director of the KINGDOM HEARTS seriesFinally an official concert for KINGDOM HEARTS will be held by a symphonic band! Personally for myself in high school, I played the flute and was conducting for a symphonic band. I thought the concert band there was extraordinary. (laughs) For how I started the concert band, in a junior high school festival, I heard a symphonic band playing African Symphony. (It is a classic!) Because of this one song, it had a significant effect in continuing the symphonic band over five years. I thought about being the person to start a symphonic band just so you could listen to a symphonic arrangement for KINGDOM HEARTS, and being the person that loves symphonic music more and more, I’m very happy. Thinking about the days we practiced everyday, I would like you to be immersed in a new world music in KINGDOM HEARTS. By all means, everyone please come listen. See you at the venue!
Yoko Shimomura, Composer for the KINGDOM HEARTS series
Messages for -World Tour-"The idea of a KINGDOM HEARTS concert has been in the works for several years, but even so, I was astonished to learn that our music would be performed by a full orchestra, in other countries no less. I’ve been given the opportunity to oversee the creation of the title, logo, and many other aspects of this amazing production, and as the director of the series, I am confident that what we’ve created will touch the hearts of our beloved fans everywhere.
The World Tour is slated for 2017, the same year as the KINGDOM HEARTS 15th anniversary. In the meantime, fans will get a chance to explore the world of KINGDOM HEARTS II.8, which is coming out later this year. I hope the excitement and joy they get from the experience will only increase their anticipation for the release of KINGDOM HEARTS III."
Tetsuya Nomura, Director of the KINGDOM HEARTS series“Please have a KINGDOM HEARTS orchestral concert.”
I heard this quite often, and it echoed my own feelings. I’ve wanted to have a concert for some time, and I’m happy to announce that it’s finally become a reality. When I began composing for the KINGDOM HEARTS series, I couldn’t even dream this day would come. But it has, thanks to our beloved fans. This concert and the music of KINGDOM HEARTS could not have existed without their undying support. I can’t thank them enough. The concert will encompass my feelings toward the series and those dear to me around the world. I look forward to seeing everyone there!
Yoko Shimomura, Composer for the KINGDOM HEARTS series

YAAAAAAAAAAS IT'S HAVING IT'S OWN CONCERT!!!!!
Will absolutely positively be going to the Los Angeles concert. I'm really glad we've got over a year in advance notice. It's hard for me to save money, but this gives a lot of time.
I was waiting to hear what they had planned for the 15th, and this surely doesn't disappoint <3
A Kingdom Hearts equivalent of Zelda's Symphony of the Goddess?
I MUST FIND A WAY TO ATTEND THIS
the question is tho, how is nomura going to make the concerts canon to the overall series
KH concert? SIGN ME THE HELL--
Wait, of course the US will only have it on the West Coa--HOT DAYUM THERE'S ONE IN NY! Gonna attend this, heaven or hell.
AHAHFQBKYICUQOOAOB RBKRIS WHYYYYYYY
WHY NOT IN AUSTRIA/GERMANY THOUGH???
okay this has me VERY excited
the question is tho, how is nomura going to make the concerts canon to the overall series
Oh man, that was good. For real though, this may be the first time the KH logo will be used for something official that isn't story relevant. I don't know if Nomura can handle it.
LOS ANGELES. BLESS YOU NOMURA, SHIMOMURA, DISNEY, SQUARE ENIX, AND DISNEY. MAINLY DISNEY SINCE THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO DO THIS.
Kind of wish it was at the Disney Concert Hall BUT THAT IS OKAY THE DOLBY THEATER IS BIG AND ICONIC <3

New cutscenes featuring the main cast at the concert. The music is a power to defeat the darkness. Everybody who attends the concerts gets a special DLC code to unlock a music-themed item in KH3.
Also Sora & Riku to conduct Dearly Beloved

Canadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The closest one to me will be New York..which is still 6 hours away lol. I mean thats honestly manageable, and I would love this but its something I would need to think about. So yeah I am glad its a year away as well ha.

It's a year away but tickets go on sale really soon so I would think quickly.

