・We have compiled frequently asked questions from our customers in a Q&A format for your information.

Thank you very much for your continued support and encouragement for FC Tokyo.
Regarding the "2022 Season Tickets", Dec 1 (Wed) 15:00 applications will start.

□2022 Season Ticket Q&A
Q1. If I purchase a "Home General Admission" or "Back General Admission" ticket and choose the [Advance Seat Allocation Method], is it possible to sit next to family or friends who also purchased season tickets?
A. There is a section in the "Survey form to answer desired areas, etc." where you can indicate your seating preferences. If you fill that out, we will confirm your requests and arrange the seating accordingly.
If you are watching with family or friends who are not annual ticket holders, please check [Q4].

Q2. What rules determine the seating arrangement during matches with the pre-assigned seating method?
A. For reserved seats, seating arrangements are made based on the usual seat positions and requests for adjacent seats. For free seating, arrangements are made according to rules decided by the club based on customer requests.

Q3. If I purchase a "Home General Admission" or "Back General Admission" ticket and select the [Advance Seating Allocation Method], am I unable to request seats such as front row or aisle seats? Also, what happens if my preferred area is fully booked?
A. There is a "Request Field" in the survey form where you can freely write your requests, so please fill it out if you have any. However, please understand that due to limited seat availability, we may not be able to accommodate all requests. Additionally, we will ask for up to your third preferred area, and seating will be allocated within the areas you specify as your preferences. In the unlikely event that all three preferred areas are fully booked, the club will contact you individually to ask for alternative preferred areas.

Q4. If you choose the [Pre-assigned Seating Method], can you move to other seats only when watching with family or friends?
If you choose option A. [Advance Seating Method], your seat for the entire year will be determined at the beginning of the season, and you cannot move to a different seat as an annual ticket holder. If you wish to move to another seat only when watching the game with family or friends, we recommend purchasing separate tickets and listing your annual ticket seat on the official resale.
* Please note that official resale is not guaranteed to be successful, and if it is successful, a handling fee will be charged. Thank you for your understanding in advance.

Q5. Will there be SOCIO advance sales for the 2022 season as well?
→A. In the 2022 season as well, SOCIO members will be the first to purchase tickets through the SOCIO advance sale.

Q6. I do not wish to auto-renew, but is it possible to purchase the same seat as last year?
A. For seat types with rights to the same seat (Pair Seat, Main SS, Main S, Back Center UF, Back Center), if the application and payment are completed by Tuesday, 12/21, the same seat will be secured even if you do not wish to continue automatically.

Q7. Can I change from [Advance Seating Method] to [Refund Method] or from [Refund Method] to [Advance Seating Method] after purchase?
A. Changes cannot be made after purchase, so please be sure to check the details carefully before proceeding with your purchase.

Q8. How do I continue the pair seat?
A. The 2022 season is also in a waitlist status, so for everyone who purchased for the 2021 season, we will send a separate application form necessary for continuation, so please proceed with the continuation process from there.

For more details, please check below. (As of 11/25 (Thu))

Starting from the 2022 season, both the "2022 Annual Ticket" and the "2022 Club Support Member" will be automatically renewed.

□Main Changes for the 2022 Season
Change ①You will be asked to choose either the "Advance Seating Method" or the "Refund Method."
The 2021 season tickets were sold using the "refund method", but based on the survey results provided by SOCIO members, we will offer both the "pre-assigned seating method" and the "refund method" for the 2022 season.
Based on the J.League's guidelines for COVID-19 measures, when matches are held with capacity restrictions regarding the number of attendees and seating, you will need to choose either the "pre-arranged seating method" or the "refund method" before applying for your annual ticket rights.

[Regarding the Pre-Seat Assignment Method and Refund Method]

[For those who purchased "Home Free Seats" and "Back Free Seats" with the pre-assigned seating method]
In the case of a match with limited attendance where all seats are reserved, please take your seat as indicated on the seat sticker that has been pre-assigned. After your application, there will be a URL for a survey form in the payment completion email where you can indicate your preferred area and adjacent seat requests, so please let us know your preferences from there.
* Please note that the seat location will be determined by the club, so we cannot accommodate specific seat requests.

<Back Free Seating>

Change Point ②New Main SSS Reserved Seats will be established.
・The main S designated seats in the lower level of the main stand (north side and south side) will consist of a total of four blocks, two blocks each, closer to the center.
・The two blocks on the north side (from the home side) will be sold as annual tickets.
・You will be able to watch from the same seat with priority in the following years.

For those who wish to apply, please select a seat type other than the Main SSS designated seat and indicate your preference for the Main SSS designated seat in the "Request Section". (Applicable to those who make payment by December 21 (Tuesday))
We will contact only the winners in December.
