I want to visit the Japanese F1 GP next weekend in Suzuka. I have tried to buy the ticket via Loppi system at Lawson stores but everything is in Japanese wich I don't understand. I asked several store clerks in diffrent stores for help but either they don't speak english or they don't understand the system theirselfs.
Is there any other way to get a F1 ticket other then at the Lawson stores? Please help.

Do you have any other Japanese speaking friends who could help you? Last year we purchased from the Japanese website:- http://www.suzukacircuit.jp/f1/Assuming you are trying to go for the actual race there are probably not many tickets left, and no cheap tickets from what I can see:- http://www.suzukacircuit.jp/ticket_s/2011/f1/freeticket/index.htmlBy the looks of it C1 at 28,000 yen is the cheapest. D5 at 37,000 is in a pretty good spot with a big screen TV in view. This site is linked off the Above Suzuka website as handling English "Tours":- http://vipe8.com/index-english.htmlThey also seem to sell the individual tickets. Although in general they seem to ship via EMS, so you may try them through their contact page or try phoning I guess to see if there is another way. When we purchased ours (direct) we were able to pick them up at the Suzuka Bowling Alley on the day instead of having them posted to us. I don't speak enough Japanese to walk you through how to do it with the Loppi system but you probably need at least the L-code for what you wish to purchase. I'd try the above websites first though and see how you go. Hope this helps!

Thanks for all the help and effort GC3!
With your directions I managed to get a ticket for the D5 grandstand through Loppi.
Only thing is that they ask for your name but it was all in Japanese so I just filled in some random characters. I hope they don't make a problem of that at the track.

I'm not sure if you searched but I made a long post in this thread which is probably worth reading:- http://www.japan-guide.com/forum/quereadisplay.html?0+84890Only thing is that they ask for your name but it was all in Japanese so I just filled in some random characters. I hope they don't make a problem of that at the track. It might have been handy to learn the Katakana for your name but I'm sure you will be fine. Enjoy the race!