Technically you only have a few days to think about it since tickets go on pre-sale on the 30th. There is very little guarantee that these tickets will be available for long.
Do you have to be a japanese resident to enter the lottery for the first breath concert? I'm going to Japan at the end of july and would love to see this
I live in Australia so this would be my only chance to go

If I remember correctly, to make a SE e-Store account, you need a Japanese address at the very least. If you have your hotel booked already, you can use that as your address.
i think i know what my next birthday for next year is gonna be.
i think i know what my next birthday for next year is gonna be.
Tickets go on sale this month and next month so...think a bit sooner than your birthday for next year lol
I also love the new Logos. I dunno, the hearts kinda look so good.
Also, those tickets would've been an awesome birthday present BUT NO
Alright, checked through my stuff, and I can definitely go to the showing in New York next year. Now I just need to wait to pre-order the tickets.
I love getting my hopes up when seeing 'World Tour' and then realising that Australia is never apart of these, it's Great[FONT=arial]™[/FONT]

Ah right :P I read that and probably forgot because I didn't want to remember that little detail haha. Oh well, I will figure it out in a few days then :P
They better put this shit on soundtrack. I do not have time to go to this
They better put this shit on soundtrack. I do not have time to go to this
Hopefully they will be awesome like Distant Worlds and have one post tour.
Westminister, here I come baby! :)
It worries me though that they only mention VIP tickets for some of the pre-sales... a list that doesnt include Los Angeles :'(
C'mon man, I'm willing to literally throw money at you, gimme some of that good stuff
Whoa, an official Kingdom Heart concert! That is so cool! I have always dreamed of something like this, and it`s finally happening. I am probably not able to attend to the concert, but just the thought alone that KH has now it`s own makes me really happy. Also, what a more perfect timing than to have it on KH-series 15th anniversary year? :D
Shimomura and Nomura seem pretty excited about it as well. Like Launchapad, I hope there might be cd version of this concert in the future.

I won't be able to attend myself but that doesn't make it any less awesome.
If there will be a soundtrack for it it's an instant import though and maybe they will have an official video about one concert on their channels?
It is an opportunity for more promotion for the whole series after all.
the question is tho, how is nomura going to make the concerts canon to the overall series
under every seat is a triangle button, on stage is 13 health bars. if the audience can defeat the seekers on ice performing in the background, nomura will write it into the game.
also the closest one to me in NYC and my future is uncertain lol. i can dream.
Yaaaas! I'll see you all whom ever is in Los Angeles!!! Soooo ready for thisssss!
Closest one for me is UK. I'm probably going to try and get tickets if I can before it sells out. Kind of really annoying that you have to buy the tickets a year in advance, anything could happen and I'm worried I'll have some super important school thing on that day but… man, I think I'll give it a go anyway. I know for a fact that something like this will never ever come to Finland, hell probably not even Sweden so this is my best chance.
LA and NY? I already know that I can't go. ;-;
BUT STILL, THIS IS AMAAAAAAAZIIIIIING 8D And who knows, maybe if it's successful enough, they'll do more, like the Pokémon Symphonic Evolutions tour.
I'm putting my money on the table that Theatrhythm KH will be following shortly. And it will be canon to the main series, of course.
Did I read that correctly? There will be music from 2.8 and 3? And no one has mentioned that yet?
Did I read that correctly? There will be music from 2.8 and 3? And no one has mentioned that yet?
So what?
2.8 will come out this year. 3... I don't know. Seems it'll release 2017. (not)
Did I read that correctly? There will be music from 2.8 and 3? And no one has mentioned that yet?
It was added in after the article was written so nobody has really seen it haha!
Sadly it isn't something we will be able to hear unless they release a brass album after First Breath ends.
(And by that time we will be playing 2.8 so that surprise will be gone)
A Kingdom Hearts concert?!
And the logos are so beautiful <3
Can't wait to see how Nomura fits this into the canon
Man, New York City... That's about a three hour drive for me. There's no way I'd be able to attend, though. (So close, and yet so far...)
the question is tho, how is nomura going to make the concerts canon to the overall series
He already foreshadowed it tho in KH3D. Those Sound Ideas Mickey wanted are coming into play. Nomura's a genius!
Also, definitely going in for that London ticket. There's no way I can miss this!
I adore the logos. This is something I've been wanting for such a long time, and unfortunately it is nowhere near where I live. I'm hoping this isn't the last we see of it.
Guys, if you feel really passionate about seeing this show but can't because it is too far, please let the production company know on the World Tour FB about wanting to see this show in your location!
https://www.facebook.com/KingdomHeartsOrchestra
Man that would be so cool to see in person! I've always wanted to go to a symphony that plays video game music.
so 2017 is going fun for kingdo hearts in genral we have these concerts,d23,e3 tgs and jump festa the hype is real everbody
No Germany...Jesus, thanks a lot. .l.
I don't always beg on Facebook, but when I do, it's for the love of KH.
Tfw Paris is actually pretty close to where I live (only 3 hours by train), but I'm moving this summer further away from there :')
But in any case it's really cool that there's actually an official KH concert, and that it's (more or less) world wide!! Who knows, maybe there will be an album available at the concerts or something like that?

