Stream Tickets

There will be paid live streams of this event. Details will be announced later.

In-person Tickets (Base Tickets)

To obtain a ticket to attend, you (usually) must enter a lottery, and if you win you'll get to pay for the ticket. If there are still tickets left after all the lottery rounds, there may be first-come-first-serve sales.

Ticketing is on the e+ website. Click here for a guide to ticket applications on e+. (If you applied for tickets before 2020, some things have changed, so you may want to read this.)

Ticket Types

  • Regular (全席指定): 8500 yen (tax in)
  • U-20 Discount Ticket: 4250 yen (tax in)

U-20 tickets are valid for attendees who will be less than 20 years old on the day of the event. They will be sold starting from the "open" (meaning anyone with an account can apply) sales rounds, after the lotteries that require codes from merchandise. You'll need to bring an ID that can be used to verify your age. (If you're reading this, that would likely be your passport.)

Lottery #1: Liella! CLUB 2026

To enter this lottery, you must be a member of Liella! CLUB 2026. You can become a member by signing up on the Liella! CLUB website. You'll need a Japanese address—forwarding services like Blackship, Tenso, and TensoJapan can provide you with one.

  • Apply from the link on the Liella! CLUB website.
  • Apply within: 2026-05-16 12:00 to 2026-06-01 18:00
  • Results/payment: 2026-06-06 13:00 to 2026-06-09 21:00
  • You can submit one application for each session. On each application, you can apply for either 1, 2, 3, or 4 tickets. (For each application, you either win or lose—if the application is for 2 tickets, you win either 2 tickets or 0 tickets.)

Lottery #2: Official Advance Lottery

This is open to anyone with a Japanese e+ account.

  • Apply at: https://eplus.jp/liella-taiikusai/
  • Apply within: 2026-06-01 18:00 to 2026-06-14 23:59

In-person Tickets (Upgrade Tickets)

In order to enter the lottery for upgrade tickets, you must first win a ticket from Lottery #1.

An upgrade ticket guarantees that your seat will be in a certain area.

Upgrade tickets will cost 12500 yen (tax in). They're called "Special Cheering Seats" that correspond to 1 of the 3 teams.

Specific to this event:

  • The upgrade ticket areas are blocks in the arena separated by team. (For example, at least one block will correspond to Team Amatou.)
  • When you apply for an upgrade ticket, you will pick the team you want to be assigned to. Should you win, your (and your companions') nicknames will be listed on the team's banner at the venue; you'll input these nicknames on the upgrade ticket application.
  • There will be games during the event that participants in the Special Cheering Seats can join in on. (You don't go up on stage but rather stay at your seat.)

Bonus Merchandise

The bonus merchandise will be a bib corresponding to the team you selected on the ticket application.

You must pick up the bonus merchandise at the event venue. They will not ship it to you if you don't pick it up.

Application Guidelines

Details about the application logistics will be announced in late June 2026.

If it is like previous upgrade lotteries (Ikizulive! and GKSS), here are some notes:

  • The application link will be emailed to the main applicant for the tickets purchased in the regular ticket lottery. If you are the main applicant and didn't get an email, check the ticket details in your application history.
  • You must apply with the exact same personal information and account(s) you won with in the regular ticket lottery—don't change any info on your account(s) or use different accounts.
  • Do not submit the application from any of the companion accounts from the regular ticket lottery. The main applicant must be the one to apply.
  • If the winning application in the regular ticket lottery was for 2 tickets, and you want to enter the upgrade lottery, you must apply for the same number of tickets as in the original application. (For example, if you and a friend won a pair of tickets, you cannot apply for only 1 upgrade ticket—you must apply for 2 or 0.)
  • Even if you don't win the upgrade lottery, you can enter with your original ticket.
  • For wheelchair users and handicapped customers, you can apply for and use the upgrade tickets. If the organizer determines it will be difficult to watch the event from the upgrade ticket area, you may be directed to the normal wheelchair-exclusive space.
