Please note that ticket availability is not guaranteed. After receiving your request, we will first check real-time availability on the official ticket platform.

Faqs

How does the ticket request process work for international visitors?

You start by filling out a contact form with your event preferences and seating requirements. Our team then checks availability and guides you through the payment and application steps required by Japanese systems.

Can I get tickets if the official website says they are sold out?

Yes, if the official allocation is exhausted, we can look into verified and trusted resale marketplaces within Japan. This allows us to find secondary market options that are often difficult for overseas fans to access safely.

What happens if I cannot navigate the Japanese-only ticketing apps?

Our bilingual team provides end-to-end support for smart ticket applications, ensuring you have the correct apps installed and your identity verified. We handle the technical hurdles so you can focus on enjoying the event.

What forms of payment are accepted through the Jasumo service?

We coordinate various payment methods to suit your needs, including major credit cards, Japanese convenience store payments, and ATM transfers. This flexibility solves the common issue of foreign credit cards being rejected by local sites.

Is my ticket guaranteed once I submit a request form?

A request does not guarantee a ticket, as availability changes in real-time on official platforms. However, once we confirm availability and receive your confirmation, we make every effort to secure the best possible seats for you.