Thanks for this! I haven't used my FB in years, but this would be an appropriate scenario to log back on.
London, here I come!!!!! :D
Now just need to convince my friend to come with me...
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go so badly. Ahh! I must find a way to make it possible!
Anyway, this is absolutely amazing. The KH series' music more than deserves to be showcased like this, and I'm so glad that it's now going to be a reality.
I also dreamed about this day, but I never thought it would happen, either.
But this is such an impressive milestone for Shimomura-san, Nomura-san, and everyone who's worked so hard to make these games something wonderful over the years. I'm so happy for SE right now, and couldn't congratulate them enough. To have such a long series, that you can pull such great music from for something like this, is really an accomplishment.
And Yoko Shimomura and Tetsuya Nomura's messages were so cute. Imo, you guys completely deserve every "beloved fan" that you have:)
Also... I really like these logos. They're so lovely. And I'm so glad that Nomura-san designed them. I really like the name of the first one, even, and I sort of wish we had a game called that now. Haha.
-wonders what the special announcement will be, but it'll probably be something basic, so I shouldn't get my hopes up-
It's awesome to hear, too, that II.8 is definitely coming out this year (at least in Japan).
It's awesome to hear, too, that II.8 is definitely coming out this year (at least in Japan).
It was a blanket statement to Japan and the west.
I really hope they allow recordings cause I know for a fact that I don't have the time or money for this.
You lucky east and west coasters. Hopefully this comes to Texas soon!
I'm definitely attending the one in Los Angeles! So excited! Also, it seems like coincidence it around an E3 week as well!
You lucky east and west coasters. Hopefully this comes to Texas soon!
I'm in the midwest, I feel you. Flying to NY for this will be worth it though. Expensive, but worth it.
Well I could make the Japan early show in August if I stay an extra few days after my abroad classes end, hmm..
Otherwise I'm definitely hitting the LA show up, though I'm not looking forward to driving in LA again =/
damm i would to do the meet and greet with yoko shimomura
This event is a lot more costly than I initially imagined...
hey everobody if you had to to take a bet what would be the first song they open the concert with?
Dearly Beloved or Hikari probably.
We've updated the pricing for the London, Singapore, Paris, and New York concerts.
Official KINGDOM HEARTS Brass and Orchestra concerts! - News - Kingdom Hearts Insider
This event is a lot more costly than I initially imagined...
What did you think it'd be? $20? Never been to a world class orchestra concert for less than $50.
What did you think it'd be? $20? Never been to a world class orchestra concert for less than $50.
Nevermind, I looked at the high premier price of $128 and assumed that'd be the standard price.
Tickets are about what I expected. I'm definitely willing to pay some of those prices, but I'll have to wait and see if it comes to someplace closer. Hopefully I can find a job soon that will mesh well with my college work next year so that I can potentially afford these sorts of things. At least the price isn't outrageous for the quality that I'm sure the orchestra will provide.
Whoa, the chance to meet Shimomura after an KH-concert. That sounds like a dream come true.
hey everobody if you had to to take a bet what would be the first song they open the concert with?
A Dearly Beloved arrangement tying all of the current versions together, or Hikari.
Aaaah, the more I think about it, the more I hope that there will be recordings of the performances. I really, really hope that this will swing by where I live eventually, but in case it doesn't... well, descriptions never do an orchestra justice. Gotta hear it for myself.
(I just wanna hear Darkness of the Unknown live, PLEASE IT'S A DREAM OF MINE)
Oh god..."Fantasia alla marcia" is going to be gorgeous live. And "Passion -orchestra-"
I'm curious about how they plan to break things up. Will we see music grouped by game or when it plays (field, battle, character) or just "what sounds good"
it itresing that the tour end in the same month as e3 corridance i think not
it itresing that the tour end in the same month as e3 corridance i think not
I don't know what you said, but I don't think it is a coincidence at all. It's more interesting that there is one showing the week typically E3 is. But hey, Distant Worlds was the same week as E3 and nothing happened with that lol
so to be clear, it seems that every date EXCEPT Japan, China and Los Angeles are having the pre-sales tomorrow right?

