Tickets 2026

Tickets go on sale from Feb. 27.

Tickets range from ¥2,000 to ¥50,000 per person, depending on seat type and whether you buy in advance or on the day.

Best options include the 2nd-floor reserved seats, which offer good views at a more approachable price (from ¥5,500 to ¥10,500 in advance), and box seating for 2 people, which gives you a more private setup from ¥13,500 per person.

At the top end, front-row seats with folding chairs are the most premium option at ¥50,000, while student same-day tickets (ID required) are available for as little as ¥2,000.

Note that re-entry is not permitted.

Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
