Hello, I’ll be in Tokyo for a few days, and wanted to catch a game at the Tokyo dome. I looked at the Giants schedule, and it says they have a home game on the 30th at 6pm, which is the only game id be able to go to. Tickets aren’t available for the game yet, so I checked the release schedule for the game, and it’s not listed at all. Does anyone know if the game is happening or not? If it is, when would tickets for it be released? Thanks

Hey! I'm here with some friends and we have an extra ticket to the game later today @tokyo dome. Anyone down!? Totally free.

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to Japan and I’m trying to buy 4 tickets for the Hanshin Tigers vs. Hiroshima Carp game on September 19th at Koshien.

I’ve hit a couple of walls and would appreciate some insight from the experts here:

1. Availability Confusion: I checked Lawson and the official site, and it says "End of sale" or "No seats available" for almost the entire season. I read online that season tickets went on sale in February, is it possible that a game in late September is already 100% sold out, or is there usually a second release for general sales later on?
2. Payment Wall: I tried buying through ePlus, but it won't accept my Mexican credit cards (BBVA). I also tried linking them to Alipay/WeChat with no luck.
3. The Goal: We are 4 people and really want to sit together, preferably in the 3rd Base Alps or Ivy/Breeze sections.

Is there a reliable way to get ePlus to work with foreign cards? Or, considering it's Silver Week, should I just give up on the official sites and look for a trusted proxy service? (Anything but StubHub/Viagogo prices, please!).

Thanks in advance for any tips! 🐯⚾️

Hi everybody, I am from the US flying into Tokyo the morning of Friday May 8th. Never been to Japan but super excited as I love baseball I’m looking to buy 2 tickets either for the Friday night game or the Saturday afternoon game. Just a few questions:

1. On the online portal (currently down for maintenance but will be up in 2.5 hours) it says that online ticket pick-up can be done at any 7/11 with a ticket kiosk. Are these easy to navigate if I can’t read Japanese? If they’re not, is it a better option to just buy tickets at the stadium?

2. I love keeping score and would like to do it at this game. However, it doesn’t appear that the Lions ever post their lineups in English/Latin characters whatever you want to call it. Is there something that I’m missing or am I just going to have to fill out my lineup card just using player numbers?

Thanks so much! Super excited for this weekend, hope everything goes smoothly.

Looking to go to the Lions game tonight, the english website is a little confusing. It says to pick up at 7/11 24 hours needs to have passed which obviously won’t work, then it says immediate pickup is available as well but there’s nowhere at the venue to redeem them? Just a little confused wondering what the best way to buy tickets for a game later tonight is, if that’s even possible. Thank you!

My husband and I will be in Osaka for the weekend games coming up. I can see they are sold out through the official site and the site cautions against ticket resellers.

Has anyone been able to buy resale tickets that are legit? Is it worth it to go to the stadium and try to get tickets in person?

I know this is the end of Golden Week so it may be extra insane. I did a bad job pre planning since regular season MLB tickets in the US are so easy to get.