It could be little more than just smart thinking -- of course you would plan your concert the same week a huge influx of people interested in the same area (gaming) would be in town, it'd help guarantee ticket sales.
Can someone explain pre-sales to me? Will I be able to purchase tickets tomorrow for the London one?

Yeah, that's the plan. That's how I'm going to be getting my tickets. This is the link you should go to purchase them.

exacly what if this nomura plan to promte kingdom hearts 3 all along
My point was that nothing probably will happen because nothing happened with Distant Worlds...or the Zelda Symphony thing...
Yeah, that's the plan. That's how I'm going to be getting my tickets. This is the link you should go to purchase them.

Thanks. What time will tickets be released?

12pm London time.
12pm London time.
Thanks!
I will have to be back in my house by then. Trouble is I'm meeting someone at 11am... Urgh... Should I be concerned about tickets pre-sales selling out fast?

true you may never know espically with nomura he always planning something
Oh great. His schemes are bleeding into the real world now? xD
Ohhh I would so love to be one of those 150 VIPs. I want to ask Shimomura if we'll get to hear Disappeared and Forze del Male in KH3 :P But by the time my friend and I decide whether to go at all, those tickets will probably be gone.
Question though, is there a time for the World Tour NY concert? And also just out of curiosity, a list of which songs will be performed?
Question though, is there a time for the World Tour NY concert? And also just out of curiosity, a list of which songs will be performed?
Doors open @ 7pm and the concert begins @ 8pm. No song list yet and I'm not sure if one will be announced (did they for the Distant Worlds Tour?)
Anyone going to the NYC show (LA could too though), I'd love a KHInsider meet-up on both coasts before the show begins. Good luck to trying to score presale or VIP tickets tomorrow, hoping we all get what we're after.
Yess I got the ticket to the London concert! Super excited, anyone else from here going there? I've never met anyone who plays KH irl, would love to even briefly get to chat with someone!

I got a ticket for the March 24th one. Will be looking forward to meeting other Kingdom Hearts fans too!
Edit: Said screw it and got one for the 25th as well. Honestly, a VIP ticket to meet Yoko Shimomura is worth seeing this thing all over again.
I just got a ticket for the London event on March 25th. Was an opportunity I didn't want to miss and also my first time meeting fellow KH fans as others have already said. Will be counting down the months, weeks and days to March 2017!
I can't decide on choosing the VIP or the Gold ticket for the London one. The VIP is expensive for my friend. And I'd feel bad about buying them when they have little money. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Same here! Got a couple for a friend and I. Thought we would have to wait years for this to finally happen ^^
Ok, I went for VIP in the end. For the Saturday 25th. It's a once in the lifetime opportunity - especially with KH. Plus my friend is learning to speak Japanese. So it might be interesting :p
Wonder when we will find out what seats we have actually got?
Could we make a facebook event like "KHinsider goes to..." for each of the concerts if we don't have anybody to go with?
Kingdom Hearts World Tour NYC (June 24, 2017) tickets on sale now:
New York - La Fée Sauvage - La Boutique
VIP - SOLD OUT (maybe?)
Gold - $134
Category 1 - $109
Category 2 - $79
Category 3 - $59
Good luck everyone and people trying for CA, expect tickets to go just as fast (but there are 2 shows so double the time).
EDIT: 12:06, VIP tickets back up, not sure what's going on.
EDIT: 12:25, VIP sold out again, probably for good.
Got my tickets for NY! I got Category 2 tickets. Man, I am so excited for this.
I got tickets for NY (Gold because VIP sold out in like 9 minutes) since I live in Southern Ontario, Canada.
WE SHOULD DO A MEET UP!
got my VIP ticket. I can't wait for this!

