【About Seat Spacing】
For this match, only the home and visitor free seating areas designated as the "Cheering Area" will have a checkerboard seating arrangement with one seat left empty in front, behind, and to the sides.
Note: Due to the structure of the stadium, there are areas where the seats are not arranged regularly. Thank you for your understanding.


Tickets will be sold with seats filled except for the cheering area.



2. Regarding the viewing for 50% stadium capacity limit and SOCIO and corporate annual ticket holders
Based on the J-League's newly established guidelines for COVID-19 response and the government's basic countermeasures, the stadium capacity will be limited to 50%.
As mentioned earlier, the "Cheering Area" will have spaced seating, but outside of the "Cheering Area," seating will be close together.
There is no 50% limit per seat type; ticket sales will end as soon as the number of tickets sold reaches 50% of the stadium's capacity, so please purchase your tickets early.


[To all SOCIO members]
Although there is a 50% capacity limit, seating with spacing will only be available in the lower section of the home free seating, so it will be conducted under Pattern A. You can enter with your SOCIO card regardless of the pre-assigned seating method or refund method.
Refunds will only be accepted for home free seating SOCIO members who have selected the refund method. (See below 3.)

【Corporate Annual Ticket Holders】

3. Regarding the refund process for home free seating SOCIO
Regarding the refund method, it is stated at the time of sale that "refunds will be issued for matches that are held with restrictions and require seating with space between seats."
