Thank you very much for your always passionate support.
Until now, there has been no clear organization of the waiting lines before the gates open. To improve this, we conducted a trial last season to examine and consider the operational methods, but we apologize for any inconvenience caused due to unfamiliarity. Taking this into account, from February this year, the waiting lines before entry will be managed and implemented using the following methods. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

[Updated: 2/25]
(1) Regarding the response for Free Seating SOCIO members after the venue opens (②), the regrouping time after moving to the waiting line area and leaving it once has been changed.
＜Before the change＞Please return to the waiting line up to 1 hour before the opening time of SOCIO.
＜After the change＞ Please return to the waiting line 30 minutes before the opening time of SOCIO.

1. Implementation Method

① Before entering Ajinomoto Stadium premises (hereinafter, before opening)
