Buying tickets for shows abroad, any advice?

I am planning on seeing Judas Priest in March in Tokyo, and have never bought tickets for a show abroad. I don't want to sounds like an oaf, but what is the best way to do this? Get them as e-tickets? I'm concerned about them arriving in good time.

Any tips appreciated!

For the Vegas shows I got e-tickets & printed them myself. Ask Dan Bach about Japan. He's the expert there....

Cheers. Yeah, after a bit of digging I can just get e-tickets or pick them up at the box office.

Feel free to delete this thread! I posted before properly looking for myself.

I know Fox~Fan saw KISS in Japan last year and she said it is not easy getting tickets for people outside Japan?

Think Dan had the same issue...

For the KISS Japan show last year you needed both a Japanese address and credit card. It was very hard to get one unless you knew someone over there. Not sure if that's standard practise or if the KISS promotors were just being arseholes.

The options via Priest ticket webiste is that buyers abroad are just emailed e-tickets. Problem solved, no Japanese address needed.
