Faqs

What is the specific policy regarding photography during the gymnastics competition?

Photography is strictly prohibited by default to protect the concentration of the athletes and adhere to broadcasting rights. However, spectators may take photos using smartphones only if they have purchased a separate photography permit ticket and wear the provided wristband.

Can I re-enter the Takasaki Arena if I need to step out during the day?

Yes, re-entry is permitted throughout the event day as long as you have your valid ticket with you. Each individual must possess their own ticket, whether in digital or paper format, to pass through the security gates for re-admission.

Are there age-based discounts or free entry options for younger children?

Preschool-aged children are allowed to enter for free, provided they sit on the lap of an accompanying adult. If a separate seat is required for the child, a standard ticket must be purchased for that seat.

How do I share tickets if I have purchased them in bulk for a group?

Tickets can be distributed to other members of your party via screenshots or paper printouts of the digital pass. If digital sharing is not possible, the original purchaser must be present to accompany the group members into the venue.

Is flash photography allowed if I have a valid photography permit?

No, flash photography is strictly forbidden even with a permit as it can dangerously distract gymnasts during their routines. Violating this rule or failing to remain in your assigned seat while taking photos may lead to removal from the venue.
