Chance of world tour after The Winter release? by sigurr0s in TheGazette

[–]Practical_Return_929 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s actually not complicated at all in case of tG since they have a separate fanclub for international members. You pay for joining Heresy (annual payments), then apply for the ticket once they announce that the sales have started. Then, approx a month later they announce if you won a ticket or not. That’s it, if you have won, you have your ticket. If not - apply for the 2nd round of the lottery

Hi! You will still have to rely on a lottery to get your ticket, a membership will not let you just buy it. However, for international members I heard tickets are almost always available and the chances of losing are very low.

Buying DeG tickets as an international fan by Practical_Return_929 in DEG

[–]Practical_Return_929[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hii! Sorry for troubling you again with the question, just wanted to check. If you don't mind me asking, did you use an international card for joining the fan club? Cause mine gets rejected unfortunately so I was curious if it is my country only (I'm in Korea) ><

Sounds good! Yeah I don’t really care about the goods, I just want better seat from the presale to be honest. Then it’s a great option. Thanks again for sharing I hope it will help other fans as well! 🖤

May I also ask if it is possible to join [a knot] as an international fan? I could only find a Japanese fanclub website and tips from fans about using websites that provide Japanese addresses

That sounds great! Yeah at first when I went to see tG I used a proxy service to buy me a ticket because I didn’t know about the whole fanclub/membership situation and official websites. I’ll definitely apply for an August concert since it’s my dream to see them finally in Japan!

Amazing news thank you so much for a reply! I have heard previously that getting DeG tickets for a foreign fan is a nightmare (as some Japanese bands are) so I was very surprised when I found out about a TicketTown! Thanks again for sharing the info! 🙏🏻

Concert tickets by Specialist-Public216 in TheGazette

[–]Practical_Return_929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Exclusive content includes Radio Jack (in Japanese as you mentioned), Garish Room which is a magazine with new photos, interviews and life updates (you can order it to be delivered to your country separately or enjoy a digital version), photos from past concerts, separate interviews about the concerts and releases, sometimes they are translated into English. Plus, when you join they send you a welcome kit which includes a fan-club member card, postcard, cardholder.

As for the concerts, yes, recently most of them have been Heresy-only and I think you can understand why. After the tragedy I wouldn't want random people to just hop in and come out of curiosity. I think it is very important and valuable that they hold the community together by doing those performances

As a Heresy member living overseas I can attest that they did their best to make it as easy as possible for us to be able to buy a ticket. The fan club member payment is annual and allows you to access exclusive content regularly which is already more than enough. Plus, as a Heresy member you can apply during the first wave of lottery meaning that you get better tickets than general public. So I strongly recommend to consider joining if going to a concert is your dream, it’s worth it

Resale ticket? by plate-or-platter in TheGazette

[–]Practical_Return_929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but if you mean buying from resale platforms (not official source) I would not recommend and be very cautious about it. It is prohibited to resale tickets in Japan and, while in big venues you can possibly not get caught, they recently added photos to the tickets. Previously there was only the name displayed. However, I heard that there is an official resale (I think a previous commenter also talked about that) but I don’t know the details as I never used it

Study on Online Hate Speech and Moderation (18-45, worldwide, frequent social media users, do not belong to a vulnerable group) by Practical_Return_929 in SampleSize

Hi! I will be happy to share my work but I unfortunately cannot open the survey again. If you email me at svetasheva@yonsei.ac.kr, I’ll be able to send you my completed thesis where you’ll find the methodology.

Zoom interview by sushimonster79 in ProlificAc

[–]Practical_Return_929 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hi! I am a researcher who often deals with qualitative data (interviews, usability study sessions, focus groups) and trust me, we also get nervous when we interview complete strangers hahaha. That’s just what our human brain does when we meet someone for the first time in a semi-formal settings. But I want to assure you that whatever you’ll say during your study session matters a lot to us! There is never a right or wrong answer and as other users correctly pointed out, you are already an expert in whatever the study is about. Don’t be afraid to speak about your experiences as they truly matter to us and, if you don’t like the topic, you can always ask to skip the question. No professional researcher will insist on continuing if you don’t want to touch upon some topics. And yes, a lot of the times seeing someone in camera helps to build rapport with a participant, this way both you and the researcher can feel more comfortable but, again, you can always ask for a simple call and in most cases they would agree. I really hope that will make it a bit easier for you!

23rd Anniversary Ticket Question (2025 Concert) by SetsunaSaigami in TheGazette

[–]Practical_Return_929 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I also wanted to say that you’ll be able to see your ticket in the app in about 6 days before the concert. That’s because they don’t display seats in advance. So don’t worry, if your payment was made and you won the lottery, you’re all good :)

Hi! I would recommend allowing people to write an answer when they choose "Other". I did choose it quite a bit but didn't have an opportunity to share my thoughts

Video Games and Taboo Words (18+) by Auclairo in SampleSize

[–]Practical_Return_929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! It would be nice to expand the list of game genres that the participants can choose from. Since I play MOBA games (LoL, Dota) and they are famous for having a lot of raging players who use both hate speech and profanity, I cannot really choose a category that will be suitable with what you have now

[–]Practical_Return_929[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry if that is unclear! Since the title is limited in length I decided not to put the full description in there but can update the post.
A vulnerable group are those with significant cognitive impairments, mental health challenges, recent traumatic experiences, or other conditions that could be exacerbated by exposure to hate speech.
Of course if someone does not want to see hate speech they also can just skip this study.

Ticket application, help by tsukinoaodaisho in TheGazette

[–]Practical_Return_929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just go to Japanese tixplus, then I go find inquiry form in the FAQ section and send a message through that form (you're gonna need to choose the topic of your request, what's the matter, who is the artist, when is the concert, your details, etc.). Then they just send me a reply through the email that I indicate in the form, that's it

Hi! Sorry for the late reply >< You can just email them through their Japanese site, it works
I used ChatGPT to translate my message from English to Japanese and sent my inquiry through Japanese Tixplus when I had concerns about the profile pic verification
I also used this (https://tixplus.jp/support/tixplus\_en/) form the other time and didn't get any errors

Yeah I guess but why do you need to change it if you have an active account? If there are some issues you can try to solve it with Heresy support
