Overview

Cheap Trick, the iconic American rock band, will perform in Japan as part of their Farewell Tour, marking their final shows in the country. Renowned for hits like “I Want You to Want Me” and “Surrender,” and their legendary 1978 album Cheap Trick at Budokan, the band delivers high-energy power-pop and rock performances. Concerts are scheduled at Osaka International Convention Center (Grand Cube Osaka) on September 29, 2025, and Nippon Budokan in Tokyo on October 1, 2025. These ~2-hour shows, featuring Robin Zander, Rick Nielsen, Tom Petersson, and Daxx Nielsen, are a must-see for rock fans, especially given the band’s historic connection to Japan.

Disclaimer

Jasumo offers a facilitation service for foreign tourists and non-Japanese residents in Japan, helping them access and apply for tickets to various events, including but not limited to sports, festivals, and cultural activities. We are not a reseller of tickets, nor do we sell tickets directly. Our role is to support international customers by guiding them through the official ticket booking process, ensuring they can secure their tickets through recognized platforms and authorized providers.

As a business based in Japan with a bilingual staff and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by non-Japanese visitors, we address common bottlenecks such as:

• Language Barriers: Navigating Japan’s primarily Japanese-language ticketing systems can be challenging for foreign tourists. Jasumo provides bilingual support to bridge this gap and ensure a smooth booking experience.
• Access to Japanese-Only Platforms: Many events in Japan require local knowledge to navigate and access, and often these platforms do not offer international payment options or are difficult to use for non-Japanese speakers. We facilitate the booking process by providing guidance and helping with international payment methods where applicable.
• Limited Availability & Complex Registration: Events in Japan often have limited capacity, and understanding the timing and process for securing tickets can be confusing for international visitors. Jasumo helps you manage deadlines and requirements, giving you the best chance of securing your entry.

Due to high demand for Cheap Trick’s Farewell Tour 2025, especially for S Seats and Budokan’s iconic show, availability is not guaranteed. Refunds will only be issued if entries cannot be secured through official channels or in case of cancellation. We strongly recommend purchasing tickets by August 15, 2025, at official prices (¥15,000–¥16,000) or monitoring official resale (~5 days prior) to avoid inflated reseller prices (e.g., ¥283,500 for Tokyo fan club tickets).
