[9/29 Update]
Added some spectator manners in response to the relaxation of visitor restrictions on 9/28.
In the case of a strict security system and matches under strict security measures, in addition to the common viewing manners & rules of the J League, we will proceed with preparations in accordance with the newly established "J League Guidelines for New Coronavirus Infection Control" as a measure against the new coronavirus infection. Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, government announcements, and the decisions of local governments, there is a possibility that restrictions, transition periods, and operational methods may change suddenly.Regarding this match, as of the ticket sales date of September 25 (Saturday), the status of the extension of the state of emergency and the application of priority measures to prevent the spread of the virus is uncertain, so tickets will be sold based on the premise of holding the match with a limit of 5,000 people. If the situation changes, such as the lifting of the state of emergency, we plan to relax the entry restrictions in accordance with the operational protocols at that time.Tickets for the "visitor seats" will not be sold, so those who support the visiting team will not be able to attend. Please note that entry, viewing, and cheering while wearing the visiting team's uniform or goods are not allowed. However, if restrictions are relaxed, there is a possibility of additional ticket sales and the establishment of visitor seats. The date and time of additional sales will be announced as soon as they are decided.
