Thank you very much for your always passionate support.
Until now, we have not implemented clear queue management for the entry waiting line before the venue opens. To improve this, we conducted trials last season to verify and consider the operational methods, but we apologize for any inconvenience caused due to the unfamiliarity of the process. Based on this, starting from February of this year, we will operate and implement the entry waiting line using the methods outlined below. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
[Updated: 2/25]
(1) Regarding the response for free seating SOCIO after the opening, we have changed the regrouping time if you move away from the waiting line area after moving to it.
Before Change: Please return to the waiting line by 1 hour before the SOCIO gate opening time.
Please return to the waiting line by 30 minutes before the SOCIO opening time.
1. Implementation Method
(1) For Free Seating SOCIO Members
① Before entering Ajinomoto Stadium premises (hereinafter, before opening)
・The order of entry for SOCIO priority will be determined separately for each gate (North, Back).
・Only securing a spot with a plastic bottle (*note) will be considered valid for reserving a place before opening.
・The time for reserving a spot will start from 22:00 two days before the match.
Example: For a match kicking off at 14:00 on Feb 29 (Sat), it will start from 22:00 on Feb 27 (Thu).
Any reservations made before this time will be considered invalid.
・The location will be the "Euro Sports Ajinomoto Stadium Store Side Triangle Square" within the stadium premises. (See the diagram for the pet bottle storage area)
・Please follow the instructions of the security personnel when placing plastic bottles two days before the match.
・The use of plastic bottles to reserve spots will be implemented to determine the order of entry at the time of opening. Even without reserving a spot, SOCIO members will still have priority entry as before.
