Selling off RSRF tickets!

gekokujyo · 2008.08.06, 08:22 AM

Okay, through some odd stroke of (un?)luck, I now have with me, 2 sets of passes for the Rising Sun Rock Festival (2 day passes, for both the 15th and the 16th).

Obviously, there's no point in me having 2 sets, so I am thinking of selling one set - Would anybody here be interested? I'll sell them off at cost price, 15000yen - this is inclusive of 2 sets of bus passes that ferry you between Azabu train station and the festival venue.

And. In the event nobody here's interested - does anybody know how easy it is to sell off gig tickets at the festival venue? I know it should be fairly easy to do so at proper concert venues but -Festivals-? And if I'm thinking of doing that (i.e. holding up a sign and hoping people will approach me to buy my tickets) - what exactly should I write so people get what I'm trying to say? I haven't used the Japanese language in ages so am fairly rusty.

Much thanks in advance!

I know, write this!

私を殺す!

Ok, I'm joking. Been obsessed with the spirit of dead mentioned in another thread >_>
I can't obviously buy that ticket, only if it was for collector's purpose (but then again, if I could pay that amount I would probably have the means toto go to Japan as well...), so I wish you luck trying to sell it.
And enjoy the festival!

just draw a big picture of the tickets with the word for 'sale in' Japanese on it.

Shinji, is that a quote? Otherwise, that's not a command XD

It's "Watashi wo Korosu!", I found it here and I think it is the correct translation for "Kill Me".
Quote? Command? ?_?

It is a 五段活用(5-row group) verb.
The ending of words varies a,i,u,e,o.

終止形(terminal form, or plain form) is 殺す(Korosu) but
命令形(imperative form) is 殺せ(Korose).

I think my English texts often includes this kind of mistakes.

Oh, ok! Thanks for the explanation, EmilScherbe

I guess my joke was lost in translation then ^^;