NYC?
Eugh, I didn't even try to go for VIP because it's way too expensive for me :(
Btw, what's the difference between categories? I'm honestly really inexperienced with this stuff, lol

They are different seating. Cat 1 is the best after Gold and Cat 2/3 are your basic to bad seats.
NYC?
Yep. going to NYC. LA's on the wrong side of the country for me
That's weird.... Bought my tickets for the London one... got email confirmation and everything saying payment has been accepted and its showing on my bank account as well yet when I go back on the site it is saying I've still got two VIP tickets in my basket? But I've got confirmation I've paid and the order of two tickets is also showing on my account so why is it still showing that I have 2 items in my basket?
Yepp, as I thought, checked an hour after they went on sale, and the VIP tix for the NY show were all sold out already. Drat, really wanted to meet Shimomura. Guess it's a moot point then.
Edit: Got my gold seats for the NYC show, so I'll see you fellow KH fans then!

If you got your confirmation email, you're fine.
Goddammit it's not coming to Australia. I won't be able to see it. ;___;
I'm assuming if I buy two tickets they'll be next to each other right? Also does anyone know that when the tickets go on sale for real on the 14th of May, will those tickets be cheaper than these?
If you got your confirmation email, you're fine.
Phew! That's good then. I wouldn't want to miss this!

I would assume so tickets will be next to each other. That's how these things usually work right?
I hope the tickets won't be cheaper from the 14th May... That will really annoy me if so!
I live almost equal distance from both NY and LA. *sigh*
This is awesome. Wish I could go. Still haven't made it to Symphony of the Goddesses, although it's finally coming to my state. Finally.
Am I correct to assume since the Los Angeles tickets aren't available even on the Wildfaery website the VIP seats are still safe? I don't wanna miss out on the opportunity to meet Yoko.

Also planning on heading to the LA event, I think we're good. If nothing has gone on sale yet, nobody can really have bought anything.
We may or may not be getting a chance to meet Yoko Shimomura, though. Some of the VIP events for the concerts are different. Here's hoping!
Gah. I'll still buy the VIP tickets. I can't see how it's not worth it
Yoko Shimomura likes coming to California to shop. I feel pretty certain she'll be at the LA shows.
Fingers crossed! I'd be ecstatic if she attends. Icing on the cake would be if she conducted a song. I was at Star Wars in Concert at the Hollywood Bowl back in 2011, and after the last song, John Williams came out and conducted an encore of The Imperial March. One of my biggest geek-outs.
I am so happy an event like this is finally taking place! I've been several times to see Distant Worlds and Kingdom Hearts definitely deserves the same treatment!
I'm holding off on buying the NY tickets, because I'd like to see the show in LA.
What the heck, I'm trying to get NY tickets but my card keeps getting declined.
Edit: And now the website's down, perfect.
*edit* Apologies, I see now that the Los Angeles tickets go sale at 12 PM on Sat.
I haven't posted for a long time but I figure now's a good time as any! I noticed the price range for the LA tickets is $59-134, but the description still mentions the VIP tickets (and Yoko Shimomura meet and greet) which have all been much over $134 for the other venues. I wonder if it's a case of copy-paste event info or something else. Though I don't buy tickets to things often, so I don't know how VIPs usually work.
Honestly we don't know either. We are waiting to see what happens when tickets go up. It wouldn't make sense for there not to be VIP at this show when every other show has it, though.
Yeah, it would be kinda odd. I'd be down for $134 VIP tickets, though that seems unlikely haha.

