About tickets

This year, in view of preventing the spread of the new coronavirus infection, we will limit the number of people in the hall, so tickets will be sold in fixed numbers for each day (online presale only). Therefore, in order for as many game fans as possible to enjoy TGS2022, general visitors will be able to enter on the afternoon of September 16, the second working day.

Afternoon tickets will also be available on September 17 and 18, which are open to the public. However, this year, in a bid to prevent the spread of infection, primary and younger students, including infants, are not allowed to enter even if accompanied by a guardian.
