Official website: https://entame.knt.co.jp/tour/2024/3/unitkoshien/en/tour.html

This is what each participant will get in each plan:

For plans A-C, you may either

  • apply only for one person and get a single room

For plan D, you must apply as a pair, and there are only twin rooms.

The pricing differs in each case:

In either case, you must supply identifying information (name, date of birth, nationality, etc.) for all people on the application.

In addition to the ticket(s) and hotel, each participant will get "cheering goods". (There is no information about what specifically this may include.)

Ticketing/Application Process

  • Apply at: https://entame.knt.co.jp/tour/2024/3/unitkoshien/en/tour.html
  • Apply within: 2024-01-18 19:00 to 2024-01-22 18:00
  • The lottery result will be emailed to you on or after 2024-01-26.
  • If you are selected, you will pay by credit card (in yen) at the URL sent to you.
  • Payments are scheduled to be processed between 2024-01-26 and 2024-02-01.
  • You'll need to bring your passport to pick up your ticket(s). (And to get into Japan...)

In-person Tickets (Japan)

To obtain a ticket to attend, you (usually) must enter a lottery, and if you win you'll get to pay for the ticket. Applications are 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 (with bonus merchandise): 16000 yen (tax in)
  • Regular: 12000 yen (tax in)
  • U-20 Discount Ticket: 6000 yen (tax in)

Notes:

  • The bonus merchandise will be an "anniversary pennant" (450 x 300 mm) with art of all the participating units on it. It will be shipped—only to Japanese addresses—after the event.
  • Some seats may require you to sit the entire time (as opposed to all other seats, which allow standing during the concert).
  • The 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 open sales, after the lotteries that require codes from merchandise. You'll need to bring an ID that can be used to verify your age.

What's with the lottery ordering?

Usually, there are lotteries designated as the 1st lottery (最速, 1次) and sometimes 2nd lottery (2次) or even 3rd. This tends to determine the order in which the seat pool is filled. But for this concert, such wording doesn't appear on the site. So it's not clear how the seat pool will be prioritized for each lottery.

Want to order the Blu-rays/CDs?

CDJapan ships overseas, and from personal experience (shipping to the US), items come fairly quickly if you order ahead and choose DHL/FedEx. Links to buy from CDJapan:

CDJapan often marks the "first press" as sold out quite early, but this just means the first batch of CDs they've gotten has sold out. They can receive more CDs from their supplier, and usually these will still have application codes until far after the application date.