VIP is indeed available. Buy your tickets as soon as possible!
(Sell your soul to Ticketmaster...$214.50 for VIP after surcharges)
I would sell my soul if I could actually go to the show, but both of em are so far away. D:

VIP is just out of the question for me right now *sigh* the surcharge pushes it out of my range for no, so unlucky that this was announced when times were tight. I will still go, but I'll have to hope that the continued support will convince them to come back to LA at a different time when I can afford to toss $214.
So expensive Dx. Wish I could go but that's just outta the question for me right now.
Is anyone else confused by Ticketmaster's "Find Seats For Me" way of purchasing? I can't tell if certain ticket categories are just sold out or if the system isn't finding them.
On another note, I find it kind of unfair for CA fans who have to deal with TicketMaster's surcharges while NYC tickets were sold on WildFaery which doesn't have a surcharge. So after surcharges, CA tickets are actually more expensive than NYC tickets for the exact same experience (as advertised).
-------- NYC ($) / LA ($)
Cat. 3 - $59 / $74
Cat. 2 - $79 / $96
Cat. 1 - $109 / $129
Gold --- $134 / $154
VIP ---- $189 / $214

It can be a mix of both. If you are ordering for Saturday, those tickets are selling fast in the more expensive categories so its a bit of a gamble to get what you want there. Wednesday still has VIP available, though. I used Find Seats for Me for that day because I couldn't see the map and I got pretty good tickets.

It is unfair but that is the literal price of using these services :c
NYC also had TicketFly to contend with...

So is it safe to assume you're attending on 07/14/17 (Wed)? As it turns out, I'll actually be in CA the weekend of 7/10/17 so I could see it on Sat and wanted to know who else here is attending that show.

Yeah. Wednesday is the week of E3.
Managed to sneak away at work this morning to purchase seats for the Wednesday evening concert for myself and my boyfriend. It was spur of the moment and I just swallowed all my senses and went VIP so this is me for the next few months:
Kind of a trip that it's a whole year away, though.
Were there ever any VIP tickets for Saturday? I know the option was available but at least on the Ticketmaster app I was using it was coming up with no seats by the time I was looking at like 12:05 PM. Could they actually have sold out that quickly?

Haha I am the same. I will not be eating for a year.
And yes. VIP did indeed sell out in less than five minutes. It was that bad.
Five... minutes...?
Haha I am the same. I will not be eating for a year.
Me if there actually was a chance to see this in Germany..................................... -.-
Somehow SE VIP stuff often sells out that fast.
IIRC the only reason the ultimate FF XV edition only lasted like 4 hours because the service was unavailable for like 3.5.

Well then.
I don't even have 25 characters to properly convey my thoughts.
Anyway, I'm happy enough with Wednesday. It'll be a little less hectic in Hollywood as I head into the belly of the beast.
I was lucky enough to purchase 2 VIP tickets for the 10th. So incredibly happy I got insanely good seats: third row from the orchestra!! That plus the meet and greet is going to be an experience I cannot wait for!

That's great that you got the tickets you wanted! I was wondering if anyone here actually managed to nab the VIPs for Saturday.
I'm about four rows back in Orchestra L, basically center but for the aisle divide. Honestly I was so afraid of losing the tickets I didn't even bother to check I was just like, yeah sounds good if I just ignore the total!
So does anyone know when we may get the tickets from Wildfaery? It would be nice to know what seat numbers I've got...
Looks like the Dolby website says there is no recording/cameras of any kind allowed at the event. Unless the other events allow recording, hopefully they release some sort of collection for those who are unable to attend. :(

I imagine (read: really hope) they will release a recording or album for the show. SE has allowed it for their other tour concerts in the past.

My suggestion is to just email them.
Just took a look at the page with the showing for New York, and it seems that all the tickets except for the $79 ones have completely sold out.
Well, I waited completely too long to make my decision about this:/
Just thought I'd let anyone who might've been interested in going to New York for the event know.
To Cali it is for me, then!:D

Both WildFaery and TicketFly?

