Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I want a different type of ticket (Early/Cosplay/PM Entry) not sold here
A: We are very sorry, but this system is only available for the tickets sold above due to difficulties in schedule and entrance management.
Q: I am cosplaying. Can I directly come in cosplay?
A: You cannot come or go in Cosplay, as this is not socially accepted in Japan, and must use the Changing Rooms. Only holders of Cosplay Entry Tickets can enter the Changing Room due to limited space.
Q: Me and my friends/family have tickets for different time slots. Can we enter together?
A: If it’s the same entrance gate, you can come together at the later time slot.

Q: Why there are different tickets for different areas if you can move between them inside?

A: Tickets cannot be reissued under any circumstances.
Q: I accidentally applied the ticket under my family’s name (parent, sibling etc.). Can I still enter?
