How will these events work?
It's hard to conclude much about NijiGaku's unit fanmeets since details are sparse, but the rough outline might be similar to Aqours' unit fanmeets.
Typical format of Aqours' Unit Live & Fan Meeting 2018-2019 events:
- Intro: short version of Aqours CLUB theme song
- Fan meeting: greetings, reading and responding to fan letters, variety/games (similar to typical livestream antics)
- Live: 5 songs (4 unit songs + 1 Aqours song)
- Encore: full version of the Aqours CLUB theme song
- Total time: about 2.5 hours
It's very possible they could mix things up—since NijiGaku is solo-focused, they could delve into each member's solo songs, and possibly not touch NijiGaku's full-group songs. Also, there's no official NijiGaku fan club (...yet?), so there's no such theme song to use for the fanmeets either.

In-person Tickets
To get tickets to attend in-person, enter a lottery for tickets on e+. e+ accounts require a Japanese phone number capable of receiving SMS.
- If any of these events becomes a spectator-less stream, then the corresponding application will carry over to a future event.
- 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
- You can apply for up to 2 tickets for each session per code (Blu-ray/CD lotteries) or account (open lotteries). 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

Warning: If you're overseas right now (at the time of writing, August 2021) and don't have residency in Japan, there's a high chance you won't be able to get into Japan. Japan's entry restrictions have been strict during the pandemic, with no signs of letting up in the next few months, and even new entries on work or study visas have reportedly been restricted.