Oh, I only checked one of the sites. I didn't realize that there were two selling the tickets. Sorry for any unnecessary confusion^_^'
-goes to check other site, because it'd honestly be easier for me to go to the nyc one if that's at all possible-
God, I wish this was coming somewhere other than the east & west coasts. I hope this gets recorded by someone of they release an album. And that meet and greet would be AMAZING! This was probably the closest I'll ever get to having Shimomura sign a copy of an OST for me...
Just got an email saying the physical tickets have been delayed by a few weeks and we should expect them to be dispatched mid-June/end of June. :)
Oh good, I was wondering when the tickets were going to get sent out. I should check and see if I got any email as well.

I should clarify this is for tickets purchased on WildFaery and for the concerts in: New York, London, Singapore and Paris. :)

Yeah, I'm going to the NY show and I bought through WildFaery. I checked and I got the email as well, so the tickets should arrive between mid to late June.
I might be able to go to the LA one on June 14th
but maybe not because work won't let me have fun
Just got my ticket(s) (one for my sister and me) for the New York showing and not a moment too soon!
It seems that TicketFly is the only site that has them now. The other one is completely sold out.
And now there's only one ticket left in the second to last section and just a few left in the balcony.
If you still want to attend this event, you guys probably shouldn't wait another moment to make your decision. These tickets are selling like hot cakes. LOL.
Anyway, I'm so super excited about all of this, and hopefully I'll even get to see some of you there:)
Next year can't come fast enough, I tell you what!
I'm sort of wondering how much the London one is sold out... I know KH probably isn't that big over here...

Well, Square Enix hasn't actually promoted the concert outside of an email to subscribed fans and they are a year out so it'll probably gain more traction once SE decides to get their crap together and promote it on the English language Kingdom Hearts social media accounts.
It's improbable, but I hope they play Atlantica's combat music in the brass concert. Hands down one of the best and brassiest battle tunes from any of the games. I tried to learn it on my trumpet and almost died (like jesus, who did die)
I agree, Launchpad. I really like that track myself. [strike]I really like KH1 Atlantica in general.[/strike]
But personally, I'm hoping that we'll get a mix of all kinds of things. This is the fifteenth anniversary, after all, so there's no better time for such obscure tracks to be paid homage, imo.
Best case scenario, we'll get a nice selection of tracks from all the games (and maybe even more from the games that aren't Days, Coded, CoM, and/or KH2; not hating on these games, or the music in them, but I think Shimomura-san was maybe limited by the system capabilities in those--especially in the original CoM--so I think games like KH1, BbS, and DDD have much better soundtracks).
Hopefully they'll play the most popular tracks, of course, but also some of the less known ones. *cough* March Caprice *cough*
But even if that doesn't end up happening, I know that it'll still be a stunning event all around. Yep!
But anyway, now I'm curious: have we gotten any word on how long the concert's supposed to last at all?^^
(I'm totally listening to all of my favorite KH songs right now, with no shame, to get hyped for this monumental occasion, btw. LOL. Hollow Bastion's main theme will always be a favorite of mine, and that's the one I'm listening to currently.)
Has anyone received their tickets in the mail yet? Still waiting on mine.
Well, it's official. Both sites are completely sold out when it comes to the New York concert now.
This is sad, because I was thinking of buying some last minute tickets for some friends, but alas.
-thinks about looking on Ebay, or somewhere, for them, and instantly hates self somewhat for it-
@Nazo: I've gotten mine from TicketFly. Did you order yours from there?^^
Nope, WildFaery. They said the tickets would arrive in mid to late June and it is now the eve of July so idk what's going on.

Email them to see what is up. Only way to find out.

I had totally forgotten but now that you've mentioned it, I am too.
I just got an email from WildFaery saying my tickets were shipped, so check your emails folks.
My tickets just arrived in the mail. So keep a look out, you guys.
Well I haven't had an email saying they were shipped and haven't got the tickets yet.... but they definitely have taken the money months ago lol. So I'm still waiting for mine.... I'm in the UK... So hopefully I should get mine soon?
I'm reviving this topic because I finally got my tickets! Has anyone else received their tickets yet?

