Purchased in January and went in April of this year. Cost $50 for 2 tickets, no issues.tvaddicto wrote: ↑ I was planning to buy the Ghibli museum tickets for the family (4) for the summer trip to Japan, and the only distributor in Canada is JTB Canada. Seems the Toronto office can't really issue tickets, nor can I have Vancouver/Richmond office mail it to Toronto for free pickup. Leaving the xpresspost shipping as the only available option for delivery for $15. Their site is wonky with invalid security certificate, and no eCommerce set up (you submit your credit card info through the site (w invalid https certificate), but they decide how much to take off the card). I think they are honest and amt charged would be correct, but all the little quirks I'm seeing coupled with the higher cost I'm kind of reluctant to pull the trigger. You can not buy it over the phone. With the processing fees, the shipping, and the tickets for four of us, cost is at $106.
Wondering if anyone has used JTB for these tickets and how their transactions went ?

I can confirm it's legitimate but also agree on how shady it looks. They are severely behind the times in this aspect. I find quite a bit of Japanese companies to be like this in my experience.tvaddicto wrote: ↑ I was planning to buy the Ghibli museum tickets for the family (4) for the summer trip to Japan, and the only distributor in Canada is JTB Canada.

English instructions for purchasing the tickets using the kiosks at Lawson's:doctorcru wrote: ↑ You can buy Ghibli tickets at Family Mart in Japan as well. They have an automated kiosk with an English mode. Worst case, you use Google Translate’s camera to get a gist of what’s written on the screen or ask the cashier for help. The tickets do go fast though so look through all the dates.

horrible advice. the odds of a person showing up 2 weeks before a visit to the museum and there being any tickets for purchase are astronomically low.ChinpokoMon wrote: ↑ English instructions for purchasing the tickets using the kiosks at Lawson's:

I do not agree (well, personal opinions...). I'm far from being a hard-core Ghibli fan (maybe that's why I liked it), but I found the place very enjoyable. Sure, it is a little small, can be crowded pretty easily, but in the end, I spent a lovely 5h there.

Question on JTB and transactions was simple, not warranting your little condescending response. Anyone doing any research around Ghibli museum ticketing and access can understand the limitations you have to contend with.mkjr wrote: ↑ On ghibli dont be stupid. Pay via JTB, a massive legit company, and pay the nominal Express post, frankly, pay for overnight courier. If you are stupid and cheap you will regret. You should be happy you can get tickets and this price. If you cheap out on delivery costs you have clearly done zero research on the museum. Enjoy but please. Penny pinch on stuff in Japan and enjoy nothing.
