also whats the easiest way to get there and can I buy tickets from Loppis machines the day before

The show is held in Makuhari Messe, Chiba City:

Loppi machines are located in Lawson convenience stores across Japan. You should be able to purchase the ticket even at a Lawson in Kyoto. The main challenge, however, is the fact that Loppi instructions come in Japanese only, I believe. If you don't read Japanese, you will need help.

By the way, same day tickets cost only about 200 yen more than the advance tickets, I think.

I am staying at this place
