The story
On the Hello! Project board, a warning about Juice=Juice’s “Best Hit Kayousai” fan club ticket lottery became a hot topic. It started with a post saying, “Don’t apply if you can’t go — skipping out could mean you won’t win any FC tickets for years to come.” Several users chimed in with stories of being blacklisted after no-showing a taping, while others urged caution, saying “this is just a ‘could happen,’ there’s no actual evidence.” The thread split over how real and enforced this “punishment” actually is.
What people said
If anyone out there is thinking "I might not be able to go, but I'll apply anyway just in case" — seriously, don't. ⚠
"If you win and don't show up on the day, you may not win any tickets going forward" — this is 100% real. You could end up locked out for years. And it's not just taping tickets, it's ALL FC tickets.
Background and Key Points of This Debate
Fan club tickets are allocated by lottery, but when it comes to TV taping/audience slots, empty seats look bad on broadcast — so it’s not unusual to hear, across various idol groups’ fan clubs, that organizers crack down hard on no-shows. That said, there’s no confirmed case of an agency or fan club officially spelling out a rule like “skip once and you won’t win for years” — what’s circulating in the thread is limited to individual fans’ personal experiences and secondhand accounts. The thread split over whether this “punishment” is an actual, enforced policy or just rumor and a self-protective warning. Most users agreed that no-showing a taping causes real problems for the TV station, but calls for actual evidence remained persistent. One point readers might miss: since tickets are physically mailed, organizers can’t necessarily tell for certain whether someone attended or not — leaving a gray area in how this is actually enforced.
