About holding matches at 100% capacity

If the application of the priority measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is lifted, FC Tokyo will operate matches at 100% capacity from April onwards. There will be changes such as the establishment of some free seating areas from all reserved seating, so please check the changes below.

This will be the first home game held at 100% capacity in about two years since the AFC Champions League in February 2020. We appreciate your cooperation with the infection control measures so far, and to continue making steady progress toward normalcy, we kindly ask for your continued understanding and cooperation.


□ Changes for games at 100% capacity
① Entry with SOCIO card
・For games at 100% capacity, all SOCIO members can enter using their SOCIO card regardless of the selected method (pre-assigned seating or refund). (Held under Pattern A)

② Establishment of free seating areas
・The following areas will be designated as free seating areas.
Applicable seat types: Home Free Seating, Back Free Seating, South Side Free Seating, Visitor Free Seating

③ End of Checkerboard Seating
・Checkerboard seating will end in all areas, and tickets will be sold with seats filled in.

④ Priority Entry for SOCIO Members
・Priority entry will be implemented for SOCIO and corporate season ticket holders before general gates open. Please check the official website for details.

⑤ Organization of Entry Waiting Lines
・With the establishment of free seating areas, entry waiting lines will be organized. Details will be announced separately on the official website.

⑥ Seat Type Restrictions by Gate
・For a certain period after gates open, seat types allowed to enter through each gate will be restricted. Please confirm your seat type and the gate you can enter if you arrive early.

⑦ Ticket Sales Start 3 Weeks in Advance

□ Continued Cooperation Requested
We ask all attendees to continue cooperating with measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

(1) Please refrain from attending if it is difficult for you to come.
・If you are not feeling well (e.g., fever of 37.5°C or higher, cough, sore throat, fatigue, abnormal taste or smell, or other symptoms)
・If you have received a positive diagnosis and are subject to behavioral restrictions by a medical institution (even if you received a positive result from a test before the positive diagnosis)
・If there are suspected cases of infection among cohabiting family members or close acquaintances
・If you have traveled to countries or regions that have entry restrictions or require a quarantine period after entry imposed by the government within the past 14 days, and have received a positive action restriction from a public institution.

(2) Please do not engage in handshakes, hugs, etc.

(3) Please maintain social distance (during entry and exit, in restroom lines, etc.).
Especially the restrooms and concession stands just before the match starts and during halftime will be crowded, so please use them at different times if possible.

(4) Please wear a mask at all times in the stadium.
・We recommend using non-woven fabric masks with high filtration efficiency.
・As announced by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, even after receiving the vaccine, please continue to take infection prevention measures.
・Staff will remind those not wearing masks to put them on.
・Infants under 2 years old are allowed to enter and watch without wearing masks, as stated in the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare announcement (regarding effects on infants and children, question 10). For preschool children aged 2 and above, mask-wearing is recommended; however, if masks are worn, guardians and surrounding adults should carefully monitor the child's condition. If the child is unwell or finds it difficult to wear a mask continuously, there is no need to force mask-wearing. If masks are not worn, please cooperate with other infection prevention measures such as social distancing together with the guardians.

(5) Please wash your hands and disinfect your fingers frequently.
・From the perspective of infection prevention, please bring disinfectant (such as portable bottles) if possible.
