So after multiple attempts at trying to get a Japanese credit card and failing each screening for no good reason (they refuse to tell you why, I failed rakuten, epos,etc), I have till Monday to figure something out once the first come first serve general ticket sale opens up for the concert I want to attend. I only wanted a jp credit card to be able to buy this god damn ticket and obviously I can’t do that anymore. I know paying by conbini is an option but on a first come first served basis, I doubt I have a chance.
But what other choice do I have right?
WELP THERE MAY BE HOPE!!!
I registered a LINE prepared card and entered the info on e plus and it WORKED.
BUT!!! I’m wondering if it will actually work on the day of the sales. I don’t want to add ichi man yen into this prepared card just for e plus to possibly reject it.
So my question here is, has anyone who lives in Japan successfully bought a ticket through e plus using the LINE pre payed card?
Am I good? Or should I give up and just miserably try to buy this ticket at the conbini?
Please anyone answer me, I’m debating if I should add money to this card…

Welcome to the club, lol. If all option fail, you could apply for the Wise Debit Card. I got one and I can use it anywhere here. Otherwise, you could apply for the Line pay account and they will give you a virtual debit card.
First come first serve with conbini means your place in line is locked until you pay at conbini. If you failed to pay within the provided time frame (usually 2 days) then it go back on sale. You don’t have to rush to conbini to pay and compete with others.
But I am pretty sure LINE Pay card will work.
I have bought 15+ tickets through eplus, each time I just go pay at a conbini. It’s a little extra cost, like 500 yen, but it’s not failed me yet. Just go for that.
I think Line Pay card would work but I agree you should just do conbini pay. Simpler, and also in case you need a refund (like I did for a canceled concert back in 2020) it’s pretty simple to get your money back from there.
Depending how popular who you want to see is it may not matter. * Cries in watched stray kids tickets disappear in minutes*
How did you get rejected by EPOS, never heard of them refusing anyone
I have gone to dozens of lives in Japan, all of them by conbini pay. It’s by far the easiest option if you don’t have a credit card
