When I saw that tweet I refreshd a lot just to check but it said sold out non the less. so I maybe they made a mistake and still posted about the benefits of vip when it was not available anymore? (maybe ni one told them it was sold out )

Well on the pre sale mail they did stated:

Quote: Tickets are definitely going to be hard to come by, so please check the presales out.

*Tickets are provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Presale tickets will go quickly - thanks for your understanding!

But if I understand correctly, what happened was that they didn't initially leave any VIP tickets in reserve, and actually did sell out of them at presale, in Paris and London (don't know about Taiwan). So, when they went on sale to the public, Nov. 17th, VIP tickets weren't available, at first. At least, I saw fans posting that VIP was sold out, when they first went on sale to the public.

Then, later on Nov. 17th, word was sent out by
Larc_Official on Twitter, http://twitter.com/#!/LArc_official
and their Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/pages/LArc-en-Ci...5632806476 ,
that there were more available. Whether that means that somebody forgot to leave some VIP tickets reserved for sale to the public, or that the call for them was unexpectedly high, and they decided to lay more VIPs on after sale to the public had already started, I don't know.

I've seen a couple of people say that they just constantly refreshed the ticket page forever, till something became available that wasn't before. Since the announcement now is that VIP's are sold out, I don't think that's an option anymore, for Paris and London.

It's going to be a bumpy ride, I guess, after presale wasn't announced until an hour and a half after it already opened, in some locations, and morning of, in others, and now VIP selling out at presale, then instead of announcing availability of more VIPs to the registered email addresses, they sent out announcements on Twitter and facebook...

Hey, you international jet set, is this the norm in Japan, not to leave any tickets or at least any VIP tickets in reserve during presale, for sale to the public?
