In-person Tickets

Currently, there's only ticketing information for those who aim to attend in person. Tickets are 10800 JPY each (tax included).

Assorted notes:

  • If the government's event capacity limit is reduced by the day of the event, there will be an additional lottery to determine which current ticket holders can keep their tickets. Those who don't will get a refund.
  • You can apply for up to 2 tickets per application. You'll have to register the second person using e+'s system (they also need to have an e+ account), and both names will appear on the tickets. Details: https://eplus.jp/sf/guide/fellow-ep
  • Entry will use a facial recognition system, so you (and your companion, if applicable) need to submit a photo of your face(s) if you get a ticket. Details: https://eplus.jp/sf/web/guide/faceticket_about

This lottery includes seats that may have an obscured view of the performance or stage at some points, due to equipment or stage setup.
