No numbers have been released but two New Japan sources (as well as their Twitter) have said that ticket sales for the Tokyo Dome are still ahead of the pace of last years show.
While totals arent official, 2018 revenues are expected to fall at about $43.6 million, up from $35 million last year, a 25 percent increase. A big key was the increase in live event ticket sales, but merchandise in 2018 was four times that of 2013, stemming from the LIJ sales and the U.S. market Hot Topic T-shirt sales. Almost 40 percent of ticket buyers to Japanese live shows are female. Going into the Dome show they are ahead of 100,000 in New Japan World sales, as compared to 60,000 at the same point last year in mid-December.
