▽Definition of consecutive seats when there is a gap between seats and precautions when purchasing tickets


As follows, when holding matches with restrictions, please sit with seats spaced apart. During the highest level of alert (strong restrictions) matches (with a limit of 5,000 people), the main side (Main SS, Main S) and the back side (Back, Center) will have a horizontal spacing of 2 seats, the north side (Home) will have a horizontal spacing of 2 seats up to the 17th row, and from the 18th row onwards there will be a horizontal spacing of 3 seats, and the upper level will have a horizontal spacing of 3 seats for all seats.
Therefore, when purchasing, please consider it as consecutive seats if there are 1 to 3 vacant seats with seat numbers.
※If you purchase seats automatically selected, even if they are consecutive seats according to the above rules, the system will display the message "We were unable to provide consecutive seats. We will provide seats that are separated. If there is no problem, please check the approval and proceed with the procedure as it is.". Please proceed as it is.
(Example) When you select two tickets and get "Row 1 Seat 1 and Row 1 Seat 4", Seats 2 and 3 in Row 1 are not available for sale, so please consider them as consecutive seats.


Note: It is also possible to purchase tickets with automatic seat selection at the time of purchase, but please note that it is not guaranteed to be able to secure adjacent seats due to system limitations. We recommend purchasing tickets with individual seat selection.

[Automatic Seat Selection Rules]
It is possible to purchase tickets with automatic seat selection at the time of purchase, but please note that the seats will be automatically selected according to the following rules. We recommend that you purchase seats by selecting them individually using "Individual Seat Selection".

・Automatic Selection Rule
Select a seat that is "close to the pitch" and "close to the center area" from the available seats within the selected seat type.

[Red shaded area] Seats that have already been sold
[Gray shaded area] Seats that were not originally for sale
[Yellow shaded area] Seats currently on sale

In the above case, if you choose automatic selection and purchase 2 tickets, it will be "vacant seats in rows 7, seat 4 and row 7, seat 7 are adjacent". However, in the case of automatic selection, seats that are "close to the pitch" and "close to the center area" will be automatically selected, so "row 3, seat 4 and row 6, seat 2" will be selected.
If you choose individual seats, you can select and purchase seats by yourself. You can also purchase seats as "7th row, seat 4 and 7th row, seat 7" together. Please purchase individual seats.


▼Major changes in the strict security system match
①All seats are designated seats
Please be seated in the designated seats for contact tracing and notification in case of infection. Please note that seat changes after purchase are not allowed.
Also, please note that the seat arrangement and prices for this match are different from regular matches due to the conversion to assigned seating. Please be careful when making your purchase.

On the day of the event, in order to prevent the spread of infection, we strictly prohibit watching the game by moving to seats or aisles that are covered or vacant. Please make sure to watch the game from the seat you have purchased, so please be careful when making your purchase.
