・Changed the seating arrangement for Main S lower level, center seats, and back seats from the 17th row onwards, increasing the gap between seats from 2 seats to 3 seats on both sides.
・Additional seats on the south side of the back seat
As follows, please sit with a space between seats during games with restrictions.
In any seat type or location, the seating distance is based on the J-League regulations, and there is a radius of 1m between the center of each seat and the center of the surrounding seats.
Erik's area[Target Seat Type]
Main SS Designated Seat All Areas
Main S Designated Seat Lower Level Rows 17-28
Main S Designated Seat Upper Level All Areas
Center Seat Rows 17-28
Back Seat Rows 17-28

[Seat Spacing]1 row empty, 2 seats empty on the left and right
During the state of emergency (strong restrictions), matches will be held with a limit of 5,000 people. The lower level of the Main Stand and the back side (back, center), as well as the north side (home), will have two seats between each other and one empty row up to the 17th row of the lower level. From the 18th row onwards, there will be three seats between each other. The Main SS, the upper level of the Main Stand, and the upper level of the home seats will also have three seats between each other.
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 and 4, and rows 7 and 7 are adjacent seats". 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 purchase "Row 7, Seat 4 and Row 7, Seat 7" as adjacent seats, so please consider purchasing individual seats.
▽Major changes in the strict security system match
①All seats are designated seats
Please be seated in 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.
Seats up to the 19th row in the lower stands are expected to get wet in the rain. 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.
With the conversion to all reserved seating, there will be no priority entry for SOCIO members.
