Are you, or someone you know, a Swiftie? Then you’ve probably already heard that Taylor Swift and The Eras Tour are coming to Tokyo. Here’s everything we know so far, including how to (maybe) get tickets for Tay Tay at Tokyo Dome in 2024.
tl;dr: If you want to go to any of the February 2024 shows, enter the lottery before July 10, 2023. Read on for more details.

The Eras Tour begins its global, uh, era this August in Mexico City. It will stop at just two cities in Asia: Tokyo and Singapore. Tay will play six days in early March at Singapore's National Stadium. Other stops in Asia-Pacific: Melbourne and Sydney — not bad options when you consider the weather in Tokyo in February.
While Sabrina Carpenter has been announced as the opening act for shows in Singapore, Melbourne, Sydney, and other locations, no opening act has been announced yet for Tokyo.
How much are tickets?
Tickets cost ¥18,000–¥30,000 depending on the seat tier. There is also a U-20 ticket, for people aged 20 and younger, that costs ¥8,800 and, if you want to pay a lot more, VIP packages.

The fine print notes that U-20 seats may have limited views. Also: valid photo ID will be required as proof of age. No children under pre-school age will be allowed.
How to get tickets for Eras Tour at Tokyo Dome
The most important thing you need to know about getting tickets is that there is a pre-sale lottery. This is the best — and probably the only — way to get tickets.
Taylor Swift pre-sale lottery
- Entry period: June 27, 2023 to July 10, 2023
- Draw announcement: July 25, 2023
You can enter the lottery anytime before midnight JST on July 10. There’s no rush to be first, but probably don’t wait until the last minute, in case everyone else does, too.
If there are any tickets remaining after the lottery, there will be a general admission sale. However, don’t expect there to be any remaining tickets: Japanese concert tickets routinely sell out at the lottery stage — and this is Taylor.
How to enter the pre-sale lottery
The Eras Tour pre-sale lottery is exclusively through Lawson Ticket, so you’ll need to set up an account with them. For the lottery, you can choose the seat tier (including U-20) and the concert date, and rank up to three preferences. You can also apply for up to four tickets.
When the results are announced, you will either be offered one of your preferences — or nothing. There is A LOT of fine print.
And that’s all we know so far. We will update if/when we learn more. Good luck Swifties!
