NaoMika Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) Hi, there. For people come to Namba Hatch from outside of Japan for the first time, here are some travel tips and practical information. - What you should know before the show- YOU DON'T HAVE TO QUEUE FROM EARLY IN THE MORNING IN FRONT OF THE VENUE On your ticket, you have a ticket number, [整理番号] in Japanese. Your ticket number dictates when you get to enter the venue. Audience will be admitted to the venue in order according to the numbers printed on their tickets. The fan holding ticket #1 gets to enter the venue first, followed by the fan holding ticket #2, and so on. When the venue doors open, venue staff will call numbers in order. The doors open at 18:00. Therefore, if you have a ticket with a very low number, it’s wise to arrive at the venue and line up fifteen minutes or so before the door time, if you want to make sure to get into the venue as quickly as possible. However, if you don’t get there in time, no worries—anyone whose number has already been called is free to enter the venue at any time. If you can’t speak Japanese, can’t understand instructions from the venue staff, and have no idea when they’re calling your number, you can show up early and attempt to explain this to a venue staff member in advance and hope that they’ll help you. You can also show your tickets to fans while the fans are lining up and hope that the fans will help you find your place in line. YOU HAVE TO BUY A MEDAL TO EXCHANGE DRINK TICKET IN ADVANCE Namba Hatch requires the payment of a drink ticket upon entry which is 600 yen. This is a charge levied by the hall, and is obligatory even if you have paid for a ticket in advance. You need to get a special medal before entering the venue. Namba Hatch has a vender machine near the entrance. Please note, only cash payments are accepted, so please prepare 6×100yen coins OR, 1×500yen coin and 1×100yen coin before arrival at the venue. You will be asked for the medal after passing the venue staff your ticket at the entrance and then you will receive a drink ticket. Your drink ticket will be redeemable at the venue bar for one drink. OTHER REQUIREMENTS I think it will be lifted by May, but there is still a mask mandate even if you are fully vaccinated. Guidelines for Preventing the Spread of Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) https://smash-jpn.com/new/detail.asp?id=4959&status=0 This movie is pretty informative. Please have a look. You will see chairs in the stalls area in this film, but there will be no chairs at MIKA's gig (standing) .

I was just thinking of planning to reach really early to snag a good standing location! I got my tickets through e+ (saw it in your other post :-) ), and it doesn't indicate the [整理番号], oddly! I would think I'll have to head over early, let the staff scan the QR code to know my number? Wondering if you have any experience with this? Also, I'm also wondering if there are concert etiquettes unique to Japan. Are there things that are impolite/strange when done in a concert in Japan, but otherwise normal in other places? E.g. holding up signs, singing along LOUDLY... Don't want to come across as rude :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the ticket number will be shown on your ticket with QR code after 9th May. But I'm not pretty sure. The booking system is only for customers who live in overseas countries. We (The Japanese) can't use the ticketing site so I have never used the site to book tickets. We book tickets via Japanese eplus site. The ticketing process looks a bit different from the international site. You might better to ask them about the issue.
