Are you going to buy a train ticket on 11-11-11?

[gmat]

I've read on people planning to buy tickets this Friday. What about those visiting in Japan? Some ideas for me, Setagaya Line from Sangenjaya Station, a JR All Day Tokyo Pass, JR ticket from Shinjuku Station. Wonder if any stations will be selling special tickets?

 

 

Best wishes,

I bought one last year- Heisei 22, February 22, ie. 22-2-22.  Easiest and cheapest is to buy a platform pass (nyujou-ken).

Just the date? No specific time that crashes JR's system like in the past?

well I guess so since I take the LIRR into NYC for work and have a monthly ticket.

Well, now that you mention it ... I might just have to buy something.  I'm thinking I should go for 11:20 on 11/11/2011 ... but then, ticket vending machines aren't always accurate with the time, are they?

I'll be riding the Chikuho Dentetsu on the 11th which will require a ticket but as Bikkuri reminds us the date will probably read 23/11/11.

 

My railpass expires on 23/11/23.

What are you doing posting in this thread?  Don't you realise we're all waiting for an update on your holiday?  Sheesh ... focus man, focus ....

Closest I'm going to get is a ticket for 11/12/11. And if I had waited until 11/11/11 to buy it, there wouldn't have been any seats left.
