I don't mind a ticket system as long as it's announced in advance. Several times in Japan I've arrived at place at opening time to find out tickets were handed or a few hours before. Kind of like you're just supposed to know this.
But yes, I did pick one up. Total was 23,000 yen. I forgot to ask how many were initially in stock, but I think I saw four people before me walk out with them.
Turns out a lot of people were there just for normal shopping.