I have yet to receive anything... Anyone got theirs who is going to the UK concert?
just got my tickets for NY in the mail. center aisle 9 rows back. so excited!
Got my tickets for the NY concert. :3
Where are my fellow NY concert goers sitting?
I got seat 1 in row X but I have no idea where that is on the seating chart.
guys japan so luck according from goldplanner traslation tweet but the first breath is going to be intresing
Ryōtarō Okiayu (Terra) + Iku Nakahara (Namine) to be guests at KH Concert -First Breath-. The plan is for them to participate at all shows in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka. Something's in the works. Look forward to it. -Nomura, who noticed it's a week away today #_KH
Are they sold out or is the site lying? PLEASE DON'T BE SOLD OUT!

New York? Sold out like two months ago.
Still have yet to receive any tickets.... May have to enquire now... I'm booked for the London one...

I'm in the second to last section... Which is really unfortunate, because I waited way too long to buy my tickets. But I'm just glad I have any and will be able to go (I know some fans missed their chance to nab tickets, sadly). And at least it's not the literal back section.
No matter what, I know it's going to be an amazing night to remember and I can't wait to see you all there! We really should do some sort of meet up:D
Also... I don't think my head has completely wrapped around the fact that I'm going to be in the same room--at the same time--with my hero, Tetsuya Nomura, Yoko Shimomura, and Tai Yasue--along with some of my online KH friends that I've had for years!
It really is going to be the greatest night ever and I can't wait!:)
You didn't revive it... *points to the two posts above you*
Oh, I assumed I did, silly me. Crazy to believe that the event is coming so close... I really hope that we get exclusive Kingdom Hearts III tracks during the event.
Got my ticket for the London concert! Super excited, now it's starting to actually feel real. I'm absolutely terrified of planes and hate flying, but I still can't wait! It'll be worth it.

You don't live in London yet you're willing to book a trip just to see Yoko: that's dedication!

Ooooo, people going to the concert are lucky.

Well if you've got your London ticket then I should be getting mine soon?
(Totally now replying to what gosoxtim was mentioning on the thread a page back.)
The random choices of Terra and Naminé's actors being at all the events has me suspicious. Especially since Nomura said something is in the works.
Maybe he's going to try and make these concerts canon, after all. o_0 (Please don't, Nomura-san.)
It's probably nothing to overthink at all. Who knows? Maybe the two of them are just the only ones who can always make it. And/or maybe both of them can sing, or something, and might accompany Shimomura-san by performing lyrics to some of the songs (probably not).
But in any case, I'm curious to see what develops from this and just what the "something" is that Nomura's looking forward to in his tweet.
Okay, so the First Breath concert is tomorrow[or tonight because Japan is a day ahead of us?]. If anyone manages to get there, tell me what music they played when ya get back. :3

tonight whicj 11:00 pm my time which is 1pm japan time it starts and 12:00 my time which 2:00 pm japan time it steat i think aibo_ac7 on twitter is going to the 2:00 pm today
1 PM JST is 12 AM EDT, and aibo is going to the 1 PM one, not the 2 PM time.

no it said 2:00 pm on the ticket
It clearly says 13:15, which if you put online it converts to "12:15 AM EDT". Japan is 13 hours ahead of us, not 14.
1 PM JST is 12 AM EDT, and aibo is going to the 1 PM one, not the 2 PM time.

Welp, I'll be asleep by then. Anyway, how long is the concert? Sorry if that question sounds stupid
Welp, I'll be asleep by then. Anyway, how long is the concert?
Going by the ticket info, should only be 45 minutes per session.

45 minutes? Tbh I thought it would be longer.

I'm getting so very excited about this! Here's hoping that if there's anything new or important there (and if they're allowed to, of course), the people attending willll tweet about it!:)
Maybe we won't have to wait until December for more news, after all. (Wishful thinking, I know.)

i think aibo will tweet about on what they heard i mean aibo tends to tweet baout this kind of stuff
I'm hoping aibo does, she typically tweets the info at the least, if they decide to keep any potential footage private for attendees only. She did something similar with D23 Expo Japan 2015.
i dont they show new footage i think maybe that for december but i could see aibo tweeting the songs they played there and i hope the new songs will be awesome
aibo is at the door of the concert
